I BECAME A CANNON FODDER IN A FEMALE PROTAGONIST CULTIVATION NOVEL Chapter 46-50

"Luckily, I completed the task."

In the solemn and dignified hall, Fang Jinyu handed over the 12 Six Alloy Elixirs he had refined.

Since the Core Formation stage divine sense was magical, Fang Jinyu, who had seen it once, didn't choose to keep it for himself.

Chen Donglai glanced at the 12 Six Alloy Elixirs. He didn't change his expression much and he still looked as cold as ice. It formed a stark contrast between him and the agitated Foundation Establishment stage cultivators around him. However, when he looked at Fang Jinyu, he showed a surprised look.

Afterward, Chen Donglai couldn't help but say, "No wonder Brother Ling asked you to come! You just used one set of spirit herbs to succeed when there are three!"

"Sect leader, you're overpraising me. I succeed because I'm lucky."

Fang Jinyu thought, "As expected, I can't hide the Hundred-Treasure Box that includes the two sets of spirit herbs on me. I wonder if all the Core Formation stage cultivators can do it, or only the late-stage Core Formation cultivators."

Meanwhile, Chen Donglai's words caused the hall to be in an uproar.

The Liudao Sect's cultivators looked at Fang Jinyu in astonishment. They were surprised that he had only used one set of spirit herbs to refine 12 Six Alloy Elixirs.

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop refining the following elixirs?"

Although 12 Six Alloy Elixirs were enough to create 12 pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivators, there were more than a hundred cultivators that ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage in major sects such as the Liudao Sect!

More than a hundred cultivators ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, but there were only 12 elixirs. How were they going to spilt it as demand greatly exceeded supply?

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but look at him as if he was looking at an idiot. He said, "Are you kidding me? Do you dare to break the rules of the alchemy world? Why do you think I dare?"𝒩𝑂𝓋𝐞𝑙𝓃𝗲xt.𝓬𝑜𝑚

If Fang Jinyu wasn't at the Liudao Sect, he would have been cursing him.

It was because the person who asked the question was only a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Obviously, he had just broken through the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago.

The reason he could appear in the hall was due to his family.

Meanwhile, Chen Donglai said, "This is the superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace we agreed on. Here you go!" When he said it, he was still expressionless.

The sect leader's words could be considered to have set the tone of the matter.

No matter how unwilling the others were in their hearts, they could only nod in agreement.

Fang Jinyu thought that the matter had come to an end. After all, although there were retards in the Liudao Sect, Chen Donglai was a normal cultivator.

According to the book, although Chen Donglai had once fallen in love with the female lead, Su Yier, he felt that she had found someone she truly loved after finding out she had an affair with someone else. Thus, after giving her his blessings, he no longer pestered her and disappeared with the snow that year.

After Fang Jinyu received the superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace he had been yearning for a long time, he happily prepared to leave.

Fang Jinyu could be considered a top alchemist since he had a superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace.

It was hard to find a magical alchemy furnace. Even a semi-magical alchemy furnace had to rely on heaven and earth to nurture it, not to mention that it was compatible with one's cultivation attributes.

Therefore, many alchemists would do their best to obtain a superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace.

However, since the stargazing flying ship that could go to the Tianling Sect had yet to arrive, Fang Jinyu could only wait a few days in the immortal city of the Liudao Sect.

Unfortunately, Fang Jinyu's delay led to an incident.

When Fang Jinyu had just checked into an immortal inn, a group of people suddenly barged in and disturbed him before he could cultivate in the garden.

The leader was dressed in red.

It was the "bad apple."

"Liu Yuxiu?" Fang Jinyu frowned slightly and called the man's name.

However, the man in red's subordinate was unhappy with how Fang Jinyu addressed him. He shouted, "How dare you! How dare you call Senior Brother Liu's name?"

Fang Jinyu ignored the man and asked Liu Yuxiu, "What do you want?"

Liu Yuxiu smiled and said, "It's nothing much. All I ask is that you refine two more furnaces of Six Alloy Elixirs."

"No problem, prepare twenty portions of spirit herbs."

After Liu Yuxiu heard it, he shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Fang, I think you've misunderstood me. What I meant is I want you to refine the Six Alloy Elixirs with the two portions of spirit herbs you have."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ask, "Are you kidding me?" The book once mentioned that Liu Yuxiu was a bad guy, but he hadn't expected him to be such a bastard.

He had earned the two portions of spirit herbs with his abilities!

However, it looked like Liu Yuxiu wanted Fang Jinyu to pay out of his pocket and was also planning to make him work for him for free?!

"Junior Brother Fang, I'm now gently persuading you because I don't want to make you look bad! I have two cultivators who rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, and my family owns this immortal inn. Do you think you can leave?" Liu Yuxiu sneered, and he didn't bother to hide his intention of threatening Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu asked, "Does your father know about this?"

