I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 24: It’s Hard to Make a Single Move Without Money!

At this moment, the system stopped cultivating. “Ding Dong! This cultivation session has been completed. Thank you for using the smart cultivation system. You have ascended without a worry! I’ll look forward to you sharing the cultivation experience. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star rating!”

Pei Ling could not care less about the evaluation. He shook his hands and feet, and with a shake of the Life-Extinguishing Blade, he practiced the entire saber art from start to finish on the spot. He could not help but be shocked. His body was now incomparably familiar with the Life-Extinguishing Blade as if it became a part of his body. As a result, once he held the saber hilt, the saber art occurred to him naturally, without any need to think of the next move.

“Well done, system!” Pei Ling heaved a sigh of relief and held the Life-Extinguishing Blade tightly. He felt a little more at ease as he gave the system a two-star rating. Then, he looked around at the surroundings and thought about how to deal with the aftermath.

30,000 low-tier spirit stones… No, it shouldn’t be this low.

Li Siguang and the other two all had connections in the sect, and the fine was likely close to the cap of 90,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. Disciples related to them might even kill him for revenge directly. At most, they would pay a fine to the sect.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to leave the Deep Sea Sect as soon as possible!

Otherwise, who knew if he would meet a wealthy family member to send him on his way?

The problem was that Pei Ling had just arrived at the Deep Sea Sect. When he arrived, the Dark Bone Phantom Boat left him at the Dust Severing Square. He did not even know what direction to go after leaving the sect.

As he thought of that, Pei Ling took out the outer sect disciple clothes that he had not had the chance to change into previously from his storage bag. He changed out of his bloodstained robe and tore off the long strip of his inner clothes that he used to wrap up the Life-Extinguishing Blade to avoid any more problems.

He then roughly tidied up the entire house and ensured that there was nothing wrong with the courtyard. He then left the house with the storage bags and nameplates of the three. He activated the restriction outside and went to the dense forest at the back of the mountain first. He found a place with luxuriant plants and buried his things under a clump of shrubs to conceal them. After memorizing this location, he then identified the direction and went to find Pei Hongnian.

According to Pei Hongnian’s instructions yesterday, Pei Ling managed to find his residence.

It was just that this cousin clearly followed Sun Yinglan’s orders and did not even have the intention of opening the door to let him in. “Didn’t you hear Junior Sister Yinglan’s words yesterday? Don’t look for me in the future! Otherwise, Junior Sister Yinglan will not be happy.”

This bootlicker… Pei Ling was speechless in his heart, but he had no other choice at the moment. He said, “Senior, I was too impulsive yesterday. After I thought about it, Senior Sister Sun might be your wife in the future. Yes, I shouldn’t have treated her like that yesterday. But I just came to the Holy Sect, and I don’t have a single spirit stone on me. I can’t even apologize to Senior Sister Sun properly without money. Why don’t you tell me how to leave the sect? I’ll go out and get something that Senior Sister Sun might like.”

“Leave the sect?” Pei Hongnian’s expression softened when he heard that it was for Sun Yinglan. He only thought about it and shook his head. “You can’t leave the sect.”

Pei Ling’s heart sank. “Why? I don’t think the sect rules forbid outer sect disciples to step outside the sect?”

“Of course, the sect doesn’t restrict outer sect disciples from leaving the place. Otherwise, how did I return home in the past?” Pei Hongnian said, “The problem is that the sect boundaries are vast. It’s over a thousand miles from the Shady Sophora Peak to the outside of the mountain. When you came here previously, the Dark Bone Phantom Ship could reach it in a moment. Now that you want to go out, the cheapest Corpse Cloud costs ten low-grade spirit stones to rent. If you don’t have a single spirit stone, how are you going to leave?”

Pei Ling felt like vomiting blood. “Then what do I do? Am I staying in Shady Sophora Peak forever?”

As the saying went, one could not move forward without money. It is too f*cking true!

“Why do you have to leave the sect?” Pei Hongnian asked in return. “There are plenty of poor outer sect disciples. How can the sect not consider it? The miscellaneous commissars at the back of the hall will announce various missions every day. You can go and see if there are suitable ones for you.”

Pei Ling probed, “Then can you lend me ten low-grade spirit stones? I’ll return them to you after a while.”

Pei Hongnian shook his head without hesitation. “I’ve already given all my spirit stones to Junior Sister Yinglan. I have nothing for you.”

“…” Pei Ling did not want to say another word to this bootlicker and turned to leave.

He hurriedly arrived at the Miscellaneous Committee. It was a large hall, crowded and bustling with people. Before he entered, he could hear a lot of yelling. There were people recruiting members, people reporting on their resume to join missions, people who wanted to find professional cultivators for their troubles, people who were bargaining… It was clamorous like a market.

Pei Ling squeezed in with great difficulty, only to find that the interior was simple and crude. There was no furnishings at all, only four walls filled with magic arrays. They were about the height of his waist with a dense ring of holes.

Pei Ling observed for a while before imitating the others and inserting his nameplate into one of the empty holes.

A ball of black fog immediately surfaced on the wall in front of him and slowly transformed into lines of text.

The first was to grow a spirit herb called Ghost Face Grass for three months. The reward was five low-grade spirit stones… Pei Ling gave up before he finished reading it.

The second request was for him to send a letter. The requirement was for him to have his own mount. It would last for a month, and the reward was three low-tier spirit stones… He gave up on the mission as well.

The third required him to help take care of a spirit beast. He mainly had to process the feces for a month. As for remuneration? The remuneration was the feces, mucus, and the like that needed to be processed… Scram!

The fourth was the Weapon Forging Peak’s recruitment notice. Disciples were required to be down-to-earth, willing to work hard. It was best if they had a certain level of talent. Priority was given to those with good foundations. Hmm. They won’t pay me spirit stones, but I can watch from the side while some inner sect senior brother forged the weapon? Screw you!

The following missions were also more or less the same. Pei Ling frowned as he watched. He did not know how popular Li Siguang and the other two were in the past or how long it would take for someone to find out about their deaths, but considering their family backgrounds, every moment in the sect was torturous to him.

If not for the fact that he did not have ten spirit stones, he would have already rented a Corpse Cloud and fled.

After patiently watching for a while, he finally saw a task with high remuneration. “Investigate the truth about the sudden death of the entire Han Villa. You have one month to complete this mission. Your pay is 800 low-grade spirit stones.”

He was overjoyed. Just as he was about to accept the task, his sharp eyes caught sight of the following sentence. “This task is only available for disciples at the sixth level of Qi Refinement and above.”

Pei Ling: “…”

He looked at the rest of the missions and realized that only disciples with at least the sixth level of Qi Refinement could take those highly paid jobs that required disciples to leave the sect.

If not, there had to be at least a Qi Refinement cultivator at the sixth level in the team.

Upon seeing this, Pei Ling decisively put away his nameplate and began to wander around the hall, attempting to join a group that had accepted missions outside the sect.

The quality of the team was not his priority. What was important was that they could bring him out of the sect as soon as possible!

With this thought, he quickly walked to a disciple who had loudly shouted that he had accepted the task of killing demonic beasts and that he needed two more disciples.. “Senior Brother, I want to join your team!”
