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

Chapter 51: Insight

After a day and a night, Qin Muling left the Tibetan Scripture Hall.

The only male disciple of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace did not linger outside. He was escorted directly by Qi Yalan to the Cave Mansion of the Sect Master Mu Yinghua. Then, he stayed at home and became a full-fledged otaku.

The news spread, and many people who secretly paid attention to Qin Muling couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Some people directly sent their own juniors to invite him, while others began to mobilize their connections to inquire about what scriptures he had read in the Tibetan Scripture Hall, in which areas he showed exceptional talent, and what path he planned to choose in the future.

However, all these efforts were in vain. Qin Muling once again avoided all the hidden currents outside in the name of closed-door cultivation.

In the secret hall.

"...I always feel that hiding here all the time is not a solution, Junior Brother," Qi Yalan looked at Qin Muling sitting on the cloud bed and said, "Since they have set their sights on you, they will never give up until they get what they want. Besides, not everyone has ill intentions towards you. Many senior sisters and elders just want to get to know you and build a closer relationship."

Qin Muling smiled, "I understand, but isn't it too early for that now? Even if I want to build connections, I should wait until I have the cultivation level close to yours. It's not beneficial for me to have early contact with them."

Qin Muling knew very well that in this sect with numerous factions and powerful figures, he was like a delicious piece of meat. There were many wolves and tigers around him, and if he was not careful, he could be devoured by them without leaving a trace.

Therefore, in this sect, as long as his own cultivation level was not strong enough, he would not pay attention to anyone, regardless of their background or the reasons for their visit, except for the Sect Master and the Third Senior Sister, Qi Yalan, whom he could absolutely trust.

With the identity of a direct disciple personally chosen by the Supreme Sect Master and being a newcomer, no matter how dissatisfied those big shots were, they would not openly trouble him. At most, they would send a junior to cause some trouble. But with the Third Senior Sister watching over him, it would be in vain.

Qi Yalan thought for a moment, "That makes sense. Then, I'll leave it to you. Hmm, I feel that I'm not far from the Immortal Transformation realm. Whether I can break through in the near future depends on you, Junior Brother!"

Qin Muling nodded, "That's simple. You can cultivate with me. This time it will probably take a while, at least three months."

He needed time to digest the abundant gains from the Tibetan Scripture Hall. Moreover, due to his low cultivation level, his digestion and absorption ability was limited at the moment. He couldn't rush it and could only take it slowly.

"That's great," Qi Yalan said happily. The Spiritual Light of Enlightenment only appeared when Qin Muling was in closed-door cultivation, so she also had to adjust her cultivation plan to stay in sync with him as much as possible to maximize the benefits.

It seemed that she had to find a way to prepare the necessary resources as soon as possible to break through to the next realm...

Qi Yalan thought to herself. Although the Destiny Realm was powerful, there were not many disciples in the entire sect's new generation with such cultivation. But it was still not enough.

Whenever she thought of the seductive gazes those vixens outside cast on Qin Muling, Qi Yalan felt a tingling scalp. If it weren't for the prestige of the Sect Master suppressing them, they would have rushed up and used all their divine abilities to seduce Qin Muling. How could she alone withstand so many wolves and tigers?

Unless her cultivation realm broke through again, taking the crucial step of transcending mortality and achieving immortality, and having a long and eternal life, she could ensure her advantageous position against them.

For the human race, there were a total of nine major realms from the Qi Refining Realm to the Destiny Realm, which were all within the scope of cultivators. With each level of realm advancement, the cultivator's strength would become stronger and their lifespan would become longer. However, it would not exceed ten thousand years. This was the limit set by the laws of this realm. When their lifespan ended, they would return to dust and soil, and no kind of longevity elixir would work.

Only by comprehending the law of life and death, understanding the essence of immortality, and initially touching the nature of the Great Dao, could one truly break free from the fate of mortality and evolve towards a higher level of life form. This was the Immortal Transformation realm.

While she was thinking, Qin Muling beside her had already entered a state of cultivation. The familiar Spiritual Light of Enlightenment slowly reappeared. Qi Yalan quickly focused her mind, silently operated her cultivation technique, and entered a state of deep enlightenment, merging with heaven and man.

Three months quietly passed.

When Mu Yinghua broke the restriction and entered the secret hall, what she saw was the two of them enveloped in pure and mysterious Spiritual Light of Enlightenment.