"This is my father's will."

Liu Yuxiu snorted.

Liu Yuxiu then continued, "It's fine if you don't want to refine it, but hand over the two portions of spirit herbs!"

"Alright!"

Fang Jinyu immediately took out the Hundred-Treasure Box that contained the two sets of spirit herbs.

The two sets of spirit herbs were undoubtedly precious. Most of them could only be used by Core Formation stage cultivators. However, compared to his safety, Fang Jinyu would naturally give up on it.

Liu Yuxiu didn't expect Fang Jinyu to be so decisive. However, he had expected it to happen. The best situation was if he could get the two sets of spirit herbs back.

After all, the Liudao Sect was inferior to their past. To keep up its good name, the current Liudao Sect desperately needs a group of pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivators.

Otherwise, Liu Yuxiu's father wouldn't allow him to do this.

Although the Six Alloy Elixir was a Foundation Establishment stage elixir, the spirit herbs used in it would tempt the Core Formation stage cultivators. It was because the Six Alloy Elixir was made with five hundred years old spirit herbs, most of which were rare species.

Liu Yuxiu felt it was fine that Fang Jinyu refused to refine elixirs for them. In the eyes of the aristocratic families, finding another alchemist wasn't a troublesome matter. At most, they could just hire a Core Formation stage alchemist!

However, it might cause the secret of the Six Alloy Elixir to be leaked…

Fang Jinyu didn't do anything as he watched Liu Yuxiu leave. In fact, he behaved himself and waited until the stargazing flying ship returned.

However, Fang Jinyu disembarked halfway through the journey after boarding the stargazing flying ship to head back to the Tianling Sect.

Fang Jinyu appeared in an immortal city.

It was an ordinary immortal city, where cultivators and mortals lived together. There was a great Core Formation stage cultivator in charge here.

The name of the immortal city was "Seven Treasures."

Fang Jinyu came here with a purpose.

"Liu Yuxiu, it seems like the heavens want to destroy the Liudao Sect!"

After asking around, Fang Jinyu arrived at an ordinary-looking elixir store. The elixir store only sold Qi Condensation stage elixirs. Many immortal cities had such elixir stores, which were very common.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't enter the elixir store.

Fang Jinyu found a temporary immortal estate that included an alchemy furnace and refined a furnace of elixirs for himself.

To be more precise, it was a furnace of semi-finished elixirs.

It was because it only had half the power of the Six Alloy Elixirs. It was the result of the lack of spirituality in the spirit herbs used.

After thoroughly understanding the secret of the Six Alloy Elixirs, Fang Jinyu was no longer only good at refining the elixirs.

The effects of the semi-finished Six Alloy Elixirs were simple. Without regard to the cultivator's cultivation base, they could become a pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivator in rank 1 after consuming it!

However, cultivators wouldn't possess any Core Formation stage power. It was only used to bluff.

Chapter 47 The Skeleton Girl

C47 The Skeleton Girl

The Liudao Sect's solemn-style hall, which was filled with superior-tier spiritual artifacts, had a very dismal aura.

"You guys robbed the two sets of spirit herbs?"

Chen Donglai was still the same. He showed a poker face and talked coldly. However, he couldn't hide his impatient and annoyance.

Chen Donglai had been tired of being the Liudao Sect Leader for a long time.

However, since the Liudao Sect and the noble families helped him a lot, he had to be in the position. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what kind of trouble this group of scions who were used to doing whatever they wanted would come up with after he stepped down from the position. Everything would be fine if the three Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters were still around, but now, they had mysteriously disappeared…

With this in mind, Chen Donglai couldn't help but feel a little tired even though he was a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage.

However, due to the special nature of his cultivation method, he could hide his emotions well. Thus, he still looked as cold as ice.

"Sect leader, don't worry. We've already spread the news about Fang Jinyu returning the spirit herbs to us of his own accord. If he doesn't know how to appreciate our kindness, we only need to firmly deny his words. At that time, who will believe in an unknown Foundation Establishment stage cultivator? Everyone will believe us, the Liudao Sect, one of the six great sects, right?"

Liu Yuxiu quickly said.

Although Liu Yuxiu's father was also ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage, Chen Donglai was more likely to break through the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, Liu Yuxiu didn't dare to act rashly in front of Chen Donglai.

Meanwhile, a Core Formation stage cultivator said, "Sect leader, Junior Brother Liu is doing this for the Liudao Sect! Although Fang Jinyu refined 12 Six Alloy Elixirs has exceeded our expectations, it isn't enough. After all, there are quite a few people in the sect who are qualified to obtain a Six Alloy Elixir. Moreover, we also have to keep one or two elixirs for the ordinary disciples who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage."

