Chapter 275: Twin Junior Sisters

"I can refine Spirit Gathering Pills? How did Junior Sister come to know this?"

Shen Xuan’s face showed a look of surprise.

In the past six months, aside from his cultivation, he has been reading ancient texts, gathering intelligence, and investigating the situation of the sect’s higher-ups and fellow disciples of the same line.

Qin Yuehan was right.

Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting, this pair of twin sisters, are not easy to provoke.

They came from the Wu Family, a prestigious family within the Cyan Cloud Sect.

In the past, their ancestors had produced a Golden Core True Master.

Nowadays, though the Wu Family has declined.

Their ancestor, however, is a Fake Pill Master, serving as the Immortal City Lord of Cloud Mist Immortal City.

The father of Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting is the direct great-grandson of Master Wu.

In his youth, he was charming and charismatic, drifting among a hundred flowers without a single leaf sticking.

Later, after sudden enlightenment, he returned home to cultivate diligently and smoothly entered Foundation Establishment.

He became Dao companions with the direct descendant of another sect family, living harmoniously together.

Who would have thought, one spring, a pair of beautiful twin girls appeared at the door, claiming to be his biological daughters, come to acknowledge their ancestry.

Such things were common in families, and initially considered normal.

The Wu Family didn’t take much notice.

Adding a pair of chopsticks was no big issue.

What they never expected was.

When testing their bloodline, these girls turned out to have Celestial Spirit Roots!

A pair of definite genius girls!

This event shocked Master Wu.

After personally verifying their bloodline and aptitude, he decided to take both girls under his wing.

They offered incense to the ancestors and added them to the Wu family genealogy.

Master Wu took them in and personally guided their cultivation.

The girls lived up to the Wu family’s expectations, showcasing their cultivation talent and quickly advancing to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

The Wu Family continuously invested resources; reaching Foundation Establishment was a certainty.

However, as they grew older, the true nature of Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting gradually surfaced.

Growing up in places like the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, they became extremely wayward.

Tricks like deceit and swindling came as second nature to them.

Such as identity swapping, cheating people’s money, and playing with emotions frequently occurred.

In Cloud Mist Immortal City, the Wu sisters became local tyrants.

The small and medium families and cultivation clans in the area suffered bitterly.

The good reputation of the Wu Family was almost completely ruined by them.

Having no other choice, Master Wu shamelessly sent them to be disciplined under Master Gu Feng.

Hoping Master Gu Feng would help to educate them.

At the same time, using the Spirit Vein of Little Gu Feng to help them solidify their Dao Foundation.

Nowadays.

Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting have successfully reached Foundation Establishment.

Having just consolidated their realm, they heard a new Senior Brother had arrived at Little Gu Feng.

Previously, due to the strict rules of the Cyan Cloud Sect and Little Gu Feng being full of untouchable elder sisters, they had been calm for a while.

Shen Xuan, the newly arrived Third Senior Brother, became a plump target in their eyes.

"Why would Senior Brother hide it from Xueting!"

"Lv Zhengying is Senior Brother’s classmate, isn’t he? He’s buying Spirit Pill materials outside and selling Spirit Gathering Pills."

"Who else but Senior Brother would have such skills!"

Wu Xueting thrust her chest forward, speaking confidently.

"Spirit Gathering Pills? Those are Tier Two Spirit Pills. Senior Brother lacks such ability."

Shen Xuan smiled faintly and spoke softly.

Li Ruyi crafted Spirit Gathering Pills primarily for practice.

Currently, her soul body is insubstantial and her soul power unstable.

The Pill Success Rate of Spirit Gathering Pills barely met thirty percent, offering meager profits.

Li Ruyi is presently focusing on two tasks.

One is to practice diligently to enhance strength and solidify her soul body.

The other is to refine Tier Two Spirit Pills to gradually recover her Tier Two Upper Grade Pill Master level.

This Wu Xueting, plotting on him already.

He knows about these sisters. On their first meeting with Gu Jinqin and Qin Yuehan, they borrowed a lot of Spirit Stones.

And had no intention of returning them.

They borrowed them in Wu Yuting’s name.

Their appearances, cultivation techniques, and clothing were exactly the same.

Gu Jinqin and Qin Yuehan couldn’t tell them apart.

Each time they met one of them, she claimed to be Wu Xueting.