"...These little girls are truly fortunate!" Mu Yinghua gently extended her jade-like hand and carefully identified the effect of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment. She couldn't help but sigh. If the benefits on Qin Muling were spread, even the high-ranking elders would not be able to resist the temptation and would fight over him.

If... Qin Muling's cultivation reaches the Immortal Transformation realm in the future, the power of this Spiritual Light of Enlightenment will undoubtedly increase, and it will have an effect on her as the Supreme Sect Master, right?

At this thought, Mu Yinghua couldn't help but feel a bit troubled. When that time comes, won't she have to put aside her pride and take advantage of this personally transmitted disciple? It feels a bit embarrassing.

After a moment, as the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment gradually faded away, Qin Muling, who had ended her state of enlightenment, opened her eyes and saw the familiar and majestic figure standing not far away, silently gazing at her.

"Disciple greets the teacher."

Qin Muling quickly got off the cloud bed and greeted, and Qi Yalan, who was beside her, also woke up and followed suit in bowing.

Mu Yinghua nodded with dignity. "Both of you have done well. The speed of your cultivation progress has pleased me greatly. Now, come with me. The Elders want to see you."

"Uh, alright..."

Qin Muling nodded blankly. This moment had finally arrived. As for the specific reasons, Mu Yinghua had already explained them to her last time, so was it time to put the plan into action?

Mu Yinghua waved her sleeve and enveloped the two of them, disappearing into thin air.

When Qin Muling's vision returned to normal, she found herself in a vast medicinal garden. Spiritual light shimmered like rain, displaying various vibrant colors. The rich fragrance of plants filled the air.

As far as her eyes could see, there were all kinds of rare and precious medicinal herbs, most of which were at least three thousand years old. Some particularly valuable ones were approaching the level of sacred medicine, with a history of nearly ten thousand years.

Mu Yinghua looked solemn. "The Elders want to witness your talent and abilities, so give it your all. Don't hold back. This will determine their attitude towards you and the specific tasks they assign you."

"I will follow the instructions of the Master."

Qin Muling instantly understood. She tidied her clothes and calmly walked to the central area of the medicinal garden, where she sat down.

After this closed-door cultivation, she had reached the fifth level of the Core Condensation Realm. The quality and quantity of her spiritual power had significantly improved. As she activated her innate abilities, a rolling stream of green energy spread out lightly, quickly covering the thousands of hectares of the medicinal garden. Brilliant starlight sprinkled from above, silently permeating the interior of the medicinal herbs.

In the Grotto-Heaven secret realm, many Elders sat quietly. A huge projection mirror of magical power floated in mid-air, clearly displaying the scene in the medicinal garden.

As the clear energy filled the air, countless dazzling rays of light and fragrant scents of plants became even more intense. Countless subtle purple-green wood essence rose into the air, converging into a large mass of purple-green clouds, flowing into Qin Muling's body like converging rivers.

Under the gaze of the Elders, extremely subtle chaotic spiritual energy feedback came from Qin Muling's body, infiltrating the interior of these medicinal herbs silently, enhancing their innate potential.

The cultivation time was not long. When Qin Muling finished, Mu Yinghua casually took a Seven-Star Dragon Beard Blood Ginseng and examined it. She found that it had undergone obvious changes. When it fully recovered its vitality after three days, it would at least increase its medicinal power by about thirty years.

As long as Qin Muling continued to cultivate here, once every three days, it would only take a year to increase the medicinal power of all the medicinal herbs in this place by more than three thousand years. Some of the herbs could even surpass their original grade and reach the level of sacred medicine.

In the Grotto-Heaven secret realm, the Elders' expressions changed:

"...What an amazing ability, unheard of in the past. Truly worthy of a living being transformed from an Innate Primordial Spirit Seed!"

"The Sect Master's luck is good. We've really struck gold this time!"

"Indeed, very impressive. If we have an endless supply of sacred medicine in the future, how can our Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace not flourish? How about... we entrust all the medicinal gardens in the sect to him to manage?"

"Who says no? With an inexhaustible supply of divine medicine, we can't worry about the future of the sect."

"Well, let's settle it like this. Let him continue to improve his cultivation. The plan to retrieve the Phoenix Nebula Tower can be postponed for a while. I'm looking forward to whether he will bring us more surprises in the future..."
