I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Dharma Pavilion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The appearance of the Dharma Pavilion was very ordinary. It looked like a three-story building in the mortal world. There were weeds everywhere, as if no one had been here for a long time.

The door of the small building was tightly shut. Only the two jade-green palace lamps at the door that were lit in the middle of the day revealed dark green lights that illuminated the area, making it look a little strange.

Pei Ling looked around and did not see any guards. There were even birds nesting under the eaves, as if it was an ordinary uninhabited pavilion.

His trust in Zheng Jingshan had been reduced. As the saying went, Jiao Ni’s action represented Fairy Li’s intentions, so no one dared to find trouble with him… Pei Ling felt that it was not too reliable.

After all, Zhou Yi was the younger brother of core disciple Zhou. Didn’t he die under his saber?

In a life and death situation, deterring a core disciple might not be a useful strategy.

Moreover, he was confused about his relationship with Fairy Li.

Pei Ling imagined himself as Fairy Li. As a core disciple of the Holy Sect, her status was noble. If a female cultivator from a small family came to forcefully dual cultivate with him, then he… That did not seem like a bad thing.

Moreover, it was not impossible to consider giving him some benefits after sleeping with him and taking care of him.

Pei Ling’s expression darkened. Could that be what Fairy Li was thinking… So it was not him who slept with Fairy Li, but Fairy Li who slept with him?

Holy sh*t.

At the thought of this, he suddenly felt that he had suffered a loss.

After all, that was the virginity he had painstakingly guarded for 18 years! 1

How could Fairy Li not be responsible for him?

That was what he thought. He did not dare to ask Fairy Li for compensation. In short, on the Corpse Cloud that returned to the outer sect, Pei Ling was racking his brains to think of how to ensure his safety next.

He had the Bone Forging Art, the Blood Malevolence Saber Art, the Blood Spiraling… Ah no, the Blood Ghost Escape Technique.

In terms of survival rate, he still lacked a recovery spell.

Pei Ling watched from the door for a moment before walking over tentatively.

When he was three steps away from the door, the lamp in the palace suddenly lit up, and a powerful force swept through his body.

This power was drawn but not released, as if it could crush him into powder at any time, making his hair stand on end.

However, when it touched the nameplate he carried with him, it instantly disappeared.

At the same time, the lights dimmed out as if nothing had happened. The door of the Dharma Pavilion opened silently.

There was no scenery inside the door, only endless darkness.

Pei Ling composed himself and walked in with the nameplate.

When he crossed the threshold, he seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier that was like water. In front of him was an extremely vast hall.

The hall was empty without much furnishings. On the left was a staircase that led up, and on the innermost wall were three doors. The place closest to Pei Ling had a stone tablet that was more than the height of a person. The phosphorescence on it flickered as characters were engraved on it.

He looked around and took the lead to walk to the stone tablet. He saw that it was the relevant explanation of the Dharma Pavilion.

There were a total of three levels in the outer sect’s Dharma Pavilion. Disciples from the first level to the third level of Qi Refinement could only enter the first level. Disciples from the fourth level to the sixth level of Qi Refinement could enter the second level. Disciples above the seventh level of Qi Refinement could enter the third level. Each level was divided into three areas: cultivation technique, spell, and technique.

In addition, if he did not spend any money after entering the pavilion for more than two hours, he would be forcefully thrown out by the array formation. Moreover, he would not be able to enter any of the outer sect’s Dharma Pavilions for the next 10 days.

If he did this too often, he would be fined spirit stones.

In addition, no noise or fighting was allowed in the pavilion. Moreover, the cultivation techniques and spells that everyone bought were not allowed to be spread.

If anyone violated this rule, they would be fined 10 times the price if they reported it to a disciple of the sect. If they reported it to someone outside the sect, their cultivation level would be recovered, and their bones and souls would be torn apart and turned into materials.

In that case, could it be that skills can be taught to outsiders? Pei Ling thought to himself. This shouldn’t be a loophole. Is this intentional? 1

Recalling that the only benefit of the Holy Sect was to teach the basics of various skills, he felt that his guess should be correct.

