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

Chapter 61: Heavenly Phenomenon

Since there were a large number of aquatic creatures here, and their average strength did not exceed Qin Muling's limit, Qin Muling decided to stay here for a few days.

As thunder continued to fall, large aquatic creatures that were provoked by Qin Muling were successively lured onto the shore and killed under the attack of numerous wood-based divine spells. Then, their essence of blood and flesh was completely refined by the Azure Lotus phantom.

In this river that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, the strength of the aquatic creatures was generally proportional to their size, and the essence of blood and qi inside their bodies was unexpectedly rich. Therefore, Qin Muling specifically targeted those large creatures that were not too strong, and the harvest was extremely satisfying.

At first, Qin Muling could only deal with one aquatic creature at a time, but as he gradually became more skilled, he could handle two creatures at once without any pressure. Then, he gradually increased the difficulty, three creatures, four creatures...

After a day and a night, in an area not far from the riverbank, more than ten different-shaped aquatic creatures were roaring and struggling desperately. Each creature was entangled by dozens of thick and tough blue vines. The sharp bone spurs on the vines carried a strong paralyzing and sleep-inducing toxin, deeply piercing into their bodies, further limiting their resistance.

Qin Muling moved swiftly and wielded his sword like the wind, killing one after another. In just half an incense stick's worth of time, more than ten big guys fell to the ground one after another.

Qin Muling skillfully dismembered the bodies of the aquatic creatures, took out the parts that were useful to him, ate the edible parts on the spot, temporarily set aside the parts that couldn't be eaten, and handed the remaining parts to the Azure Lotus phantom to deal with. Then, he started looking for the next batch of targets. The whole process was smooth and efficient.

The inner cores contained abundant spiritual essence. Even with Qin Muling's special physique, after eating five or six of them, he would feel his body swelling and his meridians feeling like they were about to burst. At this time, he needed to stop and meditate for a while to fully refine and absorb them.

The continuous intense battles had obvious effects on his cultivation. He had already broken through the eighth level of the Core Condensation Realm, and his essence, energy, and spirit became more condensed. He was not far from breaking through to the next realm.

As a large amount of flesh and blood essence was devoured and absorbed, the chaotic brilliance derived from the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed increased. With traces of profound and mysterious Dao rhymes, it silently merged into Qin Muling's soul and body.

At first glance, this increase seemed very small, but it excelled in persistence. Over time, it would inevitably accumulate and have the effect of gathering sand into a tower and converging into a river.

Moreover, Qin Muling had a feeling that in this unfamiliar new world, this mysterious seed absorbed the essence of heaven and earth faster than outside. Coupled with the nourishment and supplementation of countless flesh and blood essence, its growth speed was bound to surpass that of the outside world.

"It's almost done, let's change places..."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Looking at the pile of loot not far away, such as inner cores, spiritual medicines, beast bones, scales, and some rare fur, teeth, and horns, all of which were valuable resources, Qin Muling felt a bit overwhelmed. He didn't have a spatial bracelet at hand, so it was difficult to take away so many things.

Most cultivators, limited by their status and identity, entered secret realms empty-handed. However, as long as they found suitable materials inside, they could still create various tools. They could refine pills, refine Law Weapons, although they couldn't take them out, they could still be used in the secret realm.

Therefore, after the Illusory Mist Secret Realm had been open for a while, as long as they weren't too unlucky, most cultivators could gather a set of decent weapons and armor. The higher the cultivation level, the better the things they could create.

After pondering for a while, Qin Muling realized that he didn't have suitable materials to refine a spatial bracelet, so he could only choose the most valuable parts of the loot and sew them into a large bag made of beast skin. He reluctantly gave up the rest and threw them back into the deep water of the river to prevent other cultivators from picking them up.

Flying over the river, Qin Muling occasionally stopped to explore the flowers, plants, and trees along the way. He found that the spiritual energy contained in them was exceptionally abundant. Even the seemingly useless wild grass was much stronger and more plump than the weeds outside.

As he continued to travel, the number and density of grass and plants in his field of vision increased. Until two days later, a large primitive forest appeared in his sight. Every tree was hundreds of zhang tall, with a circumference that required several people to hug. There were countless giant trees that exceeded three to five hundred zhang in height.