Even the Identity Jade Pendants were identical.

Gu Jinqin and Qin Yuehan were at a loss with them.

As elder sisters, they couldn’t possibly wrong their junior sisters.

The borrowed Spirit Stones remained unpaid.

"Senior Brother? How can you be like this?"

"Blatantly deceiving Junior Sister!"

Wu Xueting’s charming eyes widened in disbelief.

"Senior Brother truly cannot refine pills."

"Perhaps Junior Brother Lv has other means. Why not ask him?"

Shen Xuan replied calmly.

Looking at the refined and serene Shen Xuan before her, Wu Xueting paused.

She never expected someone would lie more composedly than she could.

Wu Xueting could not help but ask, "Senior Brother truly can’t refine pills?"

"Truly not. Is Junior Sister intending to have Senior Brother make a Heavenly Dao oath?"

"Junior Sister trusts Senior Brother!"

Wu Xueting chuckled, her smile radiant and enchanting.

A thick sense of youthful energy emanated from her form.

"Ah! Junior Sister knows a Spirit Medicine Clan that can supply materials, two to three tenths cheaper than market price!"

"I thought I could save Senior Brother a large sum on Spirit Pill materials Spirit Stones."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

This simplistic fraud tactic, he certainly wouldn’t expose on the spot.

"Senior Brother, this Cave Mansion is really big! Can I stay here for a while?"

Wu Xueting appeared to be just over thirty.

Among Foundation Establishment cultivators, she was considered quite young.

Her words and actions resembled those of an unworldly pure young girl.

"No!"

Shen Xuan firmly refused.

"Senior Brother is about to enter seclusion for deep cultivation, it’s not convenient to entertain Junior Sister."

"It’s fine. I don’t need Senior Brother’s care."

"But I’m afraid Junior Sister might affect my breakthrough!"

Shen Xuan’s tone was resolute.

Wu Xueting bit her lip, her lively eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Shen Xuan, appearing so aggrieved it seemed she was about to cry.

It wasn’t a Charm Technique.

Yet its effect surpassed that of a Charm Technique.

If it were an ordinary cultivator facing the pitiful Wu Xueting, it would be hard not to soften.

The daughter of a prestigious family, with a beauty rivaling that of a national grace, her eyes tender and gentle like water.

"Senior Brother must cultivate. Junior Sister, please leave!"

Shen Xuan rose with a flick of his sleeve.

"Xue’Er, see the guest out!"

Shen Xuan walked straight out of the reception hall.

Wu Xueting gazed blankly at Shen Xuan’s disappearing figure, her eyes filled with confusion.

It was the first time she’d met such a distinct character among cultivators.

...

Outside Shuiyue Residence.

Wu Xueting walked ten miles away.

A girl who looked very similar approached.

"Sister, did you manage to deceive him?"

"No! This Senior Brother Shen is so strange!"

Wu Xueting briefly recounted what had just happened.

"Could it be, the Spirit Gathering Pill wasn’t really refined by him?"

"No, he definitely refined it!"

Wu Yuting said, "Lv Zhengying only has this powerful friend, Senior Brother Shen."

"He bought materials and sent them into Senior Brother Shen’s cave mansion, and then the Spirit Gathering Pills were available for sale!"

"What should we do? Senior Brother Shen is hard to deal with."

Wu Xueting took out a copper mirror, seeing a familiar, peerlessly beautiful face, she couldn’t help but sigh.

"Senior Brother Shen remained calm and composed; seeing a rare beauty like me, his heart didn’t even skip a beat."

"How about, should we just find someone else?"

"No way!"

Wu Xueting’s eyes sparkled.

"Sister, you don’t know, Senior Brother Shen is really wealthy!"

"His cave mansion is four or five times larger than Moon Cold Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuting’s fighting spirit was ablaze.

"I’ll go and see tomorrow."

"I just don’t believe that Senior Brother Shen can remain unmoved!"

The next day.

Inside Shuiyue Residence.

Shen Xuan looked rather troubled at the sight of Wu Yuting before him.

"Wu Xueting greets Senior Brother Shen."

This time, Wu Yuting wore a cool immortal skirt.

Her skin was fairer than snow, soft and flawless.

The semi-transparent gauze outlined her graceful figure, showcasing her beauty to the fullest.

"Are you Wu Xueting?"

