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

Chapter 73 "Not Allowed!"

In the Cave Mansion.

Mu Yinghua sat on the cloud bed, and the twenty precious jade tokens floated by her side, emitting a brilliant light that illuminated everything within ten zhang.

Qin Muling and Qi Yalan sat below, carefully recounting their experiences in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm.

Due to the vastness of the realm, the senior sisters and guardians have not yet met up with Qin Muling. This made Mu Yinghua somewhat worried.

Fortunately, before their return this time, Qi Yalan had already left a message for the senior sisters through long-distance communication arrays in Longyuan City. Due to the difference in the flow of time between the two worlds, they might have already arrived by the time they entered the realm again.

The advantage of having more people is obvious. Not only can they stick together for self-protection, but they can also explore high-risk areas for opportunities. It is much safer than going alone. The most important thing is the close relationship between the senior sisters and Qin Muling, which provides enough trust.

"...So you really gave the Yanling Ji a hard time?" Mu Yinghua's voice was filled with satisfaction. "Jade Pearl Star Palace is a major enemy of my Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. Being able to make them suffer a loss is advantageous for us. You two have made great contributions this time."

Qin Muling said, "I'm afraid their Sect Master can't accept the loss and might cause trouble outside, causing problems for the sect."

Mu Yinghua shook her head. "There's no need for you to worry about this. The sect has long been prepared for this. Since the end of the great battle ten thousand years ago, we have never given up our revenge plan. Moreover, the surrounding forces have become increasingly wary of the influence of Jade Pearl Star Palace. They dare not act recklessly at the moment."

Qin Muling felt relieved. As long as the Sect Master and Master had a plan, there was no need for her to worry. When she thought about it carefully, she and Third Senior Sister had killed quite a few people in the secret realm this time. However, besides Jade Pearl Star Palace, the other forces were not worth mentioning.

This was the norm in the cultivation world. In order to compete for opportunities, either you kill others or you get killed. If your strength is not enough, you will be suppressed. In such a competitive era, there is no room for morality and righteousness.

"I will distribute these twenty spots as soon as possible," Mu Yinghua continued, "The elders will give corresponding rewards for the resources you obtained in the secret realm. You won't receive any benefits for nothing."

Qin Muling didn't mind this. With the Master present, no one in the sect would dare to take advantage of her. Even the Grand Elders had to follow the rules. It was unlikely that they would stoop so low as to snatch something from a junior.

Mu Yinghua looked at Qin Muling, pondered for a while, and finally said, "Since you have broken through to the Infant Formation stage in the secret realm, stay outside for two days before going back in. After all, your physical body needs to adapt to the new realm and power. Also, your senior sisters are on the verge of a breakthrough. Why not take this opportunity to help them overcome their tribulations?"

The gap between the Destiny Realm and the Immortal Transformation stage is not small. The senior sisters were originally at the same level, but Qi Yalan, who had transcended the tribulation first with the help of her many gains in the secret realm and Qin Muling's assistance, had made rapid progress and had now reached the threshold of the Immortal Ascension stage.

Therefore, Mu Yinghua was somewhat worried. In the short term, it might be fine, but in the long run, conflicts might arise among the direct disciples. It was necessary to treat everyone equally and not show favoritism.

"Master's words are excellent, and I have no objections," Qin Muling agreed. The cultivation level of her senior sisters had improved, which was beneficial to her. She could enjoy a more comfortable life.

Qi Yalan glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally gathered her courage to say, "Master, I want to go to the scripture repository in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm. Please grant me permission."

During the opening of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, for the sake of secrecy, all participating disciples and elders were not allowed to contact the outside world, not even their closest companions. Going out was even more impossible unless they obtained permission from the Sect Master.

Mu Yinghua's eyes narrowed slightly, "Oh? What are you going to the Scripture Repository for?"

Qi Yalan's face blushed slightly as she glanced at the elegant and graceful Qin Muling beside her. She made up her mind and said, "Disciple wants to find a suitable... technique, and comprehend it together with Junior Brother."

As a woman, she maintained her composure and ultimately did not say those two words. But as long as the Master's eyes were not blind, he would naturally understand her intention.

The Cave Mansion suddenly fell silent, and even Qin Muling, who had the lowest cultivation level, felt a sense of danger.

He was somewhat speechless. Clearly, it was Sister who wanted the technique herself, so why did she have to drag him along?

"Not allowed!"

After a while, Mu Yinghua's clear and pleasant voice, like the collision of ice cubes, echoed in the Cave Mansion. The volume was not high, but it carried an unquestionable decisiveness.

"But, Master..."

Qi Yalan's expression stiffened, still wanting to argue. However, Mu Yinghua had already left with a flick of her sleeve, disappearing from the spot.

Qin Muling sighed, "Sister, let it go."

"Why?"

Qi Yalan turned her head, her dark and beautiful eyes staring at him displeased.

"Think about it yourself!"

Qin Muling didn't want to say much. Regardless of the Master's considerations, as long as she didn't give her approval, Qi Yalan and the other senior sisters would never get what they wanted. Moreover, there was simply no room for negotiation in this matter. No one's words would be effective.

Qi Yalan's face darkened, feeling her thoughts in chaos. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Could it be that the Master had other ideas? But that shouldn't be the case. She was the Master's direct disciple. If the Junior Brother didn't give it to her, did she have to let those seductive women outside benefit?

After a moment, Mu Yinghua returned.

Following her, there were twenty stunning and outstanding women, ranging from loli to young girls, and mature beauties. It was said that among the female cultivators, there were basically no poor looks or figures, let alone the female cultivators of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, who were famous for their beauty in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.

They were the Elders invited by Mu Yinghua this time. They seemed fine on the surface, but in reality, they all had some hidden dangers, such as old wounds that had not healed, the need to break through their cultivation realms, or a short remaining lifespan. Therefore, they needed certain resources in the secret realm to help them in emergencies.

The reason why these Elders couldn't enter the Illusory Mist Secret Realm personally, apart from the issue of quotas, was mainly because the sect's important areas also needed sufficient strategic forces to stay behind and not give the enemy any opportunities.

If most of the high-level martial strength of a sect went to the Illusory Mist Secret Realm to seek opportunities, and the enemy took advantage of the situation to launch a major attack, it would lead to the extermination of the sect. No force would make such a low-level mistake.

Another reason was that the world inside the secret realm was vast. It was difficult to control the time needed to find suitable resources, and the probability of accidents was not low. This was because many of the secret chambers and ruins inside had various rules and restrictions, and having a higher cultivation level did not necessarily give an advantage.

In the eyes of the higher-ups, the birth of an Elder was not easy, and even the loss of one was considered a painful loss. However, the younger generation disciples were relatively more replaceable, except for a few monstrous geniuses. Taking all factors into consideration, it became the most suitable choice to let these younger disciples enter the secret realm to seek opportunities. Once they found something useful for the Elders, the Elders would offer a suitable price and then make a trade, benefiting both sides.
