I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 63 Isn’t It Enough to Have Hands for Refining Pills?

After counting the spirit stones, Pei Ling left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. He did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left this mountain!

He did not even dare to return to Shady Sophora Peak immediately. Instead, he found a nearby mountain and went straight to the Disciplinary Hall. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he sat down in the square in front of the hall and saw the staff coming and going.

I can’t sell the Bone Tempering Pills myself! Pei Ling frowned. But the retarded system won’t lower the quality of the pills… “System, can you only refine middle-grade or inferior-grade Bone Tempering Pills next time?”

System: “Ding-Dong! Smart Cultivation System at your service. One-Click Management. Ascend without worries and fulfill your dream of ascension!”

Pei Ling sighed and perked up, seriously considering what to do next.

He definitely had to continue refining the pills. Otherwise, if he could not pay the fine when the deadline came, he would definitely be in trouble.

As for getting the system to craft talismans and forge weapons, he would probably face similar difficulties.

The problem was that superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills had clearly attracted some attention.

Besides the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, there was also Jin Sumian… Pei Ling had a headache. He had to think of a way to resolve the drawbacks of refining pills too well.

Perhaps I should change my thinking. After focusing for a moment, Pei Ling thought, The Deep Sea Sect is not Deer Spring City. In Deer Spring City, the Pei family is powerful. My mother passed away early and my stepmother is in charge and suppresses me a lot. However, when I show that I’m not a threat to Pei Tu, my stepmother and son won’t exterminate me.

After all, he was a member of the Pei family.

The Pei family did not have someone like Zheng Jingshan who used his blood to cultivate. As a family, and a family that wanted to improve, even if they turned a blind eye to some unfair situations in the family, they would never allow an outsider who married into the family to wantonly kill their own family’s children.

At least not subjectively.

To his stepmother, Pei Ling was no longer a threat to her and her son’s interests. If she tried to harm him again, the gains would not make up for the losses. The problem was that he was not in the Pei residence but in the Deep Sea Sect now. There was no assurance of blood ties here to ensure that as long as he lived an ignoble life, he would be fine.

If this continued, he would most likely die.

He had to find a new safeguard!

To be exact, he wanted to find a backer.

He would be safe hiding behind a backer as a shield. To simply hide without one was equivalent to being an individual with no power!

And only Zheng Jingshan could be his backer. After all, he did not even have the right to meet other big shots, let alone cozy up to them. At the thought of this, Pei Ling no longer hesitated. He rented a Corpse Cloud and rushed to Kulan Residence.

“What are you doing here again?” This time, when he saw Zheng Jingshan, his injuries were basically healed. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see any traces.

Zheng Jingshan was not very happy to see Pei Ling. In fact, if not for Fairy Li, he would have slapped Pei Ling the moment he saw him!

Although he did not make a move at this moment, his expression was calm and his tone was very cold. Pei Ling was a little puzzled. He thought he had always respected this senior brother. This was clearly not his attitude the last time he came over.

Just as he was feeling suspicious, Zheng Jingshan asked him to leave. “I have something to do here. You can go back first. In the future, if you have nothing to do, don’t keep coming to the inner sect. You have to know that the reason why outer sect disciples are not barred from coming to the inner sect is that the inner sect disciples will kill you within the inner sect’s boundaries. They just have to insist that you launched an offensive and get you to hand over some spirit stones.”

What the f*ck, this sect can actually be so evil?!

Pei Ling spat out a mouthful of blood inwardly and said hastily, “Senior Brother, I went to Elixir Peak to listen to a lecture on alchemy two days ago and realized that alchemy seems to be very simple. I heard that the Hundred Treasures Pavilion said that the profits from refining pills are not bad, so I immediately thought that this is my chance to repay Senior Brother!”

Zheng Jingshan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Simple to refine pills? You’ll know after you refine one. Back then, I…”

He stopped mid-sentence and reprimanded him. “You’ve only been in the sect for a few days and you’re already biting off more than you can chew. You’ll definitely not become successful in the future. How can you live up to Senior Sister’s expectations!”

“Senior Brother, refining pills is really simple,” Pei Ling said seriously. “I’ve already refined a few cauldrons of Bone Tempering Pills and sold them all to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. I came to show my filial piety after confirming that the profits from this matter are considerable.”

“Huh?” Zheng Jingshan frowned at him and said suspiciously, “Is that true?”.

