Chapter 95: Senior Sister, Please Don’t Die…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pei Ling had no time to care about Jin Sumian.

Because the Nine Nether Frost Spring Water was too painful!

As soon as his body was immersed in it, it was as if a dismemberment had begun.

Countless sharp blades slashed through his entire body. As time passed, the pain became more and more intense.

That was not all. After all, he was someone who had absorbed fire into his body. Pei Ling cursed at the system while guarding against Jin Sumian’s outburst.

However, what he did not expect was that as the system cultivated, the originally quiet Cold Marrow Fire gradually became lively.

An azure flame lit up from the depths of his pupils. After absorbing the essence of the Nine Nether Cold Spring Water, it slowly spread throughout his body.

F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

Stupid system!

Trash retard!

F*ck your ancestors!

Pei Ling did not expect that after enduring the flames once, he would still have to endure the burning flames and the dismemberment.

“So you stole my Cold Marrow Fire!” Just as he was cursing the system, he suddenly heard an angry shout. “I…”

Jin Sumian’s state of mind had been fluctuating intensely just now and she was already injured. Now that she was furious, it made things worse. Before she could finish, she spat out another mouthful of blood and fell weakly to the edge of the bathtub, unconscious!

“…” Pei Ling was speechless.

Sigh.

Destroy.

The system remained indifferent and focused on cultivating.

The Nine Nether Cold Spring Water was originally very heavy and ink-black. Every drop was like a steel bead. However, as time passed, the color of the cold spring water became fainter and fainter.

After a night, there was only a basin of clear water left in the bathtub. Pei Ling’s body suddenly shook, and all the pain receded like the tide, replaced by strength.

In his limbs and bones, spiritual power flowed. As it flowed, it was clearly much stronger than the sixth level of Qi Refinement!

Seventh level of Qi Refinement!

At the same time, the system notification sounded in his ear again. “Ding Dong! This cultivation session is over. Thank you for using the smart cultivation system. You have ascended without a worry with a single click! I look forward to you sharing your cultivation evaluation. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star rating!”

Pei Ling’s face turned ashen. He first gave it a one-star rating before jumping out of the bathtub and putting on his clothes as quickly as possible. Just as he was about to seize the opportunity to escape, he saw Jin Sumian lying on the bathtub with her head lowered and her hair in a mess. He recalled her actions and realized that she had not moved since she fainted last night.

“…” After hesitating for a moment, Pei Ling walked over warily and pushed her shoulder. “Senior Sister? Senior Sister?”

Jin Sumian slid into the bathtub.

Pei Ling’s expression changed. This Senior Sister had better not die!

The first time he went to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to sell pills, he had heard of Jin Sumian’s reputation.

Not to mention the three high-level Qi Refinement disciples who were fawning over Jin Sumian at that time, Jin Sumian had already been designated as the successor by the inner sect elders. If anything happened to her, even Zheng Jingshan might not be able to protect him!

Pei Ling did not dare to be negligent. He quickly carried her out of the bathtub and placed her on the soft couch beside him. He pushed aside her wet long hair, revealing her pale face. The corners of her mouth were stained with blood that had dried up.

To Pei Ling’s relief, although this senior sister’s breathing was almost non-existent, she was clearly still alive.

I remember that this senior sister is an alchemist. There must be medicinal pills in her cave abode… With this thought, Pei Ling casually pulled a blanket over Jin Sumian and hurriedly went to find medicinal pills.

Soon, he found a bunch of bottles and jars from various corners.

However, there was a problem. Other than the Bone Tempering Pill, the Jade Growing Pill, the Qi and Blood Pill, and the Essence Enhancing Pill, he did not know anything else!

Should I feed one casually? This irresponsible thought was rejected by Pei Ling as soon as it surfaced in his mind. After all, this was an alchemist from the Demon Sect. Who knew what these pills in front of him were?

