I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation - Chapter 59 - Master
Pei Ling could hear the implied meaning in the old man’s words. Even if Jin Sumian could offer a high price, she could not keep buying like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. After all, she was an alchemist.
So in the long term, the premium price of 10% from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was definitely better.
“Junior Brother, I’ve already received a promise from Elder Shen in the inner sect. After I build my foundation, I’ll immediately become a disciple of Elder Shen!” Jin Sumian’s expression darkened slightly. She naturally understood what Pei Ling understood.
Thinking quickly, she said, “I’m sure Junior Brother knows Elder Shen’s alchemy skills. If you’re willing to sell this superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill to me, I’m willing to introduce you to him!”
Damn it! Before Pei Ling could react, the muscles in the corners of the old man’s eyes twitched. Shen Chun, an inner sect disciple, was one of the five great alchemists of the Deep Sea Sect. Although the Deep Sea Sect was not famous for its pill refinement, Shen Chun was the most skilled in pill refinement compared to the other disciples over the years.
This person’s cultivation level could only be said to be ordinary among the inner sect elders. However, because of his status as an alchemist, he was highly revered and well regarded.
It was obvious how enticing Jin Sumian’s promise was!

Old Man Lin quickly reminded Pei Ling, “Little friend, Daoist Jin’s offer is only verbal. Who knows if it’s true or false? Moreover, Elder Shen has always been straightforward in accepting disciples. Not only does he look for talent, but he also emphasizes natural affinity. In the past, there was an outer sect disciple with outstanding talent who respected his master. However, after kneeling for 10 days and 10 nights, he was still rejected by Elder Shen! Little friend, you’re young, so why take such a risk? Why don’t you use spirit stones to increase your cultivation and alchemy skills? You can plan things slowly.”

“Junior Brother, you have to think carefully.” Jin Sumian sneered and advised, “You can earn spirit stones anytime. If you miss the opportunity, there won’t be any left!” “Little friend…” The old man whose surname was Lin did not give up. He wanted to say something else, but Pei Ling did not want to listen to their argument anymore. He interrupted, “Just go with the spirit stones. I’ll sell them to whoever gives the highest price.” Then he looked at Jin Sumian. “Senior Sister Jin, I’m sorry. I’m very short of spirit stones now.”
“I wonder how many spirit stones Junior Brother lacks?” Jin Sumian’s heart sank when she heard that. Because of her outstanding alchemy skills, she was considered quite well-off among the outer sect disciples. However, it was impossible for her to compete with the Hundred Treasures Pavilion in wealth.
At this moment, she braced herself and asked, “Perhaps I can lend a little to Junior Brother temporarily in case Junior Brother misses a good opportunity…”
Pei Ling shook his head. What he lacked now was not a little, but tens of thousands! Unless Jin Sumian was crazy, she would not lend him tens of thousands of spirit stones at once!
So he said, “Thank you, Senior Sister. If you can lend me 10,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones, I’ll sell all the Bone Tempering Pills to you.”
Hearing this, Jin Sumian frowned. Her intended price was 1,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.
Who would have thought that Pei Ling would ask for 10,000?
Of course, she could afford to fork out this sum of spirit stones, but she did not know this junior brother of hers. Instead of lending them, it would be more accurate to say that it was a free gift… A mere superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill was not worth that much!
“10,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones is too much. Please forgive me for being powerless.” Jin Sumian shook her head.
Old Man Lin’s eyes lit up as he chuckled. “In that case, this superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill will be accepted by our pavilion…” As he spoke, he ordered the youth behind him to take a brocade box and specially placed the superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill inside. As if he had thought of something, he said to Pei Ling, “Oh right, let me remind you of something. Superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills are precious. In the future, it’s better not to put them together with pills of different grades.”
Seeing that Pei Ling did not respond, the Old Man Lin did not mind and casually poured out the remaining 11 pills. Amidst the overflowing medicinal fragrance, the 11 Bone Tempering Pills appeared clear and sparkling! Old Master Lin’s eyes widened instantly. In his opinion, it was already a blessing for him to have encountered a superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill. The remaining pills in this porcelain bottle were at most middle-grade or even inferior-grade.
This was also the reason why he had promised Pei Ling a 10% premium for the purchase.
Who would have thought that all the Bone Tempering Pills in this bottle were actually superior-grade?!
“… All, all of them are superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills?!” Jin Sumian, who had failed in bidding for the pill, had already left with her companions. However, when she smelled the fragrance of the pills, she suddenly turned around. Seeing this scene, Lu Luqiang could not help crying out in surprise.
She knew nothing about pill refinement. She only felt that these 11 pills looked the same as the one that was carefully put away just now.
Shao Ningzhi and Fan Xi were also stunned. They looked at Pei Ling, flabbergasted.
“They’re all superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills!” Jin Sumian stared intently at the pills in the old man’s hand. Suddenly, she walked back quickly and grabbed Pei Ling’s arm. Her eyes shone as she said, “Junior Brother, may I know which master this bottle of pills came from?”
Before Pei Ling could say anything, she continued, “As long as you’re willing to introduce me to this master, I’ll immediately get someone to lend 10,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones to you!”
“If my young friend is willing to introduce the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to the master, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is also willing to lend you 10,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.” Old Man Lin had originally abided by the rules of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and did not inquire about the origins of the items. However, at this moment, he could not restrain himself and immediately promised, “And it will be fine as long as you repay it within 10 years!”
Are alchemists so popular?
If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have gone to the Miscellaneous Committee!
Feeling touched, Pei Ling said inwardly, System, you’re really good! I’ll definitely give you a three-star rating later.
“Ding-Dong!” the system said robotically. “The Smart Cultivation System is at your service! Enjoy one-click management and smart upgrades! Automatic cultivation. End any accidents. No worries about mental demons. Fulfill your dream of ascension!” “…” Pei Ling was speechless.
He composed himself and quickly replied, “The two of you are mistaken. I just happened to obtain this bottle of pills. I don’t know any master.”
Pei Ling quickly calmed down. He had joined the sect for a short time. He did not have time or spirit stones to gain a general knowledge of pills. In his ignorance, he was directly selling superior-grade pills. Now this scene is too f*cking high-profile, making me, a non-committal person, feel very insecure.
Seeing that Pei Ling was unwilling to say anything, Old Man Lin did not dare to say anything because of the rules of the pavilion. He only laughed dryly a few times. However, Jin Sumian did not have such qualms. She grabbed Pei Ling’s arm and refused to let go. She asked, “May I know where you got these pills, Junior Brother?”
“This…” Pei Ling pondered over how to reject her without becoming enemies with her. However, Jin Sumian immediately stuffed a porcelain bottle into his hands and said with a smile,” Junior Brother, I won’t let you work for nothing. This bottle of Essence Enhancing Pills was refined by Senior Sister herself. Junior Brother, please evaluate them.”
“Thank you, Senior Sister!” Pei Ling immediately put away the Essence Enhancing Pill. It would be a waste not to accept benefits that came knocking on his door. Moreover, looking at this Senior Sister’s expression, if he did not accept it, he would offend her.
In that case, Pei Ling immediately said, “A senior brother named Chen Huan rewarded me. As for where Senior Brother Chen got it, I don’t know.”
Jin Sumian asked, “Which peak is Chen Huan from?”
After Pei Ling answered, she bargained with the Old Man Lin and bought a superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill before leaving with satisfaction.
