When Fang Jin learned that he was in a cultivation novel where the protagonist was a lady and that he had become cannon fodder, he quickly racked his brain to think of a way to save himself.
Everything seemed wrong until he saw it.

Read I Became A Cannon Fodder In A Female Protagonist Cultivation Novel - Chapter 1 online free - Novelfull
If Things Go as Expected, He Will Meet an Accident
"Su Yier's eyes were sparkling, innocent, yet charming, making one fall for her. Her red lips were slightly open, and her breath fragranced orchids. Then, she took off her clothes, revealing her white and sexy shoulders…."
(10,000 words are omitted to protect the availability of the book.)
...
Fang Jinyu put down the book in his hand and was lost in his thoughts.
In the end, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be sure that he had now transmigrated into a female protagonist cultivation novel. However, before his transmigration, he had never read such a female protagonist cultivation novel.
He was definitely in the worst situation!
And how did Fang Jinyu realize the situation?
It was related to the book in his hand.
This morning, the book suddenly appeared in front of him. The book was about a woman named Su Yier who benched numerous handsome guys with her beauty and talent during her cultivation. Such as her senior brother, her junior brother, her martial uncle, her master, the Lich King, the King of Demons, and many others…
It wasn't the end of the story, but the book stopped mentioning Su Yier.
Fang Jinyu felt like crying, but the tears wouldn't come. It wasn't because he had no idea about the story's second half. It was because of his identity! He was cannon fodder who had only lived for one chapter in the book!
If things had gone as expected, he would have had an accident today.
According to the book's description, Su Yier was doted on by her master after acknowledging him. Since her spiritual roots were too poor, her master was planning to give her a chance to visit the Lingdu Secret Realm.
The Lingdu Secret Realm was a place full of cultivating opportunities prepared for the inner disciples. Although it wasn't hazardous, there were plenty of cultivation opportunities. Every disciple who once entered the Lingdu Secret Realm would successfully breakthrough from the Qi Condensation stage to the Foundation Establishment stage while leaving!
Therefore, all of the Tianling Sect's disciples were looking forward to visiting the Lingdu Secret Realm.
However, since there were so many benefits to visiting the Lingdu Secret Realm, the number of people allowed to enter would definitely be limited. The Lingdu Secret Realm was opened once every 30 years, and new reservations for being allowed to enter needed to wait at least 100 years later.
Of course, there would also be some particular cultivators allowed to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm.
For example, Fang Jinyu was allowed particularly to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. Since Fang Jinyu's parents sacrificed themselves for the Tianling Sect, the Tianling Sect Leader allowed him to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm.
However, he was also the last one to be allowed particularly.
As such, after Su Yier's master failed to obtain a chance for her from the sect leader, she immediately targeted Fang Jinyu.
It was because he had no background in the Tianling Sect.
Ultimately, Fang Jinyu wasn't able to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. His chance was forcefully taken away by Su Yier's master with his words, "Su Yier can't wait for thirty years."
Fang Jinyu had to face reality even though he was naturally dissatisfied with the situation. He had no choice but to drown his sorrows. However, he accidentally fell off the cliff and lost his life.
It seemed that Fang Jinyu's death was caused by his carelessness.
However, Fang Jinyu was already at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage!
Would a cultivator at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage die because he was drunk? Who the heck would believe such nonsense! Although a cultivator at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage couldn't fly a magical item, he could still stay in the air for a short time. Moreover, not to mention that he learned the wind harness technique, which was a technique that wind spiritual roots cultivators had to learn.
As for Fang Jinyu, he was a cultivator with wind, lightning, and fire spiritual roots. He had already mastered the wind harness technique many years ago.
Hence, there was definitely something going on behind the scenes of Fang Jinyu's death in the book.
"Is there anything more unlucky than such a situation?"
Fang Jinyu's heart was stifled.
Meanwhile, the book that appeared early in the morning suddenly turned into a burst of starlight and disappeared.
"Aah, it disappeared…"
"There's no detailed description either…"
Fang Jinyu was a little shocked, but his expression was calm. He could handle the situation calmly because he had dealt with too many bizarre cases in a short time.
Then he began to think of a countermeasure.
First, he ruled out the possibility of using force to combat the enemy.
He was just a cultivator at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage. He must be out of his mind to fight a Core Formation stage cultivator!
He was left with no choice but to use his wits.
However, Fang Jinyu wasn't an intelligent person. He couldn't come up with any good ideas. After all, an invisible hand wanted him dead even if he was willing to give up the chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm!
According to the book, Su Yier's master had already developed feelings for her. In the eyes of Su Yier's master, Su Yier was the purest and most perfect treasure that even the slightest flaw could not taint.
However, stealing other people's opportunities was unquestionably a flaw.
Her master was the one who made the trade. However, which Qi Condensation stage cultivator would dare reject the trade made by a Core Formation stage cultivator?
Therefore, it was apparent that the best course of action was to silence him permanently.
"Fuck!"
Fang Jinyu couldn't help but curse and think, "How did such a neurotic, lovesick cultivator break through the Core Formation stage?"
"Oh! It's a love-oriented novel world, right? Then, that's fine."
"Why don't I sell all the chances to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm privately?" Fang Jinyu thought, but he quickly shook his head.
The Tianling Sect wouldn't allow such a situation to happen. It was to prevent people from using such an opportunity to snatch other people's chances to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm.
After all, no Qi Condensation stage cultivator would be willing to give up such an opportunity to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, the Lingdu Secret Realm offered not only the chance to advance in cultivation but also precious magic treasures!
Every magic treasure in this world was either created naturally by Heaven and Earth or refined from the essence of Heaven and Earth. As a result, luck could be found in all magic treasures.
Once a cultivator obtained a magic treasure, the cultivator could share the luck of the magic treasure after refining it.
What kind of treasure was luck? There was no need to go into detail.
Fang Jinyu could not help but sigh.
It was a dead end!
He couldn't make deals with others in private. However, the other party could make deals due to his identity as a Core Formation stage cultivator.
Fang Jinyu was so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit blood.
Fang Jinyu thought, "Wait a minute, I can't offend him, but I can hide from him, right?" Suddenly, he remembered a special task in the Tianling Sect: cleaning the feces of the sect's guardian spirit beast.
The spirit beasts of the Tianling Sect weren't the bloodline of any ancient mystic beasts. However, it was a group of mutated black pigs. Despite their strength, they couldn't stop eating and needed a lot of food daily.
It was said that the mutated black pigs were willing to surrender to the Tianling Sect because it provided them with food and drink.
Since the black spirit pigs had a huge appetite, their feces was so plentiful that they could be piled up to form a small mountain!
It should have been the responsibility of a core formation stage cultivator. After all, it was the sect's guardian spirit beast! However, how could a Core Formation stage cultivator be willing to do it? Thus, he passed the buck to the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
However, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were also not willing to do so. Hence, they assigned the task to the Qi Condensation stage cultivators.
Therefore, a few unlucky Qi Condensation stage cultivators would be sent monthly to help the spirit beasts clean up.
"It's better to be stinking to high heaven than to die!"
Gritting his teeth, Fang Jinyu made his decision.
There was a Core Formation stage beast among the black spirit pigs. If the master of the female lead, Su Yier's master, really wanted to kill him, the king of black spirit pigs would save him and not leave him in the lurch.
Fang Jinyu was sure about it since the book had mentioned that the king of black spirit pigs had a good impression of the Tianling Sect disciples who were willing to help it clean up.
Moreover, Su Yier's master had a severe case of mysophobia!
Without hesitating, Fang Jinyu left the immortal estate he was living in, used his wind harness technique to descend from the mountainside, and came to a valley.
Before Fang Jinyu entered, he could already smell an "alluring" scent.
However, he still braced himself and went in.
Since the job was usually vacant, it wasn't hard for him to obtain it. If it were an attractive job, the sect wouldn't have to choose disciples to fulfill the job by drawing lots. Hence, the martial uncle in charge of the valley welcomed him with a big smile.
As expected, Su Yier's master didn't come to force him to exchange for a chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm as described in the book.
Even though Fang Jinyu couldn't stand the stink, he was still excited.
"Am I changing my fate?"
Fang Jinyu could not help but think.
Afterward, he suddenly saw an unexpected scene.
[Today is the day to clean up poop.]
[Refined appearance 1]
If he wasn't wrong, it was something like a system. However, who could tell him why cleaning poop could refine a person's appearance?

In Such a Situation, Han Paopao Could Only Hold the Small Green Bottle and Tremble
A month ago, Fang Jinyu had been cleaning feces.
A month later, Fang Jinyu was still cleaning up feces.
...
Fang Jinyu explained to everyone, "I am very grateful that our sect allowed me to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. Hence, I volunteer to come here to clean up feces to contribute to the harmonious development of the Tianling Sect."
Since Fang Jinyu's parents had sacrificed themselves for the sect, they could be said to be the most loyal disciples. Therefore, although Fang Jinyu's explanation seemed reasonable when first hearing it, it was just nonsense when one carefully thought over his words. However, nobody suspected his words.
Of course, there was nothing to doubt.
Fang Jinyu had spent so much time cleaning up the feces because he wasn't sure whether Su Yier's master was no longer keeping an eye on him.
However, he didn't have to clean up the feces anymore.
According to the book, Su Yier's master would have to leave the Tianling Sect in a month due to an urgent matter, which caused the female lead to encounter her first crisis.
As the female lead, she would definitely fall on her feet and gain benefits.
However, Su Yier's master became a cuckold due to the crisis…
Well, everyone could immediately understand the situation.
After all, the female lead would put every guy on the bench.
Of course, it had nothing to do with Fang Jinyu. He just wanted to stay alive.
[Once again, today is a day to clean up poop.]
[Refined hands-on ability1]
Fang Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief while looking up at the starry sky. Finally, the month of feces clearing was coming to an end.
After that, he experienced an odd warmth in his hands as if his arms' strength had suddenly increased.
It was indeed not an illusion.
His strength had increased.
The hands-on ability was the ability to operate something or make it function.
The other 29 days of the previous month were uneventful, aside from the outrageously "refined appearance 1" on the first day.
For example, physical strength 1, poison and stench resistance 1, responsiveness 1, and so on.
It was all related to what Fang Jinyu had done that day.
Fang Jinyu's cultivation had remained the same in the past month, but his overall strength had improved significantly. Aside from his physical fitness, the techniques he had mastered initially were now more appropriate for him.
It was because he had obtained seven "casting speed 1" when he continuously used techniques to bury the excrement of the spirit beast.
However, Fang Jinyu was a little regretful about the situation. Although he seemed to have a system, he did not have a personal attribute panel. Hence, even though he gained a lot of "1" for a month, he still had no idea about the accurate data. As such, even though Fang Jinyu had such a cheat, he still lived his life with caution and didn't even dare to be careless.
It was the last night Fang Jinyu stayed in the valley, but he didn't leave the valley where the black spirit pigs lived.
The place was deserted. Other than the group of mutant black pigs, there were no other living creatures. Thus, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator guarding the valley was so bored that he invited Fang Jinyu for a drink.
Since there was nobody else in the valley other than Fang Jinyu.
Li was the surname of the martial uncle in charge of the valley. His spiritual roots were better than Fang Jinyu's since he had dual-elemental spiritual roots. The fewer the elemental spiritual roots, the better the innate talent for cultivation. The best innate talent for cultivation was having single-elemental spiritual roots, called Tianling spiritual root. As long as the cultivators with Tianling spiritual root didn't become demons in the middle of their cultivation, they would definitely become Core Formation stage cultivators!
However, although Martial Uncle Li had dual-element spiritual roots, he was only at rank 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage after cultivating for most of his life since he didn't have any background in the Tianling Sect.
It was said that he was bothered by something in his past. He had been delayed for 30 years from entering the Lingdu Secret Realm.
Otherwise, even if he hadn't formed his golden core, he would've been in rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.
At this time, a stream of light suddenly streaked across the night sky above the two of them. It brought an earth-shattering pressure and had already gone far away in just a moment.
When Martial Uncle Li saw the light's streak, his expression suddenly stiffened. Afterward, he waved his sleeve and said, "I'm tired. You may leave now!"
Even Qi Condensation stage cultivators didn't need much sleep, not to mention Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Hence, it was just an excuse.
However, when Martial Uncle Li saw Fang Jinyu looking up at the sky as he stood up to leave, he said, "That's the sword energy of a sword cultivator. Only a Core Formation stage cultivator could release such dazzling and powerful energy. If you encounter them in the future, hide as far away as possible. Sometimes, you might die by just a glance."
After hearing Martial Uncle Li's warning, Fang Jinyu was overjoyed and quickly cupped his fists in thanks.
In addition to thanking Martial Uncle Li for his warning, his words also revealed much helpful information.
The Tianling Sect wasn't a sword sect. Although they had sword cultivation techniques, only a few people could master the technique. The only Core Formation stage cultivator who mastered sword techniques was the master of Su Yier!
Fang Jinyu chose to stay in the valley until dawn.
Fang Jinyu was like a swallow darting through the air using his wind harness technique. Soon, he returned to his residence on the mountain peak.
Then, he walked back to his immortal estate in a good mood.
Since he, a cannon fodder who should have only been able to survive for one chapter, could be considered to have changed his fate at this point.
"However, there's still half a year before the opening of the Lingdu Secret Realm."
"I can't let my guard down in this half a year. Whether it's the female lead, Su Yier, or the people around her, I must stay away from them."
What did the main character represent?
The cause of all trouble!
Although his rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage cultivation base seemed powerful, at least a dozen people with the same cultivation base were on each Tianling Sect's mountain peaks.
The Tianling Sect had a total of 72 peaks.
His cultivation level would not be enough for him to die even if he had ten lives after being caught up in the protagonist's troubles.
"Senior brother, you're back?"
"Senior brother, why did you smell like marinated meat?"
A mischievous little girl was standing outside Fang Jinyu's immortal estate. When she saw Fang Jinyu, her eyes curved into a crescent moon-like shape, and she looked delighted. However, she quickly pinched her nose and ran away in the next second.
Fang Jinyu had memories of the former Fang Jinyu, so he naturally recognized this little girl.
This little girl's name was Xin Qianqian, and she was also a disciple of the Tianling Sect. She didn't reside in the same peak as Fang Jinyu, but rather one nearby. The peak was called the Mount Goddess and only accepted female disciples.
Xin Qianqian was familiar with the former Fang Jinyu because the little girl had run into trouble when she was out. She was helped by the former Fang Jinyu, who just so happened to run into her. From then on, the two of them were considered friends.
Fang Jinyu asked politely, "Junior Sister Xin, why are you looking for me?"
"Here, Senior Brother, this is for you." Xin Qianqian took out a small jade bottle.
"Blossom Dew?" Fang Jinyu found out that it was the bottle of Blossom Dew, which was a specialty product of Mount Goddess and a costly resource in the Tianling Sect.
A small bottle costs twenty spirit stones.
Twenty spirit stones were the amount Fang Jinyu earned after a month of hard work in the Spirit Beasts Valley. He might make less than ten spirit stones in a month if it were any other job.
Unlike the novels Fang Jinyu had read before, the Tianling Sect didn't give ordinary disciples spirit stones every month unless they had a job in the sect.
Apart from it, the Tianling Sect would not issue quests like an NPC.
In the Tianling Sect, the higher one's cultivation base was, the more freedom one had.
New disciples had to attend morning and evening classes every day. They could decide whether to cultivate when they reached rank 4 in the Qi Condensation stage. However, they had to work for a month every year.
Cultivators like Fang Jinyu, ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, would be exempted from working for a month every year. The Tianling Sect wanted their disciples to focus on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
After all, not only could a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator extend his lifespan for 200 years, but any technique from him was equivalent to the combined attack of more than ten ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage cultivators.
Once he broke through and became a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he would be totally free.
He could refine pills if he were interested or visit his friends whenever he wanted. He would be free to do anything.
Moreover, the Tianling Sect would distribute some spirit stones to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators monthly. If the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator took on a job, the Tianling Sect would double their salary!
Xin Qianqian pretended to be indifferent and said, "Yes, it's the Blossom Dew. I heard that you worked in the Spirit Beasts Valley. You can use it for bathing three times to completely eliminate the stench on your body."
"Thank you so much, Junior Sister Xin."
Fang Jinyu accepted the small jade bottle since he really needed it. Otherwise, he would be plagued with a foul smell for the next half a year.
Although Xin Qianqian was overjoyed when she saw Fang Jinyu accept it, she couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, you're such a kind person. You can do other jobs to repay your gratitude to the sect!"
"I've been forced to do that…"
Fang Jinyu muttered to himself. However, when he heard the little girl say he was kind, he couldn't help but look at her strangely.
According to the book's description, Xin Qianqian was the kind one!
She even fell in love with Su Yier's bootlicker.
In the end, she ended up in a miserable state.
Even though the female lead wasn't interested in the bootlicker, Xin Qianqian was still considered to be stealing the female lead's belongings! How would a character who stole the female lead's belongings end up in a good state?
"Look at this little girl. She's obviously interested in the former Fang Jinyu. Why did she fall in love with someone else? Oh, right! According to the plot, the former Fang Jinyu should have been buried a few days ago… Moreover, the little girl gets married after more than ten years. She's already done her best for the former Fang Jinyu."
After some thought, Fang Jinyu looked at the Blossom Dew in his hand and decided.
He decided to try his best to help Xin Qianqian in the future. At the very least, he would not let her end up as miserable as in the book. He wanted to help her avoid dying tragically.
However, if he failed to protect her… He would try to let her rest in peace.
After all, the female protagonist, Su Yier, was a useless person. According to the book, she was about to break through the Nascent Soul stage just by having sex with all male characters in the books for more than ten years!
In such a situation, Han Paopao could only hold the small green bottle and tremble when hiding in the corner.
"Senior Brother, it's stinking to high heaven. I'll go first. Oh, right! Chen Baxing and the others have been looking for you recently. Senior Brother, be careful of them. I have a feeling that they're looking for you for trouble."
Xin Qianqian couldn't stand Fang Jinyu's stink and ran down the mountain as if she was escaping.
As he watched her leave, Fang Jinyu thought.
"Chen Baxing?"
Fang Jinyu was familiar with him. He was a notorious "bad guy" among the Qi Condensation stage cultivators in the Tianling Sect. He gathered a group of people and started a reselling business. However, he had a nasty reputation. It was said that he often went back on his word and was suspected of having killed many people to steal goods.
However, according to the book, such a nasty person lived to the end of the book.
It was just because Chen Baxing had fallen in love with the female lead, Su Yier, at first sight.
Chen Baxing would never go against Su Yier's request. He would do whatever Su Yier asked him to do. Even if he had to sacrifice himself to fulfill Su Yier's wishes, he would do it and show the results to Su Yier.
As the saying goes, "Everything goes right when I love you."
However, since Fang Jinyu didn't share the same ideas and values with them, he only lived for one chapter.
Fang Jinyu was confused with the situation and thought, "I've never met Chen Baxing before, and the former Fang Jinyu had nothing to do with him either. So why is this brat looking for me?" Afterward, he decided to take a shower first.
The Blossom Dew was indeed worth twenty spirit stones. The room was filled with fragrance from just one drop.
After taking a shower, Fang Jinyu felt much more refreshed. The fatigue that had accumulated over the past month was gone.
"Next, I'll try and see what will happen after a day of cultivation!"

