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

Chapter 20: Enlightenment and Spiritual Insight

The area where seclusion is located is in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion, a vast courtyard.

There are hundreds of cultivation rooms here, divided into eight grades from high to low. Among them, there are only two best cultivation rooms. One must be kept empty for occasional use, and the other is now used by Qin Muling.

At the entrance of the courtyard.

Two outer disciples opened the prohibition with the jade talisman in their hands, leading Qin Muling and Qi Yalan inside.

Passing through the algae well, they opened two more prohibitions and entered the cultivation room. This is a carefully arranged small Cave Mansion, with various pearls and crystals used on the walls, floor tiles, and dome, giving off a shimmering light and a vibrant spiritual energy.

However, according to Qi Yalan's explanation, none of the materials here are ordinary. They all have the effects of nourishing qi and blood, refining impurities, calming the mind, and resisting inner demons. They are suitable for both cultivation and healing.

There is no unnecessary furniture or decorations inside, it is empty except for the warm jade cloud bed in the center.

The two outer disciples skillfully performed the spiritual technique, activating all the Spirit Gathering arrays. In just a few breaths, a light and ethereal white mist permeated from the dome and walls, gradually filling the entire space. It was a nearly liquefied spiritual energy, faintly carrying the fragrance of plants and trees.

According to Qi Yalan, this mist contains a lot of essence of spiritual medicine, which can further enhance the efficiency of seclusion cultivation. It is no wonder that this place is so popular.

When the mist of spiritual energy in the room reaches a certain density, the Spirit Gathering arrays will temporarily stop operating.

"...Senior Qin, we will leave now. If you need anything, you can summon us through the sound transmission array." The two outer disciples kindly reminded Qin Muling.

"Thank you, junior sisters, for your help." Qin Muling said, giving each of them a replenishing Yuan Pill as a token of gratitude.

One of the girls wanted to say something, but after looking at Qi Yalan, who had a cold expression and a formidable aura, she ultimately held back and silently saluted before leaving.

As they walked out of the courtyard, the two outer disciples' expressions became somewhat gloomy.

"What should we do? We still can't find an opportunity to talk to Senior Qin alone." One of the girls whispered.

"That Qi Yalan senior sister... she even has to guard him during seclusion cultivation. Clearly, she's just his junior sister, not his Dao companion. Is it necessary to keep such a close watch on him?" The other girl's expression was somewhat resentful.

"There's nothing we can do. We can only wait for the next opportunity."

"I think it's difficult. Either the senior sister or her, and in the future, Luo Wanqing might also join. How can our master have a chance?"

"It seems that Senior Qin has some hidden secrets. Otherwise, why would those elders from the Sect Master's lineage attach so much importance to him? It won't be easy to bring him over."

"Forget it, this is not something we need to consider. Let's go back and report to Elder Jin."

...

Inside the cultivation room.

Qin Muling sat on the cloud bed, and Qi Yalan also came over and sat opposite him.

"By the way, how is Fourth Senior Sister's temperament?" Qin Muling suddenly asked.

Qi Yalan's expression froze slightly, "Why are you asking this question?"

"I'm just afraid that you two will fight again in the future, just like you and Senior Sister..." Qin Muling muttered helplessly.

Qi Yalan blushed slightly, "That won't happen this time. Master has made it clear to us about the interests involved, so the thing you're worried about won't happen."

"That's good then."

Qin Muling sighed and waved his hand, taking out all the remaining Ghost Devil Eroded Vines and various medicinal herbs and flowers from the spatial bracelet, piling them up into a small mountain on the floor.

The remaining Ghost Devil Eroded Vines, still full of vitality, seemed to instinctively sense the impending crisis and began to twist and struggle frantically, emitting strands of bloody mist. Faintly eerie and sharp howls echoed in the spiritual realm.

"They're already dead, why can't they just behave?" Qi Yalan snorted coldly. Countless sharp sword auras emerged around her, and the struggling demonic vines were instantly covered in numerous smooth and neat cuts, severed into dozens of small pieces. Blood-like liquid gushed out from the cut surfaces, abruptly stopping the strange spiritual attacks.

Qin Muling activated his spiritual power, and a rolling green aura spread out, covering these resources. After dozens of breaths, countless subtle purple auras rose up and slowly flowed into his body.

Qi Yalan, who was beside him, watched without blinking. The demonic energy and various toxic impurities in these spiritual medicines and plants showed no reaction, only the most essential part of vitality was absorbed by Junior Brother. It was evident that his talent was indeed extraordinary.

Since they were facing lifeless objects this time, there was no need for reciprocal feedback from the Origin Spirit Machine. They could plunder all the vitality at once, so Qin Muling's gains were slightly more than before.

Half an hour later, the floor was covered with a thick layer of black residue. Qi Yalan's thoughts moved, and streams of air currents rushed in, rolling up the toxic residue and pressing it tightly into a corner. After sealing it, she stored it in a large block of ice and put it into the spatial bracelet to be discarded after the closed-door cultivation.

"Alright, Junior Brother, let's begin!" Qi Yalan said impatiently.

Qin Muling nodded, closed his eyes, and started cultivating. The mist-like essence of spiritual energy in the surrounding space seemed to be attracted and flowed into him, bringing a cool and gentle sense of pleasure. His whole body felt inexplicably comfortable and at ease.

In the depths of his sea of consciousness, the mysterious seed rotated slightly, generating even more chaotic spiritual light that merged with his soul origin.

Under this influence, a pure, flawless, profound, and agile aura gradually appeared around Qin Muling, expanding to a radius of three zhang before gradually solidifying and stabilizing, transforming into a bright halo that enveloped him and Qi Yalan.

Suppressing her excitement, Qi Yalan quickly swallowed several spiritual pills and also closed her eyes, starting to silently practice her cultivation technique.

This was a new ability that Qin Muling awakened after breaking through the Profound Comprehension Realm, a never-before-heard-of Divine Ability. As long as others were in the range of the mysterious halo while he was cultivating with full concentration, they could easily enter a state of deep enlightenment and unity of heaven and man.

For cultivators, deep enlightenment meant unimaginable benefits. If a cultivator could enter this state of unity of heaven and man at will during closed-door cultivation, their cultivation speed would be unbelievably fast, surpassing ordinary geniuses by a large margin.

If in the future, Qi Yalan and the others could benefit from being around Qin Muling during his closed-door cultivation, over time, not only would their cultivation advance further, but they might even surpass their Master.

Back then, Xue Bingxuan and Qi Yalan almost fought over Qin Muling, not because of their frivolous behavior or deliberate pretense, but because the benefits hidden in this Junior Brother were truly immense, far beyond the comparison of ordinary treasures.

With the appearance of the mysterious halo, the mist-like spiritual energy in the surrounding space seemed to be attracted and flowed faster. In no time, it filled the entire halo and then merged into Qin Muling and Qi Yalan's bodies at a speed ten times faster.

Sensing the significant decrease in the concentration of spiritual energy in the space, the Spirit Gathering Array on the walls and floor began to operate again, and the mist-like spiritual energy surged and gathered once more. By the time the three-day closed-door cultivation ended, the Spirit Gathering Array had released nearly a hundred bursts of spiritual energy.
