I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation-Chapter 22

A weakened Qi blade answered him. Although Miao Cheng’an was at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, his spiritual power was almost exhausted after using the Qi blade multiple times.

“Hold on first!” Miao Cheng’an shouted. “I’ll pick up the saber and chop him to death!”

As he spoke, he ran towards the Life-Extinguishing Blade that had fallen to the ground.

Pei Ling’s gaze turned cold as he rushed towards the Life-Extinguishing Blade as well. However, just as he was about to reach the Life-Extinguishing Blade, Miao Cheng’an suddenly grinned. Another Qi blade appeared on his fingertip and slashed toward the back of his head.

At the critical moment, Pei Ling pressed his left hand against the ground and burst forward. His right hand grabbed the handle of the Life-Extinguishing Blade and swung it behind him!

Clang!

The blade struck the Qi blade, causing Pei Ling’s right hand to go numb as the web between his thumb and index finger split open. However, in such situations, he could not care less. He hurriedly crawled up from the ground and swung his blade towards the three.

After a while, the room was in an utter mess. Li Siguang, Zhou Yi, and Pei Ling were all covered in blood, their skin and flesh lacerated. The worst was Li Siguang, whose right leg got broken by Pei Ling’s kick. A white bone forcibly pierced through his flesh at an awkward angle.

Of course, Pei Ling did not feel well. The wound on his chest shook as blood flowed faster. His back also became lacerated, and the pain was excruciating.

The only person who was slightly better off was Miao Cheng’an. He was mostly fine, with only a lump of blood under his nose.

Still, Miao Cheng’an’s face was ashen!

His cultivation level was at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. Not only was he unable to kill a new disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refinement, but he had also been punched in the nose by the other party. If this were to spread, wouldn’t it be a disgrace?!

More importantly, he was working together with two companions at the fourth level of Qi Refinement!

At this time, Pei Ling was also at the end of his rope. He only managed to stand by using the Life-Extinguishing Blade to support himself. As he gasped for breath, he warily faced the three people.

After a moment, Li Siguang coughed a few times. “You can’t avoid us forever. And you better not think that this matter will be over after today. As long as you’re still in the outer sect, you’ll never have a good time if you don’t hand over the Life-Extinguishing Blade! If you know your place…”

“Then I only need to kill the three of you!” Pei Ling replied. His voice was not loud, but it was cold. “After killing all of you, I’ll destroy all evidence. Who would know that I did it?”

As he spoke, Pei Ling raised the Life-Extinguishing Blade and charged towards the three of them again!

Zhou Yi and Li Siguang’s expressions changed, and they got to their defensive stance. Miao Cheng’an also subconsciously took out a talisman… However, before he could use the talisman, Pei Ling suddenly changed his direction halfway through his charge and sped towards the door at the side, disappearing from the door in the blink of an eye.

Pei Ling ran out of the courtyard. Although he did not hear any sounds of pursuit, he did not dare to stay around there any longer. Pei Ling recalled the locations on the sand table from before and briefly considered whether to find Pei Hongnian. However, he quickly rejected the idea and turned to run towards the back mountain with fewer people around.

After all, judging from the conversation between Li Siguang and the other two, they have no respect for Zheng Jingshan, let alone Pei Hongnian.

Furthermore, if Sun Yinglan was still with Pei Hongnian… It was safer to go to a place with no one around.

About an hour later, the panting Pei Ling stopped in a dense forest.

He had been in and out of Yuanlao Mountain since he was a child and was familiar with spending the night in the forest. At that moment, he walked around and confirmed that there was no one in the vicinity, nor were there any threatening beasts. He finally felt relieved.

At this point, Pei Ling was exhausted, but he still forced himself to use the Life-Extinguishing Blade to clear out a space. Only then did he slowly sit down and wipe his cold sweat with lingering fear.

However, his palm felt sticky. When he looked down, he could see that it was all blood under the starlight.

“Retarded system… evil sect…” Pei Ling’s expression was angry at first before it turned helpless. “My luck is terrible… If not for the ten-day limit, I wouldn’t have gone through all this.”

He took a deep breath and finally recovered some strength. “System, I want to cultivate! I’ll choose the [Blood Malevolence Saber Art], the [Temporary Cultivation—Smart Duration], and then [One-Click Management].”

“Ding Dong! The Smart Cultivation System is at your service!” f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He lost control of his body immediately. He saw himself raise the Life-Extinguishing Blade and slowly assumed a starting position. His body then adopted a fighting stance and began practicing step by step.

At first, his movements were rusty. After two tries, Pei Ling’s body movement became visibly smoother.

As he moved and jumped, the Life-Extinguishing Blade gradually became familiar with the technique. Under the pale starlight, even water could not penetrate the rapidly flashing blade!

Meanwhile, Pei Ling’s body was also familiarizing himself with this saber art at a quick pace.

However, the system sounded again soon. “Ding Dong! Host injured. Continuing to cultivate the Blood Malevolence Saber Art will result in irreversible damage…”

“?!”

Pei Ling was immediately on edge. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

Just as he was thinking that the system was going to give him—no, steal someone’s things—when the system continued to prompt, “Ding Dong! Essence Augmenting Pill detected…”

Then, the system took out the Essence Augmenting Pill from his pocket and swallowed it. “Ding Dong! Essence Augmenting Pill consumed. The system will continue to cultivate for you…”

As the Essence Augmenting Pill entered his stomach, Pei Ling immediately felt a warm current rise from his dantian. As the system cultivated, this warmth rapidly spread to his limbs and bones while his exhausted, injured body recovered.

At the same time, he felt that the blood essence that had condensed in his body was undergoing fascinating changes as he cultivated the Blood Malevolence Saber Art…

Unknowingly in the process, Pei Ling forgot his pain, forgot the enmity with Li Siguang and the other two, and even forgot Fairy Li’s ten-day limit. He became immersed in the joy brought by cultivation, as well as the fulfillment of his steady improvement.

It was until the system sounded again, “Ding dong! Blood essence of a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator is missing from the cultivation material…”

Pei Ling’s eyes widened.

The system continued. “Ding dong! Host lacking the blood essence of a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator. The system will give you three Qi Refinement Stage cultivators for free!”

Pei Ling was instantly terrified to death. According to the sect rules of the Deep Sea Sect, killing three Qi Refinement Stage cultivators required paying a fine at a minimum of 30,000 spirit stones and a maximum of 90,000! However, he did not have a single spirit stone with him right now!

“Stop! Stop!”

“Cancel the management! I want to cancel the management!”

As he exclaimed in his mind, the system had already controlled his body to rush out of the forest at high speed, heading straight for the disciple residences.

At first, Pei Ling was frightened at the prospect of the massive impending fine. But soon, he could not care less about the fine.

The system was heading straight for the residence of Li Siguang and the others.

Pei Ling :”****!”

Since the system always ignored him in such situations, he could only think about what to do later quickly.

Although Li Siguang and the other two were not feeling too good just now, it was still three against one. Just the talisman that Miao Cheng’an had taken out before he escaped gave him a great sense of danger. Clearly, these second-generation heirs with strong backing must have their own trump cards!

Even if he recovered a little, going back at this time was no different from delivering his head!

As his mind raced, Pei Ling’s figure had already stopped abruptly at the courtyard entrance. The system nimbly took out the nameplate to unlock the restriction.. After entering the small courtyard, it did not hesitate to step forward and kick the door open!
