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

Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Wiping Out in One Fell Swoop

In the boundless darkness, the intermittent screams were particularly terrifying to the cultivators. Even those with strong wills couldn't help but feel a chilling sensation. Occasionally, the radiance of flying swords, Law Treasures, would shine weakly, but the desperate and shrill screams continued to be heard.

Faced with the attacks of these strange creatures, the exhausted cultivators were powerless to resist and were bitten to death one by one.

"...Alright, I'm quitting, quitting!"

A cultivator on the verge of mental collapse jumped up and shouted loudly, then disappeared on the spot.

"Damn it, this place is not suitable for humans! I'm quitting too!"

Another cultivator grumbled, triggering a chain reaction. Hundreds of cultivators who considered themselves unable to persist chose to give up.

As a result, the unknown creatures in the darkness quietly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to calm.

Qin Muling smiled silently. It seemed that the Tower Spirit was fair in its actions and didn't indiscriminately kill. He felt a bit more favorable towards it.

At this moment, there were only a little over a hundred human-shaped torches in the field, and most of them were dim, indicating that they wouldn't last much longer.

Of course, this had no effect on Qin Muling and the other two. From their standpoint, it would be best if all those guys ran out of energy and were eliminated, so that all the opportunities in the tower wouldn't fall into the hands of outsiders.

However, this time, the development of the situation didn't go according to Qin Muling's wishes. When the number of surviving cultivators in the field dropped below one hundred, the substantial darkness slowly faded away, and the scene on the dome returned to normal.

Finally, it was over!

Except for Qin Muling and the other two, all the cultivators felt as if they had survived a disaster and been reborn. Even for Su Zhengji, a well-known veteran powerhouse, such a dangerous experience was extremely rare.

He was ultimately at the half-step Golden Immortal level. Although the power he could exert in the secret realm was limited to the Immortal Transformation realm, the depth of his mana was not discounted, allowing him to hold on until now.

Among the remaining nearly one hundred cultivators, the majority were veteran powerhouses who had sealed their cultivation. The rest were young elites, each with their own special cards as monstrous geniuses.

After a few breaths, the starry sky reflection reappeared on the dome, and the third wave of clear-colored rain silently poured down, covering all the cultivators in the field.

Compared to the previous two times, this wave of rain was particularly abundant in quantity and could be considered a medium-intensity rainfall. It contained a more abundant source of vitality, and the pure and rich Dao rhyme spread out, even causing Qin Muling to be somewhat shocked.

Cheng Yulan didn't say much either. She controlled the formation and started working again. A vortex of starlight with a radius of over a hundred miles appeared above their heads, sweeping up and collecting all the clear-colored rain within the range of the formation, and the three of them shared all the gains.

"It's already the ninth level of the Heart Demon Realm, not far from the Destiny Realm! It's just a pity that I still can't directly move this Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda back!"

Qin Muling felt both joy and regret. After digesting this wave of clear-colored rain, which had the largest quantity and better quality, his physical body and divine soul were once again optimized and improved by about half. His cultivation had also been raised from the sixth level to the ninth level of the Heart Demon Realm.

The most important thing was that the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed in his sea of consciousness had undergone changes again. The amount of spiritual essence it could absorb in an instant had increased, and dense auspicious clouds and radiance rose, enveloping him in an immeasurable purple aura. The rich and profound Dao rhyme permeated, slowly and continuously integrating with Qin Muling's divine soul, enhancing his innate endowment. The eighth Azure Lotus leaf shadow had already formed in advance, bringing a brand-new innate Divine Ability.

The new Divine Ability was called "Aeon Sundial," which could cause a small-scale time reversal, lasting no more than thirty breaths. When facing an inevitable death, this Divine Ability could be said to be a life-saving move that defied fate.

Of course, its cost was quite exaggerated. Each time it was used, three hundred years of lifespan would be permanently lost, and there was no elixir that could make up for it. Only when one's cultivation broke through to a higher realm in the future could it be restored.

Qin Muling silently estimated that the current effective range of this Divine Ability was within a three-foot radius centered on himself. Of course, in the future, when he broke through to a new realm, its power should also increase synchronously.

