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

Chapter 26: The Opportunity to Lie Flat and Cultivate Immortality

In the backyard.

Three tall and majestic golden square cauldrons, each about ten feet high, stood in the hall. The ingredients in the cauldrons had been simmering for quite some time, with the thick soup and the white, fatty meat emitting a faint glow. The aroma was rich and intoxicating.

These three cauldrons were actually genuine Law Treasures. Inside them were a pair of Cloud-Soaring Moon-Howling Jade-Winged Snow Carvings, an Abyssal Frost Dragon from the Extreme Ice Ocean, and a Six-Toothed Suan-Lo Holy Elephant. They were all spirit beasts with the strength of the Dao Integration Realm, terrifying existences that would make ordinary cultivators turn pale.

A considerable number of rare spirit medicines and spiritual herbs were also added to the cauldrons. They were carefully simmered according to the secret recipe of the ancient witch clan. Several skilled chefs and a group of disciples had been busy for a day and night before finally completing this great feat.

Qin Muling and three senior sisters sat at the table, watching the disciples carefully busy themselves, scooping the precious and rare delicacies into white jade bowls and presenting them on the table in front of them.

"Fine wine and delicacies are one of life's three great pleasures!"

Luo Wanqing picked up a specially made bronze wine jug and took a big gulp. She casually patted Qin Muling's shoulder and laughed heartily, "Little junior brother, eat to your heart's content and let your senior sister see how capable you really are!"

Her seemingly delicate and fair hand lightly patted Qin Muling, but it emitted a terrifying dull "thud" sound, causing even the floor of the hall to tremble slightly.

"Can you be a bit gentler?"

Qi Yalan said somewhat dissatisfied, "Little junior brother is not a body cultivator. How can he withstand your rough treatment? Do you think he's a reincarnated divine beast?"

"It's fine. Fourth senior sister does indeed have innate divine strength, but I can handle it."

Qin Muling said lightly as a mysterious seed in his sea of consciousness emitted a faint ghostly light, easily dissolving Luo Wanqing's terrifying brute force into nothingness.

Of course, this was also because Luo Wanqing didn't exert her full strength. Otherwise, even if Qin Muling's aptitude was heaven-defying, he wouldn't be able to withstand it. After all, the difference in cultivation level was too great.

"That's good then!"

Luo Wanqing smiled and pinched his shoulder, saying, "After we eat our fill and have our fill of fighting, as long as you can satisfy me, you can eat whatever you want in the future. Senior sister has plenty of good things here!"

"Senior sister, is the fight you mentioned legitimate?"

Qin Muling silently repeated in her heart, happily agreeing. In terms of family background, Luo Wanqing was undoubtedly the most domineering among the four senior sisters. Her father, the national lord, would order people to hunt down a large number of spirit beasts every month and send them to her. After all, the demand for cultivation resources is extremely exaggerated for high-level body cultivators.

The four senior sisters began to deal with the food in front of them. The snow-white and crystal-clear meat was delicate and tender. With a gentle bite, the ultimate deliciousness erupted on the tip of Qin Muling's tongue, making her have the impulse to eat even the bottom of the bowl.

As the meat melted in her mouth, a powerful medicinal energy continuously surged into every part of Qin Muling's body, solidifying her foundation.

This ancient witch clan's inherited medicinal recipe was a highly confidential secret that was unattainable for all body cultivators, no matter how many spirit stones they spent.

The witch clan's strong physique and abundant vitality were well-known. In addition to their innate talent, the immense accumulation of countless years was also an indispensable factor.

Therefore, most of the elder disciples in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace who followed the path of body cultivation had a good relationship with Luo Wanqing. They would often go to her Cave Mansion for no reason, just to make her happy and have the opportunity to enjoy a meal.

With the consumption of a large amount of spiritual meat and soup, the pure vitality flowed continuously like a surging river. Even though Qin Muling's physical constitution was far superior to ordinary people, she felt an immense pressure, as if her body was about to burst from the massive amount of vitality.

The mysterious seed in her sea of consciousness trembled slightly, timely resolving her dilemma and depositing most of the vital essence deep within her body, waiting to be slowly absorbed and digested in the future.

As Qin Muling continued to eat large bowls of meat and soup, Luo Wanqing's gaze at her became increasingly surprised, excited, and pleased. Throughout the entire sect, there was no one who could compete with her in terms of appetite, including the high-level elders. Unexpectedly, Qin Muling broke this tradition.

Although the junior disciple's cultivation level was still low, as long as she advanced a few more realms in the future, she would definitely have even more surprising performances that would astonish Luo Wanqing.

Appetite determines strength. This is not an empty saying, but a well-founded maxim.

"...There are more and more people outside who are keeping an eye on the junior disciple," Xue Bingxuan took a sip of spirit wine, his gaze serious. "We need to find a way to remind them that there are some things they can't meddle in. What do you think?"