The Core Formation stage cultivator was Liu Yuxiu's father's disciple. His name was Qiu Shengyi. Although he was a Core Formation stage cultivator, he was only a disciple with no background. Moreover, Core Formation stage cultivators needed more cultivation resources, which made him even rely on the Liu family.

Most of the resources in the cultivation world were under the aristocratic families' control. Among them, the top-notch family had a monopoly of nearly 70% of resources!

The Liu family was one such top-notch family.

It was because one of the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Liudao Sect was from the Liu family.

Chen Donglai glanced at Qiu Shengyi and immediately understood the Liu family's attitude. Hence, he said, "Then who are you going to ask to refine the Six Alloy Elixir?"

Chen Donglai didn't want to get involved in the matter anymore. He wanted to avoid ending up disgracing himself.

"Sect leader, my master has already contacted an old friend of his." Qiu Shengyi immediately laughed, because Chen Donglai's words indicated that the matter would be over. However, they couldn't do such a thing again.

Upon hearing it, Chen Donglai couldn't help but felt strange and asked, "Isn't Elder Liu worried that the prescription of the elixir will be leaked so he has been refusing to ask a Core Formation stage alchemist to refine it?"

Qiu Shengyi laughed awkwardly and said, "It's because there's no other way…" He had once seen the prescription for the Six Alloy Elixir. However, even though he wasn't an alchemist and was only ranked 1 in the Core Formation stage, he could tell that the prescription involved the profoundness of the circulation of the Core Formation stage's magical powers. Not to mention the Core Formation stage cultivators with high cultivation bases.

Luckily, the spirit herbs required for the Six Alloy Elixir were rare, and the Liu family firmly controlled the core spirit herbs.

Therefore, even if the prescription was leaked, they would only encounter some minor troubles.

At the Seven Treasures Immortal City.

A cultivator wearing a bamboo hat walked into an unremarkable small elixir store.

Initially, it wasn't a big deal. Every day, many cultivators would enter and leave the elixir store. They were either here to buy elixirs or sell spirit herbs. Some wealthy cultivators who wanted to learn alchemy would occasionally come to buy spirit herbs.

However, when the cultivator gradually revealed his aura, it triggered the array formation in the elixir store. Afterward, a white-haired came to the front desk in a panic and invited the cultivator to the backyard. He immediately bowed and said, "I, an old man, greets my senior! May I ask if is there something you want to instruct me since you're here?"

The Core Formation stage cultivator said calmly, "Although the Sun family is down and out, you still have a bit of wealth."

The white-haired old man was shocked when he heard it.

Luckily, the mysterious cultivator's following words made him feel at ease.

"Don't worry. I'm not here to trouble you. On the contrary, I have a common enemy with you. It's just that my enmity with the Liu family isn't as deep as your Sun family's."

The white-haired old man couldn't help but ask, "Are you mentioning the Liu family of the Liudao Sect?"

The mysterious cultivator said, "Absolutely!"

The white-haired old man cursed, "The Liu family is indeed a bunch of trash! They are also a bunch of ingrates!" Although he didn't know what kind of enmity the mysterious cultivator had with the Liu family, he was sure that it wasn't wrong to curse them.

The best way to get closer to someone was to scold their common enemy.

The mysterious cultivator said, "I like what you've said. However, I'm here to ask for your Sun family's help to spread a piece of news."

The white-haired old man quickly said, "Senior, please go ahead."

The Sun family was also one of the top-notch families in the past. As the saying goes, a centipede dies but never falls. Even if the Sun family was in decline, they still had some wealth and connections.

Of course, it was best not to use their wealth and connections.

However, how dare he, a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage, reject a great Core Formation stage cultivator who came looking for him?

"The three Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters of the Liudao Sect mysteriously disappeared for a long time. It's just that the Liudao Sect has been hiding the news for a few years."

"What?!" The white-haired old man was shocked.

"You'll understand if you recall the strange things that the Liudao Sect has done over the years." The mysterious cultivator turned around and left.

However, before the mysterious cultivator left the elixir store, he emphasized, "As long as the Liudao Sect isn't destroyed, no matter how much wealth and connections the Sun family has accumulated, it won't be enough to threaten the Liu family."

The white-haired old man was stunned. When he came back to his senses, the mysterious cultivator had disappeared. However, there was a jade bottle in front of him.𝒩𝒪𝒱𝑒𝓛𝑛𝔢xt.𝑐𝑶𝓂

The white-haired old man was shocked as he opened the jade bottle.

It was because there were 10 Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the bottle!

"This senior even know about Ah Yu's condition, so it seems I have to do it. Besides, this senior is right. As long as the Liudao Sect isn't destroyed, those seniors won't dare to attack the Liu family even if they want to help our Sun family." The white-haired old man became serious and made his decision.

