I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 26

Chapter 25: The Most Vicious Woman’s Heart

When the disciple saw that someone was coming, his initially warm smile disappeared. When he took a closer look at his cultivation level, his expression turned cold. “What are you, a mere cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refinement, doing here? Get lost, don’t delay my business.”

“Senior Brother…” Pei Ling wanted to continue asking, but the disciple had already plastered a smile on his face and walked past him. He welcomed a disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refinement behind Pei Ling and said enthusiastically,” Junior Brother…”

Pei Ling: “…”

He frowned and quickly went on to the next person. “Senior Sister…”

“Junior Brother. Are you looking for a team?” The female disciple was not far away and had seen everything that had happened earlier. She spuriously smiled when she heard him. “It’s just that your cultivation level is really too low. Bringing you out of the sect is a troublesome matter…”

Pei Ling thought there was still hope as he immediately perked up. “Senior Sister, then how about…”

Before he could finish, his entire body froze. He watched helplessly as the stocky build senior sister reached out her hand and pinched his waist as if no one was around, then reached into his clothes unceremoniously.

F*ck!

Pei Ling instantly retreated 30 feet away. “I’m sorry, Senior Sister. You’re right. My cultivation is too low, and I’m not fit to join your team!”

With that, he ran off, afraid that she would continue to pursue him.

After learning from his lesson, Pei Ling did not dare to speak to the female disciples again. He observed the crowd for a while before walking towards an older male disciple. “Senior Brother, I…”

“You are at the fourth level of Qi Refinement. And you want to join a team for a mission outside the sect?” The male disciple sized him up. He did not chase him away, nor did he touch him. Pei Ling heaved a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand and said casually, “If you want me to bring you back and forth, and it doesn’t matter if you’re dead or alive, I’ll charge 20 low-grade spirit stones per trip! If you want me to do my best to take care of your safety, I’ll charge 40 low-grade spirit stones per trip, and I’ll give you 50% of the mission’s reward! If you want the entire team revolving around you…”

Pei Ling took a deep breath. “…Sorry to disturb you.”

He left before letting that male disciple finish.

Whatever kind of sect rules they have makes the kind of disciples they have! Each of them was asking for more money than the others!

If I had that many spirit stones, why would I need to humble myself before you guys?

The furious Pei Ling did not notice that someone not far away was staring at him for a while. Suddenly, that person turned around and quickly left the Miscellaneous Committee. He familiarly ran to a courtyard with many flowers planted and a small pond in front of the door. “Senior Sister Sun, I saw Pei Ling at the Miscellaneous Committee earlier. Guess what he’s doing? He’s actually looking for a team to complete a mission outside the sect! Haha! Shouldn’t he take a look at his cultivation level? Now that everyone has rejected him, should we go over and teach him a lesson?”

Sun Yinglan was in the middle of her cultivation and was displeased when she got disturbed. Hearing what happened, her eyes instantly brightened up.

She had been in the outer sect for many years. With her looks and schemes, she had never been disadvantaged. Though no one had ever dared to treat her like Pei Ling did.

After what happened yesterday, even though Pei Hongnian bowed down to her and swore an oath, Sun Yinglan’s anger did not subside. She secretly vowed to take revenge on Pei Ling.

Upon hearing this, she was about to agree. However, after some thought, she suddenly said, “Are you sure that Pei Ling is looking for a team? And he wants to accept a mission happening outside the sect?”

“Of course, Senior Sister!” The person hurriedly said, “I heard it loud and clear among the crowd! This Pei Ling seems to be a person with great ambition but little talent. Does he even understand why those missions required disciples at the sixth level of Qi Refinement? I guess he got too used to bossing around in a small place like the Pei family that he doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth after coming to the Holy Sect…”

“In that case, I’ll help him!” Sun Yinglan interrupted him with a cold smile and instructed, “Zhao Yan, you go to Senior Brother Chen Huan right now. Tell him that I’ve helped him find the last blood sacrifice material for the Soul Summoning Banner. Pei Ling’s talent isn’t inferior to Pei Hongnian’s, and he’s even younger with plenty of Qi and blood, a perfect material for his refinement.”

The messenger, Zhao Yan, was startled for a moment before he jealously said, “Pei Ling actually has better talent? Is Pei Hongnian stupid? He can’t even suppress such a junior brother, and he brought him into the Holy Sect.”

“Idiot!” Sun Yinglan glared at him and said with a cold smile, “Although Pei Hongnian relied on his talent in drawing talismans to get along with inner sect faction master Senior Brother Zheng. With his fish brain, how much dignity did he have in front of Senior Brother Zheng? For him to make an exception and bring Pei Ling along, it must be because Pei Ling has something special. If Pei Ling can achieve something here, as the Pei family’s eldest son, how can Pei Hongnian not benefit from it? Tell my speculation to Senior Brother Chen, and he will make his own decision.”

Seeing that Zhao Yan was still hesitant, she could not help but stomp her feet and urge, “Hurry up and go! What if Pei Ling keeps getting rejected and gives up?”

“Oh… oh… yes!” Zhao Yan was startled and hurriedly replied, “I’ll go look for Senior Brother Chen now.”

Not long after, in front of a few connected bamboo buildings, a fair-skinned male cultivator with a feminine disposition raised his brows slightly: “Pei Ling? What background does he have? I don’t think I’ve heard of such a person before at Shady Sophora Peak?”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother Chen. Pei Ling was brought here by that trash, Pei Hongnian, from the Pei family,” Zhao Yan quickly said. “He’s Pei Hongnian’s cousin. It’s just that his talent is outstanding, and Pei Hongnian spoke on behalf of the family to plead to Senior Brother Zheng and bring him into the sect.”

Chen Huan was a cautious person. Although he did plot and kill many fellow disciples to obtain materials to increase the power of his Soul Summoning Banner, he never provoked people he could not afford to offend.

He remained noncommittal and said, “Senior Brother Zheng is a proud person. People said that he left the sect this time along with Fairy Li. I wonder if Pei Ling has the fortune to travel with these two people and left a certain impression on them?”

Not to mention Fairy Li, just Zheng Jingshan’s status and strength was not something worth for Chen Huan to offend just for Pei Ling.

Anyway, there were so many outer sect disciples that he could use as material.

“You’re overthinking, Senior Brother. Senior Sister Sun has already asked Pei Hongnian.” Zhao Yan knew that Sun Yinglan was bent on killing Pei Ling and that it would be better to make him suffer before dying. At that moment, he said, “Pei Ling is quite lucky. At that time, Fairy Li successfully obtained Elder Luo’s Nascent Soul Formation technique and was in a good mood. Senior Brother Zheng must be happy as well… Pei Hongnian went up to ask for their help on the spur of the moment, and they conveniently agreed.”

“However, neither Fairy Li nor Senior Brother Zheng appeared on the deck when the Dark Bone Phantom Ship landed on the Dust Severing Square.

“Clearly, they don’t care about these two brothers at all.”

“Otherwise, why would Senior Sister Sun recommend you for this? Why would Senior Sister Sun want to offend Senior Brother Zheng and Fairy Li?”

Chen Huan thought for a moment, and his brows relaxed gradually. He nodded and said, “In that case, I owe Junior Sister Sun a favor.”

With that, he instructed a female cultivator who looked a little like him. “Come with me to the Miscellaneous Council.”

Meanwhile, at this moment, Pei Ling was lowering his head and silently wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

He had just heard someone mention Li Siguang and the other two!
