I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 75: Senior Sister Will Remember You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pain, pain, pain, pain!

Pei Ling did not have any thoughts at this moment. His whole consciousness was swept by the pain from the inside out.

Ouyang Xianxing had warned him that the process of absorbing fire into his body was very painful.

However, Pei Ling did not take it seriously.

After all, he had forcefully cultivated the Bone Forging Art to the second level of Qi Refinement without the help of the Bone Tempering Pill or any resources.

Just imagine the difficulty of shattering all the bones in his body and having to divert his attention to circulate his cultivation technique. Therefore, Pei Ling felt that no matter how painful it was to absorb fire into his body, it would not be as painful as cultivating the Bone Forging Art back then.

He was a cultivator who had survived the Bone Forging Art!

However, at this moment, he realized that compared to absorbing fire into his body, cultivating the Bone Forging Art was simply a form of enjoyment.

At least, although the cultivation of the Bone Forging Art was extremely painful at first, it was only the pain in his body. Towards the end, he was even a little used to it.

However, at this moment, the pain seemed to come from the depths of his soul and from his bones.

Pei Ling even thought of the Spirit Integration Technique that the lecturer from Weapon Forging Peak had explained.

He began to understand the demon beasts that had been refined into artifact spirits.

If they suffered the pain he was feeling at the moment, it was only natural for them to submit. It would be strange if they did not.

Calm down! I have to think of something to distract myself! Pei Ling thought with difficulty, This bone-deep pain is indescribable!

Although he would most likely not die under the system’s control, if this continued, he might go crazy!

Think of something? Quick! Think of what?

Fairy Li... Yes! I miss Fairy Li...

So what happened between me and Fairy Li... At that time, I... forcefully pushed her... The exact process was...

Hence, Pei Ling began to recall the details of that day. The indescribable pain in his body seemed to have become much lighter...

The system continued to absorb the Cold Marrow Fire in front of it.

As time passed, bit by bit, under the nervous gazes of Ouyang Xianxing and the other two, Pei Ling’s expression remained calm. Even his muscles did not tense up at all. Surprisingly, he was absorbing the immortal fire at an extremely relaxed and calm pace.

The entire process was smooth and calm, and even had a kind of elegance that only came from extreme proficiency.

This caused another uproar in the hearts of the three inner sect disciples who had just marveled at his talent.

What kind of temperament and will is this?! Although Ouyang Xianxing had been very protective of Pei Ling along the way and did not hesitate to punish her teammate, Xue Ying, it was only because she kept her promises and followed the Branch Master’s orders. She did not have a good impression of Pei Ling.

However, at this moment, her starry eyes were fixed on Pei Ling’s calm expression. She could not help but be moved as she thought to herself, Although I have never personally absorbed the immortal fire, back then, Branch Master had also used the immortal fire to temper his body. At that time, I was protecting him. Branch Master was already at the Foundation Establishment realm and was dignified, but he was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground with tears flowing down his face. 1

It’s said that the Branch Master’s situation was considered relatively decent.

Some people even lost control of their bladder in public because of the pain during this process. They were covered in yellow and white stuff, having totally lost control...

This Pei Ling is actually so calm!

Even if he’s actually in a lot of pain and is only pretending to be calm for the sake of his youth’s dignity, to be able to hide it to this extent shows how tough his will is.

Excellent talent, rock-like willpower... and so young! No wonder the Branch Master is so fond of him. As long as this junior brother doesn’t die midway, he will definitely have a place in the inner sect in the future.

If she were Zheng Jingshan, she would definitely think of ways to allocate resources and nurture such a talent.

At the thought of this, Ouyang Xianxing looked intently at Pei Ling, this outer sect junior brother.

In contrast to her relief, Fang Ji and Xue Ying were so regretful that they wanted to vomit blood.

How is this possible?! Fang Ji roared in his heart. How can there be such a person in the world?! It’s fine if it’s just talent. There are many core disciples in the inner sect and geniuses from other sects. There are many with outstanding talents, but this perseverance... I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!! If this kid is a legitimate son of a prestigious family who has been nurtured since he was young, it’s only natural. He’s clearly a disciple of a small branch family in Deer Spring City. How can he have such talent?

As a disciple, his senior brother has only been in the sect for a few years and is simply trash. He should be the same as that brother. How could he be valued by the Branch Master in such a short time after entering the sect? And how could he refine the Cold Marrow Fire so easily?!

This kid must have cultivated the Fire Receiving Art long ago!

That’s right. He must have practiced it countless times in private. Now, he’s just using us to become famous in one battle and make himself a name in the outer sect so that he can be valued by the higher-ups of the sect...

Fang Ji told himself over and over again that there was definitely something wrong with Pei Ling’s performance.

However, even if Pei Ling had learned the Fire Receiving Art previously, the calmness he displayed at this moment was enough to make him feel suffocated.

If I don’t offend this junior brother and protect him like Ouyang Xianxing, then what will I get in return once he grows up?

But now... Fang Ji’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He even began to put the blame on Xue Ying, who he had a good relationship with.

If not for Xue Ying repeatedly mentioning that the Branch Master was simply confused this time, and that Pei Ling was unworthy of the Double Mulberry Faction paying such a huge price for him, I wouldn’t have disliked Pei Ling from the beginning.

I still have a chance... I still have a chance... Fang Ji wiped his cold sweat and suddenly thought, I’ll expose Senior Brother Xue later and tell Senior Sister Ouyang and Pei Ling that I was deceived by Senior Brother Xue... This Pei Ling is only at the Qi Refinement realm now. He still needs time to enter the inner sect. I’ll take care of him in the future. I’ll be able to turn hostility into friendship.

Besides, I can ask the Branch Master to help plead with Senior Sister Ouyang...

It won’t be a problem!

With this thought, he looked at Xue Ying, who was outside the array.

Meanwhile, Xue Ying was cursing Zheng Jingshan in his heart. Why didn’t you say so directly? If I had known that Branch Master would fight for the Cold Marrow Fire, I would have supported you.

In the end, it’s because the Branch Master doesn’t trust me enough!

Since that’s the case, how can you blame me for siding with someone else?

... Why aren’t Branch Master Miao’s men here yet?

Damn it, is this kid destined to rise up? Seeing how smoothly he absorbed the fire into his body, I’m afraid he’ll be able to subdue the immortal fire in a while... Now that I’m controlled by the Bone Flower, I don’t dare to leave secret tracks for Clear River Faction. When the time comes, Ouyang Xianxing will leave with him. In the vast Gu Abyss, if Clear River Faction can’t find him, won’t he be able to escape and even soar into the sky?!

What should I do?

Xue Ying was at his wit’s end. He was shocked, angry, and jealous. He could only curse continuously, Backlash! The immortal fire is quickly counter-attacking! Damn it, the Cold Marrow Fire is considered a precious immortal fire among eighth-grade immortal fires. Why is it so useless? Even a kid at the Qi Refinement realm can refine it so easily... What an embarrassment.

It deserves to be used by others the moment it’s born!

Pei Ling did not know what he was thinking. He was focused on the process of dual cultivation with Fairy Li. He thought about it over and over again because only then could he resist the pain of the Cold Marrow Fire!

But even so, his entire mind became dizzy and confused...

And because of the system’s control, he retained a trace of consciousness which kept him from fainting.

At this moment, a cooling sensation suddenly came from the depths of his bone marrow.