However, the white-haired old man had to meet his granddaughter first.

The white-haired old man activated an array formation, and a mysterious passage appeared in a hidden place of the elixir store.

Sorcery energy was lingering in the passage.

As the white-haired old man entered the passage, he soon saw a white skeleton that was as clear as jade. Moreover, he could see a vague figure of a beautiful girl on the white skeleton.

Chapter 48 The Special Yanling Spirit Root

C48 The Special Yanling Spirit Root

Since there was only one stargazing flying ship that could go to the Tianling Sect from the Seven Treasures Immortal City and it would arrive here three days later, Fang Jinyu could only wait in the city.

At this moment, Fang Jinyu had removed his disguise, and his bamboo hat had been turned into ashes by his alchemy furnace.

Fang Jinyu was the person who had gone to the Sun family's elixir store.

Fang Jinyu carefully analyzed his previous actions and said, "10 Foundation Establishment Elixirs are just enough for Sun Xinyu, who has the Yanling spirit root, to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. At the same time, it is also a threat. I hope the Sun family won't do anything stupid."

After all, Fang Jinyu was plotting against one of the six great sects in the Nine Desolations!

Additionally, Fang Jinyu was unable to foresee the enigmatic strategies used by Core Formation stage cultivators and Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Hence, he tried his best to be careful.

It was also the reason why Fang Jinyu didn't spread the news himself but disguised himself before coming to the Sun family!

The book once mentioned the Sun family. The Sun family was once one of the top-notch aristocratic families in the Nine Desolations. They even had several Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Later on, the Sun family encountered problems. Originally, they could have made it through. However, the Liu family, which had received the Sun family's favor in the early years, suddenly launched an attack, causing such a large aristocratic family to fall apart.

The Liu family even burned the Sun family's bridges and caused them to disappear in less than a hundred years.

The Sun family only had Elder Sun and his descendants left. They hid in the Seven Treasures Immortal City and struggled on their last legs until now.

Elder Sun didn't dare to use the heritage left behind by the Sun family because he was afraid of being exposed. As a result, his granddaughter, Sun Xinyu, died young because she failed to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

Sun Xinyu had an extremely special spiritual root—The Yanling spirit root. It was a kind of spiritual root that had only appeared briefly in ancient times!

This kind of spiritual root could turn a living person into a devil and torture them until they lose their humanity. Moreover, cultivators with a Yanling spirit root would be extremely dependent on sorcery energy.

However, it didn't mean that they had to become devils.

As long as the cultivator could break through the Foundation Establishment stage, they would be able to come back from death and recover their vitality. In fact, they could even master powerful techniques that were similar to the authentic spirit's great divine powers while having a Core Formation stage cultivator's lifespan!

It was just that cultivators with a Yanling spirit root needed ten times more resources than ordinary cultivators to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

Initially, Elder Sun had prepared 300000 spirit stones for his granddaughter to let her break through the Foundation Establishment stage. Unfortunately, he encountered a sudden surge in the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

On the other hand, cultivators with a Yanling spirit root only had less than a year left to live after they turned into devils.

A year wasn't enough for Elder Sun to get 700000 spirit stones. After all, his elixir store's customers were all Qi Condensation stage cultivators. How many spirit stones could he earn from a Qi Condensation stage elixir?

"I think I didn't make any mistakes in my words and actions."

Fang Jinyu recalled the whole situation and calmed down.

The book mentioned that Su Yier's admirer dared to spread the news to the outside world as he pleased because he was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

He was a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Nascent Soul stage!

With such a cultivation base, even if the three missing Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Liudao Sect returned, they wouldn't dare to seek out Su Yier's admirer for revenge.

However, things were different for Fang Jinyu. It was because he was solely a cultivator who ranked 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage would be enough to make him suffer, let alone a Core Formation stage cultivator. It could be said that cultivators who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage would be completely different from cultivators who ranked below 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage. The difference was bigger than the gap of strength between a Qi Condensation stage cultivator and a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

It was because a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage could refine the spiritual fire.

It was especially so for those spiritual fires that could be ranked on the spiritual fire ranking. Just a wisp of it was enough to easily kill a cultivator who ranked below 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, even if the cultivator had the authentic spirit bloodline!

After that, Fang Jinyu began to cultivate his great divine powers.

Fang Jinyu wouldn't refine the Core Spirit Elixir since he was outside the sect. Even though he had all the spiritual items on him, he was still worried. He took the chance to study the supreme wind-thunder scripture since he didn't have the time to cultivate the lightning-attribute great divine powers in it.

The lifeless thunderstorm technique was different from the myriad transformation technique, the wind-attributed great divine power. The lifeless thunderstorm technique would instantly erupt and could kill the enemy at the moment the thunder appeared!