The air was filled with a strong essence of grass, wood, and water, almost comparable to the medicinal gardens of the sect. It was evident that this primitive forest was a good cultivation resource.

"It's good enough. Let's stay here for a while."

Qin Muling made up her mind and found a spot deep in the forest. She cleared out the surrounding wild beasts and sat down to activate her innate abilities.

After a few breaths, a huge Azure Lotus phantom appeared. Rolling green streams of air flowed out and spread lightly, quickly covering an area of over three thousand zhang. Countless dazzling starlights sprinkled from above, silently penetrating into the giant trees and flowers.

Due to various concerns outside, Qin Muling had never dared to fully utilize her Innate Primordial Spirit Seed. She had to hide her strength. But now, with no one around, there was no need to hold back anymore.

As a massive amount of clear air diffused, brilliant rosy lights emerged. The fragrance of grass and wood became even stronger. Countless subtle purple wood essence rose into the air, converging into a thick purple cloud, which then transformed into a huge tornado shape. The funnel at the bottom was where Qin Muling was located.

Immediately, countless subtle chaotic spiritual energy origins feedbacked from Qin Muling's body and infiltrated the interior of these giant trees, silently transforming and enhancing their innate potential.

The earth trembled slightly, and a strange Dao rhyme permeated the surroundings. The nearby forest seemed to come alive. Qin Muling had a special feeling, as if the barrier between herself and this world had quietly disappeared. It... had truly recognized and accepted her.

In the vast and boundless void, nine huge rainbow phantoms appeared at some point. Their length was unknown, spanning across the sky, magnificent and beautiful, with faint celestial music lingering in the horizon.

At this moment, on the vast land, countless powerful and mysterious existences were awakened, noticing this extraordinary phenomenon of the world. Even the cultivators who entered the secret realm were no exception.

...

In the far north.

"... How many years has it been? I have never heard of such a phenomenon occurring in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. It seems that this time's secret realm opening is indeed somewhat unusual."

On the bitterly cold ice field, Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan gazed at the sky with a slight frown.

Beside her, Luo Wanqing swiftly collected more than twenty sets of armor and weapons, as well as various packages, into a spatial bracelet. Then, she carefully inspected each item. Among them were four special Law Weapons that could be taken out of the secret realm, which could be considered a good harvest.

These were all contributed by the cultivators who had just besieged them, belonging to several different sects. In the end, they were mercilessly killed by the two of them, but it was a case of gaining nothing after all.

"I think this matter is probably related to Junior Brother," Luo Wanqing said without looking up, putting all the useful items into four spatial bracelets. These were, of course, contributed by those dead cultivators. Although they were relatively crude and simple, with limited storage space, it was not a problem to fit these spoils of war.

Xue Bingxuan nodded in agreement. "I also think so. Unfortunately, the area is too vast, and there's no way to trace his location. Of course, this is a good thing. Otherwise, many cultivators would rush over to investigate the cause, and that would be dangerous for him."

Luo Wanqing stood up straight, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. "After meeting up with Junior Brother, perhaps we should consider and make use of the time to take care of the 'main business.' Well, Senior Sister, you understand what I mean, right?"

Xue Bingxuan blushed at the words and whispered, "Do we really have to do this? Isn't it too rushed?"

Luo Wanqing snorted, "You're always so cautious, but those cunning foxes won't be polite to you! If they take the lead, where will you cry? Are you willing to be left behind and enter later?"

Xue Bingxuan's expression stiffened, and he couldn't help but seriously consider it.

Both women were not naive and naturally understood that this was not just empty talk. The threat was real. The Sect Master had painstakingly planned and arranged for them. If their home was stolen by outsiders in the end, it would truly be a laughingstock.

Perhaps, this matter really couldn't be delayed any longer?

...

In the depths of the vast Mang Mang Mountain Range.

Lin Shengqing, the Junior Sect Master of the Bright Moon Sword Sect, stopped his work and looked up at the anomaly in the vast sky, frowning in silence.

"Junior Master, should I handle it?"

A beautiful girl dressed in animal fur hunting attire walked over and took the golden-haired beast that resembled a cheetah from Lin Shengqing's hand. She skillfully cut its throat and collected the blood that flowed into a jade bowl.