A Bad-Tempered Cultivator and a Brainless Young Man
[Today is a day of cultivating with no gain.]
[Understanding from refinement 1]
...
When the day ended and night fell, Fang Jinyu saw the day's achievements as he had wished. However, he had almost moved to tears.
"I thought I didn't feel any improvement in my cultivation because I'm at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage and am about to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. However, it turns out that I've reached a bottleneck, and my cultivation base hasn't improved at all."
Fang Jinyu finally understood why the ranked 9 in Qi Condensation stage cultivators were desperate for the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
As long as one had less than four-element spiritual roots, one could break through the Foundation Establishment stage by consuming one Foundation Establishment Elixir.
It was called a sacred medicine that could change one's fate.
Hence, the Foundation Establishment Elixir price was costly, which was 30000 spirit stones per elixir!
Even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator couldn't afford such a huge amount of spirit stones, not to mention a Qi Condensation stage cultivator. It might take more than a hundred years for a Qi Condensation stage cultivator to save 30000 spirit stones!
Although some Immortal City would provide loans to ranked 9 in Qi Condensation stage cultivators, even if they successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, they had to work for the Immortal City for at least 20 years! If it's not enough, their life would naturally belong to the Immortal City. At that time, they would have to work their fingers to the bone as an enslaved person or a servant…
Fang Jinyu didn't get the information from the book. He naturally knew it since he had inherited the memories of the former Fang Jinyu.
The Immortal City… It was just a name to increase its reputation since only immortal cultivators lived inside.
Usually, there would be at least one Core Formation stage cultivator in charge of such an Immortal City.
The Lingdu Secret Realm could help the Tianling Sect's disciples to break through the Foundation Establishment stage because the disciples who left the Lingdu Secret Realm could exchange their gains for at least one Foundation Establishment Elixir. If they were lucky enough, they could even exchange for three!
It was a shortcut to getting rich!
Even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would be envious of it.
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu suddenly had a wonderful feeling. As his mind became clear, all the details of the storm raging technique, a technique he had been cultivating, and other cultivation details appeared.
After reading through the details in his mind, Fang Jinyu immediately understood his mistakes and why he had reached a bottleneck.
Fang Jinyu was excited by his discovery.
He had a hunch that once he had corrected his mistakes, he might be able to break through the Foundation Establishment stage without a Foundation Establishment Elixir!
Fang Jinyu immediately tried to correct his mistakes in his cultivation excitedly.
However, at this moment, Fang Jinyu realized someone had triggered the restrictive enchantment on his immortal estate.
Hence, he picked up the mirror beside him and cast a spell on it.
After casting a spell, the mirror gradually showed the person's appearance outside the door. It was a low-tier spirit tool named Scouting Mirror. It was used to scout and look into the distance. It was a reward from the sect after the death of the former Fang Jinyu's parents.
A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could see the foot of the mountain from the middle of the mountain. As for Fang Jinyu, he could only look at the scene outside his immortal estate.
It wasn't a wrong tool. After all, it was a low-tier spirit tool that could exchange hundreds of spirit stones.
However, since it was too useless, it wasn't a good tool either.
Two people appeared in the mirror. One was slightly older and looked to be in his early thirties, while the other was a young man with a somewhat arrogant expression.
Soon, Fang Jinyu realized that both were late-stage Qi Condensation cultivators.
One was at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, while the other was at rank 7 in the Qi Condensation stage.
"Hmm, these two don't look like Chen Baxing…" Fang Jinyu was surprised but still went over to cancel the restrictive enchantment. The restrictive enchantment was just an alarm since even a ranked 3 Qi Condensation stage cultivator could break through it.
Moreover, he was on the Tianling Sect's mountain peak. He believed that the other party wouldn't dare to make a move.
As the door opened, Fang Jinyu walked out. He cupped his fists and asked, "Is there something important that the two of you have come to find me?"
As soon as Fang Jinyu finished speaking, the young man immediately became angry and said, "Huh, you're such an interesting person. Who do you think you are? Do you mean that we can't find you when nothing happens? Besides, why are you so stinky? Did you eat shit?"
"Can you fucking mind your words…"
Fang Jinyu was going to curse at him, but he tried his best to suppress his anger. He turned to look at the man in his early thirties and ignored the young man.
He was only afraid of the neurotic, lovesick Core Formation stage cultivator, but it didn't mean he was scared of everyone.
Meanwhile, the man in his early thirties looked embarrassed. However, he couldn't say anything due to the other party's status. When he saw Fang Jinyu looking at him, he quickly cupped his fists and said, "Brother Fang, I'm Lu Yifang, and he is Lu Shaojun. Senior Brother Chen asked us to come and find you."
Fang Jinyu's expression changed when he heard such an "introduction of an acquaintance."
The Tianling Sect's disciple was working sneakily?
It was true that society was corrupted.
Lu Shaojun couldn't help but laugh when he saw Fang Jinyu change his expression, "Haha! You're afraid, right? Look at you being a coward! As you know, we are sent by Senior Brother Chen Baxing. So hurry up, get out of the way, and let us in!"
Fang Jinyu was speechless and thought, "What the heck?"
"Chen Baxing?"
Fang Jinyu showed a pleasant facial expression. He was not afraid of Chen Baxing at all. After all, Chen Baxing was only at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage. The book did mention that the fellow would break through the Foundation Establishment stage in the future. However, the female lead, Su Yier, helped him achieve it.
Fang Jinyu snorted, "Huh, you two should go back to where you came from!" Then he turned around and returned to his immortal estate. At the same time, he restored the restrictive enchantment.
However, he had only taken two steps before the restrictive enchantment was shattered.
Fang Jinyu turned his head and saw Lu Shaojun. Meanwhile, Lu Shaojun went furious and scolded, "Who do you think you are?! How dare you speak to me with such an attitude?"
Fang Jinyu asked coldly, "Do you know the consequences of destroying one's restrictive enchantment?"
Lu Shaojun showed a disdainful expression and said, "So what? You're the one who dug your grave!" Afterward, he attacked Fang Jinyu! A wind blade flew out of his hand and slashed at Fang Jinyu!
Fang Jinyu thought, "Where did this stupid shit come from?"
Fang Jinyu was shocked and continued thinking, "There's really someone who dared to attack?"
Then, with a backhand grab, the wind blade dissipated halfway. Then, Fang Jinyu formed another wind blade with the scattered wind energy, and it slashed like a thunderbolt.
Fang Jinyu's wind blade was ten times more powerful than Lu Shaojun's wind blade! Moreover, the speed of the slash was even faster!
Lu Shaojun was stunned.
He had practiced with his family many times at home, but nobody had ever attacked him as Fang Jinyu did!
"Darn it!"
When Lu Yifang saw the situation, he immediately helped Lu Shaojun. He didn't dare to let Lu Shaojun get hurt. Otherwise, he might get punished by Lu Shaojun's father, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!
He immediately activated a talisman. The talisman transformed into a round light shield that obstructed the wind blade.
"Bang!"
Although the wind blade dissipated, the luster of the talisman tool also dimmed.
However, the ground was already a mess. The strong wind blew in all directions, leaving marks on the immortal estate's rock walls.
Lu Yifang didn't intend to continue the fight. He just said, "Brother Fang, please forgive him! Junior Brother Lu is the Tianling Sect's new disciple and doesn't know the sect's rules. Please forgive him for not knowing the rules!"
While speaking, Lu Yifang secretly cursed, "If this brat is just a normal disciple, I want to kill him too!"
"I, Lu Yifang, will be a dog if I work with this brat again in the future!"
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu twitched his eyebrow and felt strange. Lu Shaojun joined the sect when he was ranked 7 in the Qi Condensation stage. It meant that he was special. After all, the Tianling Sect preferred to accept new disciples with weaker cultivation bases yearly. The Tianling Sect liked to take talented mortals the most.
Thus, Fang Jinyu suppressed his anger and asked, "What did Chen Baxing ask you to do?"
Lu Shaojun scolded, "Senior Brother Chen Baxing wants you to hand over the chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm! You better hand it to us if you know what's good for you! Don't waste our time!"
Although Fang Jinyu had defeated Lu Shaojun with a single blow, he didn't hold back as long as Lu Yifang was with him.
Fang Jinyu looked at them as if looking at two idiots and asked, "Brother Lu, is he nuts? Are you nuts? Do you know all I need to do is report the situation to the higher-ups, and the three of you will have your cultivation base crippled and be expelled from the sect?" Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu thought, "If I can sell the chance, I've done so!"
"Or else, why will I have to clean up feces for a month to avoid that neurotic, lovestruck Core Formation stage cultivator?"
Lu Yifang answered, "Of course, we know it, and so does Senior Brother Chen. However, Senior Brother Chen asked us to come here to tell you that other people wanted the chance! We're just following orders."
Afterward, Lu Yifang looked at the stupid shit beside him and continued saying with a smile, "Brother Fang, Junior Brother Lu's father is a senior alchemist. If you agree to give up, Senior Brother Chen will take care of the matter, so you don't have to worry about it. Furthermore, Junior Brother Lu's father promises to refine a Foundation Establishment Elixir for you once you gather all the ingredients!"
Only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could make the ranked 9 in Qi Condensation stage cultivator address him as Martial Uncle.
Unless one's relationship with someone was good, the seniority of cultivators only depended on their cultivation base, regardless of age.
When Fang Jinyu heard his words, he cursed in his heart, "What the fuck? What a good plan! The brat's father asked me to collect all the ingredients, but he will just give me one elixir after he finishes the refinement?"
"Did he take me for a fool?"
"This brat even treated it as a fucking favor!"
"Even a fool knows that one refinement will produce at least seven or eight elixirs!"
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu only wanted to curse everyone. Hence, he coldly sent them off.
However, Lu Yifang spoke again, "Brother Fang, I know we have made things hard for you. Hence, Senior Brother Chen said we could give you five days to consider the matter. Please forgive us for being in such a hurry. The senior wants us to get things done in a month. Now that half a month has passed, we don't have much time left."
Fang Jinyu was startled after hearing Lu Yifang's words. Afterward, he turned to Lu Yifang and asked, "Is he a great cultivator?"
Only the Core Formation stage cultivator could be addressed as a great cultivator.
As soon as Fang Jinyu finished his words, Lu Yifang's immediately looked at him in shock.

Breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Stage So Easily?
Lu Yifang didn't answer, but his response gave Fang Jinyu the answer.
Only a Core Formation stage cultivator could make the notorious Chen Baxing obediently follow his orders. He even convinced a Foundation Establishment stage alchemist with a high position in the immortal world to give him a promise.
...
The only Core Formation stage cultivator who needed a chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm was Su Yier's master!
Fang Jinyu didn't expect that he was still unable to avoid him after a month of cleaning feces.
Suddenly, Fang Jinyu felt as if he had seen his death.
Fang Jinyu thought, "Did cannon fodder have no human rights?"
"Fuck you!"
However, due to Fang Jinyu's strong will to live, he had an idea in the next second.
Fang Jinyu said, "Five days isn't enough. I need ten days. If I insist on not giving in, you can do nothing to me. Once I've entered the Lingdu Secret Realm, I'll naturally break through the Foundation Establishment stage. It's just a matter of time. At that time, as long as I didn't cause any trouble and did closed-door cultivation all year round, even the great Core Formation stage cultivator couldn't do anything to me."
Core Formation stage cultivators were not allowed to attack Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the same sect. It was a rule made by the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster of the Tianling Sect.
It was said that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of the Tianling Sect had once deeply offended a Core Formation stage cultivator. However, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was still alive.
Fang Jinyu was trying to buy himself some time.
"It's impossible…" Lu Shaojun was about to reject him, but Lu Yifang interrupted him and said, "Ten days. Alright, It's a deal. I'll visit you ten days later."
Actually, the Core Formation stage cultivator wanted them to get things done within half a year. They just had to get the chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm from Fang Jinyu before the opening.
Since they hoped to leave a good impression on the great Core Formation stage cultivator, they wanted to get things done as soon as possible. Hence, they told Fang Jinyu they didn't have much time left.
Lu Yifang then bid farewell.
"I'm not going to send you off."
Fang Jinyu didn't welcome them, so he naturally responded apathetically.
Lu Shaojun looked angry and seemed to have something to say, but he was pulled away by Lu Yifang.
Seeing the two of them leave, Fang Jinyu suppressed his urge to snitch on them. He then restored the restrictive enchantment and began correcting his cultivation mistakes.
"If I can break through the Foundation Establishment stage without a Foundation Establishment Elixir, then I can easily solve all the dangers…"
After all, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were not allowed to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm.
He could use the chance to exchange for the follow-up cultivation technique of the storm raging technique with the Tianling Sect Leader.
The storm raging technique was a high-tier cultivation technique with three attributes: wind, fire, and lightning. If the former Fang Jinyu's parents didn't sacrifice themselves for the sect, the former Fang Jinyu wouldn't be able to obtain the Qi Condensation section of the technique.
The cultivation techniques were only divided into high-tier and low-tier. Most cultivators only cultivated low-tier techniques. Some rogue cultivators who were lucky enough to become a cultivator just knew some basic Qi Condensation chants.
A night had passed, but Fang Jinyu's cultivation base remained the same.
It was natural. After all, Fang Jinyu had reached a bottleneck.
However, after correcting a few of his mistakes, he could clearly feel that the flow of his inner energy was smoother.
Fang Jinyu also understood the correct way to use his identity as a transmigrator.
"The more I do high-tier activities, the more help I'll be able to gain after refining them."
The feedback from cleaning feces could be said to be negligible.
After all, it was just simple labor work.
Fang Jinyu's spellcasting speed increased due to his repeated use of spells.
The only benefit he gained from cleaning feces was the ability to endure the stench. He had refined his ability to endure the stench more than ten times.
However, all the gains from the ability to endure the stench couldn't even compare to the "Understanding 1" he got today.
Hence, Fang Jinyu continued his cultivation the next day.
[Today is another day of cultivating with no gain.]
[Understanding from refinement 1]
Last night, he could only correct a few mistakes in his cultivation due to his lack of insight. However, the specific cultivation method for the storm raging technique manifested in his mind as "Understanding 1" reappeared.
Fang Jinyu corrected a portion of it overnight, and his inner energy began to flow even smoother. If the flow of his inner energy was like sand flowing in the desert, it was now flowing smoothly like a waterfall.
On the third day, he gained another "Understanding 1."
Fang Jinyu was naturally overjoyed with his achievement. After correcting his mistakes overnight, the inner energy in his body reached the point where he could cast spells as he pleased. Even the technique of casting spells he previously mastered had significantly improved.
If someone like Lu Shaojun attacked him again, Fang Jinyu could kill him with a counterattack. Once he attacked him, even the other cultivators ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage could not save him.
Fang Jinyu was now able to strike like the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
Fang Jinyu was now considered a half step to the Foundation Establishment stage!
Unfortunately, he didn't gain what he had previously on the fourth day.
[Today is a day to sublimate your inner self with the Blossom Dew.]
[Refined appearance 1]
Although a bottle of Blossom Dew cost twenty spirit stones, it was not a one-time-use product. He could use it many times, and he could use it for around two years with conservation use.
"What can I do with being handsome?"
Fang Jinyu couldn't help but mock.
Among the refinements, Fang Jinyu didn't hope to see gains in his appearance. Even though he wasn't handsome, he didn't care about his appearance.
After all, he was already a cultivator, so why should he care about his appearance?
He believed that everything should be based on cultivation.
Fortunately, he once again saw the "Understanding 1" that he wished to achieve the most on the next day's cultivation.
Fang Jinyu finally broke through the bottleneck as the Qi Condensation cultivation method appeared in his mind, and his storm raging technique evolved. His inner energy, which had previously stopped improving, showed some changes.
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu knew that it was his opportunity to break through. He could undoubtedly break through the Foundation Establishment stage if he immediately consumed a Foundation Establishment Elixir!
However, he didn't have a Foundation Establishment Elixir.
As a result, Fang Jinyu could only use spells to improve his inner energy and spiritual energy gradually.
[Today is a day of cultivation with a small gain.]
[Refined inner energy 1]
"I've refined my inner energy?"
Fang Jinyu was stunned. Then, he felt like he had just consumed a superior-tier elixir, and his inner energy surged.
Therefore, he immediately continued to circulate his cultivation technique.
Then, naturally, his inner energy improved. The inner energy helped him shave off his hair and purify his bone marrow.
The process was like being reborn.
After the process, Fang Jinyu had already exceeded his lifespan.
[Foundation Establishment stage, Lifespan: 200 years]
Fang Jinyu couldn't help but smile.
His idea was indeed feasible. He didn't have to rely on the Foundation Establishment Elixir to force a breakthrough. Instead, he could achieve the breakthrough by comprehending all the techniques he had cultivated and correcting the flaws in his cultivation. Afterward, he could accumulate his inner energy and breakthrough naturally!
Fang Jinyu immediately used the storm raging technique to stabilize his body's endless flow of inner energy.
Fang Jinyu didn't need to strengthen his cultivation because the breakthrough didn't require using elixirs.
Fang Jinyu opened his eyes after familiarizing himself with the Foundation Establishment's inner energy. Afterward, he immediately left his immortal estate and headed towards Mount Tianling, where the Tianling Sect Leader was.
Fang Jinyu also had a talisman tool.
It was an immortal tool that was inferior to spirit tools. Although it wasn't a powerful tool, it was easier for Qi Condensation stage cultivators to master it.
Fang Jinyu intended to hand over the chance that had constantly threatened him. Moreover, he was also prepared to file a complaint when meeting the Tianling Sect Leader!
Fang Jinyu would definitely not file a complaint against Su Yier's master. After all, he had no evidence about Su Yier's master threatening his life, and Su Yier's master was a Core Formation stage cultivator. He was going to file a complaint against Chen Baxing, Lu Shaojun, and Lu Yifang!
Fang Jinyu didn't dare to provoke an alchemist. After all, alchemists were famous for their strong connections, especially a Foundation Establishment stage alchemist. They could even ask a Core Formation stage cultivator for help.
However, the Tianling Sect could provoke an alchemist!

The Happiest Thing to Do Is Tattletale
Mount Tianling was the highest peak among the 72 peaks in the Tianling Sect. It was known for its unique soaring heights and steep-sided jagged peaks. Moreover, it had the most charming climate and scenery.
Unlike Mount Xiaohe, where Fang Jinyu lived, there was a gate at the bottom of Mount Tianling. Moreover, it was surrounded by restrictive enchantment. Even Core Formation stage cultivators could not fly over it. They could only enter Mount Tianling through the gate.
...
It was said that Mount Tianling was the actual entrance of the Tianling Sect.
The other 71 peaks were seized from the hands of the different sects when the Tianling Sect was developing and growing.
Of course, there were peaks that the Tianling Sect easily attained. For example, Mount Xiaohe.
Some peaks that produced specialty products, such as Mount Goddess, were all occupied by other sects back then.
After all, in addition to a stable and reliable promotion channel, the benefit chain is the most crucial factor in an organization. No matter how strong a sect was, it would collapse in the blink of an eye if one of the components was lost.
Fang Jinyu had arrived on a talisman tool. For a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, his spirit item was too shabby. After all, a spirit tool indicated the rank of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. However, no matter how shabby it was, he was still a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!
Meanwhile, two disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage were on duty. They hurried over to greet him.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle!"
The Tianling Sect had around a thousand disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage. Thus, although the two disciples ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, they weren't familiar with Fang Jinyu.
"Junior Brothers, please help me report to the Sect Leader about me, Fang Jinyu, the new Foundation Establishment stage disciple from Mount Xiaohe, wants to pay a formal visit to the Sect Leader."
When the two disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage heard Fang Jinyu's words, they immediately looked envious.
A new Foundation Establishment stage cultivator meant that Fang Jinyu had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. In other words, just a few days ago, Fang Jinyu held the same rank as them, ranking 9 in the Qi Condensation stage.
"Yes, Martial Uncle."
The two disciples, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, quickly informed the Tianling Sect Leader of the issue because it was their obligation to do so.
Fang Jinyu thought that he would have to wait for a while. After all, even though the Sect Leader was not a Core Formation stage cultivator, he was still busy. Unless the other part was a Core Formation stage cultivator, no one could cut the queue.
However, the two disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage told him that the Sect Leader wanted him to hurry over.
Although their words seemed strange, Fang Jinyu still went up the mountain. Meanwhile, he thought, "After all, complaining… No, it is more important to solve the problem of the chance of entering the Lingdu Secret Realm."
"Although there are magic treasures in the Lingdu Secret Realm that will help increase his luck after refining them, none are more important than saving his life!"
After reading the book, Fang Jinyu knew of three locations where magic treasures were hidden.
However, he was now in an awkward situation. Apart from one half-refined magic treasure that he could try to get, he would dig his own grave to visit the other two locations with his rank 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Fang Jinyu didn't dare to wander around Mount Tianling. Instead, he headed straight for the main hall.
As soon as he entered, he found only the Sect Leader and a young man with his hands behind his back in the hall. The young man seemed to be a mortal, but the Sect Leader was very respectful to him.
Fang Jinyu quickly bowed and said, "Disciple Fang Jinyu greets Senior and Sect Leader."
Although Fang Jinyu had never met a Tianling Sect's Core Formation stage cultivator, the young man in front of him was definitely a Core Formation stage cultivator. He was likely on the verge of breaking his core and forming his nascent soul.
Otherwise, the Sect Leader wouldn't have such a polite attitude.
Tianling Sect Leader, according to the book, was now meeting with Su Yier's master and treating him as if he were a peer.
After all, the sect leader's identity was exceptional, and he had his seniority.
The sect leader asked, "Tell us! What do you want?"
"Sect Leader, I am lucky to comprehend the truth of the spell and break through the bottleneck. I broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage by accumulating my inner energy. Therefore, I can't have the chance given by the sect to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm, so…"
Fang Jinyu immediately explained the situation. However, before he finished his words, the young man interrupted him and said, "Just have the chance with you. Entering the Lingdu Secret Realm is quite a good opportunity for you. It'll save you 20 years of hard work if you're lucky. But before you go in, you must bring a Discipline Pearl."
"Hurry up and thank Grandmaster," Tianling Sect Leader said immediately.
Fang Jinyu finally understood the young man's identity. He was the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster.
A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would have a lifespan of 200 years.
A Core Formation stage cultivator would have a lifespan of 500 years.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator would have a lifespan of at least 1500 years.
As a cultivator who had gone through the ups and downs of history, he was indeed a true otherworldly celestial!
The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was why the Tianling Sect became the head of all the sects in the world. Even if most of the 72 peaks didn't have restrictive enchantments, nobody dared to provoke them.
Fang Jinyu immediately bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster, for your grace!"
Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster nodded in response to Fang Jinyu's words, "Yes." Then, he continued, "You're just like your parents, but if you want to go far in the cultivation world, don't be too kind."
Fang Jinyu finally understood why the Sect Leader told him to come up quickly. It turned out that the former Fang Jinyu's parents had an acquaintance with the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster!
However, they seemed not to have a close acquaintance with the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster, but that was alright!
Fang Jinyu quickly said, "Grandmaster, thank you for your reminder. I'll remember your reminder. Sect Leader, I have something to report."
"Go ahead!"
Fang Jinyu said, "Not long ago, Chen Baxing sent someone to look for me, asking me to give up my chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. Of course, I rejected his request. However, the other party said that if I gave up, they would take care of all matters. Moreover, a junior brother named Lu Shaojun, who claims that his father is an alchemist, promised to help me refine a Foundation Establishment Elixir."
Since the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was present, he didn't dare to discuss too many details. Hence, he briefly mentioned the two main culprits. As for Lu Yifang, he chose to let him go.
Before the Sect Leader spoke, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster showed a gloomy expression and snorted angrily, "Huh, what bold disciples!"
Fang Jinyu could not help but feel confused.
Why did Grandmaster appear even more enraged than him?
The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster turned to look at the Sect Leader and asked, "You know what to do, right?"
The Sect Leader immediately answered, "I will deal with it according to the sect's rules!" He knew that the Grandmaster personally set some of the sect's rules. Breaking the sect rules was equivalent to provoking the Grandmaster!
For example, rules like Tianling Sect's Core Formation stage cultivators could not harm fellow Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Moreover, one who possesses the chance of entering the Lingdu Secret Realm must enter by themselves!
The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster nodded. Then, he turned into a stream of light and immediately disappeared.
It was the Nascent Soul stage's one-of-a-kind ability. Cultivators could switch between physical and virtual forms, gathering and dispersing at their hearts' will.
The Tianling Sect Leader looked relieved after the Grandmaster left. Afterward, he looked at Fang Jinyu with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Fang, you may go and collect a Discipline Pearl. Just activate it before you enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. Senior Brother will take care of the other matters!"

