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

Chapter 55: Human Feelings

Imperial Dao Peak.

In the Cave Mansion where the Sect Master's daily life takes place halfway up the mountain, Mu Yinghua, who was sitting on a cloud bed, put down the jade slip in his hand and looked at the two personal disciples who had just entered.

After the heavenly calamity that day, Qi Yalan immediately returned to the Cave Mansion to stabilize her cultivation and familiarize herself with the power of the Immortal Transformation realm. During this period, she naturally relied on Qin Muling's assistance and the effect of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment. There were hardly any other resources that could replace them.

After more than a month of secluded cultivation, Qi Yalan successfully emerged from seclusion with a stable cultivation level. Then, she was summoned by the Sect Master.

"I thought your second senior sister would have taken this step earlier," Mu Yinghua said gently to Qi Yalan. "But with Qin Muling's help, you have surpassed them. From now on, you must shoulder the responsibility that comes with it."

"I understand," Qi Yalan replied softly. This responsibility naturally referred to protecting the safety of her junior brother and giving him enough time to grow. After all, luck was not omnipotent, and it wouldn't work against absolute strength.

If there really was someone like Mu Yinghua, who was willing to disregard all consequences and even endure the backlash of the Heavenly Dao to kill Qin Muling, it would be difficult for him to handle it with just his own cultivation level, without an equal force to balance it.

Of course, this was only the most extreme situation. As long as the higher-ups of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace were not wiped out, they would not let Qin Muling face such an unsolvable danger alone. He himself would not be foolish enough to provoke someone at the level of a big shot while still in his current stage.

Mu Yinghua smiled slightly and continued, "The reason why you were able to transcend the tribulation safely is now known to the Elders. So... one by one, they are sending messages through others or even personally pleading with me, hoping that Qin Muling can help their descendants."

"How can this be..." Qi Yalan blurted out, then immediately realized what she had said and blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Mu Yinghua looked at her with some amusement. "Don't be nervous. I haven't agreed to it. Occasionally, it's acceptable to do such things. But if it happens too often, even with Qin Muling's strong foundation of luck, it won't withstand this endless erosion and consumption. So it's absolutely impossible to agree to it."

After helping Qi Yalan successfully transcend the tribulation, Mu Yinghua observed that Qin Muling's luck had indeed been somewhat depleted, but it was less than half and only temporary. It would soon recover.

However, she couldn't be sure if repeated occurrences of this kind would cause irreversible and serious consequences for Qin Muling's luck. Therefore, it was not worth the risk. Ultimately, it was because his current cultivation level was too low. If he could advance to a higher realm, the depletion wouldn't be so great.

Qi Yalan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her junior brother would be used as a tool for transcending tribulation, with all sorts of sly foxes trying to take advantage of him. She couldn't tolerate it!

Qin Muling said softly, "Teacher, this matter is probably difficult to handle. Since they already know about my existence, if they don't get the desired results, they probably won't easily give up."

It was one thing for elders from other factions, but the elders of the Sect Master's faction had always shown her favor. If they offered corresponding benefits as a condition, Mu Yinghua would find it difficult to refuse.

Moreover, where there was one thing, there would be another. As long as one elder's descendant benefited, more elders would come one after another. With Mu Yinghua's status, it would be unwise to favor some and neglect others, otherwise, offending people would be inevitable.

Mu Yinghua nodded slightly. "Indeed, but I have given a compromise in my response. Your current cultivation level is still low, and your foundation of luck is not stable enough. So if they want your help, they must wait until you overcome the heart demon tribulation and step into the Destiny Realm. And at that time, they cannot expect you to do it for free. They must offer corresponding compensation."

"I understand," Qin Muling said with sincere approval. This was like adding an extra layer of insurance for his own safety.

Those senior elders, considering the future path of their own descendants, will definitely not allow Qin Muling to have any accidents. They will do everything possible to ensure his safety and help him grow up quickly.

Moreover, those disciples who need Qin Muling's help can temporarily slow down their progress and patiently wait for several decades or even hundreds of years. Unless they are disciples whose lifespan is about to end and cannot afford any delay, they need to Transcend Tribulation as soon as possible.

Mu Yinghua seemed to understand his thoughts and said, "There is indeed one right now, a descendant of the senior elder Yueyi Tianjun. Due to an unexpected calamity many years ago, their foundation was severely damaged and time is running out. They can only recover by Transcending Tribulation in advance."

"Yueyi Tianjun has a good relationship with one of my ancestors. She owed her a lot of favors in the past, so after she made the request and offered a generous price, I couldn't refuse. That's why I agreed to her."

"Disciple will follow Master's instructions."

Qin Muling replied. It was just one person, so it didn't matter, especially since he could gain considerable benefits from this.

Mu Yinghua nodded and said to Qi Yalan, "You are currently in a tight situation and have no extra resources. I will give you some resources first. You can cultivate in the Imperial Dao Peak, use the Time Acceleration Array, and quickly complete the transformation of your immortal body."

Qi Yalan happily said, "Disciple will follow Master's instructions."

Although cultivators in the Destiny Realm have great power, they have not completely transcended the realm of mortals. On the other hand, cultivators in the Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension realms belong to a higher level of life and cannot be compared.

Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension can be strictly divided into two realms. Immortal Transformation is for cultivators who have successfully crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, comprehended the mysteries of life and death, condensed true immortal principles within their bodies, and continuously refined their physical bodies into immortal bodies.

Immortal Ascension is when the soul completes its transformation into an immortal soul after the physical body, and the body and soul merge to achieve a flawless Immortal Dao Fruit. They can freely travel through the Extreme Void Starry Sky and use high-grade Law Treasures to fight against enemies, although they still cannot use top-grade Spiritual Treasures.

Due to the limitations of the Heavenly Dao, the lifespan of human cultivators in the Destiny Realm will not exceed ten thousand years. No matter what special means or life-extending elixirs are used, they are ineffective. Only by passing the test of the Heavenly Tribulation and condensing true immortal principles within their bodies can they break free from this restriction.

Therefore, Qi Yalan's maximum lifespan now is one yuanhui, which is 129,600 years, and she will not age until her lifespan is about to end.

If she can go further in the future, like the Sect Master and Ancestor, and continue to advance in realms, her expected lifespan will increase even more.

After Qi Yalan left, Mu Yinghua slowly stood up, waved her sleeve, enveloped Qin Muling, and disappeared by tearing through space.

When they reappeared, they were in an unfamiliar Cave Mansion.

Yueyi Tianjun and her descendant Luo Huan had been waiting for a long time.

The woman in snowy white robes was Yueyi Tianjun, tall and mature, with a beautiful and gentle appearance. Her clear and bright eyes contained a charming intellect as she smiled and scrutinized Qin Muling from head to toe.

Luo Huan, the masked young girl, appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, pure and delicate, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Her waist was slender and captivating, attracting attention as she walked like a breeze through willow trees.

Her eyes were filled with joy as she looked at Qin Muling, and there was a sense of relief from a burden being lifted.

"The junior pays respects to Tianjun."

Under Mu Yinghua's signal, Qin Muling bowed to Yueyi Tianjun, who was seated in the main position.

Continue writing, there will be updates before dawn, I will not break my promise.
