Chapter 227: Li Lians Plan (1/2)
In the core court of the Black Paradise sect, there was a special training place where Core Court disciples would go to practice their [ Illusory Clone ] technique.
There, Xun Wei was alone and cross-legged in the center of the room. Across from her were two illusory clones and it seemed as if she was trying to make a third. However, every time she got close it would just break apart and disappear.
She had lost count how many times she had failed, but she never gave up because the reward for success was just too great to pass up.

”Xun Wei, it looks like you could use a training partner,” someone suddenly said.
When Xun Wei opened her eyes, she saw a stunningly beautiful girl wearing bright red robes, sexy thin red lips, a gorgeous pearl necklace, and 2 diamond earrings. Her eyes were as green as emerald, and her hair was as red as the setting sun. Even without her makeup on, she would still be the most beautiful girl in any room she walked in. She was Xun Wei's good friend Li Lian.
”Did you miss me?” Li Lian said with a warm smile on her face.
”Li Lian, it's you. Where have you been?”
”The Matriarch allowed me to go back home to visit my family. I only returned a few days ago.”
Xun Wei looked up and down Li Lian's body then became surprised by what she was wearing.
”You look... different,” Xun Wei said.
”You think I look too girly, don't you.”
”Expensive, was the word I was thinking of.”
Li Lian sighed.
”The Matriarch enjoys dressing me up like a doll rather than training me. I had to practically beg her to teach me a technique.”
”You learned a technique? What's it called?” Xiao Hei asked.
”[ Clone Reanimation ].”
Xun Wei never heard of the technique, so Li Lian gave her a quick demonstration.
”Wow! How long did it take you to learn it?”
”A little more than a week,” she rubbed her nose wittingly. ”How about you? Has Elder Yao Wu taught you anything yet?”
”A bit, but nothing similar to the technique you just showed me. Elder Yao Wu has only been going over the basics with me, but I already learned a lot of it from Xiao Fang,” Xun Wei said.
Hearing Xiao Fang's name made Li Lian react in a peculiar way.
”Speaking about Xiao Fang, have you gone to see him yet?” Li Lian asked.
Xun Wei shook her head, ”No, I haven't.”
”Why not?”
”I was told Core Court disciples weren't allowed into the Inner Court. However, Elder Yao Wu told me that she'd give me permission if I could make a 3rd [ Illusory Clone ].”
”3rd? Have you already reached the 1st stage of the [ Illusory Body ] Spirit Refinement realm?” Li Lian asked.
”No, not yet. Why do you ask?”
Li Lian suddenly created 2 [ Illusory Clones ].
”I only recently learned how to make a 2nd [ Illusory Clone ]. I was going to start practicing to make a 3rd, but then I was told that it would be extremely difficult to do that before reaching the [ Illusory Body ] Spirit Refinement realm.”
Xun Wei was quiet for a moment then shook her head helplessly.
”I should've known it wasn't going to be easy,” Xun Wei sighed before sitting back down.
Li Lian was confused by her reaction then asked,
