Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

After Lu Feishuang left, Yu Luoning stared at her departing figure for a while, lost in thought.

She turned around and her gaze fell on the rubbings on the table.

If Jiang Yuxing dares to cause trouble, he will be utterly disgraced.

It's not enough to just ruin Dongbao Shangzong's reputation; he also needs to broaden the horizons of his fellow villagers in the Northern Sword Alliance.

Yu Luoning put all of these into her Qiankun bag and walked to the table.

He took a brush from the brush holder on the table, dipped it in ink, and paused just as he was about to put pen to paper.

I originally intended to leave a message for Shi Shangxu.

The pen tip hovered on the paper for a moment before being put down.

He is not on the edge of the sword.

When Shi Shangxu came down the mountain the day before yesterday, he mentioned to her that he had taken on a job to go to the swamp to wipe out a group of troublesome monsters.

Before he left, he specifically instructed, "Don't go out on any dangerous missions while I'm gone. The distance is too great; even with the Heart-to-Heart Bell, we won't be able to sense each other."

Yu Luoning nodded at that time.

But recently, she has also set her sights on a good mission: to obtain the essence blood of the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyed Tiger.

This task actually yields a whopping 300 contribution points.

Risks and opportunities coexist; with such a high contribution point, obtaining its essence must not be easy.

Yu Luoning decided to go and meet them.

She turned around and pulled out a scroll of intelligence from under the table; it contained information about the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyed Tiger.

The Crimson Flame Golden-Eyed Tiger is a high-level demonic beast with the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and it inhabits the depths of the sect's western territory.

Its essence and blood have a miraculous effect on cultivators, strengthening their foundation and greatly increasing their masculine power...

Wait a minute, something doesn't sound right about this mission?

The task was issued by a senior sister named Su Man'er, who said it was a birthday gift prepared for their master.

Huh? If we do this so openly, won't the contents of the gift be exposed? Besides, it's supposed to nourish the blood and qi of an old man who's hundreds of years old.

This... is truly a unique form of filial piety.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Luoning closed the scroll of intelligence in her hand.

She slowly stood in front of the bronze mirror in front of the house and took out the fragment of the "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" from her Qiankun bag.

Following Lu Mingyu's instructions, she injected a wisp of spiritual energy into the fragment, and soon the fragment disappeared into her lower abdomen.

In a short while, the delicate face in the mirror slowly lost its original contours, and in the next instant, it had become a completely different appearance.

The person in the mirror is a middle-aged man of about 30 years old. His features are ordinary, and he wouldn't attract much attention in a crowd.

Yu Luoning changed into the prepared blue robe for male cultivators, then styled her hair into a neat topknot, and finally secured it with an ebony hairpin.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror for a long time, a slight smile playing on her lips, as she stroked a non-existent stubble on her face.

Master Yu, with his otherworldly and ethereal demeanor.

If only fragments of a mirage could be mass-produced.

If this were in modern times, people would definitely buy it; it would be a godsend for the cosplay community.

Even if Shi Shangxu himself passed by her in this outfit, he wouldn't recognize her.

Yu Luoning adjusted the Qiankun bag at her waist and hid the spatial jade bracelet in her wide sleeves.

Just then, the little mouse poked its head out, looked at her carefully, and blinked its round eyes: "Master..."

"Your face looks so ordinary."

Yu Luoning punched it on the head: "That's how it should be. Ordinary and low-key, understand?"

The mouse muttered sullenly, "...I liked your original face."

Yu Luoning chuckled but didn't reply.

She pushed open the door and walked towards the flying boat ferry.

As soon as I stepped out, I bumped into the auntie from the next courtyard.

The aunt looked at him with surprise, and saw the cultivator close the courtyard gate with great familiarity, as if it were his own home.

She was shocked. Luo Ning's cousin was handsome and dashing, a real heartthrob, while the middle-aged man in front of her had an extremely ordinary face.

Surely Miss Luo Ning wouldn't be so blind.

Yu Luoning was completely unaware of her neighbor's wild speculations.

They sped off in a few quick steps and disappeared from sight in the distance.

The flying boat took off from the ferry and soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds.

There were about a hundred cultivators on the boat, who were chatting in small groups.

Yu Luoning chose a corner seat, lowered her head, and closed her eyes to rest.

I was bored the whole way.

During the journey, the airship made three stops. After the last stop, Yu Luoning opened her eyes, got up, and disembarked.

Six or seven other people disembarked with her.

The group landed in twos and threes, and soon dispersed into the mountains and forests.

Yu Luoning stood there for a moment, and only after everyone had disappeared from sight did she slowly walk into the mountain.

The forest was deeper than she had imagined.

There were still a few traces of people at the entrance, but after walking only two miles, all that remained were endless ancient trees and mountain mist.

Yu Luoning released a wisp of her divine sense to connect with the rat inside the spatial jade bracelet.

"Mouse, help me search for traces of the Crimson Flame Golden-Eyed Tiger."

"Okay!"

The mouse's perception range is very large, covering almost half of the mountain forest.

In no time, it pointed Yu Luoning in a direction.

Yu Luoning lightly touched the treetops with her toes and sped through the forest.

Suddenly, the mouse called out to her, "Master, I sense that there are many people ahead, about two or three miles away from you."

Yu Luoning felt a slight pause in her heart, and even slowed down her pace.

"You mean a large number of people?"

"Yes, and their cultivation levels are not low. I even sensed a very abundant spiritual energy. They must have encountered some kind of heavenly treasure or other extraordinary opportunity."

Yu Luoning's face remained expressionless, but her mind was restless uncontrollably; no one can resist an opportunity.

But there are a large number of people?

Yu Luoning gritted her teeth and decided to go after her big tiger first.

Prioritize stability; don't miss out on opportunities and end up as cannon fodder.

The Crimson-Eyed Tiger is a lone wolf, its movements shrouded in mystery.

Following the directions, Yu Luoning finally found a few clumps of tiger fur in a mountain hollow.

This guy was really strange. As soon as he saw Yu Luoning, he suddenly turned his huge head around and ran wildly into the depths of the valley without looking back.

Yu Luoning chased after him desperately, and most of the initial apprehension in her heart dissipated, while her confidence swelled instantly.

If you're cowardly before the battle even begins, what is there to fear?

Halfway through the chase, the tiger suddenly braked, turned around, and growled at Yu Luoning.

That's right, it wasn't a tiger's roar, it was a soft "ying~".

Yu Luoning was stunned, and even began to question the meaning of life.

Hello, is this 110?

I want to report that there's a tiger acting cute here.
