Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 16: Going Out for Experience

Inside the secluded secret palace.

Qin Muling sat alone in silence. The venerable Hengyi had already left, reportedly returning to the Grotto-Heaven secret realm to sleep.

To see the venerable ancestor again, Qin Muling would have to grow to the level of the sect leader Mu Yinghua, only then would it be possible for him to solve the problem of the venerable ancestor's depleted lifespan.

On the table in front of him were three ancient seals surrounded by purple mist and enveloped in a clear aura. Each seal was the size of a human head. The material of the seals was neither gold nor jade, and the surface was covered with patterns resembling tree rings. However, upon closer inspection, they did not seem to be made of wood.

When Qin Muling's divine consciousness penetrated into the seals, the distant and ethereal sound of a phoenix's cry resonated in his soul. A scroll full of purple meaning slowly unfolded in his sea of consciousness. On it were countless ancient celestial characters that shone like gold and seemed solid. A ethereal and profound voice recited them word by word.

This was the sect's foundational scripture, the "Azure Falling Primordial Secret Scripture" of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, a well-known transcendent cultivation technique in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. In terms of its rank, it could even be ranked among the top few in the super sects.

Whether it was the tempering and strengthening of the physical body, the nourishment and growth of the divine soul, the stability of the Dao Foundation and the refinement of mana, this cultivation technique had no shortcomings. It belonged to the orthodox path of the great Dao.

Although the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had declined for thousands of years, this supreme cultivation technique, as the core and most important heritage of the super sect, had never been lost. Therefore, theoretically, there was still a possibility of revival. This was also the key reason why those hostile forces in the past were always so wary and tried their best to obstruct it.

Among the new generation of core disciples in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, there were no more than three hundred disciples who were qualified to observe and cultivate this foundational scripture. Among the dozen or so core disciples, only one person had such qualifications.

Moreover, this cultivation technique could perfectly integrate with all other Daoist methods, whether it was sword cultivation, magic cultivation, body cultivation, alchemy, formations, divination, talismans, or artifact refining, etc. It could be easily learned and mastered.

Qin Muling listened attentively to the profound sound of the Dao in his sea of consciousness. After three repetitions, he had memorized every word of this foundational scripture and imprinted it deep in his soul. Immediately, his organs, meridians, and blood began to circulate on their own, and he began to practice the introductory chapter.

Countless ancient and mysterious, indescribable Dao rhythms gathered from nothingness and quietly echoed in the depths of Qin Muling's soul, causing him to enter a deep state of enlightenment.

In his sea of consciousness, the mysterious seed slowly rotated, emitting a brighter light. Threads of faint purple spiritual light appeared from time to time, dancing in the air before falling like raindrops into Qin Muling's soul, disappearing without a trace.

A warm and moist feeling emerged from the depths of Qin Muling's soul. As the integrated union of these faint purple spiritual lights disappeared, he could clearly perceive that his soul's origin was gradually strengthening, and his physical body also became more perfect, both internally and externally.

As a massive amount of spiritual energy continuously poured into his body and was refined and purified by the mysterious seed, it transformed into a continuous stream of heat that merged into his soul and physical body.

The formation in the secret palace was already operating at full power, crazily extracting the spiritual veins underground in the Fengge Peak and continuously delivering more spiritual energy.

In a state of deep enlightenment, the not yet fully digested Xuanqing Creation True Spirit Pill also reacted. A rich medicinal power spread throughout his body and was absorbed and refined by his organs, meridians, and blood vessels.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. When Qin Muling finally ended his enlightenment and opened his eyes again, he found that his entire body was covered in a thick layer of dead skin and black scabs.

With a wave of his hand, the dead skin fell off one after another, revealing the smooth and delicate, translucent white new skin underneath.

Continuing to examine the condition of his body, Qin Muling was not surprised to find that his cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Profound Comprehension Realm, advancing four small realms in a row. And this was not the result of his impatience and rashness. Otherwise, he should have reached the peak of the Profound Comprehension Realm by now and could attempt to break through to the Core Condensation Realm.

"It's time to go out. I wonder what Senior Sister and the others are doing."

Qin Muling slowly stood up, used the Soft Water Spirit Art with a flick of his hand, and summoned a large water ball to envelop his body, thoroughly cleaning himself. Then he used a small spell to clean his clothes and evaporate the moisture.

When everything was done, Qin Muling felt refreshed and full of vitality, unable to describe the refreshing and comfortable feeling.

Close the formation, open the secret hall door, and Qin Muling saw Xue Bingxuan guarding outside as expected, even Qi Yalan was there.

"You finally decided to come out!"

Seeing the figure of the junior brother, the two women immediately stood in front of Qin Muling, their elegant and fragrant body scent wafting towards him. They each grabbed one of his wrists, releasing their divine thoughts to explore his cultivation level. The smooth and delicate touch made Qin Muling's heart skip a beat.

"Your cultivation speed has increased quite a bit, but considering your aptitude, this progress is not exaggerated!" Xue Bingxuan said with a smile. The feedback she received was even more satisfying than she expected. Qin Muling's performance was much stronger than when she first became a core disciple.

She looked forward to what surprises Qin Muling would bring in the future. Thinking of the instructions from their master, Mu Yinghua, before leaving, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

"Get ready, join us in reinforcing the Soul Demon Abyss in an hour, and also check on your fourth senior sister. That's what our master wants," Qi Yalan said as she caressed his hand.

Qin Muling had no objections: "Okay, but on the way, you'll have to teach me how to drive the carriage."

Xue Bingxuan laughed: "It's not just the three of us this time. Thousands of disciples will be going. We'll need the Heavenly Ship to be appropriate. We'll talk about teaching you to drive later."

Qin Muling nodded. The elders had already made all the arrangements. After being in the sect for so long and receiving so much care, it was time for him to go out and gain experience.

At this moment, in the square in front of the sect's meeting hall, thousands of disciples had gathered, from core disciples to inner disciples, outer disciples, and miscellaneous disciples. Countless colorful lights were constantly flying from various peaks.

This reinforcement mission of the sect was not insignificant. The call to gather had been issued a few days ago, and today was the official departure day. The disciples who intended to participate in the expedition had gathered here early, waiting for the senior sister to come and arrange everything.

When Xue Bingxuan appeared on the square with Qin Muling, the whole scene suddenly fell silent. The gazes of thousands of female disciples almost simultaneously focused on this handsome young man with a dragon-like aura and elegant demeanor.

"...Who is this?"

"...I don't know, but he looks pretty good. When did our Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace have male disciples?"

"I heard the senior sister mention him a few days ago. He seems to be the descendant of a certain elder and is being groomed as the successor. That's why he received the special permission of Supreme Master to reside in the sect."

"I see, he has quite a background. His talent must be extraordinary, right?"

"Definitely, otherwise, why would the elder spend so much effort on him?"

"..."

Whispers filled the square, but Qin Muling remained calm, walking alongside his senior sister.

"Dang!"

As the heavy bell rang, the entire scene fell silent.

The sky suddenly darkened, and seven huge shadows slowly descended not far away. They were seven Heavenly Ships, each over a hundred zhang long, shimmering with light.

Xue Bingxuan's majestic gaze swept over the crowded crowd in front of her and calmly said, "The time has come, everyone board the ship!"
