I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

“Huh?” Jin Sumian stopped taking off her clothes. The talisman suddenly turned into a skull. It said in a clear female voice, “Junior Sister, there’s news of the Foundation Establishment pill formula you want!”

Jin Sumian was stunned for a moment before she was overjoyed. “Senior Sister Luqiang, really? Where is it? How much did the other party offer?”

Over the years, she had already studied most of the medicinal pills for the Qi Refinement realm. She had yet to obtain the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This was because the Hundred Treasures Pavilion did not sell the pill formulas for special pills like the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Only after providing them with a considerable number of refined pills would they be qualified to exchange for formulas.

However, the problem was that although Jin Sumian was already the most famous genius alchemist in the outer sect, and her success rate was extremely high, she still had to cultivate. It was impossible for her to refine pills for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion without rest.

Back then, when she entered the sect with Lu Luqiang and the others, she had the best aptitude. But now, among the four of them, she had the lowest cultivation level because she had spent too much time refining pills.

Therefore, while Jin Sumian continued to refine pills and complete the Hundred Treasures Pavilion’s mission, she asked someone to find clues about the Foundation Establishment Pill formula.

If she could obtain the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill from the outside world, then there was no need for her to be a tool for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

“Junior Sister, it’s not a matter of price. It’s just that the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill is in the Han Manor,” Lu Luqiang said in a low voice. “This is the news brought back by the last batch of people who accepted the mission to the Han Manor. I’ve already confirmed it. It’s very credible.

Moreover, there’s a Redbeard Vine in the villa.”

Jin Sumian quickly asked, “Then who has these things?”

“It’s not in anyone’s hands,” Lu Luqiang said. “Junior Sister, you’ve been in seclusion to refine pills during this period of time, so you don’t know that the mission of the Han Family Villa has failed four times in a row. If there’s another time, they’ll die in the inner sect. The people who went the first three times were all wiped out. They couldn’t even convey a word. Recently, because Senior Brother He Yi was among them, he was lucky to escape and return to the sect with injuries.”

“What?” Jin Sumian was shocked. “Senior Brother He Yi advanced to the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refinement two years ago. It’s said that he’s about to reach the ninth level of Qi Refinement. He personally took action, but he actually couldn’t complete it and even returned with injuries.”

Lu Luqiang said, “That’s right. So this time, many people plan to accept this mission. As far as I know, there are already at least three teams that can set off in a few days. I’ve already joined Senior Brother Zhang Shuo’s group and will set off the day after tomorrow. Senior Brother Zhang Shuo promised that if you’re willing to refine two Foundation Establishment Pills for him, the Foundation Establishment Pill formula and the Redbeard Vine will be yours.

This senior brother is already at the ninth level of Qi Refinement. In terms of strength, he has a chance of obtaining a ranking in the outer sect competition.

If we follow him, not only will we have a considerable guarantee of safety, but there’s also a high chance of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe and the Redbeard Vine.”

“If you’re interested, you might as well consider it.”

Jin Sumian thought for a moment and nodded. “In that case, Senior Sister, please help me tell Senior Brother Zhang Shuo that I’m willing to join his team.”

“Alright.” Lu Luqiang was delighted when she heard that. She smiled and said, “I’ll tell Senior Brother Zhang Shuo now. Oh right, this mission at the Han Family Manor is not simple. Although Senior Brother Zhang Shuo is leading the team, it’s better for us to be careful. How about this? When you’re free, I’ll come to your cave abode and tell you the general situation in person.”

“Senior Sister, you can come over tomorrow morning.” Jin Sumian calculated the time she needed to temper her body and said readily, “I’ve already finished refining pills this time. I’m not busy anymore.”

Lu Luqiang said, “Then it’s settled. I’ll look for you tomorrow morning.”

With that, the flames on the talisman slowly extinguished and returned to the original spot.

“It seems that it’s a blessing in disguise.” Jin Sumian smiled and muttered to herself, “I didn’t expect to receive such good news just as I lost the Cold Marrow Fire... It seems that it’s not necessarily a bad thing that the Cold Marrow Fire is gone... Bah! How dare he snatch my opportunity. I definitely can’t let him off.”

She happily took off her clothes and glanced at the dark Nine Nether Cold Spring Water. Without any hesitation, she immersed her body in it.

Cold!

So cold!

The moment Jin Su fell asleep, her smile froze.

The Nine Nether Cold Spring Water was as its name suggested. The moment she entered, Jin Sumian felt as if she had been frozen into an ice sculpture.

Not only did her body feel cold, but most importantly, her thoughts seemed to have frozen. Every thought was difficult to process.

At the same time, her entire body felt like it was being stabbed by thousands of small knives. The pain was endless.

As expected of something on par with the Cold Marrow Fire... Jin Sumian’s entire body trembled uncontrollably in extreme pain, but she was not afraid. Instead, she was filled with anticipation. She thought to herself, After tempering my body tonight, I will definitely advance to the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

As she thought of this, she held her breath and focused. She forced herself to ignore the pain in the outside world. Her spiritual power circulated as she began to cultivate in the cold spring water.

As the cultivation technique circulated, the pores on Jin Sumian’s body became enlarged as she greedily absorbed the essence of the Nine Nether Cold Spring Water.

As time passed, the spiritual power in her meridians became more and more abundant. Jin Sumian was immersed in the comfort and stability brought by the increase in her strength when a ghostly figure suddenly jumped into the cave abode!

At first, Jin Sumian thought that she had sensed wrongly. When she opened her eyes, she saw a slightly familiar male cultivator suddenly appear not far away. She could not help but be dumbfounded.

Although her cave abode was set up for the convenience of refining pills on Elixir Peak, there were a total of six array formations set up around it.

Unless Jin Sumian took the initiative to open the door from the inside, even if she came in herself, she would have to use her nameplate to open it to ensure that she did not trigger any array formations and enter safely.

How strong was the other party to be able to sneak in without anyone noticing?

Before Jin Sumian could react, she saw something that made her eyes pop out-

The male cultivator reached out and grabbed the superior jade pill on the table!

Stop!!! Jin Sumian roared in her heart. If not for the fact that she was at a critical moment in her body tempering and could not move, she would have jumped out immediately and smashed this guy’s head.

She had worked hard for so long and wasted almost a thousand furnaces. This was the symbol of her improvement in the Alchemy Dao, the condensation of her hard work over the past few days. It was her... The male cultivator did not hesitate to stuff the jade pill into his mouth.

“Ding-Dong!” The system notification was as calm as ever. “The superior-grade jade pill has been gifted. The system will continue to cultivate for you...”

Pei Ling was dumbfounded.

However, the system clearly did not intend to let him off.

The next moment, he turned around 90 degrees and faced the shocked and furious owner of the cave abode. “Ding Dong! The system has detected an environment suitable for breaking through...

Ding-dong! The system will give you more than half of the Nine Nether Cold Spring Water for free...”

Pei Ling strode to the bathtub. Under Jin Sumian’s dumbfounded gaze, he took off all his clothes and jumped in with a bang. The ripples almost caused Jin Sumian to lose her balance.

But her humiliation was not over.

Pei Ling reached out his hand expressionlessly and pressed it against her face.

He pushed Jin Sumian to a corner like he was pushing away an object that was in the way. Then he openly occupied the center of the bathtub and began to cultivate.

System: “Ding-Dong! The Nine Nether Cold Spring Water has been gifted. The system will continue to cultivate for you...”

“...” Pei Ling was speechless.

Jin Sumian: “!!!!!!”

She could no longer guard her mind. She spat out a mouthful of blood and her spiritual power was in chaos.