Fang Jinyu had expected that he would only be able to understand half of it in three days. However, he was surprised that his initial success in cultivating the myriad transformation technique had helped him understand the lifeless thunderstorm technique. Moreover, he obtained two gains in lightning-attribute great divine power, which allowed him to successfully cultivate the beginner level of the lifeless thunderstorm technique three days later.

Although Fang Jinyu had lost too much of his lightning-attribute inner energy, he only needed to go back and refine a furnace of elixirs that could increase his vital energy, and he would recover.

After all, Fang Jinyu had the authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline.

It could generate lightning!

Naturally, Fang Jinyu was in a good mood after cultivating the lifeless thunderstorm technique. It was only when he arrived at the place where he was waiting for the stargazing flying ship that he realized that he had no more spirit stones on him.

Previously, Ling Xiaojiu had only given Fang Jinyu two "tickets" for the stargazing flying ship, which was just enough for him to make a round trip.

Ads by Pubfuture

Although Fang Jinyu had gotten off the stargazing flying ship halfway, he had used up his second ticket.

"Forget it! When the time comes, I'll just use a Foundation Establishment Elixir to pay for it." However, Fang Jinyu didn't care much about it since he had plenty of Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Although Fang Jinyu had exchanged more than a hundred of them in the sect, he still had plenty of them left.

Meanwhile, a huge stargazing flying ship slowly landed. The cultivators, who had been waiting for a long time, went up to buy the "tickets" and prepared to board.

Fang Jinyu followed after the crowd. However, a dispute broke out between a man and a woman. They were both Qi Condensation stage cultivators. Fang Jinyu wasn't in the mood to gossip until he heard the woman's name, Fang Ning.

"Could she be that 'Fang Ning'?"

Fang Jinyu recalled a character mentioned in the book. Fang Ning was also an unlucky person, and more importantly, she was related to Fang Jinyu by blood.

Thus, Fang Jinyu listened carefully.

Fang Jinyu heard the woman called "Fang Ning" shout, "I'm your fiancée! But you want to sleep with another man for a Foundation Establishment Elixir?!" At this moment, he was sure that she was his distant cousin. She was one of the top ten unlucky characters in the book.

Hence, Fang Jinyu walked over.

Meanwhile, the man was so angry that he slapped Fang Ning as he roared.

𝔫𝑂𝐯𝓔𝓁𝗇𝞮xt.𝗰𝗈𝐌

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

There were two sharp smacks. The first was the man who slapped Fang Ning, and the second was Fang Jinyu who slapped the man. Fang Jinyu slapped the man hard, which sent the man flying even though he didn't use his inner energy. The man spat out a mouthful of blood when he fell to the ground.

Fang Jinyu took out a Foundation Establishment Elixir and threw it at the man.

"Your engagement with her is called off."

After Fang Jinyu said it, he pulled Fang Ning up in the stargazing flying ship. As for the "ticket," he used a Foundation Establishment Elixir to pay for it.

Due to the skyrocketing price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir, even if Fang Jinyu sold it at half the price, it would still be enough to pay for their "tickets."

Ever since Fang Ning was slapped by her fiancé, she had been in a daze. It wasn't until Fang Jinyu pulled her onto the ship that she came back to her senses.

When Fang Ning realized that she was on the stargazing flying ship, she was shocked. Afterward, she was stunned to see Fang Jinyu.

After a moment of hesitation, Fang Ning said in disbelief, "Brother Jinyu?"

"It's me."

Fang Jinyu naturally didn't have any memories of Fang Ning. However, it didn't stop him from answering her. It was because his cousin had a miserable ending in the book!

According to the book, Fang Ning's scumbag fiancé would deceive her from the beginning to the end. Moreover, she would also die tragically after being abandoned by her scumbag fiancé.

It could be said that Fang Ning had lost both her life and wealth.

Chapter 49 Did You Raise Pigs Before?

C49 Did You Raise Pigs Before?

[Today is a day to peel oranges and comfort your heartbroken sister.]

[Refined appearance +1]

Fang Jinyu took a glance and found that it was a useless gain in his appearance again. However, his heart didn't waver since he knew he couldn't gain anything from the ordinary Fang Ning.

Fang Jinyu had known it beforehand.

The only reason Fang Jinyu helped Fang Ning was that she ended up having a miserable life in the book.

First, Fang Ning suffered a lot just to earn a few more spirit stones for her fiancé to cultivate. She had three-element spiritual roots. However, it made her delay her cultivation progress for ten years, and was still ranked 2 in the Qi Condensation stage.

It was because Fang Ning had given all the spirit stones she had saved to her fiancé.

Fang Ning was coaxed by her fiancé to sleep with several men. After suffering all the humiliation, she finally managed to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir for her fiancé.

Afterward, Fang Ning's fiancé abandoned her after he successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment stage. From that moment, he disappeared.