Refining Luck
Two days later, Fang Jinyu found out about Chen Baxing's punishment while looking at the basics of alchemy at Mount Lingyao.
Chen Baxing's cultivation base would be crippled, and he would be expelled from Tianling Sect.
...
As described in the sect rules, Lu Shaojun was also expelled after losing his cultivation base. Even his father, a Foundation Establishment stage alchemist, couldn't protect him in such a matter.
The Tianling Sect had its place that was proficient in alchemy. It even had Mount Lingyao, a peak with eight hidden spiritual veins, which the names of the eight trigrams named its veins.
Although Lu Shaojun's father was a famous alchemist and was different from ordinary alchemists, how could the Tianling Sect tolerate him interfering with something he shouldn't?
All of a sudden, all the ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage disciples clearly understood the rules of the Tianling Sect.
A ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage disciple with triple-element spiritual roots and a high chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage had lost his cultivation base easily. They would not even dare to think of the consequences if he was an ordinary cultivator!
Many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were shocked.
However, Fang Jinyu didn't think so. Reminiscing about the Grandmaster's rage, it seemed to be a result of breaking the rules made by the Grandmaster.
[Today is the day of gaining from snitching.]
[Luck obtained through refinement 1]
It was time for Fang Jinyu to collect his harvest of the day.
"Luck?"
Fang Jinyu could not help but be shocked.
Then, he immediately felt as if he was freed from some shackles. He felt an indescribable sense of freedom.
However, Fang Jinyu knew that it was because his luck had increased.
If the book were still available, Fang Jinyu would know his character was no longer a cannon fodder that died in the first chapter. Instead, he would be like Xin Qianqian, a cannon fodder living over two or three chapters.
"Why does it sound like nonsense?"
Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart, but at the same time, his eyes lit up.
Because in this place, other than the luck brought by magic treasures and other magical items, one's personal luck could not be plundered by others!
The only thing that could be taken away was the additional luck.
For example, he could obtain the magic treasure's luck when he snatched other people's magic treasure and refined it.
However, Fang Jinyu now realized that he had a way to increase his own luck!
It was also a unique personal method.
"It's said that one can improve his cultivation talent after having strong luck…." Fang Jinyu immediately thought of the Tianling spiritual root. If he had the Tianling spiritual root, not only would he have a chance of breaking through the Core Formation stage, but he would also have a high chance of breaking his core and forming a nascent soul.
He now had triple-elemental spiritual roots, which meant he could control three types of magical power. The triple-elemental spiritual roots would be advantageous to him in fighting with others, but they would also affect his progress in cultivation.
Especially during the breaking of the core and forming the nascent soul, the nascent soul was the foundation for switching between physical and virtual forms. His triple-elemental spiritual roots would affect his nascent soul.
Moreover, when one possessed more magical power attributes, it would be riskier for him to form a low-tier golden core.
The golden core was divided into nine grades.
The grade nine golden core was the lowest, while grade one was the highest.
As for the core formation of Tianling's spiritual root, the worst situation was forming a grade three golden core.
The chances of breaking into the nascent soul of a cultivator with a grade three golden core, a cultivator with a grade two golden core, and a cultivator with a grade one golden core were 10%, 20%, and 50%, respectively.
For those with a golden core lower than grade three, reaching rank 3 in the Core Formation stage was already an outstanding achievement, let alone creating a newborn soul.
Fang Jinyu's heart began to race as these thoughts ran through his mind.
He couldn't snatch away most of the opportunities that the female lead, Su Yier, had.
It was all related to the female lead's admirers.
Therefore, although Fang Jinyu had tried his best to memorize the opportunities he could use from the book, he couldn't find much.
Fang Jinyu thought, "After all, I can't dress up as a woman to seduce the male characters, right?"
"Furthermore, look at my height and manly appearance! I will never be able to attract male characters, regardless of how skilled I am at camouflaging myself!"
"There are indeed more profound transformation techniques that can achieve such a goal. But, is that something a rank 1 in Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like me can do?"
"However, there are plenty of characters similar to Chen Baxing in novels…"
Among Su Yier's admirers, some of them had a chance to flirt with her. However, most of them didn't even get to know her.
"Anyway, how can I make this system-like thing in my body refine my luck?"
Although he saved himself with the Chen Baxing incident, it was very particular about probability.
Fang Jinyu's interest waned at the thought.
"Moreover, it's hard to seduce the female lead's admirers… They are all powerful in their own ways. For example, the loyal Core Formation stage admirer, or the cool Lord of the Immortal City…"
"I can save myself with the Chen Baxing incident by chance and coincidence. It relied on my previous parents' sacrifice for the sect."
"But it might not be because of Chen Baxing. After all, there is also Lu Shaojun. Forget it! I'll think about it next time!"
Fang Jinyu retracted his thoughts and continued studying alchemy basics.
He had initially planned to use the chance of entering the Lingdu Secret Realm to exchange for the Foundation Establishment stage chapter of the storm raging technique, but unfortunately, his plan failed.
Although the Tianling Sect would provide Foundation Establishment stage cultivation techniques to its disciples, they were all low-tier cultivation techniques. If Fang Jinyu wanted to obtain a high-tier cultivation technique, other than acknowledging a Core Formation stage cultivator as his master, he could only accumulate merit points.
Fortunately, the Tianling Sect wasn't inhuman, or perhaps it was because the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster took the initiative to meet Fang Jinyu, the descendant of his old friend. Hence, the sect leader gave him the Qi circulation guide for the storm raging technique for ranked 1 Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
However, Fang Jinyu wasn't satisfied.
Thus, he wanted to learn alchemy. Alchemy was the most common talent among cultivators and the simplest way to earn merit points!
Refining a low-tier elixir for Qi Condensation stage cultivators would earn him many merit points.
The difficulty of becoming an alchemist increased the alchemist's earnings.
Fang Jinyu had been studying the basics of alchemy for two days, but he was only familiar with the process of refining elixirs and some of their medicinal properties. However, he was still confused about the methods of refining a furnace of elixirs.
Fortunately, Fang Jinyu could cheat with the system, so he wasn't in a hurry. Furthermore, he had 200 years of lifespan after he broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, which gave him plenty of time.
A Qi Condensation stage cultivator would die at one hundred years old, but Fang Jinyu was in his prime when he was one hundred years old!
Meanwhile, someone walked over quickly and stood a dozen steps away. He saluted and said, "Martial Uncle Fang, a senior brother is here to see you. He calls himself Lu Yifang."
His voice was as pure as the sound of an oriole bird. The voice owner was Du Maner, a disciple of a peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li", where Fang Jinyu was currently located.
The disciples from a peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" were all handsome men and beautiful women. Although their cultivation talent was average, they would be perfect alchemy helpers for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators after they spent more than ten years of hard work studying alchemy.
After hearing Du Maner's words, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but look surprised and asked, "Lu Yifang?"
"This fellow still dares to come and find me?"
Fang Jinyu thought for a moment and asked Lu Yifang to come over.
Soon, Lu Yifang appeared. When he saw Fang Jinyu, he bowed deeply and paid his respects, saying, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Martial Uncle Fang!"

Improving Skills by Cheating
Lu Yifang was shocked by Chen Baxing and Lu Shaojun's consequences. He didn't care about how Chen Baxing ended up. Although he had some background, he was only from an ordinary cultivation family. He could only consider a toff. However, things were different for Lu Shaojun!
Lu Shaojun's father was at rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage. He was also a Holy Alchemist.
...
Lu Shaojun's father was special to be named a Holy Alchemist, which meant that he differed from the other alchemists. Ordinary alchemists could only refine elixirs from the stage he was in.
However, a Holy Alchemist could refine elixirs beyond their stage.
Some outstanding Holy Alchemists could even refine elixirs needed for the Nascent Soul stage cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. It could be said to be changing one's fate!
However, Lu Shaojun's father was not an outstanding Holy Alchemist.
Otherwise, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster would be willing to respect him.
"Thank you so much, Martial Uncle Fang. This is a token of my appreciation. I hope Martial Uncle Fang will accept it." Lu Yifang took out a gift. It was a red sandalwood box.
When Fang Jinyu opened it, he saw many irregular-shaped spirit stones.
At a rough glance, there were at least 500 of them, which he could buy a low-tier spirit tool.
"That's very kind of you, Junior Brother Lu. I'll accept it then." Fang Jinyu forgave Lu Yifang for his previous action while seeing him being polite.
After all, in the end, Lu Yifang was just conveying Chen Baxing's message, and he didn't offend Fang Jinyu with his words that day.
Moreover, the box of spirit stones showed Lu Yifang's sincerity.
He probably saved them for several years!
Lu Yifang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Jinyu accept the gift. Lu Yifang thought, "It's definitely a good deal to use hundreds of spirit stones to resolve a grudge with a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"
"Then I won't disturb Martial Uncle Fang any further." Although Fang Jinyu had addressed him as his junior brother, he did not dare to address him as his senior brother.
Different ways of addressing each other were quite common among the cultivators.
It was just a name.
Fang Jinyu didn't say anything and asked Du Maner to send him off.
When Fang Jinyu expressed his interest in learning alchemy, the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" sent Du Maner as his alchemy helper.
At first, Fang Jinyu was not willing to accept her.
After all, he had his secrets.
Fortunately, under his careful observation, Du Maner didn't seem willing to acknowledge him.
Du Maner's beauty wasn't inferior to any of the famous fairies of the cultivation world, nor was she inferior to the female lead. After seeing the vastness of the cultivation world, such a beautiful woman was naturally unwilling to assist a "kind and honest" Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with triple-element spiritual roots.
Although cultivators with triple-element spiritual roots had the potential to break through the Core Formation stage, everyone acknowledged that it was tough!
Even if they succeeded, they often hovered between rank 8 and 9.
Fang Jinyu merely needed to choose a day to let her know that he didn't want her to assist him with his alchemy.
However, the strange thing was the book never mentioned Du Maner's beauty, which didn't make sense. Du Maner would at least be cannon fodder that would die in chapter one with her appearance and ambitions!
"Wait, where did my reputation as a kind and honest man come from?"
Fang Jinyu was puzzled.
"Is it because my parents are honest, so people think I am honest too?"
It made some sense.
After all, as the saying goes, parents were their children's first teachers.
Rubbing his chin, Fang Jinyu continued to study the basics of alchemy. With his efforts, he soon gained something.
[Today is a day of studying the basics of alchemy.]
[Refined knowledge of alchemy 1]
In an instant, the alchemical knowledge he had rote-memorized in his mind seemed to come alive. Fang Jinyu could master the art of alchemy once his mental understanding of the subject had returned to normal.
"I'm indeed a genius! I understood the key point of alchemy in a short while!"
Fang Jinyu said it shamelessly.
Following that, Fang Jinyu used 100 spirit stones to rent an alchemy furnace and purchase spirit herbs. Then he began to refine elixirs.
He lit the fire, put in the spirit herbs, and started refining.
He turned off the fire and turned on the alchemy furnace. Soon, dark smoke billowed.
"Since it's the first time, making mistakes is normal." Fang Jinyu nodded and started refining the second furnace of elixirs.
After lighting the fire, he again put the spirit herbs into the furnace.
After that, he repeated the steps of refining, extinguishing the fire, and activating the alchemy furnace.
"Boom!"
This time, thick smoke erupted like a volcano, covering Fang Jinyu's face.
"It's normal for a beginner to fail twice."
Fang Jinyu was still unconcerned with the situation. He swept the ashes off the furnace and continued to refine elixirs.
This time, the furnace exploded before he activated it.
…
"Junior Brother, you're here to refine elixirs, not cultivate storm techniques. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your alchemist helper. I remember that Du Maner is assisting you, right? This little girl is very clever and willing to endure hardships. She had once refined a furnace of elixirs alone in the past. If it weren't for the sect leader, this girl wouldn't have been assigned to you."
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from Mount Lingyao, who had assisted Fang Jinyu in exchanging his alchemy furnace, could not help but grumble.
Fang Jinyu showed an awkward look.
Fang Jinyu thought, "No wonder there were so few alchemists. It's too hard! I'd already mastered the key point of alchemy, but I'd failed to refine the three furnaces of elixirs. The third furnace even exploded!"
Fortunately, the alchemy furnace was a talisman tool, not a spiritual tool. Otherwise, Fang Jinyu would have gone bankrupt today.
Fang Jinyu quickly asked, "Since Du Maner can refine elixirs on her own, why don't you train her to become an alchemist?"
He was trying to change the topic.
Moreover, Fang Jinyu was also curious about it. The elixir refining process was so complicated that even he failed repeatedly. However, Du Maner could refine a furnace of elixirs on her own, which indicated that she had the talent for refining elixirs!
At the very least, she was above average.
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator said regretfully, "Sigh. She has five-element spiritual roots. It was only by chance that she could reach rank 1 in the Qi Condensation stage. Anyone else would have already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage."
One's cultivation aptitude was still the most crucial factor in cultivating.
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator sighed again and said, "If she has four-element spiritual roots, we'll try our best to train her since she has such talent."
Fang Jinyu nodded and thought, "No wonder the sect had given up."
Afterward, he went to find Du Maner and seriously asked for advice.
Perhaps because Fang Jinyu showed a good attitude, Du Maner told him everything she knew. Fang Jinyu also confirmed that the senior brother from Mount Lingyao was telling the truth.
Du Maner was indeed proficient in alchemy.
After listening to her explanation, Fang Jinyu suddenly understood everything.
Fang Jinyu took out a ring and said, "Thank you so much, Martial Niece Du. I'll gift this talisman tool to you."
It was one of the talisman tools he had used before. It had two rings.
Despite being only a middle-tier talisman tool, it could increase the power of a spell cast. It was a rare supplemental talisman tool. It helped Fang Jinyu a lot when he was a disciple who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage.
Initially, Fang Jinyu wanted to give it to Xin Qianqian since he had no use for it. However, Xin Qianqian had both earth and wood attributes, so only one of the two rings was suitable for her.
As for the other one, he gifted Du Maner as a token of appreciation.
"It's a middle-tier talisman tool. Thank you so much, Martial Uncle!" Du Maner was shocked when she recognized the grade of the talisman tool, but uncontrollable joy soon filled her.
After all, she was only at rank 1 in the Qi Condensation stage, and a middle-tier talisman tool was something she could only come across by luck.
Fang Jinyu nodded and dismissed Du Maner.
He purchased more spirit herbs and then walked into the alchemy room.
However, two hours later, Fang Jinyu came out from the alchemy room again.
Meanwhile, he showed a gloomy expression.
Although he didn't burn the furnace, he still failed.
"It's too difficult!"
Hence, he prepared to purchase some more spirit herbs. Meanwhile, Du Maner, who had been familiar with the talisman tool, came over. When Du Maner saw the situation, she asked, "Martial Uncle, are you going to purchase spirit herbs?"
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
Although Du Maner asked him with a serious tone, Fang Jinyu felt that she was laughing at him.
However, he knew it was probably a psychological effect of his anger, so he nodded expressionlessly.
Du Maner immediately said, "Martial Uncle, although the herbs on each Mount Lingyao are sold at the same price, the spirit veins on each Mount Lingyao are different. As a result, certain peaks can grow a large amount of some spirit herbs easily…"
Fang Jinyu immediately understood what Du Maner meant and asked, "Do you mean there's a place where I can buy cheaper spirit herbs?"
After all, the more scarce an item was, the more expensive it was. When there were too many spirit herbs, the price would drop.
Although the price was fixed to prevent cut-throat competition in the sect, there would always be people who could come up with other ways.
"It's said there's a dark market jointly created by several martial uncles. You must buy at least a hundred portions of spirit herbs for each purchase. However, the price would be much lower. For example, a portion of spirit herbs costs ten spirit stones, so a hundred portions would cost a thousand. However, one hundred portions only cost seven hundred spirit stones in the dark market."
As soon as Du Maner finished speaking, Fang Jinyu was excited. It would save him three hundred spirit stones!
When he first transmigrated here, the former Fang Jinyu had only saved 600 spirit stones, including the ones left by his parents. It was equivalent to half of the total.
Fang Jinyu asked worriedly, "Where did you hear that from?" Although he believed that Du Maner wouldn't lie to him, he was worried that Du Maner had been deceived. After all, no Qi Condensation stage cultivator would dare to lie to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
It would be possible since no Qi Condensation stage cultivator would have a psychological burden to lie to a cultivator who ranks 1 in the Qi Condensation stage and has five-element spiritual roots?
Du Maner answered, "I heard a few senior brothers who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage mention it when I was invited to a gathering of the Mount Lingyao disciples. They are disciples from other peaks who have the potential to break through the Foundation Establishment stage."
Fang Jinyu was surprised and asked, "You can attend a gathering of disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage?" He remembered that the former Fang Jinyu had once wanted to participate in a gathering of the late-stage Qi Condensation stage disciples when he was ranked 5 in the Qi Condensation stage. He was escorted out, though.
Du Maner smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it's because of my appearance."
Fang Jinyu finally understood the situation.
Du Maner's beauty allowed her to attend gatherings of any stage of disciples to make up the numbers.

Failed Halfway Through the Start-up
Du Maner had left to run errands for him.
After all, he could save three hundred spirit stones, so it was inevitable that Fang Jinyu would be tempted.
...
However, after she had left, Fang Jinyu suddenly remembered something.
According to the book, there was a scandal about Tianling Sect. The sect suppressed the incident to prevent it from spreading since it involved too many people.
The scandal was revealed because a disciple of the Tianling Sect who just broke through the Foundation Establishment stage after years of hard work died mysteriously.
"The scandal seems to involve the eight peaks of Mount Lingyao…"
Fang Jinyu's heart skipped a beat.
"Du Maner is ambitious, but she's also very cautious. She's not an arrogant person. Logically speaking, the book will definitely describe her presence. Unless she's dead, and she died without people knowing…"
Before Fang Jinyu gave Du Maner the talisman tool, she had always been cautious with her words. She was reluctant to follow him but held her tongue and pretended not to feel anything. Her attitude toward him had always been respectful.
However, after Fang Jinyu gave Du Maner the talisman tool, she changed how she addressed him from "Martial Uncle Fang" to "Martial Uncle." Then, she even told him about the dark market.
She was treating him as someone close to her, so she wanted to help him save spirit stones.
"If this dark market is the scandal, and Du Maner wanted to help another Tianling Sect disciple back then, then…"
Fang Jinyu immediately got to his feet and left the alchemy room after having the thought.
He felt that his speculation was correct.
In the book, there was a description of the personality of the incredibly unlucky Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. The book described him as a kind, honest man who never got angry.
Therefore, he had a good reputation among the Tianling Sect's low-tier stage disciples.
Such a person should be able to win Du Maner's favor.
Fang Jinyu still needed to get a suitable spirit tool on hand. However, when he was promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Tianling Sect bestowed on him a low-tier spirit tool, the Ring of Blazing Fire.
The ring could summon a large amount of blazing fire and greatly enhance fire-element spells.
However, that was all the spirit tool could do.
Fang Jinyu was not picky. After all, an excellent low-tier spirit tool would cost at least two thousand spirit stones. Its price would be costly if it were a middle-tier spirit tool.
Fang Jinyu would have preferred to use the Ring of Blazing Fire among the low-tier spirit tools.
At the very least, it was more than enough.
Du Maner went by foot. Although the Tianling Sect provided low-tier Qi Condensation stage disciples with tools to travel with, how could she be faster than a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who could fly?
Soon, Fang Jinyu caught sight of Du Maner's figure from afar.
Du Maner had a graceful figure. With the elegant curve of her back and her long legs beneath the draped fabric of her dress, it was easy to recognize her just by looking at her back.
However, Du Maner wasn't in danger, contrary to Fang Jinyu's expectations. A disciple of Mount Lingyao who ranked 7 in the Qi Condensation stage brought her to meet a disciple who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage.
Then Du Maner opened her mouth and said something. Soon, another disciple of Mount Lingyao, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, came out and handed a green wooden box to Du Maner.
Du Maner opened the box to take a look. She handed over the 700 spirit stones she had prepared after ensuring they contained the required herbs.
Naturally, they were also kept in wooden boxes.
There were no items like storage bags here, only talisman tools like the Hundred-Treasure Box. The Hundred-Treasure Box was made of different materials to store different items.
Spirit stones were usually stored in a Hundred-Treasure Box made with red sandalwood. The spirit herbs were kept in the green wooden Hundred-Treasure Box, which could ensure the fullest extent of the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs.
"Did I guess wrong?"
Seeing that Du Maner had already returned, Fang Jinyu was slightly puzzled.
However, Fang Jinyu quickly confirmed that his predictions were correct.
When Du Maner was passing through a valley, someone suddenly stopped her.
"Senior Brother, what are you all doing?"
Du Maner was still calm and inquired. She wasn't panicking and vigilantly looked at the three disciples from Mount Lingyao standing in front of her, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage.
The three disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage looked at Du Maner playfully and laughed. One of them said, "Hand over the spirit herbs! We might spare your life if you make the three of us comfortable. Of course, you can't stay in the sect anymore. But don't worry, we'll send you out. Some mortal nobles will be willing to accept you, haha!"
"This spirit herb belongs to a Martial Uncle. Aren't you afraid that the Martial Uncle will trouble you?" Du Maner couldn't remain calm anymore. After all, she was only 16 years old. Even if she was cautious, it was inevitable for her to be afraid.
"If you disappear, everyone will think you've run away with the spirit herbs. By then, who would suspect us? After all, you're only a disciple who ranks 1 in the Qi Condensation stage with five-elemental spiritual roots! The beautiful Du Maner, we've all heard of your name. It's worth inviting you last time since you voluntarily come to meet me."
As the three disciples from Mount Lingyao, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, spoke, they threw out a spirit tool.
Furthermore, it was a scarce formation spirit tool.
When the three disciples activated it, it formed an array and sealed the place. Meanwhile, the array hid all the auras.
Du Maner's face instantly turned pale. She knew she was doomed. She didn't expect the so-called sect gathering to turn out to be a trap!
Unexpectedly, someone spoke, "Not bad! What a great spirit tool! An array-type middle-tier spirit tool!"
The newly constructed array was then physically destroyed from the inside.
Although the spirit tool was good, it depended on the cultivation base of the owner!
The three disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage were considered barely about the same as cultivators who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage. However, the difference was like heaven and earth! Not to mention the three disciples despised Du Maner, who ranked 1 in the Qi Condensation stage. They didn't even activate one-tenth of the power of the spirit tool!
Thus, Fang Jinyu broke it easily with one attack.
Only then did the disciples, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, notice Fang Jinyu. The three finally started to be afraid when they saw that Fang Jinyu had no intention of concealing his cultivation base.
They thought, "How will a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator be here?"
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu raised his hand. An invisible wind power gathered and transformed into three wind blades, severely injuring the three disciples.
Fang Jinyu had held back his strength.
After all, he had to hand them over to the sect, and he couldn't kill them.
Fang Jinyu was about to confiscate the formation spirit tool and take the three away with his wind harness technique. However, they heard a roar, "Who's fighting here?"
Then, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator descended from the sky.
When the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator saw Fang Jinyu, he immediately asked, "Junior Brother, why did you attack these three juniors?"
Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and pretended to be honest. He said, "Senior Brother, these three wanted to kill this Martial Niece. I happened to be here, so I took action and prepared to bring them to meet the sect leader."
When the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator heard Fang Jinyu's words, he went furious and said, "I see. Then leave it to me, Junior Brother. I'm a disciple from Mount Lingyao, so I should be the one to deal with them."
"Then, I'll leave it to you, Fang Jinyu."
"Thank you so much, Junior Brother." The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator took two steps forward, looking as if he was going to take the three disciples. However, just as he approached Fang Jinyu, he suddenly attacked.
However, the situation was different from what he had imagined. He failed in his attack.