While the internal space derived from the Azure Lotus continued to expand, the nature of the items it could accommodate also changed. Qin Muling tried to intercept a handful of clear-colored rain and used his mana to condense it into a pill bottle, sending it into the internal space. The result was that it could be preserved.

Qin Muling's expression brightened slightly. This clear-colored rain and dew was actually a rare Good Fortune spiritual essence, similar in effect to the Taichi Primordial Mother Liquid, but this one could be used by both male and female cultivators. However, it couldn't be preserved by ordinary means. If it couldn't be absorbed and digested by the human body immediately, it would dissipate into spiritual energy in the air.

If she could intercept and preserve some in this way, it would undoubtedly be excellent to bring it out for her senior sister and master. Thinking about it, Qin Muling immediately informed Cheng Yulan with her divine sense. Cheng Yulan didn't hesitate and immediately revealed a pair of pure white silk ribbon-like Law Treasures. They swelled in the wind and transformed into two jade dragons that were tens of thousands of zhang long, sweeping left and right against the dome. The massive amount of clear-colored rain and dew was effortlessly swept over and integrated into a clear-colored sphere with a diameter of over ten zhang.

Qin Muling didn't dare to delay and raised her hand to take in the sphere, wrapping it in her mana and sending it into her spatial interior. Then, Cheng Yulan continued to collect more in the same way.

Anyway, in this space of over a thousand li, there were less than a hundred cultivators still alive. Even if she took and occupied more, no one could do anything to her.

In a short time, over ten clear-colored spheres were in Qin Muling's hands and sent into her spatial interior. Since Cheng Yulan was currently trying to break through her cultivation realm, she didn't need to absorb them immediately. She could focus on dealing with this matter and ask her junior brother when she needed to use this Good Fortune spiritual essence in the future.

By the time this wave of rain and dew ended, over a hundred spheres had appeared in Qin Muling's spatial interior. The weight of any one of them was enough to cause a foolish mortal to undergo a complete transformation and become a true monstrous genius.

Of course, in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, there were as many mortals as there were grains of sand in the Ganges River. As long as one was willing to search, the number of so-called monstrous genius seeds was actually much greater than imagined.

The key issue was that having such cultivation seeds was not enough. In order to truly nurture them, a massive amount of heavenly treasures and earthly materials needed to be continuously invested, as well as Apex Level techniques and Divine Abilities, Apex Level teachers to guide them at all times, and a sufficient number of protectors to ensure that they wouldn't be robbed and killed while traveling.

Moreover, these geniuses also needed sufficient luck and opportunities. A genius with good aptitude but no great luck would also not be favored by the big shots.

After undergoing various strict and harsh conditions, the number of monstrous genius seeds that could truly achieve something was undoubtedly extremely rare. Just looking at the few monstrous genius seeds that each of the Supreme Dao Lineages could produce, one could imagine how difficult it was.

There were many geniuses, and there were also many monstrous genius seeds, but resources were always limited.

"...What were they doing just now? Could it be that they still want to take this Good Fortune spiritual essence out?" Chi Yeling of the Immemorial Qilin Race muttered in confusion. He had tried before, but unfortunately, this thing couldn't be preserved. No matter what kind of Divine Ability or Law Treasure he used, it was useless, so he gave up on it.

"Perhaps they have some special means that we don't know about, so they're doing this?" a protector beside him speculated.

Chi Yeling nodded. It seemed that this was the most reasonable speculation.

After a moment of contemplation, Chi Yeling took out a blank jade slip from his storage bracelet and quickly wrote a list inside with his divine sense. Then, he handed it to a blue-haired, blue-eyed beautiful girl beside him and instructed her, "Xueyou, go negotiate with them. Tell them that if they can transfer some of this Good Fortune spiritual essence to us after going out, they can freely choose any of the rare resources listed on this list."

"Alright, big brother," Xueyou crisply replied, taking the jade slip and standing up, walking towards Qin Muling.

Qin Muling naturally noticed this girl with a slender waist, long legs, and a sweet and lovely appearance. She wore a close-fitting, blue-gold soft armor that perfectly outlined her curvaceous and youthful figure, with smooth and fair skin and a sunny smile on her jade-like face.

