I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

"You…" Lu Luqiang was so shocked that she did not know what to say for a moment.

After looking at each other for a moment, a thought surfaced in her mind. He fought someone above his level and made me suffer a small loss in less than three moves. With such talent, he is indeed worthy of Junior Sister Jin's attention. Is this guy really Junior Sister Jin's close friend?

"Senior Sister, please leave for the time being," Pei Ling said in a low voice. "Don't disturb me and Su Mian."

When did Sister Jin get together with this guy?

Damn it!

She had known Junior Sister Jin for so long. Even if she knew about this, it was not as if she was unwilling to help cover up for her in front of Shao Ningzhi. Is there a need to be so surreptitious?

Or does Junior Sister Jin not treat me as a good sister?

Lu Luqiang was angry and aggrieved. Her expression darkened for a moment before she suddenly flicked her sleeve, threw down her nameplate, and left feeling resentful.

Pei Ling secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, Lu Luqiang had only turned around and taken two steps when she suddenly stopped. She turned around and said to him, "Then can Junior Sister Jin still participate in the mission at the Han Manor?"

Han Manor?

This place seems familiar… Pei Ling thought quickly and quickly remembered. He had learned about this mission after he killed Miao Cheng'an and the others and went to the Miscellaneous Committee to look for a mission to slip out of the sect.

The remuneration of 800 inferior-grade Spirit Stones simply stood out from the other missions that paid a pittance.

Therefore, he still remembered that the mission was to investigate the truth behind the sudden death of the entire Han clan. It was only limited to disciples above the sixth level of Qi Refinement. The deadline was one month… Calculating the time, a month seemed to have passed. Could it be that someone took up the mission after that?

Or is there something wrong with this mission?

"She's not feeling well these two days. She won't be going." Pei Ling was puzzled, but he did not show it on his face. Jin Sumian was breathing her last breath. How could she participate in a mission?

"Won't be going?" Lu Luqiang's pupils constricted as she looked at Pei Ling sharply with a puzzled expression. "The Han Manor has the Foundation Establishment Pill formula and the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill that Junior Sister Jin wants. It's impossible for her not to go!

Besides, I've already promised Senior Brother Zhang Shuo. If Junior Sister Jin doesn't go, how am I going to answer to Senior Brother Zhang Shuo?"

Pei Ling's heart sank. He thought that he had already gotten away with it, but he did not expect Jin Sumian to have agreed to participate in the mission.

He had no time to think too much about the current situation. He could only go all the way and say bluntly, "You don't have to worry about that. I'll go on behalf of Sumian. If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Lu Luqiang stared at him and said aggressively, "You're going? If you go, can you agree on behalf of Junior Sister Jin if Senior Brother Zhang Shuo wants two Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"Of course." Pei Ling said firmly, "Based on my relationship with Sumian, this is a small matter."

"Alright." Lu Luqiang saw that he was taking it for granted that he would make the decision on behalf of Jin Sumian and felt rather depressed. She pondered for a moment and said, "I'll explain the situation to Senior Brother Zhang Shuo. If he agrees, I'll look for you tomorrow."

With that, she flicked her sleeves and left.

After she had left for a while, Pei Ling hurriedly disguised himself and left the cave abode.

Fortunately, he did not meet anyone else this time.

After a while, he returned from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and immediately took out a light green pill the size of a pigeon egg. This was a Resurrection Pill. According to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's pill appraiser, it was specially used for cultivation problems, backlash, and other situations.

Pei Ling opened Jin Sumian's cherry mouth and forcefully stuffed the Resurrection Pill into it.

Then he poured out two crimson pills. The surface was covered with densely packed tiny ghost faces. The Hundred Treasures Pavilion said that these pills were called Ghost Flame Pills, and they could be consumed or applied externally.

However, internal consumption required some fire-element cultivation techniques. Otherwise, the lungs might get burned easily. External application was to expel the cold.

After Pei Ling crushed them, he carefully applied the powder to Jin Sumian's forehead, throat, lower abdomen, and other areas. As soon as the powder was scattered, a layer of mist-like coldness slowly spread out.

After some work, Pei Ling observed carefully and realized that although Jin Sumian's breathing was still weak, at least it was not as intermittent as before. It was obvious that she had improved a lot. He heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that her life is not in danger, he thought. I have to find Senior Brother Zheng quickly.

After taking Jin Sumian's nameplate, Pei Ling left the cave abode and immediately rented a Corpse Cloud to head to the inner sect.

However, when he arrived at the small courtyard of Kulan, he was told by the puppet guarding the door, "The Branch Master has left the sect and won't be back anytime soon."

"…" Pei Ling was speechless.

He did not give up and asked, "I have something urgent. Can you invite Senior Brother Zheng back first? He shouldn't have gone far."

The puppet said, "The Branch Master has left the sect and won't be back for a while."

Pei Ling spat out a mouthful of blood and asked, "Then may I know where Senior Sister Ouyang Xianxing is? I want to visit her."

The puppet continued, "The Branch Master has left the sect and won't be back anytime soon."

"System, come out and see your retarded younger brother," Pei Ling thought angrily.

System: "Ding-Dong!" the system said robotically. "The Smart Cultivation System is at your service! Enjoy one-click management and smart upgrades! Automatic cultivation. End any accidents. No worries about mental demons. Fulfill your dream of ascension!"

Pei Ling said, "F*ck."

He could only return to Jin Sumian's cave abode.

The quality of the pills that this senior sister left in the cave abode was very good. During this period of time, her condition had stabilized a lot, and some color had returned to her face.

What should I do? Pei Ling looked at her and thought to himself. He had snatched this senior sister's jade pill and occupied her Nine Nether Cold Spring Water. He had almost taken a bath with her and caused her to fail in body tempering. In the end, she almost died… It was obvious that once Jin Sumian woke up, she would not let the matter rest.

Without a backer like Zheng Jingshan to mediate, there was no way to resolve this matter.

After all, if someone snatched the jade pill that he had painstakingly refined, and then… There was no then, this person must die!

After some consideration, Pei Ling opened a jade bottle and carefully poured out a thumb-sized black pill.

This pill emitted a bitter fragrance, but after smelling it, he felt his mind clear up.

Soul Calming Pill… Pei Ling sized it up a few times and thought to himself, According to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, this pill is good at calming the mind and nourishing the soul. The user will sleep for an entire month. In their sleep, it nourishes the soul and nourishes the spirit… It's one of the necessary pills for alchemists and one of the most precious pills in the Qi Refinement realm.

Even Senior Sister Jin has only four.

I'll let her take one first. Tomorrow, I'll replace her in the mission at the Han family's mountain villa.

It would be best if Senior Brother Zheng returns by the time the mission is completed.

If Senior Brother Zheng is still outside, I'll feed Senior Sister Jin another pill.

I believe that the time it takes for two Soul Calming Pills to work is enough for Senior Brother Zheng to return and take charge of the situation for me.

At the thought of this, Pei Ling secretly rejoiced that he had found Zheng Jingshan.

Otherwise, he would be dead meat this time.