Let the World to Have Another Female Lead
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of Mount Lingyao was stunned. He initially looked to be an upright person, but now he could not help but be shocked. Meanwhile, a stream of fire fell.
The blazing fire couldn't hurt the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator much. However, there were many of them, and they contained the internal energy of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
...
The blazing fire caught the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of Mount Lingyao off guard, and his face was burned by it. Although his injuries were not serious, he was in a mess.
"Senior Brother, why did you suddenly attack me?" Fang Jinyu had retreated to the side, preparing to escape at any moment.
Although his storm raging technique was a top-tier cultivation technique, the gap between their cultivation levels was large. His opponent was at rank 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage. If they continued the fight, Fang Jinyu would definitely lose.
However, he now understood how the unlucky, kind Foundation Establishment stage cultivator died in the book.
He was most likely to be ambushed.
If he didn't read the book that suddenly appeared and knew the plot, he wouldn't be on full alert all the time. Although he wouldn't have been ambushed, he wouldn't have been as calm as he was now.
"You…"
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of Mount Lingyao immediately changed his expression. He thought, "I've disguised myself well and succeeded once. Why did I fail this time?"
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu had made his move.
The storm raging technique was a superior cultivation technique with triple-element spiritual roots. Hence, it naturally did not only include wind-element magical powers. Fang Jinyu threw the Ring of Blazing Fire and chanted a spell. Soon, a large area of lightning surged.
It was one of the great divine powers of the storm raging technique, summoning storms with spells!
However, cultivators needed to pay a high price while using the spell. Cultivators would lose a spirit tool whenever they cast the spell. In addition, the successful cultivation of the spell was incredibly challenging. If Fang Jinyu didn't attempt cultivation the day before and unexpectedly refined the great divine powers, he wouldn't be able to master it.
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of Mount Lingyao was shocked when he saw the giant thundercloud. He wasn't afraid of Fang Jinyu's great divine powers, but he was worried that most disciples of the Tianling Sect had seen it since the thundercloud was too great.
As expected, a ray of light flew over, and a Core Formation stage cultivator arrived.
Meanwhile, the thunderclouds immediately dissipated.
The Core Formation stage cultivator asked coldly, "Why are you two fighting?"
Fang Jinyu didn't recognize the Core Formation stage cultivator, but the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of Mount Lingyao did. The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's expression brightened. He quickly said, "Martial Uncle, please allow me to report that I took action when seeing this junior brother committing a crime here. My purpose was to save these three people!"
Fang Jinyu thought, "Wow! He plans to bring suit to the victims."
Meanwhile, two more rays of light flew over, and another two Core Formation stage cultivators arrived.
One of the Core Formation stage cultivators smiled at the first Core Formation stage cultivator who arrived and said, "Senior Brother, they are the disciples of your peak."
"Junior Brother is right. I'll leave the matter to the sect leader. I won't bother anymore." When the Core Formation stage cultivator who arrived first heard it, he didn't change his expression. He only nodded and left.
Meanwhile, the sect leader had rushed over after hearing the news. When the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of Mount Lingyao saw the sect leader, he hurriedly repeated the words he had said earlier.
The sect leader asked Fang Jinyu with a poker face, "Junior Brother Fang, is that true?"
"I've activated this Discipline Pearl from the beginning. Sect Master, please close it for me later." Then, Fang Jinyu took out the Discipline Pearl.
He had refined the Discipline Pearl when he received it.
However, he had never activated it.
Unlike talisman tools and spirit tools, the Discipline Pearl would record everything around once it was activated. Even a Core Formation stage cultivator couldn't deactivate it without knowing the right method.
Therefore, when Fang Jinyu took out the Discipline Pearl, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of Mount Lingyao changed his expression. He cried in horror, "Why do you have the Discipline Pearl?"
With the presence of the Discipline Pearl, everything was clear.
However, there was no more follow-up to the matter.
It was as if it had never happened.
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of Mount Lingyao and the three disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage disappeared.
Even though Fang Jinyu had been mentally prepared for such a result, he could not help but feel indignant.
When the sect leader returned the Discipline Pearl to him, he had specifically told him to keep it a secret.
[Today is a day of acting bravely.]
[Refined the opportunity of the new female lead 1]
"What? I can even refine such a thing?"
Fang Jinyu looked at the little arrow in front of him and was dumbfounded. Luck, understanding, inner energy, appearance, and so on were all related to him, but the new female lead's opportunity had nothing to do with him!
Fang Jinyu stared at the second line of text that was disappearing.
"A new female lead?"
"Is it Du Maner?"
Fang Jinyu thought about it and could only think of Du Maner. She had the worst talent, a calm personality, ambitious, and looked pretty. Weren't these the standards of a good-for-nothing protagonist?
"Then, does it mean that there will be two female leads in this world in the future?" Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel strange.
"Initially, I just wanted to recover the loss of 700 spirit stones. But why did I end up creating another female lead?"
"Why did I feel like the current situation is more beneficial to me?"
"This world operates with luck. There is no doubt that the female lead, Su Yier, has the strongest luck. However, will Su Yier's luck be divided in half if another female lead appears?"
"I'll find out about it when observing Su Yier's cultivation progress in the future. If she didn't break through the Core Formation stage within five years, it indicates that she only has half her luck left."
With the thought in his mind, Fang Jinyu followed the little arrow that only he could see and searched for opportunities.
"The opportunity isn't far away."
"Oh yeah! If the opportunity is too far away, how could Du Maner, a little rookie, get it?"
In the end, Fang Jinyu dug out an exquisite Hundred-Treasure Box from an unremarkable place. There was nothing in the box except for two elixirs.
The two elixirs appeared normal, but they also resembled black poison elixirs.
Fang Jinyu thought for a while and took one of them.
After restoring the place to its original state, Fang Jinyu left and began to read all sorts of elixir books. However, he couldn't find any records of the elixir.
Although there were a few records of similar elixirs, they didn't seem reliable after considering Du Maner's situation.
Since it was Du Maner's future opportunity, the elixirs must be helpful to her!
Afterward, Fang Jinyu began to search for all sorts of legendary elixir books. After going through the books for two days, he finally found one.
"The Mortal-Transmutation Elixir. After consuming one elixir, one's lifespan will be reduced by 30 years. It can remove the weakest attribute in one's spiritual roots. However, it can't help with the dual-element spiritual root transforming into the Tianling spiritual root."
Fang Jinyu's eyes lit up. If he was not mistaken, the elixir in his hand should be the Mortal-Transmutation Elixir!
It was an elixir that could turn a cultivator with five-elemental spiritual roots into one with dual-elemental spiritual roots!
Of course, the premise was that he had a long enough lifespan to be deducted.

The Lucky Star
"One has to shorten their lifespan for 30 years after consuming the Mortal-Transmutation Elixir. Moreover, one can only consume the elixir at a cultivation base lower than the Core Formation stage. In that case, Du Maner will only be able to transform into four-elemental spiritual roots if I take one, but it should be just right for her."
Fang Jinyu could not help but feel surprised.
...
Although a cultivator with triple-elemental spiritual roots had a higher chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage than a cultivator with four-elemental spiritual roots, they would face the problem of not being able to live until they broke through the Foundation Establishment stage!
Losing 30 years of lifespan at once would cause a lot of damage to the body.
Not to mention that one's lifespan was suddenly reduced by 60 years.
If the 16-year-old Du Maner took two Mortal-Transmutation Elixir, she could only live for another ten years and turn from a young girl into a white-haired old woman.
However, Fang Jinyu hesitated about whether he should consume it.
It was indeed a fate-changing elixir. However, Fang Jinyu would reduce his lifespan by 30 years!
Even Core Formation stage cultivators would feel their hearts bleeding for a long time when they lose 30 years of lifespan.
Moreover, he wasn't a cultivator who lacked opportunity and had no other choice!
However, after some thought, Fang Jinyu still consumed the pill.
It was because there was a complete set of high-tier magic spells hidden in the memories of the former Fang Jinyu.
It was the supreme wind-thunder scripture!
The parents of the former Fang Jinyu obtained it. Initially, his parents wanted to hand it over to the sect. However, for some unknown reason, the former Fang Jinyu's parents let the young former Fang Jinyu memorize it before destroying it.
Only cultivators with dual wind and lightning spiritual roots could cultivate the supreme wind-thunder scripture.
Coincidentally, among Fang Jinyu's wind, fire, and lightning spiritual roots, his wind and lightning spiritual roots were graded B-, while his fire spiritual roots were graded C-.
In the past few days of cultivation, Fang Jinyu had felt the burden of the "fire" in his spiritual roots.
The spiritual roots were divided into A, B, C, and D grades, and each grade was divided into high and low tiers. A grade of C- in his spiritual roots was regarded as a pass. Otherwise, the former Fang Jinyu wouldn't be able to be ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage in his twenties. However… It was inferior to Fang Jinyu's other two spiritual roots.
Although it would take a long time to switch to another cultivation technique and even cause his cultivation base to be weakened, it was obvious that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages compared to the gains.
In the Nine Desolations, there was a ranking of high-tier magic spells.
The Tianling Sect's storm raging technique was outside the top 100.
The supreme wind-thunder scripture was ranked 93rd. Although there were no records of cultivators using the supreme wind-thunder scripture to break through the Nascent Soul stage, there were many cases of cultivators successfully breaking through the Core Formation stage by cultivating it. The majority of them were well-known in the Nine Desolations.
Fang Jinyu immediately began his closed-door cultivation.
His closed-door cultivation had lasted for two months!
By the time he ended his closed-door cultivation, Fang Jinyu had already completed his cultivation transition. It was naturally contributed by the cheat he had on him.
In the past two months, Fang Jinyu had slightly improved his cultivation base after gaining nine points in understanding, six points in understanding great divine powers, and five points in refining inner energy.
He felt that cheating made things way easier!
"Although I've lost 30 years of my life, I don't seem to have aged much after gaining some points on refining my appearance. It is considered a surprise."
As Fang Jinyu circulated his inner energy, he could feel the density of his inner energy. He could even see traces of electricity shimmering on his skin.
"As expected of a top-tier cultivation technique that can be ranked in the top 100 of the Nine Desolations! However, I have to work hard on my cultivation from now on. I must rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage within 30 years."
Fang Jinyu was smug with success and once again made his way to one of Mount Lingyao's peaks named "Li."
Fang Jinyu valued alchemy skills even though he didn't need to save up merit points to exchange for the guide of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's storm raging technique. Without cultivating alchemy, Fang Jinyu wasn't confident enough to rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage within 30 years.
After all, he could only use his cheat once a day.
He believed it was better to bet on the probability of gaining points in understanding alchemy because it was easier than gaining points in refining inner energy.
Gaining one point in inner energy could save him more than a month's worth of cultivation. However, a top-tier elixir that he needed in his current stage could help him save several years of cultivation!
It was the reason alchemists had such high status in the world of cultivators.
Fang Jinyu arrived at one of Mount Lingyao's peaks named "Li" and was ready to continue his alchemy. He didn't need to buy any more spirit herbs and only had to rent an alchemy room.
And this time, he finally succeeded in refining the elixir.
"Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir."
It was a common elixir in the Qi Condensation stage and had many applications. High-tier Qi Condensation stage disciples would use it to restore their inner energy, and low-tier Qi Condensation stage disciples would use it to improve their inner energy. Sometimes, the elixir was also indispensable when breaking through a bottleneck since it could reduce the damage of one who failed to break through forcefully.
Fang Jinyu continued to work hard. When he had refined all 100 portions of spirit herbs, although his success rate was only 10%, he had obtained 85 Qi and Soul Replenish Elixirs.
The elixir wasn't considered expensive, but it was definitely not cheap.
Back then, Fang Jinyu had only been able to purchase one Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir after a month of cleaning feces.
Fang Jinyu kept five Qi and Soul Replenish Elixirs and sold the rest to the sect for 1600 spirit stones.
He kept five Qi replenishing pills and had Fang Jinyu sell the rest to the sect for 1600 spirit stones. The Tianling Sect didn't charge any additional fees to encourage disciples to cultivate their alchemy skills. The sect would only charge by the price at which it should be sold. It was convenient for the sect's Qi Condensation stage disciples who needed it and benefited those who wanted to cultivate alchemy.
"Alchemists are indeed very rich."
Fang Jinyu couldn't help but sigh. Only those who had a stable success rate of 30% for ten types of elixirs could be called alchemists. He could imagine how wealthy those alchemists were.
"It's a pity that the dark market is a scam. However, it should be gone now. Otherwise, I may have gained a little more."
Fang Jinyu slightly shook his head. Afterward, he was going to purchase another 100 portions of spirit herbs.
If he wanted to improve his alchemy skills other than through self-understanding, he still needed to practice more. The process was undoubtedly very costly.
Just as Fang Jinyu walked out, he found that Du Maner had been waiting for him for a while.
"Martial Uncle."
When Du Maner saw Fang Jinyu, she immediately smiled.
Fang Jinyu sized up Du Maner and found the current Du Maner looked even more mature. She looked like a 16-year-old girl back then. However, she had the appearance of a young woman now.
Obviously, she had already found her opportunity and consumed the Mortal-Transmutation Elixir.
They hadn't seen each other for two months. Du Maner's cultivation base was currently ranked 2 in the Qi Condensation stage.
The situation made Fang Jinyu confident that Du Maner was the new female lead, who enjoyed the same status as Su Yier in this world and was also the lucky star.
Fang Jinyu pretended to sigh and said, "Congratulations on breaking through the shackles of talent. You should have obtained a Mortal-Transmutation Elixir, right? Although the elixir was good, you needed to pay a high price. Since I haven't rewarded you for the last time you ran an errand for me, I'm giving you this bottle of Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir. I believe it can help you break through to rank 3."
Fang Jinyu had decided to build a good relationship with Du Maner. He didn't expect her to repay him, but he hoped she wouldn't trouble him. He even hoped Du Maner would give him a treasure one day. He would be happy to get the treasure even if they had to end their friendship.
After all, Fang Jinyu was unwilling to offend her—a cultivator who would break through the Nascent Soul stage in a dozen years!
Although Fang Jinyu had some speculations about the luck of the two female leads, they were just his speculations. Hence, he decided to use Su Yier's upgrade method on Du Maner.

I'll Take Advantage of This Opportunity
"Thank you, Martial Uncle." Du Maner was overjoyed, but she couldn't help but ask, "Martial Uncle, how did you know? Can I restore my previous appearance in the future?"
Du Maner couldn't help but feel uneasy when she asked the second question.
...
Since Fang Jinyu was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he was allowed to look up to many alchemy books due to the status brought by his cultivation base. However, Du Maner was different. She could only lend a few alchemy books.
"I saw it before and was immediately amazed by this great elixir. As for whether you can recover your appearance, I don't know. However, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator will have 200 year of lifespan. Even if you can't recover your looks, you should be able to maintain your current appearance for a long time."
"Thank you for your guidance, Martial Uncle. By the way, Martial Uncle…" Du Maner was a little sad, but she immediately adjusted her mood. Afterward, she took the initiative to approach Fang Jinyu and whispered.
Du Maner wasn't trying to gossip but to tell Fang Jinyu that she had seen a Tianling Sect disciple who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage holding a pair of low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tools to test its power on the drill ground.
Fang Jinyu couldn't help but change his expression.
It was because the Tianling Sect Leader had said that he would give him a pair of low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tools as a reward for discovering the scam in the dark market.
Even though they were low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tools, they were scarce in the cultivation world.
In addition, it was very powerful. Usually, a low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tool was more expensive than a decent middle-tier spirit tool. Moreover, it was hard to purchase.
In Tianling Sect, there was only one pair of low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tools.
It was formed of a hammer and a nail.
Du Maner was present and heard the Tianling Sect Leader say it. Hence, she also knew about it.
"I'll go find the sect leader."
Fang Jinyu recalled that the sect leader said he would send someone to deliver the spirit tool. However, he didn't see any talisman or anyone to inform him after he had finished his closed-door cultivation.
This time, Fang Jinyu had to wait half a day before meeting the sect leader.
After a while, Fang Jinyu left Mount Tianling with a slightly ghastly expression.
"I'll remember it."
Fang Jinyu was slightly angry because the sect leader had told him that the pair of low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tools had been taken away by the grandson of a Core Formation stage cultivator three days ago. The sect leader had given him two choices. One was to wait for the sect to collect another low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tool, and the second was to compensate him with 2000 spirit stones.
Fang Jinyu muttered, "Can 2000 spirit stones buy a low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tool?"
"Even 5,000 spirit stones might not be able to buy it!"
However, Fang Jinyu had no choice.
He could only choose to take the 2000 spirit stones.
It was because Fang Jinyu had realized that the scam of the dark market was just the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, his actions offended the benefits of many people.
If it was just a simple no-cost scam, how could the three disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage have a middle-tier spirit tool? It was even an array spirit tool!
In terms of attributes, lightning-attribute spirit tools were the most precious in this world. They were usually in high demand but not in supply. It was because those who had obtained a lightning-attribute spirit tool or a treasure of heaven and earth that could be used to refine a lightning-attribute spirit tool would usually use it for their use and would never sell it!
In terms of category, array spirit tools were naturally the most precious!
It took a lot of work to refine an array-spirit tool and required the refiner to be proficient in formation techniques.
"Back then, a Core Formation stage cultivator who belonged to the same peak as the four arrived first, followed by two other Core Formation stage cultivators. One of them told the first Core Formation stage cultivator to avoid arousing suspicion… I'm afraid the dark market involved the dispute between the Core Formation stage cultivators!"
With his thoughts, Fang Jinyu immediately made a decision. He decided not to leave the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" until the opening of the Lingdu Secret Realm!
Compared to Mount Xiaohe, although the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" wasn't in charge by a Core Formation stage cultivator, it had richer spiritual energy.
Otherwise, all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from Mount Xiaohe wouldn't have gone to other peaks.
For example, Fang Jinyu, the new Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to switch his cultivation technique, he would never have returned to Mount Xiaohe.
[Today is a day of working hard to refine elixirs but no gains in alchemy skills.]
[Refined alchemy skills 1]
All the information about alchemy in Fang Jinyu's mind seemed to come alive instantly, allowing him to improve his alchemy skills by leaps and bounds. When he opened the furnace the next day, he was able to maintain the success rate of the Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir at 20%!
It ignited Fang Jinyu's passion for alchemy.
"I'm indeed a genius in alchemy!"
A shameless new Foundation Establishment stage cultivator praised himself.
A few days later, Fang Jinyu's success rate in refining the Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir had risen to 90% due to his good luck!
It was a terrifying success rate and helped Fang Jinyu's wealth increase daily.
Fang Jinyu, on the other hand, only sold a portion of the Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir because he had to register his name when he sold them to the Tianling Sect for 20 spirit stones per elixir.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu only sold 30% of them.
Even so, 30% of the elixirs were enough for Fang Jinyu to be famous at the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li".
After all, it indicated that Fang Jinyu had a decent talent for alchemy.
However, Fang Jinyu left the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" on this day.
It was because Fang Jinyu once again surprisingly refined Du Maner's future opportunity. Just like the previous one, it showed a small arrow. However, the direction it was pointing was to leave the Tianling Sect.
After some consideration, Fang Jinyu decided to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Yes, I'm willing to take advantage!"
Just in case, Fang Jinyu took the initiative to look for Du Maner and offered her five Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir. He asked her to take him to Yuan City, located outside the Tianling Sect.
Fang Jinyu thought, "With the second female lead's luck, even if there is danger, she should be able to turn it into a blessing, right?"
Yuan City was a city where mortals lived together.
It didn't belong to any imperial court.
Yuan City was outside the law, just like the other immortal cities.
When Yuan City was built, it was a place where the disciples of the Tianling Sect married and raised their children. It had formed a massive city outside the imperial court's jurisdiction as time passed!
As for Du Maner, although she had just moved to Yuan City, she had lived there for many years before Du Maner joined the Tianling Sect. Hence, she could be considered a native of Yuan City.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been accepted by Mount Lingyao as an exception with her five-element spiritual roots.
Even though Mount Lingyao frequently accepted visually appealing disciples, one's spiritual roots had to meet a certain standard. After all, the sect couldn't keep a disciple stuck in the early stages of Qi Condensation for the rest of their lives, could it?
Even if cultivators with five-element spiritual roots cultivated to death and were fortunate enough to meet some small opportunities, they would only be at rank 3 in the Qi Condensation stage.
Du Maner was pleased with Fang Jinyu's invitation. After all, he had saved her life. Hence, she didn't take the elixir but was willing to take him around Yuan City. Also, it was a good opportunity for her to go home.
Fang Jinyu didn't force her to accept the bottle of elixirs and followed the arrow in his field of vision. As for Du Maner, she would naturally follow Fang Jinyu wherever he went. After all, Fang Jinyu had yet to specify where he wanted to go.
Finally, the two came to a stall set up by a Qi Condensation stage cultivator.
Fang Jinyu glanced at it and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "What a cliche scene…"
He already knew what would happen next!