He thought for a while and stuffed an Essence Enhancing Pill and a Qi and Blood Pill into Jin Sumian’s hands. He stuffed the rest of the pills into his storage bag and planned to ask about them at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

“Breaking into the cave abode, snatching other people’s belongings, disturbing others’ cultivation… I remember that I’ll only be fined a few thousand spirit stones in total.” With this thought, he did not dare to delay any longer. He took Jin Sumian’s nameplate and hurriedly walked out. “As long as this senior sister doesn’t die, this fine is not a big deal.”

There was an array formation around Jin Sumian’s cave abode. Last night, the system had controlled his body to break in. Pei Ling did not know how to set up an array formation. Fortunately, although it was difficult to enter this cave abode, it was very convenient to leave.

He only took a step out of the door and was already standing outside the cave abode.

However, before Pei Ling could figure out which direction led to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, a huge lantern suddenly descended from the sky. In the lantern, Lu Luqiang looked at him in surprise. “Who are you? Why did you come out of Junior Sister Jin’s cave abode at this time?”

“I…” Pei Ling’s mind raced. Just as he was thinking about how to brush it off, Lu Luqiang suddenly slapped him!

Pei Ling did not have time to think as he hurriedly dodged to the side.

At this moment, he felt that his hand was empty. He saw Lu Luqiang standing 30 feet away from him with Jin Sumian’s nameplate in her hand. Her face was cold. “Why is Junior Sister Jin’s nameplate in your hand?”

Without waiting for Pei Ling to answer, she activated the array formation and rushed inside.

Pei Ling was shocked when he saw this. Without thinking, he activated the Blood Ghost Escape Technique and flashed in close to her back.

In a flash, the two of them appeared in the cave abode at almost the same time.

“Junior Sister Jin!” Lu Luqiang shouted. Seeing that no one answered, she immediately walked into the cave abode.

However, just as she moved, Pei Ling suddenly stopped her and said in a low voice, “Senior Sister, please stay. Senior Sister Jin is not feeling well now. Please don’t disturb her.”

He could not let her know that Jin Sumian was dying!

Lu Luqiang was furious. “Who are you? Junior Sister Jin has never mentioned you to me!”

Huh?

Does this senior sister not recognize me?

Pei Ling was stunned for a moment before he was secretly delighted. He immediately said, “Senior Sister, it seems like there’s no need for Sumian to tell you about me and her, right?”

“…” Sumian? He’s actually so close to Junior Sister Jin?

Lu Luqiang choked. She thought about it carefully and was speechless.

“Senior Sister, it’s not appropriate for Sumian to greet you in her situation now. You should put down her nameplate and leave first.” Seeing this, Pei Ling became even more righteous. “Don’t delay our business.”

Delaying your business?

Lu Luqiang had always prided herself on being as close as a sister to Jin Sumian. Even Shao Ningzhi, who had always pursued Jin Sumian, did not dare to offend her. When had she ever been ostracized by others regarding Jin Sumian?

She glared at Pei Ling and suddenly slapped him.

Pei Ling had just suffered a loss, but he was already on guard at this moment. Unfortunately, the system did not bring the Life-Extinguishing Blade with it during its cultivation this time. He could only use his palm as a saber and slash down from above, using the Blood Malevolence Saber Art!

“Slash!”

Pei Ling’s hand was surrounded by a dense blood aura as he easily cut through Lu Luqiang’s palm force.

Seeing that her attack had failed, Lu Luqiang’s figure swayed. Her footsteps were like flowers circling a tree as she suddenly turned behind Pei Ling. Her palm instantly turned into a beast claw that grabbed at Pei Ling’s back.

However, just as the tip of the claw touched Pei Ling’s robe, he turned into a ball of blood and disappeared from Lu Luqiang’s vision.

The second move missed again. Lu Luqiang was slightly stunned. The other party was only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, but he had actually dodged her attacks twice in a row.

However, before she could think further, she felt a chill on her neck. She hurriedly turned around and saw that Pei Ling’s hand was already on her neck…

This senior sister at the eighth level of Qi Refinement is so weak!
