448: Chapter 448 The Sneaky Gang is Formed

The twin star mirror advanced again! Gorgeous special effects danced and flashed within the Sea of Consciousness.

Such effects left Yao Yian feeling agitated and restless, his breathing involuntarily quickening.

The grade of the twin star mirror was already incomparably high; its previous advancement had brought him a second function: releasing Chaos evil Qi.

Although this second function was somewhat lackluster and rarely came in handy on a daily basis.

But this time, another Breakthrough would inevitably bring about a brand-new function.

As the light flowed, the strange changes in the twin star mirror gradually subsided.

The next moment, a figure materialized from the precious light.

It was a young girl with exquisite features and lively, spirited eyes.

She wore a golden-red gown, her figure slender and unimaginably beautiful, her entire being permeated with an indescribable sense of holiness.

"Are you… Little ancestor?"

The twin star mirror's artifact spirit couldn't help but chuckle, her voice crisp and melodious.

"What? You aren't convinced?"

She raised her fair hand slightly, and the twin star mirror appeared out of thin air in her palm.

After calming down slightly, Yao Yian couldn't wait to start asking what function the other party had awakened.

The twin star mirror's artifact spirit cast him a reproachful look. How could this guy only have functions on his mind? He didn't even know how to flatter a great beauty like her who was standing right here.

"Stop, stop. From now on, don't call this Young Miss any 'ancestor' or whatever; it sounds terrible!"

"You must call this Young Miss by her name—twin star mirror!"

After this small interlude, the twin star mirror began to grandly introduce her third function—Artifact Spirit Guidance.

Whether it was techniques for attacking and defeating enemies, methods for high-speed escape, or even the hundred arts of cultivation such as Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman making, and Formation, she was proficient in them all.

As long as the twin star mirror was fed enough cultivation resources, one could receive detailed, hands-on guidance and face-to-face instruction from the twin star mirror's artifact spirit.

Regarding this, Yao Yian was half-skeptical.

Looking at the twin star mirror, who had just obtained a physical body and was curiously touching and looking around in the Sea of Consciousness, he always felt that her guidance might not be very reliable.

Would she teach him the wrong way?

The twin star mirror was incredibly sharp; she saw through the doubt in his eyes at a glance and was immediately furious.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on this Young Miss?!"

"Hmph, this Young Miss is happy to have taken human form, so today I will generously gift you a free chance for guidance to let you see how amazing this Young Miss is!"

Yao Yian immediately took out a set of Divided Soul Realm fist techniques gifted by the Old Ancestor of the Wu Family and gave them to her.

As for Cultivation Techniques, the twin star mirror's artifact spirit naturally wouldn't know them.

However, for Li Jinian, who was behind her, it was simply too easy.

Billions of trillions of miles away in the Void Realm, Li Jinian channeled the heavenly dao origin, and a strand of formless power crossed space, instantly analyzing and deducing this fist technique to Perfection.

The next moment, the twin star mirror's artifact spirit transformed into a master teacher, breaking down, demonstrating, and pointing out the nuances of the technique to Yao Yian within the space of his Sea of Consciousness.

Time flowed quietly, though only three months had passed in the outside world.

In the Sea of Consciousness, however, Yao Yian felt as if he had experienced thirty years of bitter cultivation.

By the time the guidance ended, Yao Yian had steadily mastered this set of Divided Soul Realm fist techniques to the Minor Achievement Realm.

Clenching his fist, an extremely tyrannical wave of energy instantly gathered on his hand.

"Incredible."

Yao Yian sighed softly, his eyes filled with shock, and there was no longer a shred of doubt in his heart.

This Artifact Spirit Guidance function was simply Heaven-Defying; it would certainly save him an immeasurable amount of cultivation time in the future!!!

...

In reality, inside the cultivation secret room of the Luoxie City Lord's Mansion.

Yao Yian woke up from meditation; his cultivation was now fully consolidated, and his aura was incomparably solid.

Subsequently, the space beside him fluctuated slightly.

The twin star mirror appeared, her golden-red dress elegant and flowing, looking no different from an ordinary beautiful female Cultivator, except that her cultivation had reached the Soul Emergence Realm.

"Phew, this Young Miss can finally come out of your Sea of Consciousness."

The twin star mirror raised her eyebrows and smiled, her eyes full of curiosity about everything around her, her gaze constantly scanning the secret room.

Yao Yian suggested they go see the scenery in the city, and the twin star mirror was clearly quite interested in his suggestion.

With a flash of their figures, when the two appeared again, they were in a small alley in the city.

The two concealed their auras to the Late Stage of the Silent Spirit Realm and walked out of the alley side by side.

