I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Alchemy Interlude

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Half a day later, Pei Ling went straight to the alchemy room after purchasing some items at the Elixir Peak Market.

He had collected a lot of medicinal herbs this time. He then considered the time to cultivate and planned to rent it for 10 days first.

!!
However, before it was his turn, someone squeezed over from behind and shouted while wiping his sweat, “Pei Ling!”

Pei Ling recognized Pei Hongnian’s voice and turned around in surprise. “Senior, what is it?”

“Come with me for a while.” Pei Hongnian pulled him to a quiet place and said in a low voice, “I have something to entrust to you. You must help!”

“Tell me what it is first.” Pei Ling did not comment. He felt that his relationship with this cousin was average. Last time, the other party was not even willing to lend him 10 spirit stones. If it was a small matter, he would help. If it was more troublesome, he did not have the time.

Pei Hongnian said angrily, “Come back to Shady Sophora Peak with me to see Junior Sister Yinglan.”

“Sun Yinglan?” Pei Ling frowned. “What for?”

“How would I know?” Pei Hongnian said righteously. “Anyway, Junior Sister Yinglan wants to see you. Just go.”

Pei Ling sneered and pushed away the arm that was on his shoulder. “I’m sorry, Senior Brother. I have something on and don’t have time to meet your sweetheart.”

Seeing Pei Hongnian’s dark expression, he asked in confusion, “Why are you so infatuated with that woman?”

Although Deer Spring City was a small place, Pei Ling remembered that the daughters of a few families were not bad-looking.

Sun Yinglan’s beauty was not unique.

Why does this brother have to hang himself on this tree?

Pei Hongnian’s face darkened as he pointed at him and shouted, “You have to go even if you don’t want to!”

“Senior, can you afford to pay the fine for a fight between outer sect disciples?” Pei Ling did not take him seriously at all and said calmly, “It’s your business how you want to flatter Sun Yinglan. I’m not interested in her at all.”

“You…” Pei Hongnian was furious. Just as he was about to say something, someone not far away suddenly said,” Pei Ling, if you don’t give your brother face, don’t you want to know the outcome of Chen Huan’s matter?”

Pei Ling’s pupils constricted. He turned around and saw the gorgeously dressed Sun Yinglan walking over slowly. She said in a low voice, “The people from the Disciplinary Hall who went to Spiraling Mountain City to investigate will be back tomorrow. Pei Ling, do you really think no one knows what you’ve done?”

“Junior Sister Yinglan, why are you here personally?” Pei Hongnian could not help but be stunned when he saw her.

Sun Yinglan ignored him and walked to Pei Ling. She said slowly, “Pei Ling, I want to see you for your own good.”

“I’m not meeting you for your own good.” Pei Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He said calmly, “Senior Sister is a smart person. You should know that I’m not my senior brother. I won’t fall for your tricks! If you keep pestering me, I’m afraid everyone will lose face.”

“Go further away.” Sun Yinglan turned around and instructed Pei Hongnian.

Seeing that he seemed to be unwilling to dawdle, her expression darkened as he berated, “You’re like trash. Get lost!”

After chasing Pei Hongnian away, she changed to a gentle expression and nodded slightly at Pei Ling. “That’s right. I know that you’re not a lecherous piece of trash like Pei Hongnian, so I don’t plan to deal with you the same way that I deal with him. Let me tell you about the benefits. The Pei family in Deer Spring City is insignificant in the Holy Sect. As your senior, I can’t support you in terms of cultivation level and strength.

So in the long run, it’s best if you join a faction.

You’re so well-informed that you have someone backing you up when something happens.”

Pei Ling’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked at Pei Hongnian in the distance and thought to himself, Could it be that this senior brother has ulterior motives for pestering Sun Yinglan?

After all, he had not met many people from the living world since he entered the sect.

It makes no sense that Pei Hongnian is really a bootlicker.

And he’s boot-licking such a low-level girl?