The Terrifying Power of the "Lucky Star"
Although Fang Jinyu had been busy studying alchemy, he had mastered the breath-hiding technique for a long time. After all, it was a necessary skill for cultivators.
However, Fang Jinyu had no intention of hiding himself.
...
It depended on time for him to pretend to be weak.
In this place, one could avoid unnecessary trouble by revealing their cultivation base. Of course, the main reason was that the girl beside him was too beautiful. Although her appearance had changed from a young girl to a young woman, she appeared even more attractive. Her appearance made every man looking at her feel like a cat was scratching at his heart.
Not all cultivators were dedicated to cultivation. Most of the Qi Condensation stage cultivators and the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were no different from mortals. Moreover, because they had extraordinary power, their desires in all aspects were ten times stronger than mortals!
Not only would Qi Condensation stage cultivators and the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators desire beautiful women and wealth, but they would also want more!
Fang Jinyu turned to the Qi Condensation stage cultivator and said, "I'll take them all. Give me the price!"
"Yes, Senior. It's a total of 30 spirit stones."
The stall owner didn't dare to say anything more. After calculating the price, he wrapped up the item and handed it to Du Maner.
From the stall owner's perspective, the beautiful woman with a lower cultivation base than him was probably the maidservant of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in front of him.
After all, it was very common among cultivators. Some cultivators would exchange beauty for protection and cultivation resources.
Fang Jinyu took out 30 spiritual stones and turned to leave.
After walking for a while, Du Maner couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Martial Uncle, is there something good that hasn't been discovered yet inside?"
Du Maner was curious because she found nothing special when she carefully looked at the stall's items.
"Well, I won't say it out loud. You can look for it later. If you find it, I'll give you half." Fang Jinyu's words looked natural, and he didn't seem embarrassed.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"
Du Maner couldn't help but be happy. Although she didn't think she could find it, she wanted to use the opportunity to gain some experience.
As the saying goes, experience is the mother of all wisdom.
Du Maner had become more cautious after encountering the scam of the dark market. She believed that experience would help a lot in increasing her wariness!
Du Maner thought, "If I am experienced and knowledgeable, I'll naturally not be easily deceived."
"Just like that day, I didn't realize something was wrong with the dark market, but Martial Uncle immediately noticed it and followed me…"
However, it was just something Fang Jinyu had made up for his actions that day.
If Du Maner had carefully considered Fang Jinyu's words, she would have found flaws. However, she believed that Fang Jinyu had a kind and honest character!
Although honest people were honest, nobody said that honest people must be stupid. It was just that a gentleman could be deceived reasonably.
Coincidentally, Fang Jinyu could break through to the Foundation Establishment stage by fully understanding his cultivation technique and accumulating his inner energy. In the eyes of many, he was an honest and quick-witted man.
The two of them found a quiet place and opened the package. Fang Jinyu first tried to rummage through it.
He found one, but it wasn't.
He found another one, but it was still different.
They were just like what they looked like on the surface.
Afterward, it was Du Maner's turn. She picked up a roll of dirty bamboo slips, opened it, and wiped it a few times. Nobody knew how she did it, but she triggered the hidden restriction on the bamboo slips. Hence, it revealed its actual appearance.
It was a vintage jade slip!
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
However, it met his expectations!
Since the arrow disappeared when it was in touch with the stall, Fang Jinyu had no idea which stall was the "opportunity."
Although the new female lead had no idea about it, she would definitely be able to find it!
It was just a cliche trick.
Meanwhile, Du Maner handed over the jade slip.
She didn't dare keep it for herself.
Fang Jinyu was shocked after looking at it. It was a fortune-telling technique!
The fortune-telling technique wasn't the ability to read other people's fortunes. Instead, it was a one-of-a-kind technique that used one's luck to predict good or bad luck and hide the others' fortune!
In short, it was exclusive to campers.
Once one cultivated the fortune-telling technique, if their luck sensed danger, it would immediately reflect the problem to them to allow them to avoid it. On the other hand, if their luck sensed any benefits, they would immediately have a telepathic connection. It was like the saying, "The treasure is fated with me."
However, using the fortune-telling technique to hide the others' fortune… It was extremely evil.
As long as the cultivator used it, even if he stood in front of the other party, the other party would not be able to sense it. He could even kill the other party and leave them to die unknowingly.
Of course, the prerequisite was one's luck had to be strong enough.
"The fortune-telling technique is illusory. I've already memorized it, so you can destroy it after remembering it! If you can learn it, then learn it. If you can't, then don't force yourself."
After finishing his words, Fang Jinyu returned the jade slip to Du Maner with an indifferent look.
Although he pretended to be indifferent, his words were true.
After memorizing it, Fang Jinyu tried to comprehend the fortune-telling technique, but he couldn't understand it. The strange thing was that he clearly felt he had completely understood it.
It was indeed worthy of being the most mysterious secret technique in the cultivation world.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle."
Du Maner was stunned and thought, "I know how extraordinary the contents on the jade slip are, but I didn't expect Martial Uncle Fang to give it to me."
"He shared it with me just like we had agreed on before!"
"Furthermore, the way this Martial Uncle Fang looked at me didn't even have the slightest hint of lust."
Meanwhile, Du Maner couldn't help but agree with Fang Jinyu's honest character. Moreover, she was also moved by Fang Jinyu's "integrity".
She had no idea that Fang Jinyu was planning to take advantage of her.
After all, Du Maner had the chance to consume the Mortal-Transmutation Elixir when she was only at rank 1 in the Qi Condensation stage.
Moreover, when Du Maner was at rank 2 in the Qi Condensation stage, she discovered an extremely rare secret technique like fortune-telling! It was an ability that usually Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters had!
Fang Jinyu couldn't imagine what would happen when Du Maner reached rank 3, rank 4, and even the Foundation Establishment stage…
At that time, the benefits Du Maner could bring would be unimaginable!
Moreover, Du Maner would greatly increase her chances of surviving with the camper's exclusive fortune-telling technique. Fang Jinyu didn't hope the "lucky star" he had accidentally created would disappear for no reason. He was expecting that the two "lucky stars" would fight in the future!
After all, the battle between the two would benefit him, the cheater.
Fang Jinyu's plan was clear.
After all, nothing was more profitable than investing in a "lucky star."
After that, Du Maner went back to visit her parents, while Fang Jinyu found a place to continue his study of the fortune-telling technique. Fang Jinyu thought, "It didn't matter if I couldn't understand it. I just wanted to gain points in 'fortune-telling'!"

The Golden Core Can Open Heaven Gate
[Today is a day of diligent study of the fortune-telling technique, but unfortunately, there's no gain.]
[Refined understanding of the fortune-telling technique 1]
...
As the saying goes, "The heavens won't let down the determined," and "Utmost sincerity can break the stone," Fang Jinyu's fortune-telling technique had finally reached the beginner stage. On the other hand, he suspected that his success was due to exploiting the terrifying luck of the "lucky star."
Afterward, he saw his wisp of luck.
It was as thin as a strand of hair and slightly green. If he didn't look carefully, he would think his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"It's only this little?"
Although Fang Jinyu couldn't see the luck of others, he could imagine that he was probably the same as a passerby.
"Being a passerby… It doesn't seem too bad, either. Although a passerby is not much different from cannon fodder, at least a passerby won't die unknowingly." Fang Jinyu was a little disdainful of his luck, but he accepted the fact.
After all, no matter what, his condition was much better than what was described in the book!
It was the result of his perseverance and hard work!
Then, Fang Jinyu immediately tried to use the fortune-telling technique. Since Fang Jinyu was just a beginner, he didn't dare to be arrogant and ran to a deserted place to try his new technique. Instead, he came to a market in Yuan City, where he had once been.
Since mortals and cultivators lived together in Yuan City, there were both cultivators and mortals in the market. Sometimes, mortals would discover what appeared to be cultivation items. However, since they were unsure about it, they would simply display it for sale in the market. Each item was worth one spirit stone, which could be exchanged for gold in the market.
From the perspective of the cultivators, it was undoubtedly exploiting and bullying the mortals. However, from the perspective of the mortals, it was an opportunity to get rich!
Moreover, most of the mortals in Yuan City knew about cultivators.
Although not every family in Yuan City had an immortal cultivator in their family, mortals living inside could confidently say that they knew some cultivators or had once held a young cultivator.
Therefore, many mortals knew that the Qi Condensation stage cultivators possessed some supernatural powers and were more powerful than martial heroes. In terms of lifespan, they were no different from mortals. Some mortals who practiced good health maintenance could outlive a Qi Condensation stage cultivator.
As a result, the mortals of Yuan City respected the Qi Condensation stage cultivators, but they weren't afraid of them.
For example, when Fang Jinyu passed by a house, he saw a disciple who ranked 5 in the Qi Condensation stage being scolded by his mother in front of the door. The disciple hung his head and didn't dare to talk back to his mother. Meanwhile, quite a few people were watching around the house. None worried that the disciple who ranked 5 in the Qi Condensation stage would come after them for revenge.
"As expected, it's rare to see such a stupid young man like Lu Shaojun," Fang Jinyu sighed. Afterward, he walked deep inside the market.
Mortals were in the peripheral area of the market. However, the internal area was filled with cultivators. After all, there had to be a place to serve the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
As for the great Core Formation stage cultivators…
If the great Core Formation stage cultivators came to the market, they must be out of their minds.
It was because the place where the great Core Formation stage cultivators exchanged their items was in the sky! Once one had formed their golden core, they could use it to open the Heaven Gate and enter the Little Heaven Realm, which was above the Nine Desolations.
On the other hand, the great Core Formation stage cultivators could not enter the Little Heaven Realm at any time. Every five years, the Little Heaven Realm would gradually remove its barrier and allow the great Core Formation stage cultivators to enter.
For the great Core Formation stage cultivators, who lived for 500 years, five years was the same as one closed-door cultivation session.
Fang Jinyu was wandering around.
All of a sudden, Fang Jinyu had a strange feeling. However, the strange thing was that he couldn't sense anything when he tried to sense it carefully.
Soon, Fang Jinyu understood it was probably a reaction to his fortune-telling technique!
It must be something good since he didn't sense any fear!
It could also be an opportunity!
Immediately, he wandered around the area.
At first, nothing happened, but suddenly, an inexplicable sense appeared. This time, Fang Jinyu took advantage of the opportunity and quickly followed his instincts.
After a while, Fang Jinyu looked at the little girl in front of him with a puzzled look.
The little girl was also confused by the situation.
The two of them looked at each other in confusion.
Fang Jinyu thought, "What?! Is it all the fortune-telling technique can sense?"
Meanwhile, the little girl asked with uncertainty, "Are you my mother?"
Fang Jinyu was silent.
Hence, he squatted down and asked considerately, "Are you blind?"
"Then you're my father?" The little girl readily accepted his advice.
Fang Jinyu was silent again.
Fang Jinyu had heard of a few stories about little tadpoles looking for their mothers, but about little girls looking for their fathers… He once read a few stories about it before he transmigrated.
"No, I'm not." Fang Jinyu shook his head.
"Then who are you?" The little girl glanced at Fang Jinyu confusingly.
Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and introduced himself, "I'm Fang Jinyu, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Tianling Sect." Other than the perception of his fortune-telling technique, he personally felt the little girl was a little strange.
She was young, but her eyes weren't like a child's sparkling eyes.
Instead, she looked as calm as a lake, as if she could see through one's heart.
"I… Who am I again?" The little girl wanted to copy Fang Jinyu's introduction, but she was stunned when she opened her mouth.
She then turned to look at Fang Jinyu.
"…"
Fang Jinyu thought, "Why is she looking at me? I won't be here if it isn't for my fortune-telling technique."
"I don't know. Little girl, don't look at me." Fang Jinyu shook his head.
"Oh!"
The little girl nodded and followed behind Fang Jinyu.
"You want to go with me?" Fang Jinyu asked.
"Are you blind?"
Fang Jinyu felt her words were familiar, making him want to hit her. However, he held back because he knew the fortune-telling technique would not give nonsense hints.
"Alright then. After all, the Tianling Sect will be recruiting disciples within a few months anyway. Hence, you can stay there for a while."
Fang Jinyu pretended to be nonchalant as he walked out of the market.
He did want to buy things in the market. However, he was short of money!
Fang Jinyu thought he was already considered rich by possessing more than 7000 spirit stones. However, after asking about the price of elixirs for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, he realized he was still poor.
The most common elixir for increasing inner energy in the early Foundation Establishment stage was the Spirit Summoning Elixir, which cost 800 spirit stones. Some rarer elixirs cost over 1000 spirit stones, making them more expensive than inferior low-tier spirit items!
Fang Jinyu didn't have enough spirit stones to buy a bottle of Spirit Summoning Elixir.
However, the effect of the Spirit Summoning Elixir was excellent. Usually, as long as there was no bottleneck, one would basically break through rank 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage after consuming three or four bottles of the Spirit Summoning Elixir.
Of course, the premise was that he had to have at least or lower attributes than triple-element spirit roots.
One's ability to refine and absorb the elixirs will improve directly to their spiritual roots talent.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu was going to return and continue cultivating his alchemy skills, striving to be able to refine elixirs for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators as soon as possible!

There's a Great Core Formation Stage Cultivator Out of Her Mind
Fang Jinyu's started to be famous.
He had achieved a success rate of 60% in the refinement of an elixir for cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage, as his elixir formation rate was rising day by day. Even the sect leader summoned Fang Jinyu to give him a round of encouragement and praise.
...
The sect leader did it not because he was treating Fang Jinyu differently but because… It was the primary job of a sect leader.
After all, a Holy Alchemist's success rate was 70%!
Fang Jinyu had only revealed a 60% success rate, and it was only the success rate of refining the Qi Condensation stage elixirs. However, the success rate indicated Fang Jinyu could also have such a high success rate when he refined Foundation Establishment stage elixirs in the future.
If he continued to refine elixirs for a long time, he might even become a Holy Alchemist!
Then, Fang Jinyu successfully obtained the formula for making Foundation Establishment stage elixirs and was allowed to exchange them for spirit herbs.
Unlike the Qi Condensation stage elixir formulas and spirit herbs, the Foundation Establishment stage elixir formulas and spirit herbs could only be rented or exchanged after one had obtained the qualification.
The Qi Condensation stage, after all, was still a part of the mortal world. However, the Foundation Establishment stage was the beginning of transcendence.
Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were the core strength of each sect.
Even if a sect had a Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster, as long as there were too few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the decline of the sect would be close.
Today, Fang Jinyu began to refine Foundation Establishment stage elixirs.
It was also the day that Fang Jinyu blew up his alchemy furnace once again.
He was using a spiritual alchemy furnace. Although it was only a low-tier spiritual alchemy furnace, it had an extraordinary power. Hence, it directly destroyed three alchemy rooms.
It was because the three alchemy rooms were next to each other.
Fang Jinyu, however, managed to flee the alchemy room just as the furnace blew up. After all, he practiced the supreme wind-thunder scripture, one of the Nine Desolations' top 100 techniques.
His escape technique was at the fastest speed a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could reach!
However, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the other two alchemy rooms were unlucky and ran out with their faces covered in dirt. It was their first time trying to refine Foundation Establishment stage elixirs, and it was hard for them to avoid blowing up the alchemy furnace. If not for the fact that they were all from the same sect and were not sure about their strength in refining elixirs, the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would definitely have attacked Fang Jinyu!
However, Fang Jinyu also paid a huge sum in spirit stones.
The penalty had emptied more than half of his savings!
"Only 20000 spirit stones are left."
Fang Jinyu sighed in his heart, feeling as if he had returned to his original state.
Fortunately, Fang Jinyu didn't blow up his alchemy furnace again. After all, he was a man who cheated.
Fang Jinyu started to sell 10% of the elixirs to the public when he reached a success rate of 30% in refining the Foundation Establishment stage elixirs. He wanted to let the others know he could refine Foundation Establishment stage elixirs.
Moreover, it was because Fang Jinyu was short on money, and he had no choice but to exchange for some spirit stones.
Fang Jinyu wasn't refining the Spirit Summoning Elixir. He had only refined the Mini Entry-Level Elixir, which was suitable for the cultivators who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage. Even though he had just refined the Mini Entry-Level Elixir, it was still valuable, and one elixir would cost 300 spirit stones.
It costs 15 times the price of an elixir for cultivators at the Qi Condensation stage.
By selling 70 mini entry-level elixirs, Fang Jinyu had earned 21000 spirit stones!
It made Fang Jinyu sigh, "It's so easy to earn spirit stones at the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"How many spirit stones are needed to exchange for a spirit pearl that only trades between Core Formation stage cultivators?" Fang Jinyu could not help but think of the three magic treasures hidden in the Lingdu Secret Realm. Other than feeding them with the inner energy of a Core Formation stage cultivator, the spiritual energy of the spirit pearl could barely refine them.
Cultivators used spirit stones as currency in the Qi Condensation stage, the Foundation Establishment stage, sects, the imperial court, and the mortal world. Spirit stones were usually mined from the mountains near the spirit vein, so they often had irregular shapes.
As for spirit pearls, they were products that gathered the essence of heaven and earth. The common spiritual pearls were fire-spirit pearls, water-spirit pearls, earth-spirit pearls, wood-spirit pearls, and metal-spirit pearls, which were also the spiritual pearls of the five elements.
The spiritual energy in the spirit pearls was purer than the inner energy of some Core Formation stage cultivators. Hence, the spirit pearls were often monopolized by the Core Formation stage cultivators.
Of course, a few spirit pearls were collected by some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and even Qi Condensation stage cultivators.
Fang Jinyu had read in a book that a sporadic lightning-spirit pearl was collected by a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Qi Condensation stage. However, the cultivator wasn't in the Nine Desolations but on another cultivation continent.
From what Fang Jinyu knew, another cultivation continent would suddenly appear near the Nine Desolations in another ten years and then crash into the Nine Desolations.
The various natural disasters brought about by the crash instantly destroyed two sects!
Only the great Core Formation stage cultivators escaped after being severely injured.
However, these were still too far away from him, so Fang Jinyu could only suppress his thoughts and prepare to start his closed-door cultivation. Even though the Mini Entry-Level Elixir was inferior to the Spirit Summoning Elixir, it was still enough to improve Fang Jinyu's cultivation base to rank 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage!
"There's still a month before the opening of the Lingdu Secret Realm. I should be able to break through before it." As a person who was good at taking advantage, Fang Jinyu was confident in his abilities.
However, he still had one more thing to do before he started his closed-door cultivation.
He strolled to the outside of the alchemy room. Fang Jinyu could sense the little girl's location without using his spiritual will since it was a feeling that originated from his fortune-telling technique.
When Fang Jinyu went over, he saw the little girl surrounded by a few Qi Condensation stage disciples.
The little girl was delighted.
However, when the Qi Condensation stage disciples saw Fang Jinyu, they quickly bowed and left.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular." Fang Jinyu could not help but say.
However, his words earned him the little girl's eye roll.
"Are you stupid? You, Fang Jinyu, now have the potential to become a Holy Alchemist. Why do you think they will like me? It's clearly because of you. They're just trying to curry favor with you indirectly." This little girl looked at him as if he was an idiot.
Fang Jinyu wasn't angry since he was used to it. He believed it was because his considerate greetings from the other day had been deeply rooted in the little girl's heart. It caused her to talk sarcastically to him after they had gotten to know each other.
Besides, it was because a temporary aura surged out of the little girl's body when she was angry.
Although the aura immediately disappeared, Fang Jinyu had coincidentally experienced it three times!
When fighting the scammers of the dark market, Fang Jinyu purposefully used the storm-borrowing technique of the storm-raging technique. Fang Jinyu experienced the aura when the fight attracted the three Core Formation stage cultivators!
Therefore, if he was right, the little girl was a Core Formation stage cultivator who had an accident…
While Fang Jinyu was lamenting the unpredictability of the fortune-telling technique, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Even if there was an accident, the little girl was still a Core Formation stage cultivator!
Hence, wouldn't he be able to ride her coattails if she recovered?
Of course, if he had broken through the Core Formation stage by then and the little girl had just recovered, he would pretend that he never said such a thing…

Dare to Play a Little Trick, and Even Dare to Go Overboard!
Fang Jinyu was sure of it because he remembered that the female lead, Su Yier, had an old bootlicker… An aged Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster who liked Su Yier had repeatedly warned her to be aware of a few things before she broke through the Nascent Soul stage. One of the warnings stated that if anything went wrong during the formation of the nascent soul and the breaking of one's core, one's nascent soul would escape and be split from the body. The worst case would be being directly reincarnated.
Although there was a problem with breaking the core to form the nascent soul, which would cause one to be unable to break through the Nascent Soul stage, one would still consider achieving the stage. Thus, heaven and earth would give cultivators who had reached such a stage three chances.
...
In other words, one could reincarnate three times.
The little girl in front of him looked like she had reincarnated after her core was broken when forming her nascent soul.
Fang Jinyu didn't have much to tell her. He only brought her back to Mount Xiaohe and taught her how to control the array outside the immortal estate. After that, he started his closed-door cultivation.
He had resided in his immortal estate for some time even though he had left Mount Xiaohe. Hence, he naturally would not abandon it.
Hence, Fang Jinyu had spent thousands of spirit stones to form an array.
It was called the mountain formation.
It used the power of the mountain to form a defense array, and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could only break it.
The array just required enough spirit stones for maintenance. It didn't need the cultivator to use its inner energy to maintain the array. Hence, even mortals could use the formation.
According to Fang Jinyu's knowledge, such arrays would be used in the mortal world's imperial court, the residences of high officials, and the homes of aristocratic families.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu started his closed-door cultivation.
Back then, Fang Jinyu had never had the chance to try cultivating with the help of elixirs. However, he could finally experience the joy of cultivation after taking one elixir after another.
At the same time, he finally understood why the prices of the elixirs were so high.
Aside from hot sales, the elixirs' demand outstripped supply. The fundamental reason was that the cultivation base was the foundation of a cultivator! Although a good spirit tool was indeed powerful, would it help one's cultivation?
Cultivators often had to cultivate for a long time. However, the lifespan of a cultivator was limited. A cultivator's primary goal should be to increase its cultivation base significantly.
Half a month later, Fang Jinyu ended his closed-door cultivation.
Fang Jinyu had broken through rank 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage much earlier than he expected. His cultivation base wasn't high among the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. However, it was considered a good result for a cultivator of his age without any background.
Many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators without any background could only break through to rank 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage in their seventies.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu sold a portion of the remaining Mini Entry-Level Elixir for spirit stones and gave the others to the Tianling Sect for merit points.
It was because those who wanted to borrow the prescription of a Foundation Establishment stage elixir and the corresponding right to exchange for spirit herbs had to do so in batches.
Fang Jinyu had only received the most basic of authorities.
It was also why Fang Jinyu didn't refine the better Spirit Summoning Elixir but instead refined the Mini Entry-Level Elixir, which was only suitable for the cultivators who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage. If Fang Jinyu wanted to refine the Spirit Summoning Elixir, he would have to increase the success rate of refining several pills similar to the Mini Entry-Level Elixir to 30%!
In other words, he had to become a standard Foundation Establishment Stage Alchemist.
After all, it was the fundamental reason why the Tianling Sect encouraged their disciples to cultivate alchemical skills and provided them with all kinds of conveniences and benefits!
Fang Jinyu exchanged some merit points because the spirit herbs needed to refine elixirs, like the Spirit Summoning Elixir, could only be exchanged for merit points.
In addition, cultivators who ranked 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage could only cultivate the great divine powers of the supreme wind-thunder scripture. The merit points could exchange most of the spiritual items required to cultivate the power.
As for the remaining items that he could not exchange for, Fang Jinyu was prepared to search for them in the Lingdu Secret Realm.
Half a month passed by quickly. Fang Jinyu had been waiting for the day of the opening of the Lingdu Secret Realm. He could not help but have a complicated feeling. The chance of entering the Lingdu Secret Realm had nearly killed him back then. But now, although he had indirectly offended a lovesick Core Formation stage cultivator, the other party couldn't do anything to him as long as he stayed in the Tianling Sect.
Nobody dared to disobey the rules set by the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster.
When the sect leader summoned him, Fang Jinyu took the opportunity to ask and received an expected answer.
Moreover, the sect leader had also hinted that the Grandmaster wasn't in charge of the sect. The Grandmaster never interfered with the sect's management, was more easy-going, and did not put on any airs. He would even provide a few small opportunities to the Qi Condensation stage disciples when he was happy. However, there was a premise—disciples must not violate the rules set by the Grandmaster!
It involved an incident when the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was young, but the sect master didn't talk much about it.
Perhaps the sect master didn't know about the incident, or he didn't dare to say it.
The opening and closing of the Lingdu Secret Realm happened on the same day, so Fang Jinyu didn't have to prepare anything. Fang Jinyu arrived early without concealing his cultivation base. Then he activated the Discipline Pearl.
The Lingdu Secret Realm was located in the middle of two mountain peaks. Usually, nothing could be seen there. It was said that a Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had accidentally obtained a magical item there and then built it up.
There were only a few people here at the moment. There were only three of them, and he knew two by chance.
It was because they were like the former Fang Jinyu. Their parents sacrificed themselves for the Tianling Sect.
However, the two were also different from the former Fang Jinyu. They both had some background in the sect. One married into an aristocratic family, and the other married a woman from an aristocratic family.
Because they both had Core Formation stage cultivators, the two aristocratic families were out of the ordinary.
Seeing that it was someone the former Fang Jinyu knew, Fang Jinyu thought about it and felt it would be rude not to greet them. Hence, he approached them and cupped his fists, saying, "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Sister Xu."
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Fang." However, the two of them were shocked and quickly greeted him.
Although the two had the support of their noble family background, they didn't dare be arrogant toward a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator since they were just ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage unless they were the direct descendants of the aristocratic family.
"Please don't be so polite. Since we've known each other for seven or eight years, although we can't be considered playmates since childhood, we can still be considered friends, right?" Fang Jinyu said.
After all, it was easy to use polite words.
"In that case, we will call you Brother Fang. You will call us Junior Brother and Junior Sister, alright?" Xu Tingyu's eyes turned as she spoke gently.
Fang Jinyu didn't mind and said, "Alright!"
Seeing Fang Jinyu nod his head, Xu Tingyu could not help but reveal a look of joy. Then she asked, "Brother Fang, I heard you understood the storm raging technique and accumulated your inner energy to break through?"
They all knew the former Fang Jinyu had been rewarded with a high-tier magic spell. Moreover, the difference in inner energy between peers was clear once they showed their techniques.
The inner energy cultivated by the high-tier magic spell was undoubtedly better than the inner energy cultivated by low-tier magic spell.
Xu Tingyu's question piqued Zhang Wenye's interest. However, he remained silent and only looked at Fang Jinyu.
"You're right. I'm not exaggerating, but nobody in the sect understands the Qi Condensation stage storm raging technique as I do." By facing the two pairs of probing eyes, Fang Jinyu feigned arrogance. He intended to do it since there were rumors of such a breakthrough method, but it was only in the talks!
Fang Jinyu had done it to avoid unnecessary trouble and wanted to see if he could steal some of the opportunities. It had nothing to do with Su Yier, but it was closely related to her crazy master!
Fang Jinyu didn't dare take revenge publicly. A cultivator ranked 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage would be courageous and stupid to go against a Core Formation stage cultivator.
However, Fang Jinyu dared to play a little trick, and he even dared to go overboard!