Fang Ning's fiancé left the heavily injured Fang Ning behind and she foolishly waited for her fiancé to return. However, her fiancé's enemy came to skin her alive and even refined her into a Human Skeleton Elixir.

It was an extremely brutal and inhumane alchemy method.

At the same time, it was also a common method among the strongest apocalypse demons.

If the Lei sisters were unlucky that the word "miserable" could be written on their bodies. Then, Fang Ning's thighs would undoubtedly be filled with the word "miserable".

Although the Lei sisters were refined into a magic treasure, they died very quickly and didn't suffer any torture.

However, Fang Ning had suffered a lot in her life and still couldn't live in peace after death.

"Have another orange!" Fang Jinyu had nothing to say, so he peeled another orange for Fang Ning.

Fang Ning pouted and refused, "Thank you, Brother Jinyu, but I really can't eat it anymore." At first, she was quite upset, but after she ate her fill, she wasn't sad anymore. She only wanted to lie down for a while to digest the oranges.

Fang Jinyu nodded and put down the orange in his hand.

Although the former Fang Jinyu had met Fang Ning when he was young, Fang Jinyu had no impression of her at all. Hence, Fang Jinyu believed that the former Fang Jinyu had forgotten that he had such a distant cousin.

However, Fang Jinyu could understand him because he and Fang Ning were of different generations.

Moreover, their meeting when they were young was just a coincidence.

Fang Jinyu said, "When we reach the Tianling Sect, I'll give you a Messenger Talisman. You can go to the Little Tianling Yard and use it for registration."

Fang Ning was shocked and said, "What?"

Fang Jinyu said, "I'm a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. I can let you join the sect directly." Although he had given his recommendation spot to the little girl, he believed the sect leader was willing to help in the matter since he was an alchemist.

After all, Fang Ning had three-element spiritual roots, and she wasn't untalented.

"Brother Jinyu, you're already a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?!" Only then did Fang Ning realize that she had shouted a little too loudly. She then said embarrassedly, "Oh, yeah! After all, you've already taken out a Foundation Establishment Elixir."

Fang Jinyu advised Fang Ning, "Work hard on your cultivation. I'll give you Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the future."

"Brother Jinyu, thank you so much!" Fang Ning was so touched that she looked like she wanted to cry. When she was touched, she took out a piece of animal skin paper that was slightly damaged and handed it to Fang Jinyu. She said, "Brother Jinyu, I'm sorry that I've nothing to repay you. However, I accidentally found this on the corpse of a wild beast that had died strangely when I was picking herbs."

Fang Jinyu's expression was a little strange. After Fang Ning took out the animal skin paper, his fortune-telling technique reacted.𝑛𝔬𝒱𝖊𝓁𝗇𝔢xt.𝔠𝒐𝐦

Although the reaction wasn't very strong, it wasn't weak either.

This time, Fang Jinyu wasn't stingy with his luck. Thus, after a moment, he couldn't help but look at the animal skin paper in disbelief. It was because the whereabouts of a type of spiritual fire was recorded on it.

Moreover, it was a lighting-attribute spiritual fire.

It was the purple-volt spiritual fire!

The purple-volt spiritual fire was ranked seventh on the Nine Desolations' spiritual fire ranking.

It could be said that it was one of the top spiritual fires in the history of cultivation in the Nine Desolations.

"No wonder the book mentioned that Fang Ning's fiancé will have such an enemy." Fang Jinyu understood the situation. If he hadn't interfered with Fang Ning's matter, she would have continued to be deceived by her fiancé, and then she would have fallen out of her mind and given the animal skin paper to her fiancé.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Did I unintentionally gain benefits from someone I've helped?"

"The purple-volt spiritual fire is more valuable than getting a magic treasure, even though all I get today is a useless gain in my appearance."

After all, it was a lighting-attribute spiritual fire!

"Brother Jinyu, do you recognize the contents of this animal skin paper?" Fang Ning saw Fang Jinyu change his expression. However, she didn't feel the animal skin paper change much. It was because the contents were still the same pattern and symbols that she couldn't understand.

Fang Jinyu didn't deny it and said, "It's a thing that can be considered to have recorded something extraordinary."

"That's great!"

Fang Ning immediately laughed happily. At the same time, she felt relieved because she didn't want to owe Fang Jinyu anything.

Fang Jinyu continued, "If you have once shown this thing to others, then you can't leave the Tianling Sect for the next ten years." The strange symbols on the animal skin paper were the words of the apocalypse demons. It could be said that it was an apocalypse demon's treasure map that was lost here.

According to the book, after Fang Ning's fiancé broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, he was curious and got someone to translate the contents of the animal skin paper. Afterward, the apocalypse demons there discovered him and led to the pursuit.