"What can I do for you, little sister?" Yu Binghua stood up gracefully and asked with a gentle smile.

Cheng Yulan discreetly stood in front of Qin Muling. Her senior sister had said that it would be better for them to handle communication and negotiation with outsiders to avoid deep entanglement of Qin Muling's fate and cause unpredictable consequences.

In the Extreme Void Starry Sky, there were countless mysterious and unpredictable Divine Ability secret techniques. If one wasn't careful and cautious, and didn't have a few tricks up their sleeve, problems would arise sooner or later.

"Are you senior sisters from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace?" Xueyou tilted her head and looked at the beautiful and voluptuous woman, obediently saying, "I am the daughter of the chief of the Immemorial Qilin Race. My big brother wants to ask if you can give us some of the Good Fortune spiritual essence. If it's convenient for you to give it up, you can freely choose any of the items on this list."

"Alright, big brother," Xueyou crisply replied, taking the jade slip and standing up, walking towards Qin Muling.

My big brother wants to ask if you can give us some of the Good Fortune spiritual essence. If it's convenient for you to give it up, you can freely choose any of the items on this list."

Speaking, he handed over the jade slip.

Yu Binghua took the jade slip and looked at it. The types of resources listed were quite good, mostly specialty products from the territory of the Immemorial Qilin Race, rare things that are rarely seen outside.

For example, the Blood Star Soul Grass with crimson leaves is an extremely difficult to cultivate Holy Medicine. It is one of the key main ingredients used to refine a certain life-extending Heavenly Rank pill. It has always been a strategic resource monopolized by the Immemorial Qilin Race, and its price on the market has soared. This time, the young clan leader Chi Yeling brought out fifty plants at once, showing his sincerity.

The other twenty or so types of resources are also rare and precious. Normally, if the senior sisters wanted to obtain these things, the price they would have to pay would undoubtedly be much higher, and it would require a lot of effort.

"The items are good, but... how do we trade?" Yu Binghua pondered and asked. Chi Yeling couldn't carry these resources with him all the time, and only Qin Muling had the Good Fortune Spirit Machine that could be stored for a long time. Once taken out of the body's space, it had to be used immediately, so the method of trading became a problem.

"This is easy," Xue You smiled with a curved eyebrow and eyes. "After we leave this Grotto-Heaven secret realm, my eldest brother will prepare the items and personally visit the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. He will also bring the clan members who need the Good Fortune Spirit Machine. After the transaction is completed, they can use the Good Fortune Spirit Machine on the spot to wash their marrow and reshape their Dao Foundation. What do you think, sister?"

"It sounds good, but... please wait a moment," Yu Binghua thought for a moment. Such an important strategic resource transaction requires a high level of trust, and it might even affect the relationship between the Immemorial Qilin Race and the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. She couldn't make the decision alone.

Therefore, Yu Binghua decided to discuss with Cheng Yulan and Qin Muling. Unfortunately, the eldest senior sister Xue Bingxuan was not present at the moment, otherwise, she could make the decision with just one word.

"In principle, we can agree," Cheng Yulan pondered. "For now, let's reply to her like this. After we meet up with the eldest senior sister and the others outside, we won't need to worry about how to handle it."

"I think it's feasible too," Qin Muling agreed. He guessed the intentions of the second senior sister. As long as they temporarily stabilized Chi Yeling, the people of the Immemorial Qilin Race would become temporary allies on their side before leaving the Grotto-Heaven secret realm. At least they wouldn't be enemies.

Since the trade wouldn't happen immediately, even if there were any changes after they left, they could still change their minds.

Yu Binghua immediately walked out of the range covered by the formation and informed Xue You of the decision. The daughter of the contemporary clan leader happily went back to report.

After hearing the news, Chi Yeling breathed a sigh of relief. A group of capable and trusted clan members under his command needed to improve their aptitude. If he could trade for enough Good Fortune Spirit Machines and let them all undergo a collective transformation and sublimation, the power and influence he controlled would undoubtedly increase. Would the position of the next clan leader still fall into someone else's hands?

"That Qin Muling from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has a somewhat special background," Chi Yeling looked at his younger sister and said, "If you have the chance, you might as well get to know him more. It would be best if you could become friends."