How a Cannon Fodder Slurs the Main Character
However, more specifically, the opportunity was more like helping the enemy.
Since it was a long story, let's make it short.
...
In the Nine Desolations, there was a group of enemies that the current cultivators ignored.
Nine Desolations' old enemies were all in the Nascent Soul stage!
However, the group of Nascent Soul stage enemies was inferior to the strength of the authentic Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Nine Desolations. It was the price they had to pay for their longevity.
There would always be a few outstanding enemies who could possess powerful strength and guarantee their longevity.
One of them was an ancient cultivator named Wu Yuan.
The ancient cultivator was an old woman who had lived for more than 5000 years. She was one of the top enemies of the Nine Desolations. At the same time, she was also a part of living history. She had personally witnessed the leaps and bounds in the Nine Desolations.
However, although Wu Yuan had lived for a long time, something still happened to her.
One day, she mysteriously disappeared.
Her descendant had come to the Nine Desolations to look for her, and she had been found. However, Wu Yuan was in bad condition. Although she could barely keep her consciousness clear, her strength rapidly increased. She regained the strength she used to have in the authentic Nascent Soul stage!
It wasn't good for Wu Yuan to recover her strength since she had already abandoned the Immortal Dao. Once she recovered the cultivation base of her former peak, it would be the moment she would suffer the wrath of heaven and be reduced to ashes.
Thus, the descendants of Wu Yuan started a plan to save their Grandmaster.
Fang Jinyu had yet to learn about the exact plan since it wasn't written in the book. He only remembered that it was related to the Tianling Sect's high-tier storm raging technique, and the descendants of Wu Yuan had succeeded!
Hence, Wu Yuan gave a magical item of heaven and earth to Su Yier's lovesick master.
Although Su Yier's master was a sword cultivator, he had started his cultivation with the storm raging technique. He had even almost managed to break through all the bottlenecks with the storm raging technique and accumulate his inner energy to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.
It was the method Fang Jinyu had used to break through.
However, in the end, Su Yier's master chose to rely on the Foundation Establishment Elixir. Due to his family's situation, his parents had already prepared a bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir for him.
Hence, in terms of understanding the Qi Condensation stage chapter of the storm raging technique, Su Yier's master was ranked first in the Tianling Sect.
Now, of course, it was Fang Jinyu.
The magical item Wu Yuan had given Su Yier's master had a common name–Gold Core Elixir.
However, it was not an ordinary item.
When the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators consumed it, they could at least form a grade three golden core without being restricted by their spiritual roots! Cultivators who consumed it during the Core Formation stage avoided the agony of splitting their nascent soul from their body when breaking their core to form their nascent soul. They could retain all their memories, even if they were unlucky and needed to be reincarnated.
However, if the Nascent Soul stage cultivators consumed it, they wouldn't experience such a miraculous effect. It could only help reduce three hundred years of cultivation and increase one's cultivation base by one level.
Fang Jinyu was naturally hoping to get the Gold Core Elixir. After all, it looked like too much of a bug. In the future, the female lead, Su Yier, would form her grade one golden core with the help of the Gold Core Elixir.
At that time, Wu Yuan gave the Gold Core Elixir to Su Yier's master. However, he gave it to Su Yier in the blink of an eye.
After Xu Tingyu expressed her interest and complimented him, Fang Jinyu talked about how he came to understand the storm raging technique. Fang Jinyu felt that Xu Tingyu became more charming and developed a layer of worldly wisdom after she got married. Fang Jinyu wasn't interested in other people's wives. He just wanted to use the opportunity to spread his breakthrough method.
Many people knew about it, but that was only limited to the area around Mount Xiaohe and the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li."
Zhang Wenye was impressed and said, "After hearing Brother Fang's words, I know you have an outstanding talent. Although I've only heard of the storm raging technique and have never seen it with my own eyes, your words have allowed me to draw parallels from it and understand a few mistakes in my cultivation. I dare to say that you understand the storm raging technique's Qi Condensation stage chapter best!"
Xu Tingyu stood to the side and couldn't help but nod in agreement. Fang Jinyu detailed the process of breaking through from the Qi Condensation stage to the Foundation Establishment stage. Although she couldn't break through without the help of elixirs like Fang Jinyu, she could definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment stage after she understood his words and consumed a Foundation Establishment Elixir!
"The person with the most profound understanding of the storm raging technique is my master!" However, someone said it with an unpleasant tone.
Fang Jinyu turned to look.
Afterward, he saw a delicate young girl who looked as pure as a little white flower. Meanwhile, the young girl showed an innocent expression. When she saw Fang Jinyu look at her, she seemed frightened and took three steps back. Then, in a soft, weak voice, she said, "Martial Uncle, I'm just expressing my opinion. Please don't look at me with such a scary expression. I didn't do anything wrong."
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
Fang Jinyu thought, "Did I inexplicably become a great villain in just a few words?"
"Wait a minute!"
Fang Jinyu quivered and thought, "She looks as innocent as a little white flower and speaks like an angelic bitch…."
"Is she Su Yier?"
Suddenly, Fang Jinyu saw a young man standing before the young girl. He looked at Fang Jinyu with a cold expression and said, "You apologize."
Fang Jinyu was speechless again.
Fang Jinyu thought, "What's with the sense of déjà vu of a bossy president?"
"Also, why should I apologize?"
Meanwhile, the young girl suddenly pulled the young man and said panicky, "Senior Brother Qin, it's alright. It's my fault and has nothing to do with this Martial Uncle."
Once again, Fang Jinyu was speechless.
Fang Jinyu had never been so speechless as he was today, not even when facing the little girl.
"I said, I want you to apologize. Don't you understand human language?"
However, everything would be fine if the young girl didn't say anything. The young man immediately changed his expression when she did. His gaze was cold, and it seemed like a shadowy aura was passing by. Afterward, he said coldly, "Although you're a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and I'm only a cultivator who ranks 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, I'll soon break through the Foundation Establishment stage. So, please accept my battle invitation when that time comes! Junior Sister Su, let's go!"
When he said the last sentence, the young man's voice abruptly softened as though he were someone else.
Fang Jinyu was speechless again.
Another neurotic, lovesick bootlicker appeared.
However, he could confirm that the angelic bitch was Su Yier! Other than Su Yier, there wouldn't be so many neurotic, lovesick bootlickers around the others.
"Come to think of it. Lu Shaojun is considered half of Su Yier's man. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together…."
Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart before turning to look at Xu Tingyu and Zhang Wenye. Then he could only see that the two of them were also in a daze.
Su Yier and her cool senior brother clearly shocked the two normal cultivators, as was clear from their expressions.
"Which family's direct line of descent are they?" Zhang Wenye could not help but ask. In his opinion, only a direct descendant of a noble family would dare be arrogant toward a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
"The family of Mack Mama and her bootlickers," Fang Jinyu said.

Nurtured by Heaven and Earth
Xu Tingyu and Zhang Wenye would definitely not believe Fang Jinyu's words, but they felt he disliked them. Hence, they smiled and changed the topic.
As they conversed, the number of people who arrived gradually increased.
...
It was because it was almost time for the Lingdu Secret Realm to open.
Meanwhile, as a rumble of thunder sounded, a door with a fantasy look appeared in front of everyone.
A beam of light descended. It was a Core Formation stage cultivator.
The Core Formation stage cultivator said, "You all can go in one by one. The landing points are random. You don't have to walk with someone you know. As for the rules, I believe you all know you can't harm your fellow disciples. Moreover, all the opportunities depend on your luck and following the rules of 'First come, first served.' You can't snatch other people's opportunity."
When Fang Jinyu heard the voice, he realized it was rather familiar. It was the same person who asked the other Core Formation stage cultivator to avoid suspicion on the day of the scam of the dark market!
Meanwhile, Zhang Wenye, beside Fang Jinyu, couldn't help but whisper excitedly, "So the opportunity belongs to whoever arrives first! I've once heard about it, but I thought it was just a rumor."
Before Zhang Wenye joined the Tianling Sect, he had been a rogue cultivator for a year. Fang Jinyu had once heard him mention that the law of the jungle prevailed among rogue cultivators, and whoever was more powerful was the one in the right.
The weak were constantly bullied by the strong.
That was why many rogue cultivators only cared about personal strength and ignored the fact that the cultivation base was the foundation.
Therefore, there was an interesting fact about the Qi Condensation stage. The Qi Condensation stage rogue cultivators would always have better talisman tools than the Qi Condensation stage disciples!
For example, when the former Fang Jinyu was at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, he only had a middle-tier talisman tool. However, rogue cultivators who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage would have high-tier talisman tools, and their talisman tools even had half of the power of a spirit tool!
It was because ordinary disciples of sects like the former Fang Jinyu would buy elixirs to improve their cultivation base when they had spirit stones. Therefore, when they wanted to purchase talisman tools, they often faced the dilemma of not having enough spirit stones. Only those stuck at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage for years would gradually change their talisman tools to high-tier ones.
"Senior Brother Zhang, do you have the map of the Lingdu Secret Realm?" Upon hearing Zhang Wenye's words, Xu Tingyu could not help but roll her eyes and ask.
Since Xu Tingyu was more familiar with Zhang Wenye, they were more casual with each other.
"There's a map of the Lingdu Secret Realm? Why haven't I seen it before?" Zhang Wenye was stunned for a moment. He was shocked.
Xu Tingyu said, "It's because it's something that people wrote down from their memory after exploring the Lingdu Secret Realm."
Zhang Wenye understood the meaning behind Xu Tingyu's words. He could only smile helplessly.
Since they had no foundation, they could only be inferior to the others.
Although the rules of the Lingdu Secret Realm seemed to reduce disputes and treat everyone fairly, it benefited the direct descendants of the cultivation clans.
However, Fang Jinyu was an exception.
After reading the book, he memorized all the important places in the Lingdu Secret Realm. Moreover, he had specially brought a unique talisman tool for today's trip.
It was a middle-tier talisman tool left behind by the former Fang Jinyu.
There was nothing special about it. It could only slow down people within a specific range and make them retreat 500 steps.
By having the talisman, Fang Jinyu could guarantee that the disciples of the Tianling Sect had a huge misunderstanding of the honest character of the former Fang Jinyu.
If the former Fang Jinyu was honest, why would he go to an Immortal City a hundred miles away and hire someone to forge such a talisman tool to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm?
Fang Jinyu was also preparing to enter.
However, the Core Formation stage cultivator stopped him because he was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
Thus, Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and said, "I, Fang Jinyu, have naturally broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage after understanding the magic spells and techniques. I once requested the sect leader to let me give up the chance. However, the sect leader knows it isn't easy for disciples to cultivate, so he allowed me to enter after receiving a Discipline Pearl."
As he spoke, Fang Jinyu showed the Discipline Pearl, which had already been activated.
"Oh, since that's the case, you may enter!" The Core Formation stage cultivator was confused with the situation. In the past, when such a situation occurred, the sect leader would let the disciple give up the chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. However, since the sect leader wouldn't make sloppy decisions, he didn't say anything and just let him go.
Fang Jinyu stepped through the door. Zhang Wenye and Xu Tingyu, following behind him, suddenly looked enlightened.
The two had been wondering why Fang Jinyu had come to the Lingdu Secret Realm even though he had already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage. However, since they were only ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage and didn't have the right to ask, they tacitly didn't mention it.
After passing through the mysterious door, Fang Jinyu didn't feel dizzy or uncomfortable. He looked into the distance and realized the sky was within reach. Moreover, the surrounding mountains looked flat for some reason.
"Is it a little heaven and earth?"
Fang Jinyu pondered for a moment, then took out a spirit tool and flew into the air.
After a while, Fang Jinyu found a spirit item he needed to cultivate his great divine powers. However, he wasn't excited about it. His eyes darted around, looking for a reference to figure out where he was.
Luckily, his efforts were not in vain. Soon, Fang Jinyu discovered which part he was in the Lingdu Secret Realm!
"Such a coincidence?"
Fang Jinyu was slightly excited because he was now near where Su Yier, the female lead, couldn't obtain the one treasure out of the three from the Lingdu Secret Realm.
Without any hesitation, Fang Jinyu quickly followed the clues in his memory.
Since he could fly, it was naturally more accessible for him to search around.
Thus, after an hour, Fang Jinyu found a peculiar pool.
"It should be here!"
Fang Jinyu waved his hand toward the pond and cast a stream of inner energy. However, it didn't cause a splash, and his magic power disappeared.
Fang Jinyu immediately flew in.
The pool was indeed an illusion. After Fang Jinyu passed through it, he came to a dilapidated temple. The temple was empty, but a striking stone orb was in the center.
It was because it had a similar aura to a Core Formation stage cultivator.
"A magic treasure!"
Fang Jinyu quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to use his inner energy. Soon, the stone orb fell into his hand. However, when he tried to use his inner energy to activate it, the stone orb didn't move at all. Instead, it even rejected his inner energy.
"This is a magic treasure formed by the heavens and earth. It doesn't reject me, but since I haven't refined it, I can't activate it. Hence, it is just like an ornament, but it will cause me trouble."
Fang Jinyu was well aware of the details of the magic treasure.
Fang Jinyu immediately raised his hand and cast a spell. As he chanted, he reduced half of his inner energy. However, the stone orb also concealed its aura and hid inside Fang Jinyu's body.
The stone orb hidden inside Fang Jinyu's body wasn't because he had refined it. It was because he had agreed with the magic treasure that if he couldn't refine it within three years, the stone orb could leave on its own.

You Have to Obey Even if You Don't
Speaking of which, Fang Jinyu learned how to bind a contract with a magic treasure from Su Yier.
According to the book, which shortly appeared, Su Yier's inner energy growth was slow due to her lack of talent during the beginning stage of cultivation. Hence, she started to study Miscellaneous Studies, such as the four arts, and she found some similarities between the common spells related to the four arts.
...
The similarity was the method of communicating with magic treasures and establishing contracts!
When Fang Jinyu knew the method, he couldn't help but sigh the luck of the "lucky star." Su Yier was in such good luck that it made people helpless.
Fang Jinyu copied Su Yier's method to form a contract with the magic treasure.
After all, the spells of the four arts didn't have any combat power and were only used to mold one's personality. Therefore, almost all cultivators in the Tianling Sect knew how to use them.
It was because cultivators could make their originally clumsy painting, calligraphy, zither, or chess skills temporarily reach the level of an expert with just a little magical power. It could greatly satisfy one's soul shortly, and it was beneficial to relieve the depression caused by the boring cultivation.
And now, Fang Jinyu had successfully obtained a magic treasure he had longed for. Naturally, he couldn't hide his joy.
Then, he started to search for spirit items in the vicinity.
He remembered that there must be many spirit items around the place that nurtured magic treasures. Once the magic treasure was formed, there wouldn't be high-tier spirit items around it because the magic treasure had taken away the spiritual opportunity.
However, it wasn't a problem for Fang Jinyu.
After all, Fang Jinyu was only a cultivator who ranked 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage so he could use any low-tier spirit items. Many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators consumed elixirs made of ten-year spirit herbs.
In a land of immortal cultivation like the Nine Desolations, the spirit herbs cultivators needed to concoct elixirs were not as outrageous as using thousand-year spirit herbs since the spirit herbs weren't having a longevity competition with cultivators.
For example, the Qi Condensation stage elixirs' ingredients were spirit herbs cultivated for only a few years. The main ingredients were usually cultivated for 20 to 30 years.
It was related to the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Although the Nine Desolations didn't have spiritual veins, it had thin spiritual energy, allowing the Qi Condensation stage to improve their magic power slowly.
Fang Jinyu had specially prepared five spirit-tier Hundred-Treasure Boxes for the trip to the Lingdu Secret Realm. The Hundred-Treasure Boxes had different sizes and capacities.
The reason why he prepared so many Hundred-Treasure Boxes was that there were different types of spirit items.
The green Hundred-Treasure Box could reduce the loss of medicinal properties of spirit herbs. The purple Hundred-Treasure Box could reduce the weight of heavy items stored inside, such as spirit stones would be extremely light after being stored inside. Even if 50000 spirit stones were stuffed into the purple Hundred-Treasure Box, it would still be as light as a feather.
Apart from that, the white Hundred-Treasure Box was used to store some sorcery attribute spirit items.
After Fang Jinyu's search, the Hundred-Treasure Boxes had filled up quite a bit. One-tenth of the white Hundred-Treasure Box's capacity had been occupied.
"It seems like the stone orb is one of the sorcery attribute magic treasures."
Fang Jinyu felt regret as wind and thunder-attribute magic treasure suited him more. However, magic treasures were nurtured by the heavens and earth, so there was nothing for him to be picky about. Many Core Formation stage cultivators didn't even have a magic treasure and could only use supreme-tier spirit tools.
Then, he used his spirit tool and rose into the air again.
However, Fang Jinyu looked at the mountain wall in front of him strangely as soon as he flew. The mountain wall was like Mount Buzhou in ancient times. It was high into the sky as if connected to heaven and earth. Even so, the reason Fang Jinyu felt strange wasn't because of the mountain wall's magnificence.
"Is this the location of one of the two magic treasures Su Yier will obtain? The magic treasure called the Green Phoenix Scissors? Is it so close to the location of the stone orb?"
Fang Jinyu was taken aback but quickly retracted his magical power and descended.
After Fang Jinyu landed, he immediately started searching.
Soon, Fang Jinyu found a strange tree. After he circled it three times to the left and then three times to the right, a mysterious door opened again. Fang Jinyu was overjoyed and quickly stepped in.
He seemed to be somewhere with beautiful mountains and crystal waters this time. Two phoenixes were dancing in the air, appearing green and red.
When Fang Jinyu was about to step forward, he felt an invisible resistance.
He raised his head and saw the two phoenixes stop flying in the air and stare at him coldly.
"Do they disavow me?"
"The magic treasure is spiritual?"
Fang Jinyu pondered for a moment before he understood the situation. He then stretched out his hand and cast a spell. He chanted another incantation, and his inner energy was instantly reduced by half. Afterward, even though the two phoenixes disavowed Fang Jinyu, they could only obediently join together, turn into a pair of scissors, and fall into his hands.
Fang Jinyu clasped his hands together, and the Green Phoenix Scissors disappeared. It was hidden within Fang Jinyu's body, just like the stone orb.
"Su Yier has discovered a good method."
Fang Jinyu couldn't help but praise. No matter how the magic treasure disavowed him, it had to obey him!
Afterward, he prepared to search the nearby spirit items as he had done before. However, an invisible wave of light appeared at that moment. In Fang Jinyu's daze, he had already left the Lingdu Secret Realm.
Looking around at the familiar scene, Fang Jinyu could not help but be stunned. He thought, "Why am I out here?"
Suddenly, Fang Jinyu thought of Su Yier. The book claimed she left the Lingdu Secret Realm after obtaining two magic treasures.
"Could it be a hidden mechanism of the Lingdu Secret Realm, where one has to be sent out after obtaining two magic treasures?"
Meanwhile, a white bird flew over.
When it arrived in front of him, it suddenly spoke in human language, "You may come to Mount Guiwang."
Fang Jinyu was shocked because the voice of the white bird belonged to the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster.
Fang Jinyu didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately took out his spirit tool and flew into the air.
Mount Guiwang was where the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters were cultivated. However, there weren't many inner disciples at the peak. There were only puppet monsters in charge of operating the barriers around the peak, and occasionally, they would also welcome guests.
Even though nobody was at Mount Guiwang, it wasn't a deserted place. There were all sorts of spirit beasts, and Fang Jinyu even saw two familiar black spirit pigs.
When Fang Jinyu looked over, the two black spirit pigs also saw him and took the initiative to approach him. One spoke in human language, "It's you, kiddo. Not bad! I haven't seen you for a while, and you've already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage."
The king of black spirit pigs was a Core Formation stage cultivator, but there were two other Core Formation stage black spirit pigs under its command.
"Greetings, seniors!"
Fang Jinyu quickly cupped his fists. Although the two black spirit pigs were mutants, they were genuine Core Formation stage cultivators on equal footing with the great Core Formation stage cultivator.
"Alright, alright, you can go meet the Grandmaster now! We won't bother you anymore!" The two black spirit pigs nodded in acknowledgment and left.