Even a Core Formation stage cultivator would be tempted by the purple-volt spiritual fire!

"However, he probably won't have a chance." Fang Jinyu thought of the Foundation Establishment Elixir that he had deliberately thrown out in public. For him, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs were unnecessary, but things were different for the other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. It was their "divine weapon" to avoid decades of suffering in the immortal city.

After all, most of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in immortal cities had to rely on loans to buy Foundation Establishment Elixirs to break through their cultivation.

For the sake of its reputation, the immortal cities wouldn't force the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to work for that many years. As long as cultivators paid enough spirit stones, or they paid a Foundation Establishment Elixir and 100000 spirit stones as interest, they would be exempted from labor.

Therefore, Fang Ning's fiancé would definitely die!

There would definitely be Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the Seven Treasures Immortal City who couldn't help but kill him!

Thinking of this, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little amazed. Without realizing it, he had the capital to kill someone without having to do it himself. Afterward, he peeled an orange and brought it to Fang Ning's mouth. He said, "Here, have another orange."

Fang Ning was speechless.

Fang Jinyu noticed Fang Ning was looking at him strangely, and he looked over. He then remembered that she had eaten her fill, so he took the orange back and broke off a piece to put in his mouth.

The "ticket" from the Seven Treasures Immortal City to the Tianling Sect cost 10000 spirit stones. It cost an additional 5000 spirit stones for a business-class room.

Fang Jinyu was currently in a business-class room.

Naturally, a business-class room would have high-quality services. The oranges were the exclusive gift of the business-class room.

It was a type of spirit orange that required three years to bear fruit, so it contained a lot of spiritual energy. Although it couldn't improve a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's cultivation base, it tasted excellent. As a result, Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and even Core Formation stage cultivators would still purchase it.

Suddenly, Fang Ning asked, "Brother Jinyu, did you raise pigs in the village before?"

Chapter 50 This Girl Is A Little Weak

C50 This Girl Is A Little Weak

In the Seven Treasures Immortal City, the Sun family's elixir store, which had suddenly announced that it would be closed for several days, finally reopened. However, nobody cared about it because more than a dozen small elixir stores like the Sun families' were operating in the Seven Treasures Immortal City.

Only people who were used to doing business in the Sun family's elixir store would care about it.

Afterward, the cultivators who had entered the elixir store for the opening of it all found a strange, beautiful young girl inside. People describe the girl in such a way because the girl's skin was ashen as if she had no blood in her body. Not only did she look thin, but she also looked fragile as if she could fall apart at any time!

Even an old man with one foot in the grave seemed to have a longer life than the young girl.

However, none of the Qi Condensation stage cultivators who entered the store dared to be presumptuous. They even respected the young girl.

It was because the young girl was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

Soon, the news that the owner of the Sun family, Elder Sun's granddaughter had successfully broken through the Foundation Establishment stage spread like wildfire.

After all, the matter of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was a big deal for any rogue cultivator.

Since the Sun family didn't show any signs of purchasing the Foundation Establishment Elixir, it even attracted the city lord to send people to inquire about the situation. Of course, the city lord didn't intend to question Elder Sun. The city lord just wanted to remind Elder Sun and his granddaughter not to spread the Foundation Establishment Elixirs if they had any of them.

It was because only the monopolized Foundation Establishment Elixirs were worth money!

Otherwise, a Foundation Establishment Elixir would at most be worth 2000 spirit stones. After all, the early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators' "divine elixir"—Spirit Summoning Elixir, only cost 800 spirit stones per elixir. Not to mention that the Foundation Establishment Elixir was only an elixir that could help the Qi Condensation stage cultivators to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. The initial price of 30000 spirit stones was raised by the joint efforts of the various sects and the aristocratic families!𝒩𝒪𝑽𝓮𝗅𝚗𝓔xt.𝑐𝒐𝗆

Initially, the people sent by the city lord wanted to invite Elder Sun's granddaughter to work for the city lord. After all, in their eyes, Elder Sun's granddaughter was a cultivator who naturally broke through the Foundation Establishment stage and would be good at fighting. However, they immediately changed their mind when they saw Sun Xinyu's "weak" appearance.

It was because the city lord had to compensate a large sum of spirit stones if a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who worked for them died.

Even if the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator had died in an accident and not in the line of duty!

They were worried that "Fairy Sun" might accidentally overuse her inner energy while cultivating and end up killing herself.

Therefore, no matter how envious they were of a cultivator who naturally broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, they decisively gave up on her.

"Fairy Sun, I'll see myself out. Please stop sending me off." After persuading Sun Xinyu, the people sent by the city lord left in a hurry.

Sun Xinyu couldn't help but snort.

Sun Xinyu thought, "Hmph! I only looked weak, but I'm not that weak! I have just dispersed the aura of death and recovered my vitality. It's hard for me to regain my body of flesh and blood, alright?!"

