I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

This guy is simply asking for too much.

Pei Ling cursed inwardly. 15 supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills. Even if I hand them to Zheng Jingshan, I'd get 10,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.

This amount is enough for me to hire a Foundation Establishment expert from the inner sect. Do I need to find an eighth-stage Qi Refinement cultivator?

"Senior Brother Zhao, how precious these supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills are! I only have this many." Pei Ling was troubled. "Let's talk about it in the future."

"Junior Brother Pei, ignore him." Seeing this, the eyes of the black-robed male cultivator sitting beside Zhao Chang'an flashed. He suddenly said, "He's just a mere Shao Ningzhi. Why would you need to give 15 supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills? I only need 12, and I promise to help you get rid of him. How about that?"

The female cultivator surnamed Li raised her eyebrows. "12? Aren't you treating Junior Brother Pei as an outsider?"

She turned to Pei Ling and smiled sweetly. As she stroked her hair, she said softly, "Junior Brother, it's fate that we're on the same team today. We're all family. Senior Sister won't treat us like fat sheep like the two of them. As long as you give me 10 supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills, I guarantee that you and Junior Sister Jin can do whatever you want. Shao Ningzhi will never disturb you!"

"10? I…" Seeing that the female cultivator surnamed Wang was about to join the bidding, Pei Ling felt a headache coming on. He laughed dryly and hurriedly said," Forgive me for my clumsiness, but I wonder how I should address my senior brothers and sisters? "

These fellow disciples are so f*cking realistic!

"Oh? Junior Brother Pei, you still don't know our names?" The female cultivator surnamed Wang immediately blamed Lu Luqiang and said angrily, "Junior Sister Lu, this is your fault. You were the one who brought Junior Brother Pei here. We thought you had already told him. Who knew that you, his senior sister, would be so incompetent?"

Before Lu Luqiang could retort, she had already started introducing everyone to Pei Ling with a smile.

The female cultivator's full name was Wang Jiaoniang. She was at the eighth level of Qi Refinement and was a disciple of the Flying Skull Peak. The female cultivator with the surname Li was called Li Xiaqing. She was at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refinement and was a disciple of the Blood Tide Peak. The gray-robed cultivator, Zhao Chang'an, was at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refinement. Like Wang Jiaoniang, he was also a disciple of the Flying Skull Peak. The black-robed male cultivator, Zhou Chengfeng, was at the eighth level of Qi Refinement and was a disciple of the White Bone Peak. The male cultivator who had just arrived with Li Xiaqing was Xu Zhen. He was at the eighth level of Qi Refinement and was a disciple of the Blood Pupil Peak.

As for Zhang Shuo, he was at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refinement and the strongest person in the entire team. He lived in Cold Abyss Peak, where everyone had set off.

Lu Luqiang, like Jin Sumian, belonged to Elegance Peak.

Pei Ling noted them down one by one and announced that he was from Shady Sophora Peak.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they heard this.

Pei Ling noticed that and some questions arose, but the most important thing now was to figure out what was going on with the Han Mansion.

He thanked Wang Jiaoniang and greeted everyone again. He asked, "I saw this mission at the Miscellaneous Committee not long ago. At the time, it only required cultivators above the sixth level of Qi Refinement, and the reward was only a few hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones. But why are there so many experts participating now?"

"Junior Brother Pei, when you saw it, the first batch of disciples who accepted the mission had already been wiped out, but the news had yet to reach the sect." Zhao Chang'an chuckled. "So the reward was only a few hundred spirit stones. The requirements were not high.

But in recent days, there have been four consecutive batches of cultivators who have failed in this mission.

None in the first three batches survived.

There were only 11 cultivators in the latest fourth batch. There were seven above the seventh level of Qi Refinement. Before they set off, they even prepared a large number of pills and talismans. However, only the leader, He Yi, escaped alone with injuries.

As for He Yi, his strength is about the same as mine. After he returned to the sect, he barely said a few words and fainted. He's still unconscious.

Therefore, although the cultivation requirement for this mission is still above the sixth level of Qi Refinement, the reward has already increased to 10,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones."

The cultivator at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refinement barely escaped back to the sect and is still unconscious?

What the f*ck is this?

Pei Ling's heart turned cold as he probed, "But with so many senior brothers and sisters going together this time, I think it will definitely be easy. It won't take much effort, right?"

"It's not that simple," Zhao Chang'an explained. "The Han Manor has declined now, but there was a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm in the early years. A hundred years ago, one of their family heads was rumored to be extremely talented. He once tried to break through to the upper third-grade Golden Core realm, but unfortunately, his efforts were in vain and he died. From then on, the Han Manor could not recover from its setback. So far, no descendant has been able to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

Finally, an outstanding disciple appeared in this generation. It's Senior Brother Han Sigu of the Blood Tide Peak. This senior brother's talent was outstanding. After he entered the sect, his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds. Ten years ago, he reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

At that time, there was an opportunity in the Ten Thousand Fathoms Sea. It was said to be related to the Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment.

The disciples of the various sects at the Qi Refinement realm acted upon hearing the news, and Senior Brother Han was no exception.

It was just that for some reason, that opportunity disappeared in the end, and many people died because of it. At that time, Senior Brother Han was actually quite outstanding. He killed so many people with the Blood River Sword Art that blood flowed like a river, increasing the prestige of our Holy Sect!

He thought that even if he couldn't obtain the opportunity, he could return to the sect to obtain the Earth Dao Foundation.

However, unexpectedly, after that storm gradually dissipated, Senior Brother Han never appeared again.

After that, the Han Manor clan, which had finally recovered a little, deteriorated again.

There were originally many similar families, but no one paid attention to them.

However, to everyone's surprise, just a few months ago, the entire Han family was massacred overnight without any warning…"

As Pei Ling listened to his story, his expression gradually turned serious.

The Han clan had actually been weak in recent years, or rather, very weak.

However, it was a family with a peak-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, and that peak-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator lived less than a hundred years ago.

To cultivators, there were many people from the same era as that peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, even Qi Refinement realm cultivators.

Therefore, although the people in this manor, other than the missing Han Sigu, could not withstand the single blow, the many array formations, traps, and defenses of the manor could not be underestimated.

Moreover, this did not include the talismans and Dharma artifacts that the family head at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm had left for his descendants.

In short, the encounters of the first four batches of cultivators proved the dangers of this manor.

"Senior Brother Zhao, the mission reward of 10,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones seems to be quite a lot." Pei Ling pondered for a moment and said, "But with so many people sharing, it doesn't seem like much."

"Of course." Zhao Chang'an could not help but laugh. He said, "However, no one cares about the reward of 10,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones for accepting this mission. What everyone values is actually the treasure vault of the Han Manor.

Before He Yi fainted, he said that a large number of cultivation techniques, spells, medicinal herbs, and cultivation insights were gathered in the treasure vault of the Han Manor.

Perhaps it's because after that family head passed away a hundred years ago, there had never been a Foundation Establishment cultivator. So they have the most records and speculations about how to build a Dao Foundation.

Therefore, our true goal in this mission is the cultivation insights in the Han Manor's treasure vault. The most important thing is the Foundation Establishment pill formula and…

One of the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Redbeard Vine."
