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

Chapter 88: Picking Up the Pieces

Due to the fact that the new generation disciples have not fully grown up yet, the successor to the position of the next head of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has not been clearly determined. Of course, the situation is similar for other Supreme sects.

To become the leader of a superpower, cultivation is the most important bargaining chip. However, having cultivation alone is not enough. Fate, intelligence, character, accumulated merits, connections, reputation, and other conditions are all indispensable. It also requires a long period of observation and experience before one can finally ascend to the position.

Yueyi Tianjun glanced at Yu Lingzhou and said, "It's normal for you to have a good impression of Qin Muling after receiving such a favor from him. We all feel the same way. However... this little guy is still too young. Is it really a good thing to burden him with such an important responsibility at such an early stage?"

Yun Miao Immortal Lord, who presided over the Pill Hall, calmly said, "Regarding this matter, I agree in principle, but it shouldn't be now. We should wait, at least until he has overcome the Great Tribulation of the Heart Demon before discussing it, right? Otherwise, it really wouldn't be justified!"

The elders pondered over this. Taking everything into account, Qin Muling has not been in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace for long since his arrival. With only the cultivation of the Infant Formation realm, it is indeed quite low. In the eyes of outsiders who are unaware of the truth, he is at most an ordinary core disciple, still in the stage of refining his cultivation and accumulating merits. How could he suddenly become the future leader of the sect?

Moreover, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has always been led by female cultivators. Now, suddenly appointing a man as the Saint Child and heir, especially a newly promoted core disciple with low cultivation, it is difficult not to arouse excessive speculation from the outside world.

Fenghua Immortal Lord, who presided over the Hall of Law, said, "If I were an enemy of the sect, I would probably think of kidnapping this little guy as soon as possible to see what secrets he holds that make Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace value him so much."

The elders nodded in agreement. Although everyone has high hopes for Qin Muling, there are priorities and urgencies. There is no need to put him in the spotlight now, lest he attracts the attention of important figures from other forces and brings unforeseen troubles.

"Then let's do it this way. We can provide him with resources and other benefits comparable to those of the heir, but there is no need to give him the title. We will secretly cultivate him with all our efforts. I look forward to how much surprise he can bring to the sect in the future. If Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace can be revived because of him, the sect can give him everything he wants, not just the position of the heir, but even..."

Mu Yinghua made the final decision, ending the discussion.

Yu Lingzhou was not disappointed and smiled as he proposed a second plan, "The matter of the heir can be discussed in the long term, but what about the matter of a partner? There is no need to delay it any longer, right? For someone with Qin Muling's special bloodline, it is necessary to leave behind offspring as soon as possible. What do you all think?"

Fenghua Immortal Lord asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Yu Lingzhou immediately said, "There is a descendant in my family who has good looks, talent, cultivation, and temperament. Why not give her to him? After all, he is a man, so it's not a problem to have multiple partners. Does anyone object?"

Heh, I'm afraid this is your true intention, right? Seeing that the Supreme disciples and Qin Muling are getting closer, you want to get involved as well? Planning for your own descendants?

Yueyi Tianjun sneered inwardly. This foxy woman is just envious and jealous after seeing that I arranged Luo Huan to be by Qin Muling's side. So now she wants to imitate me.

Mu Yinghua on the cloud bed had a slightly gloomy expression and remained silent.

However, judging from the expressions of the other high-level elders, it seems that they are somewhat interested in this matter. Since Yueyi Tianjun can do it, and Yu Lingzhou can do it, then why can't they?

Whose family doesn't have a bunch of descendants or disciples? Go back and carefully select the most outstanding one to be placed by Qin Muling's side, so that the future discourse power of my own lineage will be guaranteed.

Immortal Lord Yun Miao stared at Yu Lingzhou with suspicion, carefully examining her from head to toe. After her injuries healed, this elder with a loli-like appearance became even more radiant and beautiful. She exuded a lively and youthful aura, like a newly sprouted bud, attracting the attention of even female cultivators.

Could this foxy girl be planning to personally take action? She's simply... too cunning and shameless!

...

Illusory Mist Secret Realm, Yuezhou City.

"...I really didn't expect there to be such a place in this secret realm."

Walking out of the huge long-range teleportation array, Qin Muling looked around curiously. Unlike the cities of the Tianren Clan's remnants, there were an unusually large number of foreign cultivators here. Those who were unfamiliar with the situation might think this place was somewhere in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.

Yuezhou City, to be precise, was a settlement established by foreign cultivators. It had existed since ancient times, allowing cultivators to communicate and trade various resources, both visible and invisible. If they didn't want to sell to the Tianren Clan's remnants, they could bring their goods here for trading.

Beside her, Xue Bingxuan said, "This place is authorized by the high-level members of the Tianren Clan's remnants. It's the only city that foreign cultivators can manage on their own. Of course, the Tianren Clan's remnants also send a certain number of envoys to supervise and ensure that nothing endangers their interests."

"We don't lack money now. We can take a look around here and should be able to find some suitable resources to acquire. It's better than going outside and fighting for our lives."

Qin Muling nodded in agreement. Every time the Illusory Mist Secret Realm opened, thousands of cultivators from the Extreme Void Starry Sky would rush in. The total amount of resources that could be plundered at any given moment was a terrifying number.

Although most of the resources would eventually flow back into the hands of the Tianren Clan's remnants, from the perspective of foreign cultivators, their own cultivation advancement was more important.

Therefore, certain resources that were difficult to obtain but not very suitable for their own use could be considered for resale to other forces of foreign cultivators in exchange for something they needed. Both sides would get what they wanted, resulting in mutual satisfaction.

Accompanied by five senior sisters, Qin Muling wandered around and arrived at the largest market area in the city center. The spacious roads were lined with luxurious and grand storefronts. High-level cultivators dressed in exquisite attire were constantly coming and going, mostly human cultivators with few sightings of other races.

Of course, there were also many cultivators setting up stalls on the roadside, displaying various items, some of which were well-known while others were obscure. Medicinal herbs, beast bones, jade scrolls, ores, and some strange materials of unknown origin attracted many cultivators who wanted to find bargains.

Qin Muling casually glanced at them and had no intention of paying attention. She followed her senior sisters into a magnificent shop by the roadside. Most of these shops were backed by powerful forces, and high-quality items usually only appeared here.

However, just as she was about to enter the shop, a movement in her sea of consciousness drew Qin Muling's attention to a nearby stall.