Shen Xuan shook his head, "No, you’re not the one from yesterday. You must be Wu Yuting?"

This time, Wu Yuting was genuinely surprised.

"Senior Brother can tell us apart?"

It was the first time she had been distinguished so instantly.

"Junior Sister, what’s going on with you two?"

"Senior Brother, first tell me, how could you tell us apart?"

Wu Yuting playfully asked with a smile.

"That’s my secret, I can’t tell you."

Of course, Shen Xuan could tell them apart.

The Insight Technique relies on collecting minute scent particles to ascertain information.

Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting are twin sisters, extremely similar in appearance, cultivation techniques, and attire.

However, the faint body fragrance they exude has a slightly different scent.

After using the Insight Technique, Shen Xuan could immediately tell them apart.

Moreover, Shen Xuan also confirmed using Sharp-eyed Observation.

The one today has a slightly larger size at the peak.

This point, with his extensive experience, he’d never mistake.

"Senior Brother, there’s a Lantern Festival in a few days, will you go to watch the lanterns?"

Wu Yuting fiddled with her dress hem, looking like a little girl.

"Junior Sister, I need to seclude myself for cultivation, I’m not going."

"If there’s anything, just say it directly."

Wu Yuting’s expression changed immediately.

"Senior Brother, my sister and I just established our Dao Foundation and plan to hold a Foundation Establishment ceremony. Do you have time to attend?"

Shen Xuan shook his head, "I don’t have time to attend."

"If you can’t come, what about a congratulatory gift?"

Shen Xuan sighed.

After all that talk, they were still trying to scrounge some Spirit Stones from him.

"Don’t worry. For the Foundation Establishment ceremony, I will definitely send a congratulatory gift."

"That’s two gifts!"

"Two gifts."

"They shouldn’t be less than what the senior sisters give!"

Wu Yuting pouted.

"You’re the Senior Brother! If it’s less than the senior sisters’, it would harm your reputation!"

"Alright. It won’t be less than Third Junior Sister and Fourth Junior Sister’s gifts!"

Wu Yuting had nothing more to say.

Her eyes wandered, examining the layout of Shuiyue Residence.

"Senior Brother, your cave mansion is so big! My place is so cramped and small."

"Can Junior Sister stay here for a few days?"

Shen Xuan was truly curious.

Why were the Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting sisters both eager to stay at Shuiyue Residence?

He didn’t flatter himself to the point of thinking the sisters fancied an old codger like him.

"No!"

"Junior Sister is too beautiful. Staying here would unsettle my Dao Heart."

Shen Xuan declared righteously.

"Junior Sister, it’s getting late. I need to cultivate, please return."

Unwilling to leave, Wu Yuting departed from Shuiyue Residence.

Beside her, Su Xue’Er said, "Husband, your two Junior Sisters seem very troublesome."

"A pair of troublemakers. In the future, if they come again, say I’m in seclusion. Do not let them into Shuiyue Residence."

"Okay, husband."

...

Wu Yuting left Shuiyue Residence and quickly reunited with her sister Wu Xueting.

"How did it go?"

"This Senior Brother Shen is hard to deal with. He could recognize us."

"So impressive?"

Wu Xueting found it unbelievable.

The two of them often swapped identities.

Aside from Master Wu, even their biological father couldn’t tell them apart.

"Do you know how he managed it?"

"I don’t know. He wouldn’t say."

The sisters exchanged glances, noticing the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Swapping identities was their usual tactic for evading debts.

Wu Yuting was the one who borrowed Spirit Stones.

The creditor always caught Wu Xueting.

As for whether it was Wu Xueting or Wu Yuting.

No one in the Foundation Establishment Realm could tell them apart.

"No way. This Senior Brother is too formidable, let’s not provoke him for now."

Wu Xueting pondered, "Within Cyan Cloud Sect, there’s a little group that runs gambling, calling themselves the Purple Qi Alliance."

"The alliance hierarch is Xu Shaopeng, a descendant of Master Purple Qi. They say he makes considerable Spirit Stones by setting gambling odds using insider information."

"Great! Sister, let’s find Xu Shaopeng from the Purple Qi Alliance!"

At this moment, Shen Xuan was unaware.

These twin Junior Sisters, thwarted by him, planned to target the direct descendant of Master Purple Qi.

Eventually, the mess created by these twin Junior Sisters was something he’d have to clean up.
