I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 69 Bone Life Flower

As Fang Ji had said, the path through the Yin-Yang Basin was flat ground. As long as they were careful, even mortals would not make a mistake. Of course, it was not difficult for cultivators like them.

But not long after, they turned a corner and saw an extremely wide and deep valley.

There was only a two-inch narrow ridge in the deep valley that led to the other side.

The cold air on one side of the narrow mountain range was bone-chilling, and the heat waves on the other side were surging. They were clearly separated, like fire and water.

However, perhaps because this place was closer to the ball of light in the air, which provided a balance, the cold and heat on the exposed rocks on both sides of the narrow ridge was not as intense as on the flat ground.

On the cold side, there was only a thin layer of ice. On the hot side, there was only heat rising. The similarity between the two deep valleys was that less than ten feet below the ridge, there was a colorful fog.

The fog was so thick that one could not see the scenery clearly, but one could hear countless rustling sounds. They sounded like silkworms eating leaves in the spring, like snakes and insects swimming around. They were fine and dense, making one’s hair stand on end.

“Be careful.” At this point, even Ouyang Xianxing focused slightly and turned to remind Pei Ling before following Fang Ji up the narrow ridge.

Pei Ling’s face was a little pale. He hesitated for a moment before stepping forward carefully.

Not only was this mountain ridge extremely narrow, but after going up, strong winds would blow from time to time.

One was cold and the other was hot.

If not for the fact that Pei Ling was already at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, he would not have been able to go far.

In such an environment, even Foundation Establishment cultivators were unwilling to stay long, so Fang Ji and Ouyang Xianxing were very fast.

In an instant, they had crossed most of the deep valley.

Pei Ling’s cultivation level was low, but he was gradually pulled away.

Although Xue Ying did not urge him, Pei Ling sped up. Soon, Fang Ji and Ouyang Xianxing stepped onto the ground on the other side.

At this moment, Pei Ling narrowed his eyes and suddenly jumped into the deep valley!

In a dark corner a distance away, there was a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power.

At the same time, Xue Ying was wondering if he should take the opportunity to attack when he saw Pei Ling falling into the basin suddenly. He looked happy. However, almost immediately, Pei Ling exclaimed, “Senior Brother Xue, you!!!”

Stunned, Xue Ying looked at him with a surprised and delighted expression.

The next moment, Ouyang Xianxing and Fang Ji turned around and saw this scene.

“Xue Ying?!” Ouyang Xianxing’s pupils constricted as her anger flared! Fang Ji was also very surprised and at a loss for what to do.

Just as Ouyang Xianxing pulled the chain that bound the black coffin and was about to save him, a blood shadow shot out from the bottom of the valley. It jumped to her side in a few leaps. The blood light dissipated and a figure appeared. It was Pei Ling, who had yet to recover from his shock.

Blood Ghost Escape Technique!

The spiritual energy fluctuation in the dark dissipated instantly, and the three inner sect disciples were shocked.

Ordinary escape techniques could not be used in this Yin-Yang Basin, one of the dangerous places in the inner sect. Therefore, they had been very careful along the way and did not dare to use their cultivation to travel. However, the Blood Ghost Escape Technique was the prerequisite escape technique of the Five Ghost Heavenly Escape. It was very magical, and not restricted in this place.

The problem was that Pei Ling was only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. How could he have learned this escape technique? “Senior Sister Ouyang, I don’t know why Senior Brother Xue suddenly pushed me down just now!” Before Ouyang Xianxing could ask, Pei Ling immediately complained. “If not for my escape technique, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even be able to find my corpse.”

“… You’re talking nonsense!” Xue Ying was also stunned by this change. When he heard this, he reacted and quickly shouted, “I didn’t touch you at all. You suddenly jumped down.”

Pei Ling looked furious as he said, “Senior Brother, you’re lying through your teeth! My cultivation level is so low. It was all thanks to Senior Sister and Senior Brother that I could get here. How could I dare to make any mistakes? Moreover, it’s my first time meeting Senior Brother. There’s no enmity between us. What reason do I have to risk my life to frame Senior Brother!”

He then turned to Ouyang Xianxing. “Senior Sister, I know that Senior Brother Xue is part of your team. As the saying goes, an acquaintance may not sow discord among intimate friends. If not for the fact that the evidence is there, I wouldn’t dare to suspect Senior Brother Xue no matter what. But now, please forgive me, Senior Sister. If you can’t help me, I really don’t dare to continue following you.”