The Former Protagonist
Along the way, be it spirit beasts or puppet monsters, they seemed to have been instructed not to stop Fang Jinyu, allowing him to reach the peak smoothly.
"Disciple Fang Jinyu pays respects to Grandmaster!"
...
"You may come in!" The scene at the peak changed when someone spoke. Then, a floating island appeared in the clouds.
The cloud formed a flight of stairs, and Fang Jinyu quickly walked up. When he reached the floating island, he saw the young man he had seen the other day. Like the last time, he had his hands behind his back and faced his back at Fang Jinyu.
"You're really lucky!"
The young man turned around and looked at Fang Jinyu strangely. Then, with a wave of his hand, Fang Jinyu's Discipline Pearl flew out.
Fang Jinyu saw the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster clear all the records on the Discipline Pearl with a wave of his hand. Afterward, he threw it back to Fang Jinyu.
"Thank you very much, Grandmaster!" Fang Jinyu quickly expressed his gratitude.
"I have a Dark-Lightning Spirit Pearl. If you can accumulate 10000 merit points within three years, you can take it from me." Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster took out the Dark-Lightning Spirit Pearl that flickered with lightning.
"Thank you for your help, Grandmaster," Fang Jinyu replied.
"Since you have such luck, then it's your fortune. However, as for the other treasure, you have to find a way yourself. Although your cultivation base is low, the wind and fire attribute spirit pearls are not rare." As the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster spoke, he waved his sleeve.
In a daze, Fang Jinyu found himself at the foot of Mount Guiwang.
While lamenting how the inner energy of Nascent Soul stage cultivators was truly unfathomable, Fang Jinyu could not help but ridicule, "Spirit pearls are indeed not rare items to Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and could even be said to be easily obtainable, but I am a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"
"It turns out that the stone orb is a sorcery attribute item…." Fang Jinyu was happy while thinking about it. After all, he now had dual spiritual roots, which were wind and lightning attributed. He could refine the stone orb as long as he obtained the Dark-Lightning Spirit Pearl.
At that time, not only would he obtain luck, but he would also be able to use a portion of the power of the magic treasure!
Hence, Fang Jinyu returned to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li".
After all, the easiest way to obtain merit points was to offer elixirs to the sect. An elixir for cultivators who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage, such as the Mini Entry-Level Elixir, could earn 50 merit points. As for the Spirit Summoning Elixir, it could directly earn him 200 merit points.
Although 10000 merit points seemed hard to obtain, Fang Jinyu would only need half a year to gather them!
However, at this moment, with the appearance of the familiar aura of the Core Formation stage cultivators, Fang Jinyu heard someone shout.
"Hey, kid, wait for us!"
Fang Jinyu turned around and saw the two Core Formation stage black spirit pigs he had met before.
Fang Jinyu quickly cupped his fists and said, "Seniors, may I know what I can do for you?"
"It's not a big deal. You smell like spirit herbs, and I smell the fire from you. You must be an alchemist, right?" A black spirit pig came up to Fang Jinyu.
"You're right. However, I can only barely refine Foundation Establishment stage elixirs now."
"That's great. I have a few Foundation Establishment Fruits here. Help me refine ten Foundation Establishment Elixirs." As the black spirit pig spoke, it spat out a flowing light bubble. Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Fruits was inside the bubble.
Fang Jinyu could not help but be stunned. After all, the black spirit pig said there were only a few Foundation Establishment Fruits, but with a casual glance, he could tell that there were 20 to 30 fruits in the bubble.
Fang Jinyu said awkwardly, "I haven't learned how to refine Foundation Establishment Elixirs." The prescription for refining the Foundation Establishment Elixir was on the same tier as the Spirit Summoning Elixir.
"Here you go." The black spirit pig spat out another jade slip.
The two black pigs had come prepared, and Fang Jinyu was at a loss for what to do. He couldn't help but ask, "There are alchemists in the sect. Why you two seniors didn't ask for help from help?"
Another black pig snorted, "You look pleasing to the eye."
Fang Jinyu thought, "It turns out that it's a hidden benefit of cleaning feces for a month…."
Fang Jinyu nodded and cupped his fists. "Since the two seniors think highly of me, I will try my best to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir. I just don't know where to send it after refining it?"
"The Spirit Beasts Valley will do."
"I got it."
Fang Jinyu suppressed the excitement in his heart and quietly collected the Foundation Establishment Fruits. Then he bid the two black spirit pigs farewell.
After Fang Jinyu left, one of the black spirit pigs suddenly asked, "Other than this kid looking pleasing to the eye, there should be another reason, right? I didn't have time to ask you, but can you tell me now?"
The other black spirit pig answered, "It's nothing much. When I was gossiping with Mount Lingyao's stupid Foundation Establishment stage bird, I heard that this kid has the potential to become a Holy Alchemist. It turns out that I've kept the Foundation Establishment Fruits for more than a hundred years. If this kid succeeds in becoming a Holy Alchemist, we can improve our cultivation base by asking him to refine elixirs for us." The relationship between spirit beasts was usually good as long as they weren't each other's prey.
…
At the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li"…
"There are 35 Foundation Establishment Fruits in total." After Fang Jinyu counted, he couldn't help but be excited.
The Foundation Establishment Elixir could be considered a strategic resource for the sects. Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Fruits were basically monopolized by the various sects. However, the sects knew that it wasn't good to do it. Hence, they would let one-tenth of their Foundation Establishment Fruits circulate in the market.
It was also the only way for rogue cultivators to obtain Foundation Establishment Fruits.
Of course, wild Foundation Establishment Fruits would occasionally appear, but the chances were too small. It was because the Foundation Establishment Fruit had high requirements for spiritual energy in its growing area.
"One Foundation Establishment Fruit can make a furnace of Foundation Establishment Elixirs."
"Moreover, one Foundation Establishment Elixir can be exchanged for 500 merit points!"
Fang Jinyu immediately began to study the Foundation Establishment Elixir's prescription. Soon, a familiar text box appeared in front of him.
[Today is the day of inexplicably offending the former protagonist.]
[Refining the future opportunity of the former protagonist 1]
Although it was an opportunity, it was no longer an arrow but a countdown.
[3:23:59:59]
"A four-day countdown?" Fang Jinyu was stunned because the opportunity seemed to be easily obtained. Then, Fang Jinyu felt a chill go down his spine.
He remembered that Su Yier's opportunities seemed to be related to men!
"Please don't tell me…."
"Forget it. Nothing will happen if I don't go out!"
It was the only opportunity Fang Jinyu refused to obtain.
The prescription for the Foundation Establishment Elixir was way more difficult than the Mini Entry-Level Elixir. Fang Jinyu had looked at it for two days, mainly because he wanted to wait for the gains in "Understanding the Foundation Establishment Elixir" before he dared to start refining.
The key point in refining the Foundation Establishment Elixir was the Foundation Establishment Fruit. As for the other supplementary ingredients, they were all ordinary spirit herbs. He only needed ten-year spirit herbs.
Fang Jinyu had to pay for the supplementary ingredients himself.
Fang Jinyu didn't burn the furnace on his first try. Instead, he successfully refined the elixirs.
Fang Jinyu did a quick count. He had obtained seven elixirs on his first try.
However, Fang Jinyu failed to refine the elixirs on his second try, which was within his expectations. He continued to refine the elixirs, but he failed on his third and fourth try, which made him decide to rest for a while.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu looked at the Foundation Establishment Elixirs in his hand and suddenly thought of someone. Thus, he placed three pills in a small jade bottle, got up, and flew toward Mount Goddess on his spirit tool.

The Frivolous Junior Sister
Mount Goddess, as its name suggested, was named because the mountain looked like a shy young girl waiting. It was related to an ancient legend, but since the story was cliche, it was better not to mention it.
Compared to Mount Tianling, which was full sounds of trees swaying, Mount Goddess was filled with birds chirping and flowers' fragrance.
...
They were all essential ingredients for making the Blossom Dew.
Since Blossom Dew was a popular resource, two great Core Formation stage cultivators were in charge of Mount Goddess. Every year, 60% of the spirit stone income from selling the Blossom Dew was given to the two great Core Formation stage cultivators. As for the remaining 40%, 30% would be given to Mount Tianling, and 10% would be sent to Mount Guiwang.
Although the Grandmaster didn't need spirit stones, they had to give him some as a token of respect, right?
Moreover, the 10% that was sent to Mount Guiwang was actually only in name because it was Mount Goddess Qi Condensation stage disciples' salary.
Fang Jinyu arrived on his spirit tool, and the moment he landed at the foot of the mountain, two decent-looking disciples of Mount Goddess came forward to welcome him, "Greetings, Martial Uncle!"
Fang Jinyu put away his spirit tool and explained his purpose, "Junior Sisters, please help me to inform Junior Sister Xin that Fang Jinyu has come to visit."
A female disciple said hesitantly, "But there's no martial uncle with the surname Xin on Mount Goddess…" They were familiar with all Mount Goddess Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Fang Jinyu said, "Junior Sister Xin's name is Xin Qianqian. She hasn't broken through the Foundation Establishment stage yet."
"So it's Junior Sister Xin!" When the two female disciples heard it, they couldn't help but look at each other with a smile. Then, they said, "Martial Uncle, please go to the guest hall and wait for a moment because Junior Sister Xin's aunt has just come to see her."
"Alright," Fang Jinyu said.
Fang Jinyu nodded, and a female disciple led the way.
Actually, Fang Jinyu knew where the guest hall was and didn't need the female disciple to serve him. However, it was the rule of Mount Goddess. After all, he was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator so he couldn't be rude.
After arriving at the guest hall, Fang Jinyu waited a long time. The female disciple had filled three pots of Blossom Tea before he met Xin Qianqian, who had dressed up.
Xin Qianqian said shyly, "Senior Brother Fang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Fang Jinyu was not impatient because it was within his expectations. He knew Xin Qianqian didn't treat him as her senior, but she admired him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have called him "Senior Brother Fang" when she spoke.
According to the rules of the cultivation world, she should call him "Martial Uncle Fang"!
Fang Jinyu laughed and said, "In the past, I have only heard of the name Blossom Tea and have never tasted it. Thanks to Junior Sister Xin, I have finally tasted it today."
Drinking Blossom Tea could slightly increase the magic power of cultivators who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage. Although it was ineffective for Fang Jinyu, it is still a famous spiritual tea in the Qi Condensation stage cultivators.
The former Fang Jinyu had desired to have it.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu took out the jade bottle with the three Foundation Establishment Elixirs and handed it to Xin Qianqian.
"Junior Sister Xin, this is for you. It should be useful for your cultivation."
Although Xin Qianqian was born into a noble cultivation family, she was only a marginal figure in the Xin family. Therefore, she wasn't qualified to obtain an opportunity to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm.
If Xin Qianqian wanted a Foundation Establishment Elixir, she could only accumulate merit points like other ordinary disciples or try her luck in the immortal sect market.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang!" Xin Qianqian didn't even look at what was inside the jade bottle and happily accepted it. After all, in her opinion, as long as it was a gift from "Senior Brother Fang", she would like it even if it was the cheapest Qi Condensation Elixir!
It was the first time "Senior Brother Fang" had given her something.
"Fellow Daoist Fang"
Meanwhile, someone spoke.
Fang Jinyu looked over and saw a beautiful stranger.
Even though Fang Jinyu didn't know her, he could tell that her cultivation base was very high. Fang Jinyu could feel her aura with a cursory glance, and he could even sense a hint of power similar to a Core Formation stage cultivator.
She was ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage!
Fang Jinyu's heart trembled, and he quickly cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist."
Xin Qianqian immediately introduced, "Senior Brother Fang, this is my aunt. She was my mother's best friend when she was alive. She has always taken care of me."
The beautiful woman glanced at Xin Qianqian, who was "siding with an outsider," and sighed. She then nodded slightly at Fang Jinyu.
Although she was a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage and was going to break through the Core Formation stage, she was still in the same stage as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
Hence, she had to return the favor.
Otherwise, no matter how generous a person is, they would still be unhappy.
It would make it possible to make enemies for no reason.
Luo Yuling said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, you and I are of the same stage. Speaking of which, my husband used to be a disciple of the Tianling Sect. However, he returned to the Tujian Sect with the Grandmaster's permission and inherited the position of Tujian Sect Leader. So, if you don't mind, call me Senior Sister Luo."
"Senior Sister Luo."
Fang Jinyu readily accepted the advice. Meanwhile, he quickly searched his mind for information about the Tujian Sect.
It was a small immortal sect that used to have a Core Formation stage cultivator in charge, but it declined after an accident. However, it recently invited another Core Formation stage cultivator to take charge.
Suddenly, Luo Yuling said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, I know that you have the best relationship with Qianqian in the sect and usually take good care of her. How about we have an interchange?"
Fang Jinyu immediately understood what Luo Yuling meant. She was a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage. Still, she had taken the initiative to exchange cultivation experiences with him, a cultivator who ranked 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage. It was nothing more than to take care of him and repay the favor.
Even though Fang Jinyu had no idea why Luo Yuling wanted to return him a favor, he would be a bastard if he didn't take advantage of the situation, so Fang Jinyu naturally agreed.
He did have a cheat, but the cultivation experience of a high-level Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was of great help to him.
When Xin Qianqian heard her aunt's words, she couldn't help but frown. She could understand the meaning behind Luo Yuling's words. Luo Yuling wanted to use the chance to cut off the relationship between her and "Senior Brother Fang."
However, it wasn't appropriate for her to stop her aunt. After all, the interchange would benefit her "Senior Brother Fang."
Immediately, the three of them changed their location. The scenery around them was vast, but there were not many people. They were in a pavilion near the cliff on Mount Goddess.
The interchange began. Fang Jinyu listened attentively at first, but a moment later, he put forward several points to refute Luo Yuling's views.
Luo Yuling had specifically chosen to share her cultivation experience from the late-stage Qi Condensation stage to the early-stage Foundation Establishment stage to take care of Fang Jinyu.
However, how many people could compete with Fang Jinyu in such an aspect?
He had triple-element spirit roots and had broken through to the next stage without the help of a Foundation Establishment Elixir!
Luo Yuling frowned at first, but then she was shocked, and in the end, she felt unbelievable. In the end, Luo Yuling felt that listening to his words was better than studying for ten years in her heart.
Drawing parallels from her analogy allowed her to pass the Core Formation stage's entry point a little more.
Initially, she only had a 30% chance of success, but now she has a 40% chance!
"Aunt, I heard that Senior Brother Fang broke through naturally after understanding the storm raging technique. He didn't rely on the Foundation Establishment Elixir!" Seeing Luo Yuling was shocked, Xin Qianqian suddenly remembered a rumor she had heard. As she explained, she also glanced at Fang Jinyu for confirmation.
Fang Jinyu nodded, and Luo Yuling was rendered speechless. Meanwhile, she felt a sense of admiration.
"Junior Brother Fang is a genius!"
Luo Yuling couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Although there was indeed a saying about not relying on Foundation Establishment Elixirs to break through, very few cultivators could do so. It was because those with the talent were usually cultivators with a Tianling spiritual root!
Even without a Foundation Establishment Elixir, a Tianling spiritual root cultivator could break through directly.
It was because Tianling spiritual root cultivators wouldn't have bottlenecks in the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Senior Sister Luo, you're too kind. It's time for me to return since it's getting late." Seeing the sunset, Fang Jinyu stood up and took his leave. Since it was an ancient setting, he had to be careful of the distance between men and women. Otherwise, the Tianling Sect wouldn't have specially built a Mount Goddess for female disciples to cultivate.
Although Xin Qianqian had a lot to say to Fang Jinyu, she could only watch him leave.
It was because the two of them had yet to confirm their relationship.
Or maybe it was because Xin Qianqian was interested in Fang Jinyu, but Fang Jinyu wasn't interested in her.
Seeing that her niece was still looking at the horizon, Luo Yuling couldn't help but roll her eyes. She said, "Alright, alright. Your Senior Brother Fang has already gone far away. Are you prepared to stand here to wait for him to come over next time?"
Xin Qianqian's face blushed.
Luo Yuling joked, "Hurry up and look at what your Senior Brother Fang has given you."
Xin Qianqian answered, "Oh…." She was also curious, so she opened the small jade bottle from her bosom. Soon, a refreshing pill fragrance floated out.
Xin Qianqian's eyes immediately widened.
Since the smell of the Foundation Establishment fruit was fragrant, even after using it as the main ingredient to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir, the fragrance was still very strong!
Luo Yuling was also taken aback by the situation. Initially, she had wanted to cut off the relationship between her niece and Fang Jinyu for Xin Qianqian's sake.
Initially, she thought that an ordinary immortal sect disciple like Fang Jinyu wouldn't be able to give her niece the Foundation Establishment Elixir she needed.
Hence, she wanted Xin Qianqian to get in touch with a direct descendant of a noble cultivation family. After all, the other party's engagement gift was a Foundation Establishment Elixir.
As long as the marriage was set, Xin Qianqian would be able to suffer less. Furthermore, she might even be able to break through the Core Formation stage because she had broken through the Foundation Establishment stage earlier!
"Aunt, it is the Foundation Establishment…"
"Shush!" Luo Yuling immediately changed her expression and covered Xin Qianqian's mouth with her hand. She glared at Xin Qianqian and said, "Don't you know that this thing can kill you? Someone may be listening on the other side of the wall!"
Xin Qianqian nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, "I know. We shouldn't reveal our wealth, right?" Soon, she couldn't help but continue, "Aunt, there are three elixirs inside."
"How much?!" Luo Yuling was stunned because she thought there was only one. After all, the Foundation Establishment Elixir was too precious. She had heard that some people had given Foundation Establishment Elixirs as gifts, but they had only given one.
Xin Qianqian deliberately asked smilingly, "Hehe, aunt, I don't have to see that Young Master Liu anymore, right?"
"Of course not!" Luo Yuling rolled her eyes at her.
If Fang Jinyu were still around, he would have immediately considered that the Young Master Liu they had mentioned was Su Yier's bootlicker who caused Xin Qianqian's tragic death after being abandoned by Su Yier.

How Do Pigs Laugh
[Today is a day of working hard to understand the Foundation Establishment Elixir's prescription with no gains.]
[Refined understanding of the refining of Foundation Establishment Elixir 1]
...
Suddenly, Fang Jinyu was inspired by something and understood the key point of the Foundation Establishment Elixir. He opened the alchemy furnace with tacit understanding.
With the same procedure in refining elixirs, Fang Jinyu immediately put off the fire after the unique fragrance of the Foundation Establishment Elixir wafted through the air.
He opened the alchemy furnace and saw that 13 pills had been formed.
Fang Jinyu split the elixirs into two jade bottles and continued to refine elixirs. He successfully refined three furnaces of elixirs in a row, and each furnace produced more than ten elixirs. Fang Jinyu stopped the day's elixir refining after a problem occurred while refining the fourth batch of elixir.
It was because he had used up too much energy on the day, which caused him to fail to control the fire in the last batch of elixir refining and failed to refine elixirs.
"I've obtained 47 elixirs!" After Fang Jinyu counted the elixirs he had refined, he was naturally satisfied.
Not only did he complete the task the two black spirit pigs gave, but the rest of the elixirs were also his. It was enough for him to exchange for 10000 merit points.
Thus, Fang Jinyu looked at the text box in his field of vision.
[0:22:00:00]
"Since there are still 22 hours left, I have enough time." Fang Jinyu planned to send ten Foundation Establishment Elixirs to the Spirit Beasts Valley and use the other 20 elixirs to exchange for the Dark-Lightning Spirit Pearl. Afterward, he would start his closed-door cultivation to refine the stone orb magic treasure to avoid the godforsaken opportunity.
However, when Fang Jinyu was about to deliver the Foundation Establishment Elixirs to the Spirit Beasts Valley, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to send ten more elixirs.
Since his character was a "kind and honest man."
As Fang Jinyu had once stayed in the Spirit Beasts Valley for a month, most black spirit pigs were familiar with him. He met a Foundation Establishment stage black spirit pig and told it his intention. Although the black spirit pig couldn't speak, it could understand what Fang Jinyu was saying. Thus, it led him to meet its king.
It was a black spirit pig with a size as huge as a hill. Its eyes shone with a golden light, and even though it had tried its best to restrain its aura, it still gave Fang Jinyu a great sense of oppression.
"Disciple Fang Jinyu greets Senior. Previously, two seniors had asked me to refine a furnace of Foundation Establishment Elixirs, and I have already finished refining it." Fang Jinyu took out two jade bottles.
"You're an alchemist?" The king of black spirit pigs asked. Its voice was like a man speaking gently. If one only heard his voice without seeing its appearance, one would think he was an elegant young master.
One would think he was an extremely handsome and powerful young master that other people couldn't compare with him!
"I can barely be considered one."
The king of black spirit pigs nodded slightly. Then, he looked inside the jade bottle and asked in surprise, "There are 20 Foundation Establishment Elixirs inside?"
The king of black spirit pigs was slightly surprised.
The king of black spirit pigs knew there were black spirit pigs asking someone to help them refine Foundation Establishment Elixirs. After all, the Foundation Establishment Fruit tree was in its immortal estate. This time, three Qi Condensation stage juniors in its clan were about to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. Hence, they wanted to find someone to refine a few Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
It was a hidden rule started in the past, which was using a large number of Foundation Establishment Fruits in exchange for a small number of Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
"I did well in refining the elixirs, so I refined a lot more elixirs." Fang Jinyu told it the half-truth because he didn't even use one-third of the 35 Foundation Establishment Fruits.
The king of black spirit pigs was stunned for a moment.
Then, he laughed heartily, "Hmph! You're an interesting person! Since you're an alchemist, I wonder what kind of research you've done on the Core Spirit Elixir?"
"I have never studied it."
Fang Jinyu's eyes flickered as he spoke the truth.
"Then take it to study for three days." As the king of black spirit pigs spoke, a jade slip fell in front of Fang Jinyu.
Obviously, it was the prescription for the Core Spirit Elixir.
Fang Jinyu was overjoyed.
It was because the Core Spirit Elixir had a higher tier than the Spirit Summoning Elixir. It was also a type of elixir with a wide range of applications. Cultivators who ranked 1 to 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage could consume it. Moreover, before and after consuming it, cultivators only needed to reduce the number of spirit items that they didn't need.
Apart from that, the Core Spirit Elixir could also be used to assist in the refinement of some special elixirs, even Core Formation stage elixirs.
It could be said that only an alchemist who could refine the Core Spirit Elixir would be considered a true alchemist!
Otherwise, he could only be considered a tool for elixir refinement.
Therefore, the prescription for the Core Spirit Elixir was one of the most closely guarded secrets in the various immortal sects. Some of the smaller immortal sects didn't even have the prescription for the Core Spirit Elixir!
For example, the Tujian Sect that Xin Qianqian's aunt belonged.
Fang Jinyu remembered that the Tujian Sect had once sent people to request some Core Spirit Elixirs.
However, Fang Jinyu never expected that the king of black spirit pigs would give him such a great benefit!
Although he could study it for only three days, three days should be the maximum loan period for the prescription the king of black spirit pigs could provide him. Moreover, Fang Jinyu was confident that he could master it in three days!
Fang Jinyu could not help but recall how the book described the king of black spirit pigs. According to the book, it was a kind-hearted ugly pig who would repay the kindness shown to him. However, it was a narrow-minded pig. A few hundred years ago, a bird pecked its butt, and it still remembered it.
"Thank you very much, Senior!"
Fang Jinyu quickly thanked it and deliberately made himself look more excited.
The king of black spirit pigs laughed again when seeing his actions. It said, "Hmph! Hmph! If you find that I'm not around when you're here to return it three days later, you can come back another day."
Fang Jinyu immediately understood the situation. It was helping him to delay the date of returning the prescription for a few more days. After all, the king of black spirit pigs didn't mention a word about the date.
He then once more expressed his gratitude before leaving the Spirit Beasts Valley.
Initially, he just wanted to gain some favor and make the group of black spirit pigs feels him look more pleasing to the eye. He hoped that they would provide him with more benefits in the future. However, he didn't expect that he would obtain the prescription for the Core Spirit Elixir!
"Now, I'm confident I'll be able to rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage within thirty years!"
Joy filled Fang Jinyu's heart, and he quickly went to exchange for merit points.
Every disciple of the Tianling Sect had a unique plaque. Qi Condensation stage disciples would have a talisman tool plaque, while Foundation Establishment stage disciples would have a spirit tool plaque. A normal Foundation Establishment stage disciple usually has a low-tier spirit tool plaque. However, the sect would upgrade it to a middle-tier spirit tool plaque if they had enough merit points.
Fang Jinyu possessed a middle-tier spirit tool plaque, which he had obtained after contributing many Mini Entry-Level Elixirs. Meanwhile, as he placed the 20 Foundation Establishment Elixirs on the merit table, his plaque instantly showed an increase of 10000 merit points. At the same time, a special bead appeared above his plaque.
"Thank you very much! Grandmaster!"
Fang Jinyu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Grandmaster had already bound the Dark-Lightning Spirit Pearl to his plaque. Once he had enough merit points, he could immediately obtain the Dark-Lightning Spirit Pearl!
Fang Jinyu immediately exchanged for the Dark-Lightning Spirit Pearl.
Soon, a white bird flew over as it grasped a special jade box. When the white bird stopped in front of Fang Jinyu, he heard the voice of the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster, "Where did you get so many Foundation Establishment Elixirs?"
Since the Foundation Establishment Elixir was a strategic resource for the immortal sects, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had to care about the matter.
Fang Jinyu didn't lie about anything and quickly explained the entire situation.
"Those two stupid pigs asked you to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixirs? And you succeeded? And there were quite a few of them? Wow! One of you dares to find a stranger to refine elixirs while the other dares to try it!"
The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster couldn't help but curse. He thought, "Only those two stupid pigs would ask someone who had just started to learn refining Foundation Establishment stage elixirs to refine them the Foundation Establishment Elixir. They aren't worried that all the Foundation Establishment Fruits will be wasted!"
Naturally, Fang Jinyu could only remain quiet.
However, at this moment, Fang Jinyu heard the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster ask, "Then how many more can you refine? If you can refine 100 elixirs, then the Tianling Sect can stay out of the matter, and I'll be relieved too. Of course, I won't let you refine them for free. I'll give you one Wind Spirit Pearl, one Fire Spirit Pearl, and one box of Authentic Core Fruits since it was the fundamental ingredient for refining the Core Spirit Elixir. In addition, I'll give you a copy of my insights on refining magic treasures."