Seeing his silence, Sun Yinglan’s smile deepened. She took a step forward and fell into his arms. “Junior Brother, do you think…”

Before she could finish, Pei Ling had already vigilantly moved back a distance. His spiritual power surged, ready to strike. He said in a low voice, “Senior Sister, do you mean that you’re here to invite me on behalf of a certain faction?”

He did not have any good impression of Sun Yinglan, nor did he trust her at all. When he noticed that she seemed to be using various methods to rub against him, he instinctively suspected that she wanted to kill him.

While he was moving, he quietly adjusted the Life-Extinguishing Blade to a convenient position to draw it.

After all, Pei Ling did not feel safe in a sect that could solve everything with spirit stones. Miao Cheng’an and the other two’s actions made him believe that if the situation was not right, he had to attack with all his might!

“I’m representing myself.” Sun Yinglan’s expression froze. She held back her anger and stood firm. She winked at him and said sweetly, “For example, if Junior Brother is interested in Spiraling Mountain City, I can tell you the results of the Disciplinary Hall’s investigation now.”

She said this to show Pei Ling that she was well-informed.

However, Pei Ling had already latched onto Zheng Jingshan’s thigh, so he was naturally unmoved at this moment. He spat, “Senior Sister, if there’s nothing else, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you.”

He was about to leave.

“Stop right there!” Sun Yinglan’s expression darkened as she opened her arms to block him. She shouted, “Pei Ling, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you were lucky enough to enter the Holy Sect? Let me tell you, there are many outer sect disciples in the Holy Sect. You’re just the most inconspicuous one among them.

If you’re a loner and self-righteous, you’ll definitely regret it!”

Seeing that Pei Ling ignored her and wanted to leave, Sun Yinglan was shocked. She went forward and hugged him. “You…”

Before she could finish his sentence, she realized that she was pushed away by a strong force!

Pei Ling threw her out decisively. With a flip of his wrist, he had already pulled out the Life-Extinguishing Blade. He faced her warily and retreated step by step to a distance that he thought she could not ambush him. Only then did he turn around and leave in a hurry.

“Junior Sister Yinglan!” In the distance, Pei Hongnian watched them intently. When he saw this scene, he could not help but be shocked. For a moment, he did not bother to stop Pei Ling and hurriedly went forward to help Sun Yinglan. “Junior Sister, are you alright?”

Sun Yinglan bent down and stared at Pei Ling’s back. She suddenly grabbed his collar and shouted hysterically, “How is it? Didn’t you see? Pei Ling molested me!”

Pei Hongnian was stunned. “But…”

“But what?” Sun Yinglan sneered. “He molested me and I pulled him to detain him, but he actually attacked me… You just watched from the side and did nothing? Are you still a man?!”

“Junior Sister, don’t be angry. I… I’ll report this to the Disciplinary Hall now.” Pei Hongnian was at a loss and said subconsciously, “When the time comes, the sect…”

Sun Yinglan scolded, “You piece of trash! What’s the point of reporting it to the Disciplinary Hall? It’s just punishing him with some spirit stones. The Disciplinary Hall will collect the spirit stones and not compensate me. When the matter gets out, everyone will laugh at me. Are you satisfied?”

As she spoke, she started crying again. “On account of you, I thought that although he was rash and rude, he was still your younger brother. So when I heard about Spiraling Mountain City, I planned to reveal some information to him so that he could avoid this calamity. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect him to be so crazy!”

Seeing Pei Hongnian looking at her blankly as if he did not know what to do, she felt bitter and her tears fell even faster. “You good-for-nothing, you don’t care about me at all.

If you really have me in your heart, remember this well. It was Pei Ling who molested me, do you hear me?!”

Pei Ling could not be bothered with the story between his cousin and the scrounger. He queued up again and asked for a D-grade alchemy room. After entering, he checked his surroundings as usual. After confirming that there were no problems, he moved the original alchemy furnace in the alchemy room to a corner and replaced it with the alchemy furnace that Zheng Jingshan had given him for free.

Then, he checked the herbs he had just bought carefully before calling the system in his mind. “System, I want to refine pills!”