"If it was a few days ago, they would only be able to see my skeleton!"

Meanwhile, Elder Sun walked out and cast a look at Sun Xinyu. Sun Xinyu understood and went to the backyard with her grandfather.

Elder Sun finally opened his mouth and said softly, "We just need to wait for three more days. The news that the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Liudao Sect disappeared will spread like wildfire."

Sun Xinyu thought for a while and said, "Great! Since our Sun family had already done as we were told, I believe the senior won't harm us. However, Grandfather, we must move to another place just in case. Since he can find us here, it means that others can also find us here."

"I've already found the new place. It's a secret place of our Sun family in the early years. If I hadn't accidentally found the key I lost back then, I wouldn't have remembered the place. Ah Yu, now that you have 500 years of life, you can stay there and break through the Core Formation stage!"

When Sun Xinyu heard Elder Sun's words, she couldn't help but slightly change her expression. She asked, "Grandfather, how about you?"

"Since I'm old, I don't have many years left to live. If the Liu family finds out about the secret place due to my activation, I'll stay here and attract their attention for you." After Elder Sun finished speaking, he laughed carefreely.

Elder Sun would die without regrets if he could exchange his death for his granddaughter's safe journey to the secret place and nurture a Core Formation stage cultivator for the Sun family!

Sun Xinyu said with a frown, "But... Grandfather, you're only ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage, and you can only make some elixirs for the Qi Condensation stage cultivators. Moreover, you're not even an alchemist. Even if the Liu family knows about it, they will at most send an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator here. They might not even care."

Meanwhile, Elder Sun's facial expression stiffened.

Elder Sun's passion, which was just ignited, was all gone in an instant.

Elder Sun glared at his granddaughter and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Although it was the truth, it hurt his pride!

"Grandfather, please don't be angry. I have a better idea."

"What idea?"

"Previously, it was not convenient for me to meet people before I broke through the Foundation Establishment stage. But now, it's fine since I've already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage. I believe the Tianling Sect won't reject a cultivator who has a Yanling spirit root and is sure to break through the Core Formation stage. Grandfather, as long as I join the Tianling Sect, you will also be protected by the sect." Sun Xinyu's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she spoke. It was the idea she had long planned.

Elder Sun was shocked and asked, "Why did you choose the Tianling Sect while the Wanyuan Sect is the closest sect to us? The Wanyuan Sect has a Core Formation stage cultivator, and they once received a favor from our Sun family 300 years ago." Elder Sun had considered joining a great sect before. He thought of the Wanyuan Sect because it was one of the six great sects of the Nine Desolations.

"Sometimes, people who received help from us might become our enemies." Sun Xinyu shook her head and continued, "Moreover, if that person remembers the favor we gave him back then, how could he not have done anything all these years? I remember that he's already a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage, right?"

Elder Sun immediately became speechless.

Sun Xinyu continued, "As for why I chose the Tianling Sect? It's because the Tianling Sect is the only one of the six great sects that aren't completely controlled by the aristocratic families. Hence, it can ensure fairness to the greatest extent. Previously, the price of Foundation Establishment Elixir had skyrocketed everywhere, except for the Tianling Sect."

Elder Sun asked, "Isn't that because of an overly kind and honest alchemist?" He had heard about the incident. If the incident hadn't happened in the Tianling Sect and the alchemist was willing to exchange the Foundation Establishment Elixirs with cultivators outside the sect, he would have rushed over a long time ago.

"However, the alchemist is still safe and sound, right? What would happen to the alchemist if it was a different sect, such as the Liudao Sect?"

Elder Sun was speechless. If there was an alchemist who dared to do such a thing, even in the Liudao Sect, where alchemists were scarce, the alchemist would definitely die.

Hence, Elder Sun immediately packed up his luggage and sold the elixir store. He was ready to leave with his granddaughter.

Elder Sun didn't plan to return, even if the Tianling Sect refused to accept Sun Xinyu.

It was because this place was no longer safe.

However, if someone like Elder Sun, who suddenly sold his family business, wanted to leave smoothly, he had to report his situation to the city lord. Initially, he thought the process would be troublesome. However, he didn't expect the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in charge of the matter to be particularly easygoing. He immediately let them go when he heard Elder Sun was leaving with his granddaughter.

Once Elder Sun left, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's disciple couldn't help but ask, "Master, I heard that Elder Sun's granddaughter has broken through the Foundation Establishment stage. If we easily let them go, I'm afraid the city lord will blame us when he finds out…"

"There's something you don't know. Elder Sun's granddaughter is extremely weak. Elder Sun sells his family business and leaves here, most likely to seek doctors for his granddaughter, who just broke through the Foundation Establishment stage."