“Senior Sister Ouyang, this kid is full of nonsense!” Xue Ying almost vomited blood. A hint of ruthlessness appeared on his honest face as he said coldly, “If I want to deal with this kid, will I give him a chance to escape? He has ulterior motives and is deliberately sowing discord here.”

Pei Ling immediately said, “I trust Senior Sister Ouyang! If Senior Sister Ouyang had not looked for me just now, I would have died in the Dream Sensing Forest. So as long as Senior Sister handles the matter, I have no complaints. If Senior Sister thinks that I’m framing Senior Brother Xue, I’m willing to accept your punishment.”

As he spoke, he secretly tightened his grip on the Hundred-Mile Escape Talisman that Zheng Jingshan had given him. He was prepared to leave immediately if something went wrong with Ouyang Xianxing.

Ouyang Xianxing looked back and forth between the two of them. Beside her, Fang Ji was also looking around.

A moment later, Ouyang Xianxing suddenly reached into the black coffin behind her.

A strange scene unfolded.

When her hand touched the coffin, the dark coffin did not change, but her pale, slender hand reached in without any obstruction and took out a translucent, pale flower.

Fang Ji and Xue Ying’s expressions changed.

Pei Ling did not know what it was, but he instinctively tightened his grip on the talisman. His muscles were tense, ready to make a move at any time.

Ouyang Xianxing waved her hand and sent a stream of spiritual power to wrap the flower branch in front of Xue Ying. She said indifferently, “You pointed in the wrong direction when we were in the Dream Sensing Forest just now. Now that Junior Brother Pei has made a mistake, you can’t absolve yourself of the blame. If you really have a clear conscience, when the Cold Marrow Fire is in our hands, I will naturally remove this Bone Life Flower for you.”

Xue Ying glared at the flower in front of him. His face was livid, the corners of his eyes twitched, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “Senior Sister Ouyang, we’ve known each other for many years. We’ve risked our lives together more than once… You’d rather believe this cunning kid than me?”

“If I didn’t believe you, I would have thrown you into the basin long ago before you came over,” Ouyang Xianxing said calmly. “It’s just that our faction has been in a bad situation recently. Your actions just now were very difficult to trust. Only by planting a Bone Life Flower can everyone continue to move forward without worry, right?”

“…” Xue Ying gritted his teeth and his cheeks trembled slightly. Clearly, he was not calm.

Seeing this, Fang Ji hesitated for a moment and said softly, “Senior Sister, perhaps Xue Ying was just confused and wanted to scare this kid…”

Before he could finish, Ouyang Xianxing looked at him. “Why? Have you thought of killing Junior Brother Pei too?”

“… No, no, definitely not.” Seeing that Ouyang Xianxing was about to take another Bone Life Flower from the black coffin, Fang Ji quickly shook his head. “Senior Sister, I spoke too much.”

On the narrow ridge, Xue Ying was sweating profusely as he stared at the Bone Life Flower in front of him. After a while, seeing that Ouyang Xianxing was unmoved, he finally smiled bitterly. “Senior Sister, you… You trust this kid so much. I really can’t accept it!”

With that, he made up his mind, closed his eyes, and grabbed the flower branch in front of him.

As soon as the flower touched his palm, it immediately turned into white bone chains that mercilessly penetrated Xue Ying’s entire body.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

Amidst the bone-cracking sounds, Pei Ling saw many white bone chains pierce Xue Ying’s body repeatedly until it was riddled with holes. They gathered behind him and slowly bloomed into a huge translucent, pale-white flower that disappeared quietly.

During this process, Xue Ying let out a hysterical scream, but he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all. No matter how painful the torture was, his legs remained firmly planted on the narrow ridge.

After the Bone Life Flower disappeared, he was like a candle flickering in the wind. He stood rooted to the ground for a while before staggering towards the three of them.

After a while, Xue Ying, who was badly injured, finally stepped onto the ground. He did not look at Ouyang Xianxing who was doing this to him. Instead, he looked at Pei Ling with resentment.

With Ouyang Xianxing protecting him, Pei Ling was not afraid at all. He even sneered inwardly. Just this? You want to harm me with this? Compared to the system, Xue Ying’s tricks are nothing!