As long as one wasn't a reckless fool, who would dare to cause trouble for two people with such cultivation?

The streets of Luoxie City were crowded with Cultivators and Mortals, and the sounds of peddling rose one after another amidst the bustling traffic.

The twin star mirror looked around curiously, occasionally stopping to examine the street vendors or softly asking about novel things.

Yao Yian walked slowly beside her, occasionally whispering to explain everything to the twin star mirror, making the journey leisurely and having a charm of its own.

Luoxie City was indeed worthy of being a major city in the eastern part of the Jiangran Heavenly Domain, with orderly governance and over a hundred huge flags with the character 'He' (Harmony) fluttering in the wind.

The public security here was unbelievably good; those who didn't know better might think this was some world of the Righteous Path.

While strolling, Yao Yian was savoring the exquisiteness of that fist technique.

The function was good, but it was too expensive in terms of blood beads, otherwise, he could have directly studied all his Cultivation Techniques to Major Achievement before going out.

At this moment, the twin star mirror beside him suddenly chuckled.

"Youngster, are you lacking cultivation resources?"

"This Young Miss has a way to get rich."

"You only need to move your precious little hands, and cultivation resources will roll in."

Yao Yian felt his heart tighten at the twin star mirror's cunning smile, and he subconsciously took a half-step back.

"Ouch, you… what are you doing~"

"I am a Righteous Path Cultivator; I don't do those kinds of petty, thieving dealings."

The twin star mirror put her hands on her hips and tapped his forehead with her fair finger, saying sharply.

"Hmph, what do you mean by petty, thieving dealings?"

"You said it yourself, this Luoxie City is a place where evil Cultivators gather; which of the major forces in the city has a clean background?"

"They either extort the lower-level Cultivators or engage in black-on-black dealings; we call this 'acting on behalf of heaven,' robbing the rich to help ourselves!"

"Do you understand?"

Her eyes turned, and she leaned closer to Yao Yian's ear, her voice sweet and full of seduction.

"Don't you lack blood beads, Spirit Stones, and Cultivation Techniques?"

"Just listen to this Young Miss, and I guarantee you'll get rich overnight; never mind mastering one Cultivation Technique, even mastering a hundred would be enough!"

Under the repeated cajoling.

Yao Yian swallowed hard; he was somewhat tempted.

Looking at the artifact spirit's confident appearance again, he ultimately couldn't resist the evil temptation and gritted his teeth, nodding.

"I can… but keep it quiet."

"Don't worry! This Young Miss has a very sharp eye!"

The petty thief duo was formed.

The twin star mirror patted her chest, pulled Yao Yian into a quiet corner, and a faint light flashed around them.

Yao Yian was very surprised; he didn't expect that besides the third function, the twin star mirror also had a small function for concealing their figures.

Night fell.

The first force.

This place was heavily guarded, with secret sentries everywhere, and even Nascent Soul Cultivators patrolling in person.

But under the concealment of the twin star mirror, these guards and Nascent Soul Cultivators couldn't perceive their arrival at all.

The twin star mirror was like she had opened a Heavenly Eye; she led Yao Yian directly to the enemy's treasure vault with great familiarity.

"Let's go! Next one!"

After succeeding, the twin star mirror dragged Yao Yian and began to shuttle through the night of Luoxie City.

The second force.

The two continued to enter as if there was no one there; the strongest of this force—a Late Nascent Soul Stage existence—was personally guarding the entrance to the treasure vault.

However, it was of no use.

The third force.

Calling it a force, strictly speaking, this was an auction house.

The treasure vault in the back of the auction house had countless rarities, and the twin star mirror directly devoured the protective Formation, sweeping away all the un-auctioned Magical Artifacts, Talismans, Medicinal Pills, and Materials inside.

The fourth, fifth, sixth... every medium to large force in Luoxie City with any wealth suffered tonight.

Except for the City Lord's Mansion and the stronghold of the Huiwei Wu Family.

The twin star mirror was like an experienced master thief, precisely locating every treasure vault, breaking the Formation, taking the treasure, and retreating, all in one go.

Yao Yian played a supporting role the whole time, at most using the core jade Talisman of the Luoxie City Formation to open the Formations.

Gradually, the treasures in the Sea of Consciousness space became more and more numerous; blood beads were piled into mountains, Magical Artifacts were everywhere, and various Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals were thrown around casually.

Yao Yian was completely stunned.

What is going on? Why is she so skilled at this!!!

...

"Achoo, achoo, achoo."

In a certain Great World, someone named Qin Dong was sneezing violently.

"What is going on? Who is cursing me?"