As for why the Deep Sea Sect did this, Pei Ling did not have the mood to think about it at the moment. He read the inscription quickly and could not wait to go to the second floor.

After all, the system could actively record various cultivation techniques, spells, and techniques!

Even if it could only be used for cultivation after it was recorded, he would have profited greatly if he could not see the specific records.

With such beautiful expectations, Pei Ling excitedly took three steps forward and rushed into the spell area on the second floor.

This was a magnificent palace that looked completely different from the outside of the Dharma Pavilion.

There were at least 40 to 50 feet tall red pillars lined up, and countless red ropes hung down from the roof of the hall.

There were many different types of paper money strung on the rope, and at the end was a skull.

Each skull had a book in its mouth.

According to the explanation of the inscription, the paper money strung on the red string was the price of the ancient book. Each piece represented 100 spirit stones.

After stuffing the nameplate into the left eye of the skull, a general introduction would automatically appear on the cover of the book. If one wanted to exchange for it, one could place enough spirit stones into the right eye of the skull. The content would be entered into the nameplate within two breaths.

System? Pei Ling walked in and realized that the system was indifferent. He immediately felt that his thoughts might fail.

He did not give up and asked in his mind, “System? Come out and work.”

The system did not respond.

… Alright, it failed.

Pei Ling was a little disappointed. Then he casually checked the ancient books in the mouths of the nearby skulls.

[Blood Ignition Art]: Consumes blood essence and erupts with strength that exceeds one’s original cultivation level in a short period of time. The disadvantage is that one’s vitality will be greatly damaged after using it. If one’s foundation is insufficient or even damaged, it will leave behind a lifetime of trouble. One needs to cultivate the Qi and Blood Pill for 5,000 spirit stones.

[Heart Bewitching Technique]: A mental attack that is impossible to guard against. It is extremely difficult to cultivate. It requires the use of a soul cultivation technique and the consumption of a Soul Accumulation Pill to cultivate. 7,500 spirit stones.

What kind of techniques are these?

Pei Ling decisively pulled out his nameplate and looked elsewhere.

After searching for a while, he saw a few familiar ones.

[Five Poison Finger]: One-hit kill, like a maggot in the bone. If the user’s cultivation level is insufficient and there is no antidote, he will turn into a pile of blood within an hour. It requires the use of a poison cultivation technique and five types of poisonous pills to cultivate. 4,700 spirit stones.

[Green Ghost Battle Body]: Summon the Green Ghost Possession. Your strength will increase greatly, your defense will increase greatly, and your mental defense will increase greatly. After you master it, you can comprehend the Green Ghost Mystical Power. Your growth rate is extremely high. You need to combine it with body-tempering cultivation techniques, the remnant soul of the Green Ghost, and consume Bone Tempering Pills. 8,000 spirit stones.

[Ghost Controlling Technique]: Cultivate and refine ghosts. To control ghosts for your own use, you need to guide the fragrance of the soul, cultivate the soul nourishing bag, and soul crystal. 3,500 spirit stones.

Pei Ling continued walking forward. Due to the two-hour limit, he did not have the time to finish reading all the books. In the end, he vacillated between three spells.

The first was the recovery technique that he had been longing for, the [Life Absorption Technique]. This technique could enable one to recover from one’s injuries and replenish one’s blood essence, and it was extremely effective. The price was relatively friendly, only 1,800 spirit stones.

The problem was that it would plunder the vitality of all living beings around it.

Moreover, the introduction of the ancient book stated that if one cultivated in the Holy Sect, they would face a high fine if the vegetation around their residence withered to a certain extent.

Next was the [Blood Boiling Art]. This technique was different from the [Blood Ignition Art]. It did not harm one’s foundation and could allow one’s combat strength to increase explosively in two hours. The power of one’s strength, speed, reaction speed, and other spells would increase greatly. After it ended, one would be in a weakened state for four hours. The problem was that one had to cooperate with the blood cultivation technique and consume the Blood Essence Pill to cultivate.

And it is too f*cking expensive!

6,800 spirit stones!

The last one was the [Withering Heart Technique] that he had not considered at first but had attracted his attention with its low price.