If an ordinary outer sect disciple at the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm told Zheng Jingshan this, Zheng Jingshan would not even bother to listen. That person should count himself lucky if he did not beat him to death on the spot.

However, in his opinion, Pei Ling was a gem that his senior sister had taken a fancy to. It was natural for him to have outstanding qualities.

That was why Zheng Jingshan patiently said, “It’s not difficult to investigate the information about the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. If you’re spouting nonsense, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

He thought to himself that even if he was a talent that his senior sister had taken a fancy to, if he fooled around with him, his senior sister would not blame him for teaching him a lesson.

“Senior Brother, if you don’t believe me, please help me borrow a pill furnace. I have a few sets of Nine Nether Fire talismans here. I can refine them on the spot for you to see,” Pei Ling said in a low voice. “Refining pills is really easy. As long as you have hands.” That’s right, he decided to disguise himself as an alchemy genius. In any case, when the system controlled his pill refinement, outsiders could not tell at all. They would only see him being immersed in the refining process. Based on the experience of refining the superior-grade pills, it was natural for Pei Ling to be fully focused.

After all, to ensure that his relationship with his backer was stable, mutual benefits were necessary! This was the only bargaining chip he had at the moment.

Zheng Jingshan narrowed his eyes and looked at him. After a moment, he formed hand seals and muttered a few words. Soon someone came to knock on the door. It was a male disciple who was about the same age as Pei Ling. His eyes were filled with curiosity. “Branch Master, I’ve borrowed a pill furnace.”

“Put it down, then leave.” Zheng Jingshan nodded, but he did not intend to satisfy the disciple’s curiosity. After he left, he closed the small courtyard and signaled for Pei Ling to begin. “You just joined the sect and went out on a mission. You haven’t been in the sect for long, so I won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you refine a finished product, even if it’s just an inferior-grade pill, I’ll treat you as an alchemy genius.

But if all of them are unusable, don’t waste my time!”

Pei Ling said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I won’t disappoint you.”

He sneered in his mind, System, I want to refine pills! Zheng Jingshan had been wa nonchalantly. After all, in his opinion, even if Pei Ling was really very talented in alchemy, how many days had he been in the sect? Even if he studied alchemy without eating or drinking and had a massive amount of resources for practice, it was already not bad to be able to refine an inferior-grade Bone Tempering Pill. If he were still in the outer sect, he would value Pei Ling more. But he was already an inner sect leader, so this did not mean much.

However, Pei Ling had only handled two main materials when Zheng Jingshan suddenly sat up straight. This technique was too exquisite!

Back then, when he was in the outer sect, he had tried to refine pills himself. After investing a lot of resources, he had no choice but to give up. He knew very well that in order to become a true alchemist, talent, resources, and time were indispensable.

Even the few elders who were publicly acknowledged to have the best alchemy skills in the Deep Sea Sect only began to make a name for themselves after joining the sect for at least a year and a half. They either came from a noble background or found a sponsor so they could focus on alchemy without worrying about other things.

But this Pei Ling came from a humble background. Before he entered the sect, it was impossible for him to come into contact with alchemy techniques. After he entered the sect… When all was said and done, he could shock everyone simply by managing a few main materials well!

Zheng Jingshan’s expression was grave as he watched Pei Ling’s every move. He even suspected that he was a spy from another sect who was using his identity as Pei Ling to infiltrate the Deep Sea Sect.

No, this is impossible.

But soon, Zheng Jingshan dispelled his doubts. After all, Pei Ling’s every move at this moment was smooth to the extreme. Be it his handling of the medicinal herbs, his control of the elixir fire, his heat control, or the timing when he placed the medicinal herbs, everything was going well!

Even if this was only the most basic Bone Tempering Pill, it was enough to show how solid his basic skills were.

No sect would dislike having such a genius. Why would they send him out on a dangerous undercover mission?

Soon, under the system’s control, Pei Ling refined the first batch of elixirs. After taking out all the Bone Tempering Pills from the furnace, Zheng Jingshan was even more shocked. “Not only did this kid really refine the Bone Tempering Pills, but this elixir fragrance… The 12 Bone Tempering Pills are all superior-grade!”

When he looked at Pei Ling again, his eyes could not help but be filled with astonishment.

Genius!

A peerless genius!

Senior Sister is indeed Senior Sister. She has great acumen!

I, Zheng Jingshan, can’t catch up to her!