"What's so special about him?" Xue You blinked her clear and bright eyes and hesitated to ask, "When I went over just now, those two senior sisters seemed very nervous and concerned about him. They didn't even let me talk to him."

"That's exactly why they're nervous and concerned. Father once revealed some secrets to me. This Qin Muling is indeed not simple. If we can gain his friendship, it should be beneficial for both you and me," Chi Yeling smiled. As the clan leader of the Immemorial Qilin Race, he had access to certain secret information channels, but even he didn't know everything. So he could only follow his father's instructions.

"Alright, I'll do my best," Xue You pursed her cherry lips, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with her older brother's mysteriousness, but she still agreed.

Their actions did not escape the notice of the other cultivators. Not long after, another veiled woman in a black dress walked over.

"This senior sister, I am Mu Yinshuang, the direct disciple of the Azure Hill Hall's sect leader."

She slightly bowed and greeted with warm words. In Qin Muling's eyes, this tall and graceful figure, with enchanting curves and delicate beauty, was no less inferior to the two senior sisters. Her bright eyes emitted a mischievous and cunning light, and she held a transparent and icy jade flute in her jade-like hand.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yulan was watching him and didn't allow him to approach and strike up a conversation. Only Yu Binghua went forward to talk to her.

Mu Yinshuang's purpose for coming was the same as Xue You's, both wanting to exchange for some Good Fortune spiritual treasures. Due to the good relationship between Azure Hill Hall and Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the negotiations between the two sides went smoothly, and they agreed to trade after leaving.

Several other cultivators came over, both young and old, and Yu Binghua gave each of them the answers they wanted.

In this exchange, a temporary alliance was formed.

"...You three ignorant brats, wait for me when you go out!"

Su Zhengji's face darkened from a distance, secretly vowing revenge. These three juniors from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had gained too many benefits this time. If they were allowed to return alive, it would be unacceptable. It was likely that within a few years, this sect would have three additional Golden Immortal experts, or even...

But looking around, there were no surviving subordinates by his side. They had all been unable to withstand the pressure and were forced to withdraw. With only himself and unable to use cultivation above the Immortal Transformation realm, how could he keep these three juniors?

Not to mention, those cultivators who sought their help would definitely not stand on Shadow Assassin Temple's side. If they were to take action, they would only end up at a disadvantage.

After waiting for a while, a circular light gate with a diameter of more than ten zhang slowly appeared, solidifying.

"Can we finally leave?"

The surviving cultivators felt relieved. They had persevered all the way until now and were indeed mentally exhausted, despite the benefits they had gained.

So everyone stood up, guarding and alerting each other, and one by one, they walked into the light gate.

Qin Muling and the others were the fastest to act, disappearing into the light gate in the first batch, leaving Su Zhengji no time to react.

Outside, there were still familiar mountains, but Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda was nowhere to be seen. Only the light gate remained in its place.

"...Junior Martial Brother, you finally came out?!"

A voice of surprise came, and when Qin Muling looked up, he saw Xue Bingxuan and the others floating in mid-air, their clear and beautiful eyes filled with concern.

On the ground around them, there were still many injured cultivators, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, indicating that many people had died just now.

With a quick glance, Qin Muling understood what his senior sisters had done. No wonder they hadn't come in to meet him after arriving. It turned out they were waiting outside, eliminating all the hostile forces.

"Senior sister, it's like this..."

Cheng Yulan quickly explained the situation with her divine sense. Since they had already formed a deadly feud with Shadow Assassin Temple, they had to see it through to the end.

Xue Bingxuan nodded slightly, "It's alright, you've done well. Since the people from Shadow Assassin Temple have come in, there's no need to go back. Let's just wipe them all out!"

So, the women surrounded the light gate from a distance. Whenever someone from the hostile forces came out, they were bombarded with various powerful divine abilities, annihilating them one by one. Except for those who had a life-saving jade talisman, no one could escape.

When Su Zhengji's figure appeared, all he saw was countless sharp sword lights filling his vision, tearing his body apart.

"Bastards, I will never let you off!"

Activating a self-triggered life-saving jade talisman, his tattered body quickly ascended and fled into the distance, leaving behind a series of resentful curses that echoed from afar.