Qi Yalan sneered, "I've received quite a few indirect requests here. Whether they know me or not, they all try to get close, thinking they have a big face."

"Some people actually dare to bribe the people around me, using various forms of coercion and temptation. Do they really think I'm blind and can't see anything?"

Luo Wanqing narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Master's consideration is reasonable. Only by staying by our side can the junior brother grow safely. If it were those bastards, they would probably use all kinds of despicable and shameless means."

Qin Muling asked curiously, "I'm curious to know, if certain people really controlled me, what methods would they use against me?"

Xue Bingxuan looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "Gentler methods would involve keeping you together with a large group of women, endlessly making you have children with them until you are completely drained, without any chance of escape."

Qin Muling's face changed slightly. Others might not understand, but he knew very well that the legendary Innate Hongmeng Spirit Root, when combined with a person, could give birth to bloodlines that could be monstrously powerful. It was hard to say to what extent they could be.

Qi Yalan said in a soft tone, "If they used less gentle methods, they would use secret techniques to seize your Dao Foundation bloodline, root aptitude, and even your luck, in order to benefit a favored descendant in their faction."

"The most outrageous method would be to simply take over your body, or refine you into a puppet Dao weapon, extracting your soul to serve as the spirit of some Law Treasure, never to be liberated for eternity!"

The cruel, dark, bloody and terrifying struggles in the cultivation world were not a secret that was difficult to speak of. Even ordinary people in the mortal world were well aware of it.

In the past, some talented cultivators from humble backgrounds would often disappear without a trace after a brief period of brilliance, leaving no one to ever see them again.

Those who were familiar with the situation knew that their root aptitude and destiny had been secretly stripped away, benefiting some important person's offspring.

Such behavior was not limited to demonic sects; even the well-regarded righteous factions could not completely eliminate it, after all, people were selfish.

The chance of eternal bliss and eternal freedom far surpassed the temptation of the imperial throne in the mortal world by more than just a few levels. For such an opportunity, using any means necessary and going to extremes was commonplace.

"... Qin junior brother, you are a person with great opportunities and great destiny," Xue Bingxuan said finally. "Although I don't know how Master found you in the first place, the fact that you were able to enter the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace means that your destiny and fortune are extraordinary. If it were a male-dominated sect that discovered you first, I'm afraid you would have already been secretly imprisoned by those shameless old things, and all the benefits would have been plundered and divided!"

Qin Muling remained silent for a moment, then nodded gently. There may be other variables, but the situation described by his senior sisters was likely to happen.

As someone who had lived two lives, he was certainly not ignorant and naive. He had a full understanding of the evil that lay deep within human nature.

"Since that's the case, I will have to rely on the care and guidance of my senior sisters for my future path to enlightenment," Qin Muling said sincerely. Regardless of any ulterior motives, up until now, these senior sisters have treated him well and have fully earned his trust.

Xue Bingxuan calmly sipped his spiritual wine and smiled gently, "It is only right for us to protect and nurture our junior brother's growth. However, with such a deep bond, shouldn't our junior brother show some appreciation?"

Qin Muling pondered, "My cultivation level is still low, so it is too early to discuss this. I can only promise to repay in the future. Well, if you are still concerned, I can consider making a solemn oath."

Qi Yalan looked slightly uneasy, "Let's skip the solemn oath. We naturally trust you, junior brother. Actually, we are not seeking your repayment..."

Xue Bingxuan's lips curved into a gentle and serene smile, "As long as our junior brother doesn't forget the kindness of his senior sisters in the future, our efforts will not be in vain."

Luo Wanqing couldn't help but find it amusing. The eldest senior sister was dignified, the second senior sister was scheming, and the third senior sister was proud. At critical moments, none of them had the courage to speak up. In the end, wasn't it taking advantage of herself?

In such matters, it was always the quick ones who benefited while the slow ones missed out. If one missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity due to concerns about their image, even the legendary Hongmeng Saint couldn't produce a regret medicine.

Without beating around the bush, Luo Wanqing immediately took out a hazy and radiant jade scroll and slapped it in front of Qin Muling, to the disbelief of her senior sisters.

"Sign it, junior brother, and you will be mine from now on!"

Luo Wanqing calmly and generously declared, "In the future, no matter what resources you need, our Witch Clan can provide them all, ensuring that you can achieve the most perfect and flawless Immortal Dao Fruit! How about it?"

Qin Muling: "..."

The content of the jade scroll was not complicated; it was a marriage contract. Once signed, he and this Witch Clan princess would have a legal engagement and be recognized by the entire Witch Clan's high-ranking members.

To put it simply, this was an opportunity to cultivate effortlessly. From now on, Qin Muling could cultivate alongside Luo Wanqing, ascending to become true lifelong Dao companions.

Hmm, to accept or not to accept this opportunity to cultivate effortlessly...