The pale golden blood churned and boiled in the bowl, emitting a steaming heat and faintly flashing with colorful brilliance. Obviously, it was not an ordinary item.

Not far away, two other girls were working together to refine a beast skin robe. The hastily constructed simple array shimmered with radiance, and a small pile of spirit stones and some scattered materials were placed nearby for backup.

After a while, when the blood had drained completely, the girl in hunting attire lifted the jade bowl and respectfully presented it to Lin Shengqing.

Lin Shengqing took the jade bowl and slowly drank from it. The blood of this kind of exotic beast was a rare holy medicine that could effectively nourish the soul, flesh, and body. It had a good effect even on him, an expert in the Immortal Transformation realm.

When there was only a little blood left, Lin Shengqing handed the jade bowl to the girl in hunting attire. "This thing is good. You three should have a sip too."

The girl in hunting attire happily agreed and took the jade bowl.

Lin Shengqing let out a sigh and his thoughts returned to the anomaly in the sky just now.

"A precious treasure? A spiritual beast? Or has some unprecedented special secret realm been opened? It seems that I need to quickly gather with the people in the sect. If I want to investigate the truth of this matter, I can't do it without enough manpower."

...

The world in Qin Muling's eyes had undergone subtle changes.

From this moment on, the surrounding forest seemed to become his home, his special domain. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the number of trees, flowers, grass, birds, and beasts, as well as their species, forms, and sizes, all appeared vividly in his mind.

Soon, Qin Muling quickly counted the number of spiritual herbs available for his use within this range: 117 plants, among which 21 could be directly consumed, and 3 were approaching the level of holy medicine. In addition, there were tree hearts or roots of nine different spiritual trees that could be dug out and eaten, and seven types of exotic beasts that could be hunted.

Needless to say, these were all special abilities brought to him by the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed. From now on, no matter where he was, it was unlikely that any spiritual medicine or holy medicine could escape Qin Muling's perception.

Without hesitation, Qin Muling immediately began to search according to the map. Apart from the parts that could be eaten on the spot, he could only choose the most valuable things to take away, after all, the capacity of the beast skin bag was limited.

"Forget it, let's find the nearest city to rest and see if we can get a Law Weapon! However, I still need to cultivate for a few more days to further improve my cultivation..." Qin Muling muttered with some frustration. Without this thing, collecting resources outside was really inconvenient.

There were cities in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, and there were more than just one or two. There were also a large number of indigenous people inside, each with some mysterious and unpredictable abilities. Of course, as long as they were not provoked, there would be no trouble.

These indigenous people could communicate and do business with cultivators without any obstacles, and there were also great Divine Ability practitioners among them. Therefore, for so many tens of thousands of years, no foreign cultivator dared to offend them.

So, Qin Muling stayed in this vast primitive forest for more than twenty days before finally leaving with two beast skin bags taller than himself.

After traveling for seven or eight days on the boundless grassland, a city built of dark giant rocks finally appeared at the end of his sight. Qin Muling, overjoyed, immediately accelerated his speed.

But when he was near the city gate, a group of cultivators with green eyes rushed out and blocked Qin Muling's way.

"Stop, who are you? Don't you know the rules of paying taxes to enter the city?" The leader of the group scolded sharply, greedily scanning the beast skin bags with his eyes. "Where did you pick up these things? Are there any illegal items inside? Open them up for us to inspect, and your sword is also problematic, it must be handed over..."

As they spoke, the group surrounded him, but the weapons in their hands looked crude and obviously hastily made, with little killing power.

Qin Muling's eyes turned cold. "You dare to rob me? Very well, I'll let you all keep your lives!"

He couldn't be bothered to waste words with these Independent Cultivators who were like wild dogs. They dared to provoke him without knowing their own limitations? Kill them all!

In the next moment, the sword light flashed, instantly as fast as lightning, splitting into thousands of sword lights that descended like a storm, filling the surrounding ten zhang space with a chilling and bone-piercing sword aura.

Screams echoed one after another. This group of cultivators, with the highest cultivation level only at the Infant Formation stage, all collapsed on the ground in an instant, their bodies separated.
