Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 35: The Secret of Luck

Under Qin Muling's gaze, the mysterious seed slowly and irreversibly changed. The cracks on the surface gradually widened until they spread across the entire seed, and then gradually stopped.

Immediately, an indescribable and mysterious radiance overflowed from the inside of the seed. Countless obscure and majestic Dao patterns could faintly be seen swirling and dancing.

With the appearance of the radiance, the spiritual resonance in Qin Muling's sea of consciousness suddenly became more than ten times stronger. A beautiful and mysterious celestial sound echoed in his soul, seemingly nonexistent yet present.

After dozens of breaths, with the mysterious seed as the core, a faint and ethereal lotus leaf shadow quietly emerged and gradually stabilized.

More chaotic crystal radiance separated and emanated from the Azure Lotus shadow, swirling and flying around the core of the mysterious seed. It left faint traces of light and finally merged into Qin Muling's soul, continuously enhancing his innate potential.

Each point of chaotic spiritual radiance contained some profound and subtle information, allowing Qin Muling to comprehend many previously unheard-of secrets.

Breaking through the Core Condensation Realm and the mutation of the mysterious seed brought him two new innate abilities. One is a Divine Ability secret technique belonging to the healing and recovery category. Regardless of how severe the injuries to his physical body and soul are, and even if the source of vitality is on the verge of depletion, they can be restored to their original state. The limitation is that it can only be used once every fifteen days.

The other is the Luck divination technique, which can perceive the strength or weakness of others' Luck. However, in Qin Muling's opinion, this ability is not flawless, at least not at the current stage.

In the vast universe, everything has Luck, especially for the human race, who are the masters of the world. Their Luck is far superior to other races.

However, for individual cultivators, the accuracy of Luck divination is not guaranteed because there are many factors that influence Luck. Unexpected injuries, being punished for mistakes, being targeted by enemies... or breakthroughs in cultivation, accidentally discovering ancient powerful Cave Mansions, obtaining precious spiritual pills, gaining the recognition and cultivation of a senior in the sect, and so on, can cause a significant rise or fall in a cultivator's Luck.

To give an inappropriate analogy, the rise and fall of Luck is like the stock market in Qin Muling's previous life. It fluctuates without any regularity. His ability is equivalent to someone who has access to insider information, allowing him to gain many additional benefits and even manipulate the situation and exploit others.

However, everything must have a limit. If he goes too far, he will inevitably trigger the backlash of the supreme laws of heaven. With his current strength, he probably won't be able to withstand it.

At this moment, in a luxurious courtyard in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, core disciple Qi Shuyu was discussing matters with her trusted subordinates.

Among the various factions within the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the power behind Qi Shuyu is quite strong, although not as strong as the sect leader Mu Yinghua's faction, it is not far behind.

One of her direct ancestors was the sect leader of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace several generations ago. Although he retired according to tradition, he still has considerable influence within the sect.

Qi Shuyu herself also has profound cultivation. She recently successfully passed the tribulation of the heart demon and stepped into the Destiny Realm, becoming an equal existence to Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan.

"...Senior Sister Qi, just now, someone from the City Lord's Mansion came to inform us that the welcoming banquet has been postponed. We'll have to wait until she comes out of seclusion before deciding when to hold it."

A disciple from the inner sect entered and saluted, then respectfully reported.

The expressions of the female cultivators present suddenly became somewhat subtle. A beautiful middle-aged woman elder expressed her dissatisfaction: "What does she mean? We came all the way here to reinforce, but she actually can't be bothered to even organize a banquet? She's openly disregarding us? She's really arrogant!"

Qi Shuyu waved her hand and calmly asked, "Didn't her people inform us of the reason? Couldn't they at least come up with a disguised excuse?"

"There is a reason. It is said that Qin Muling junior brother was injured in the battle during the day, so they need to seclude themselves to help him recover," reported an inner disciple.

At this moment, a cold and stern-eyed female cultivator entered and reported clearly, "Senior Sister Qi, our people have confirmed that Luo Wanqing and the other two did indeed seclude themselves with Qin Muling junior brother. As for further information, we haven't been able to obtain it yet due to their tight security."

Qi Shuyu nodded gently and looked at the more than twenty female cultivators present. Their cultivation levels varied, but they were all at the Perfected Being Realm. As for the higher True Self Realm and Heart Demon Realm, the elders were not lacking. These were the core members that the family elders had spared no effort to prepare, in preparation for the future competition for the position of the next Supreme Sect Leader with Xue Bingxuan.

"Regarding this Qin junior brother's information, all the elders and junior sisters should have seen it," Qi Shuyu said after a moment of contemplation. "I have to admit that he is indeed a rare talent, and coupled with his relationship with Elder Hengyi, it is worth our effort to win him over."

"But they also understand this, so they have always been very cautious and never give outsiders any chance to take advantage," she continued.

An elder next to her spoke up, "His current cultivation level is still somewhat low. It will take who knows how long for him to grow to the level where he can stand on his own. We don't need to pay too much attention to him for now."

Many female cultivators nodded in agreement. They had seen many so-called genius seeds. It was said that anyone who could grow to their current level deserved such a title.

However, geniuses also varied in quality, and the mortality rate among this group was indeed not low. Many geniuses, due to various reasons, did not fully develop and often exhausted their potential after breaking through a few realms. They found it too risky to invest heavily in Qin Muling too early, in case he didn't achieve the expected achievements in the future. Wouldn't that be a waste?

Qi Shuyu smiled and then straightened her expression. "My status in the Qi family is quite good, and I am also valued by the ancestors, so I know a little more insider information than you."

"Just ask yourselves, what kind of genius would be worthy of Supreme Sect Leader breaking the tradition to accept as a disciple, and be taught and nurtured by several disciples whose strength and status are not inferior to the core elders? And even when injured, several people have to join forces to treat and help him recover. What kind of genius would have such a great face?"

"Forget about myself, even when Supreme Sect Leader was still Dao Chu, he never enjoyed such a special treatment, right?"

"..."

Silence fell in the room, and the expressions of all the female cultivators changed.

Whether it was Sect Leader Mu Yinghua, the Supreme Elders, or Xue Bingxuan and the others, they would not do anything meaningless. So, what kind of secret does Qin Muling have?
