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

Chapter 118: List

Immortal Lord Yun Miao remained silent for a while before speaking, "It seems that the news from the Daoist Court is quite well-informed."

Tang Ruoxuan smiled faintly, "Not entirely. The main reason is that your sect's recent actions have attracted a lot of attention. As a result, everything related to her is now being closely watched by many important figures in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, including her several direct disciples."

"Qin Muling, right? Being able to make the sect leader break the tradition and accept him as a disciple must mean that he has some extraordinary qualities. Especially since you have protected him so well, to the point that even I am somewhat tempted by the generous reward offered through certain secret channels."

"So my sect's founder specifically instructed me to meet him at an appropriate time, establish a good relationship in advance, and make future dealings easier."

Immortal Lord Yun Miao fell into contemplation, while Immortal Lord Feng Hua said, "Fellow Daoist is quite frank. If it's just a meeting and a few words, it's not a problem. However..."

Tang Ruoxuan said, "You can rest assured that I won't engage in any behavior that undermines your relationship. And as long as you agree to this matter, I will do my best to persuade my sect founder to extend the ceasefire for another fifty years. This sincerity should be enough, right?"

The ceasefire order was issued by the Daoist Court, which meant that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the surrounding Supreme Sects were not allowed to engage in direct warfare within a hundred years. Proxy wars between vassal forces were not included in the restrictions.

To obtain this ceasefire order, the high-level members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace made various efforts and paid a considerable price in order to gain enough peaceful time to repair the main body of the giant land.

For high-level cultivators, a mere hundred years is nothing. Of course, at this point in time, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace still greatly needs this period of peaceful development. If there is a chance to extend it for another fifty years, it would be even better.

Immortal Lord Yun Miao's expression eased, "I believe in Fellow Daoist's sincerity. However, I still need to report this matter to the sect leader. As long as she has no objections, it will be settled. Fellow Daoist may have to wait a little longer."

Anything related to Qin Muling cannot be considered a trivial matter. It must be decided by the sect leader Mu Yinghua herself.

Tang Ruoxuan nodded, "That's only natural."

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the high platform by the square, Qin Muling leisurely enjoyed fine wine and food, watching the inner disciples who had completed their trials come out in groups from the light gate. Some disciples were injured, looking dejected with bloodstains on their robes.

Of course, regardless of their rankings, it was fortunate for them to return alive. The truly unlucky ones were the disciples who perished in the Grotto-Heaven world. Some disciples were seriously injured, damaging their foundations, and they would never have a chance to cultivate again. They would spend the rest of their lives as ordinary people.

The rankings had long been announced. In addition to the list of the top 800, the following 3,000 disciples also had their rankings displayed, allowing them to have an accurate understanding of their own strength and performance. They would go back and continue to cultivate and strive harder.

"Young Junior Brother..."

Xue Bingxuan handed over the jade plaque that recorded the list, her clear eyes filled with anticipation. Cheng Yulan, Luo Wanqing, and other senior sisters also gathered around.

Qin Muling understood what she meant. She was asking her to take charge and select a group of disciples with good potential and strong fortunes to gather under the sect leader's name.

This is a normal practice in any sect. New core disciples from outside usually do not have a formal mentor, so they often choose to attach themselves to a powerful faction. This gives the opportunity for senior core disciples and elders to manage their influence and expand their power.

For ambitious women like Senior Sister, who aspire to become the next sect leader, this is particularly important. When they come across suitable candidates, they will definitely try to recruit them.

Qin Muling thought for a moment and communicated with her using divine consciousness: "We shouldn't make it too obvious, right? The elders are watching. If you ask for too many people, they definitely won't agree."

Xue Bingxuan nodded: "Of course, so you don't need to look at the first two hundred names. Let them have those. You just focus on the rest. If there are suitable candidates, remind Senior Sister, and you don't need to worry about the rest. I will handle it."

"That's easy."

Qin Muling agreed, activated her Divine Ability, and began to examine the names on the list.

As soon as her divine consciousness fell on a name, all the information about that person would appear. Their background, aptitude, the cultivation technique they practiced, their Law Weapon, and any special abilities they possessed were not secrets.

Then there were their luck, destiny, and potential, which belonged to the realm of heavenly secrets. Even if there were powerful individuals skilled in divination, they couldn't see everything clearly and accurately. At most, they could make a rough estimation.

In Qin Muling's perception, the names on the list changed color one by one. Each name was shrouded in varying amounts of mist, some more and exceptionally bright, while others had less and were dim.

Moreover, this was not directly related to their ranking. Some names near the top were covered in gray-black mist, indicating that they were likely to encounter unexpected calamities in the future. On the other hand, some names ranked lower were shining brightly, indicating that they would likely have extraordinary opportunities and stand out in the future.

After an hour, all the disciples returned and gathered in the square. The gate to the sect closed.

Xue Bingxuan stood up and gave a brief instruction before starting to distribute the rewards on the list.

As the steward next to him loudly announced the names, the chosen disciples stepped forward and received their rewards, pills, and Law Weapons from Senior Sister.

The first person on the list this time was named Lan Qingyin. Needless to say, she was a stunning beauty with a slender waist and long legs. She was surrounded by a sharp Sword Intent, just like Qi Yalan, who also chose the path of sword cultivation.

Qin Muling was not surprised by this. Sword cultivators inherently had stronger offensive power compared to cultivators who chose other paths. Moreover, their cultivation progressed relatively faster. It was normal for them to have certain advantages in this kind of practical combat training.

Furthermore, she received a Xuanqing Creation Spirit Pill, which would undoubtedly greatly enhance her future cultivation. As long as she didn't fall midway, she would inevitably step into the realm of Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension in due time.

Qin Muling glanced at her and then shifted her gaze away. This outstanding talent had long been reserved by a certain important figure within the sect. It was impossible to compete for Senior Sister's position as the future sect leader. Even the big shots from other factions wouldn't agree to it.

She continued to compare the names on the list and calmly observed the disciples in the field. This face-to-face observation allowed her to fully utilize her innate talent, Divine Ability, and come up with the most accurate results possible.

The cost, however, was the rapid consumption of her spiritual power. Before long, she felt dizzy and exhausted, even more so than if she had fought Luo Wanqing, her fourth senior sister, all night.

When all the rewards were distributed, Qin Muling had a complete list in her mind.