The Little Girl Is Finally Useful
Fang Jinyu agreed.
After all, since he would obtain so many resources, there was no reason for him to reject it.
...
Moreover, even though the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster didn't mention what it was about, Fang Jinyu did recall some of his memories with his reminder.
Naturally, he had read about it from the book that once appeared shortly.
It seemed that some time ago, for some unknown reason, the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins of Nine Desolations' land had become unstable. Although the total amount of the spiritual energy didn't change much, the changes caused the Foundation Establishment Fruits, which were supposed to ripe during the year, to either be delayed by three years or have problems that prevented them from being used for alchemy.
It caused the price of the Foundation Establishment Fruits that year skyrocketed by three times. The Foundation Establishment Elixir made from Foundation Establishment Fruits could be sold for a premium of 100000 spirit stones each!
It was simply the most outrageous price increment in the immortal world. If it weren't for the fact that the other prices didn't increase much, it would have caused inflation in the immortal world.
However, some people had made great profits from the skyrocketing bid for the Foundation Establishment Elixir. They had earned pots of money!
Fang Jinyu remembered that one of the aristocratic families had the surname Qin.
"It seems to be the family of that bossy male character…."
At first, Fang Jinyu had not thought about it because he had been looking for opportunities when he was reading the book. As such, he only had a rough impression of the bootlickers that the female lead, Su Yier, had.
After connecting the dots, Fang Jinyu finally understood the situation.
After all, "Senior Brother Qin" had taken Su Yier's virginity. Logically speaking, Su Yier's neurotic master should at least cripple "Senior Brother Qin"!
However, in the end, Su Yier's master tolerated his existence. It was obvious that after the problem with the Foundation Establishment Fruits occurred this time, the Qin family had given many Foundation Establishment Fruits or Foundation Establishment Elixirs to Tianling Sect.
After all, although Su Yier's neurotic master was a sword cultivator, he seemed to bully the weak and fear the strong.
For example, he had been eyeing Fang Jinyu's spot to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm because Fang Jinyu had no background in the sect and was just an ordinary disciple.
"So, Su Yier has taken the chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm from who?" Only then did Fang Jinyu remember the matter.
Fang Jinyu had successfully entered the Lingdu Secret Realm, and the spot couldn't be created out of thin air.
It could only belong to an unlucky fellow.
However, it had nothing to do with Fang Jinyu. He was a mere cultivator who ranked 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage. In fact, from the perspective of cultivation, he had only just stepped into the starting point.
After that, Fang Jinyu began to prepare to refine his magic treasure.
The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster of the Tianling Sect was generous. Perhaps it was because the matter of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs had upset him. He wanted to resolve it as soon as possible, so he gave Fang Jinyu the reward he had promised beforehand.
They were two spirit pearls. One was wind-attributed, while the other was fire-attributed.
Fang Jinyu also got a box of 12 Authentic Core Fruits, which was the fundamental ingredient for refining the Core Spirit Elixir.
Moreover, he got a copy of insight which was the most precious item.
Before this, Fang Jinyu only knew that after the magic treasure was refined, he could obtain the luck of the magic treasure that was nurtured by the heavens and earth. If one's spiritual root's attribute was compatible with the refined magic treasure, one could use the magic treasure's power while he broke through the Foundation Establishment stage!
After Fang Jinyu had read through the insights, he realized that cultivators couldn't simply use the power of the refined magic treasure. The inner energy of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator wasn't enough to support the release of the power of the refined magic treasure. Thus, when the power of a magic treasure was used, it would use the cultivator's life span as a power source.
It was because all magic treasures contained heavens and earth magic domains.
The completeness and power of heavens and earth magic domains were the keys to determining the grade of the magic treasure.
However, not being able to use it didn't mean Fang Jinyu couldn't increase his strength with it.
Fang Jinyu could gain some understanding of the magic treasure. He only needed to understand a little of it and combine it with what he had learned to form his great divine powers.
The great divine powers were not only compatible with him but were also extremely powerful. Moreover, only a small amount of inner energy would be consumed while using it. Therefore, one only needed to master the great divine powers to possess the Foundation Establishment stage's top combat strength.
Fang Jinyu started his closed-door cultivation again.
Naturally, he was still doing his closed-door cultivation at Mount Xiaohe. No other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were at the peak except for him. He could be considered half a peak leader of Mount Xiaohe now. Naturally, no one would come and disturb him.
After all, the Qi Condensation stage disciples cultivating on Mount Xiaohe knew that Fang Jinyu had broken through the Foundation Establishment stage half a year ago with an extremely encouraging method!
However, the little girl wasn't happy with the situation. She rested her chin on her hand and looked at the stone gate where Fang Jinyu was doing his closed-door cultivation. No one knew what she was thinking.
She was unhappy because she dared not wander around without Fang Jinyu.
Using Fang Jinyu's reputation, she had a great time at the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" and Mount Xiaohe. Even if her cultivation base was weak, the other disciples of the Tianling Sect still treated her as their future junior sister.
However, Fang Jinyu's closed-door cultivation didn't last long this time. Two days later, he ended his closed-door cultivation.
"Why are you so fast this time?" The little girl rushed over to Fang Jinyu and noticed that he was frowning in displeasure. Hence, she asked, "Are you in trouble?"
"It can be considered so." Fang Jinyu sighed in his heart.
The refining of the stone orb went very smoothly. With the help of the Dark-Lightning Spirit Pearl and the gains in refining the magic treasure, the process could be said to be very smooth and natural.
After refining the stone orb, although Fang Jinyu didn't improve his strength, he increased his luck by at least ten times after checking it with the fortune-telling technique!
While Fang Jinyu was lamenting how much luck the magic treasure was carrying, he couldn't help but wonder how weak his luck was.
After all, Fang Jinyu had previously gained one point in luck refining.
After his luck increased, Fang Jinyu experienced the benefits of having such strong luck for the first time. He had gained more insight into his previous cultivation and even had a slight idea of refining the Core Spirit Elixir after going through its prescription several times.
"What kind of trouble?" The little girl asked subconsciously. She was just curious.
Fang Jinyu was unwilling to tell her about it. However, his fortune-telling technique reacted. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Do you know why there are times when we can't refine magic treasures?"
Refining the stone orb magic treasure was smooth, but refining the Green Phoenix Scissors was extremely difficult!
Fang Jinyu couldn't even refine it!
"It's most likely that the magic treasure has been disturbed by someone without letting you know…." The little girl answered subconsciously, but she was stunned when she said it.
She blinked her large, clear eyes as if she felt strange or confused. Afterward, she furrowed her brows and pondered for a while. Ultimately, she found that she couldn't figure it out. Hence, she looked at Fang Jinyu while confused and asked, "What's a magic weapon?"
She had no idea why she blurted it out just now.

The Fortune-Telling Technique and Myna
Fang Jinyu didn't answer, but he looked surprised. The moment the little girl finished speaking, he could feel that his luck had decreased by a tenth!
It turned out the price of the fortune-telling technique was his luck?
...
Fang Jinyu could not help but come to a sudden realization. He finally understood why his fortune-telling technique stopped after meeting the little girl. After he had mastered the fortune-telling technique, he saw his luck was so weak that it was almost non-existent. It was because he had paid the price once!
Now that he had obtained luck again and could afford the cost of the fortune-telling technique, the fortune-telling technique finally reacted again.
"It's indeed the protagonist's exclusive technique…."
Who else would have such strong luck to consume besides the main character?
Sure enough, Fang Jinyu was still cannon fodder. It was not easy for him to get rid of the role!
Fang Jinyu was filled with emotion. He looked at the little girl poking his belly with her pinky and said, "You've drunk too much. What you said just now was nonsense."
"I didn't drink!" The little girl also glanced at Fang Jinyu, but her hands didn't stop moving, and she even used a bit more force.
"That's because you've slept too much. It's easy for people to become stupid after sleeping too much. I think you've become stupid." Fang Jinyu glanced at her again and thought, "Is she still going to poke my stomach?"
The little girl stopped, glanced at Fang Jinyu, and walked away without a word.
She thought, "Hmph! I will remember it!"
However, after a few steps, the little girl suddenly thought of something and said, "A bird is looking for you. It's outside."
"What bird?"
Fang Jinyu was surprised.
"A bird that can talk. It's pitch-black and looks like a crow."
Before the little girl could finish her sentence, Fang Jinyu hurriedly walked out. His fortune-telling technique was slightly reacting again.
However, it was not the only reason why Fang Jinyu did this.
In his field of vision, the countdown text box had already disappeared after reaching zero. In other words, the opportunity that gave him a headache was no longer there. He could go out without worrying about the problem of meeting Su Yier's bootlickers.
In addition, it was a bird that could speak…
Under normal circumstances, it would be a Core Formation stage spirit beast!
Qi Condensation stage spirit beast could understand human emotions. Foundation Establishment stage spirit beast could understand human nature. Core Formation stage spirit beast could speak the human language.
Of course, it only sounded like it was speaking the human language. The spirit beasts' voices were still the same. However, after the spirit beasts had broken through to the Core Formation stage, they would possess extremely profound magic powers, and even their voices would undergo inconceivable changes. It was why its voices would turn into words people could understand when they heard them.
In short, Fang Jinyu didn't dare to slight a Core Formation stage spirit beast looking for him!
However, after he walked out, Fang Jinyu realized it was only a Foundation Establishment stage bird. He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward, cupping his fists, and said, "I'm sorry, Daoist brother. I was in closed-door cultivation, so I've accidentally neglected you."
The bird was pitch-black, like a crow, but its body was larger than a normal eagle. Its wings were five feet long!
"Caw-caw! It's alright. It's alright. Two days ago, I suddenly wanted to come to Mount Xiaohe for a walk. I had an interesting chat with that little girl, so I stayed for a few more days." The crow-like bird turned out to speak the human language after chirping twice.
However, Fang Jinyu was able to confirm the species of the bird.
It was the Jade Falcon Myna.
It was a special spirit beast related to the Myna in the secular world by blood. It could learn the human language. However, most of these spirit beasts had a weak cultivation base, and only a few were above rank 3 in the Qi Condensation stage.
However, the Myna in front of him was most likely ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage since it had a similar aura to Xin Qianqian's aunt.
Fang Jinyu immediately chose topics the Jade Falcon Myna liked and chatted with it. Although it wasn't a Core Formation stage spirit beast, it looked like it would soon break through the Core Formation stage. Hence, he didn't ask to be on good terms with it. He just wanted to avoid offending it.
A moment later, the Foundation Establishment stage blackbird became extremely excited.
It was because Fang Jinyu had told it that there was a place where a beautiful female Qi Condensation stage Myna was still unmarried.
Speaking of which, Fang Jinyu knew about it because he had read about it in the book. It was the pet of one of Su Yier's bootlickers. Due to the female Myna having a strong personality and loving to pay more for everything, including when it betrayed its owner, Fang Jinyu remembered it with a glance.
Meanwhile, the blackbird that called itself "San Sun" looked at Fang Jinyu as if it was looking at a friend from its clan. "Caw-caw! Fellow Daoist Fang, I regret not meeting you earlier! Why don't you and I behead the chicken today and become sworn brothers? I'll be the second eldest brother, and you'll be the third eldest brother."
"Then who is the eldest brother?" When Fang Jinyu ridiculed it in his heart, he couldn't help but ask. He felt like he had seen the plot before.
"A Core Formation stage black spirit pig." After San Sun finished speaking, it thought of something and immediately said, "But that black spirit pig hasn't agreed with it. Third brother, don't worry, I will convince that black pig!"
Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ask, "Which Senior is it from the Spirit Beasts Valley?"
"Are you very familiar with those three?"
"Two seniors have once asked me to help them refine elixirs, and one has lent me the prescription for the Core Spirit Elixir for three days." Fang Jinyu didn't go into detail, but his words were enough to make people think.
"Caw-caw! It turns out that they are all on the same side! No wonder I suddenly wanted to come here two days ago. There's clearly nothing in Mount Xiaohe that attracts me, but I still couldn't help but stay here for a few more days." San Sun looked extremely surprised, and the tuft of bird feathers on its head spread out like a chicken's crown.
However, when the blackbird repeated that it wanted to come here two days ago, Fang Jinyu suddenly thought, "Could it be that the countdown is referring to this blackbird?"
"Second brother, did you return from the mountains two days ago?" Fang Jinyu asked.
"I went to the Spirit Beasts City for a walk and just happened to come back." Seeing Fang Jinyu being diligent, San Sun immediately said, "Great! Let's settle this, then. I'll go find that black spirit pig first. This time, I'll convince it to be my eldest brother!"
With a flap of its wings, San Sun became a black shadow and disappeared instantly. Its speed surprised Fang Jinyu.
It was because his speed would still be inferior to it even if he had cultivated the supreme wind-thunder scripture.
However, the blackbird returned the next second.
"Third brother, I almost forgot it. I bought this on a whim. I don't know what it's used for, so I'll give it to you!" San Sun threw down an item and became a black shadow to leave again.
Fang Jinyu could not help but reach out to receive it because his fortune-telling technique had reacted again!
The reaction was even more intense than the previous two times!
His fortune-telling technique would have such a strong intention only when he met the little girl!

There Are Rumors About Me?
It was a strange-looking dark-green stone that looked like a rice spoon. It looked like a stone randomly produced by nature, and its small amount of spiritual energy could barely be classified as a spiritual item.
However, it was clearly not an ordinary item for it to be brought back by a Foundation Establishment stage spirit bird from Spirit Beasts City.
...
Furthermore, the reaction to Fang Jinyu's fortune-telling technique was too strong.
However, after much hesitation, Fang Jinyu didn't use his fortune-telling technique to "analyze" it. He wasn't afraid that his luck wasn't enough since his fortune-telling technique was reacting. It was obvious that his current luck was enough to offset it.
However, luck was extremely rare, and Fang Jinyu didn't want to waste most of it.
Moreover, since it was the female lead, Su Yier's future opportunity, Fang Jinyu believed he would definitely be able to find some clues to solve it after carefully considering it a few more times.
Even if he couldn't remember, he would wait until he refined the Green Phoenix Scissors!
Fang Jinyu had been perplexed before, but after receiving the little girl's "guidance," he soon understood why.
The book mentioned that when the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster opened up the Lingdu Secret Realm with his ranked 7 inner energy in the Nascent Soul stage, he saw three magic treasures being nurtured. As he realized they weren't high-tier magic treasures, he left them in the Lingdu Secret Realm as an opportunity for the disciples.
However, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster misjudged the magic treasure and didn't even realize that there was a "split soul" of a mysterious existence hidden in the Lingdu Secret Realm!
The book didn't mention the origin of the "split soul," but it did mention that Su Yier encountered the "split soul" as soon as she entered the Lingdu Secret Realm. Afterward, the "split soul" guided Su Yier to find the second magic weapon, the Green Phoenix Scissors, after getting her first magic weapon.
It was the first time the "split soul" appeared in the book.
"Is it that thing?" Fang Jinyu's eyes flickered. After some thought, he concluded that it could only be the mysterious "split soul."
"Since it is some kind of sorcery, even if it is extremely powerful, there's still a distance limit. I'll just have to wait for another two months."
Fang Jinyu recalled the contents of the book and calmed down.
It was because two months later, Su Yier's master found out about her relationship with her "Senior Brother Qin." After that, Su Yier's master would fly into a rage out of humiliation and expel Su Yier from the sect.
Of course, Su Yier's master wouldn't expel her. He was simply enraged and would take the initiative to get Su Yier back.
After that, it naturally became the cliché but well-liked plot "Torturing your loved ones for a moment of pleasure will turn into sweat and tears to get her back."
They loved each other and tortured each other along the way. Finally, they returned to the Tianling Sect together three years later.
Su Yier met several excellent male cultivators in the immortal world in the past three years. Among them were those who were gentle and elegant, those who came from aristocratic families, those who were handsome and roguish, and those who were calm and steady, loyal men…
Although Su Yier had many admirers, the gloomy, paranoid, and lovesick sword cultivator still held a special place in her heart.
After all, Su Yier's master was handsome, rich, and had a high cultivation base. He was also born into an aristocratic cultivation family.
Even "Senior Brother Qin," who had taken Su Yier's virginity, was still inferior to the lovesick sword cultivator. Su Yier even mentioned it directly, "Although he took my virginity, the first time in my heart will always be for you…."
Fang Jinyu quickly interrupted his thoughts.
He was afraid that he would be possessed.
With that, Fang Jinyu returned to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" in a good mood. However, his mood immediately turned bad after he returned.
It was because Du Maner told him that there was a rumor about him spreading like wildfire.
"Someone said I snatched someone else's chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm?"
"Is the person who said it brainless?"
Fang Jinyu looked as if he had just seen a ghost. He thought, "What kind of ridiculous slander is it?"
Afterward, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but glance at Du Maner. Since he hadn't seen her for a while, she had just broken through rank 2 in the Qi Condensation stage in their last meeting, but now, her cultivation base had broken through rank 4 in the Qi Condensation stage!
Was it one of the perks of being the main character?
Was she going to welcome a good life after breaking the original bitter fate of life and death? Was she going to reach the prime of her life?
The situation made Fang Jinyu determined to stay as far away from Su Yier as possible!
Fang Jinyu thought, "If Du Maner can have such a perk, how about Su Yier? The book mentioned that she would be on the verge of breaking her core and forming her Nascent Soul in a dozen years. She will be powerful when her cultivation base soars. She is almost invincible among those of the same cultivation base."
"Martial Uncle, what's going on?" Du Maner was also interested because cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't access the Lingdu Secret Realm. The rule was never explicitly established by the Tianling Sect, but it was always implicitly accepted.
Fang Jinyu explained the situation.
After all, he was the main character of the rumor.
"Martial Uncle, you even met the Grandmaster?" Du Maner couldn't resist casting an envious glance. For a cultivator in the Qi Condensation stage, she would feel honored to meet a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
Afterward, Du Maner growled, "I wonder which bastard spread the rumors! He is acting inappropriately! Yet, many people believed it."
Since Du Maner was close to Fang Jinyu, she naturally chose to believe him.
"The matter is infuriating, but it is also very boring." Fang Jinyu shook his head. He was too lazy to dwell on the matter. After all, it was meaningless. He felt that he had better try and comprehend the prescription of the Core Spirit Elixir by today.
"However, although I don't know who spread it, someone has snatched someone else's chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm." Fang Jinyu looked at Du Maner thoughtfully and decided to tattletale in front of the new female lead.
"No wonder…" Du Maner suddenly understood the situation, but she didn't continue asking.
Du Maner was only a Qi Condensation stage cultivator. She knew what to say and what not to say. Even in front of Fang Jinyu, she was used to being cautious and wouldn't act rashly.
However, even if she didn't ask, someone else did.
A heartless little girl curiously leaned her little head over and asked, "Who is it? You should know, right?"
Fang Jinyu pretended to hesitate when he saw the little girl asking the question. When the little girl urged him again, he said, "Fine, there's no harm in telling you about it. Do you know about Mount Lingjian?"
"Is it the mountain where the best sword cultivator in the sect lives?" Du Maner asked. Since the Tianling Sect only had one Core Formation stage sword cultivator, Su Yier's master was quite famous.
"Yes, you're correct." Fang Jinyu nodded. "As far as I know, Mount Lingjian doesn't have any disciples who were able to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm this year. It was because the sword cultivator Martial Uncle suddenly accepted a disciple, and the chances had been set long ago, and Mount Lingjian wasn't included in the list. However, I saw the disciples of Mount Lingjian at that time."
Fang Jinyu didn't elaborate further, but he made himself clear.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu started to study the prescription of the Core Spirit Elixir.
Fang Jinyu had thought that the rumors about him would soon die down. After all, he was just cannon fodder. However, just four hours later, the rumor spread like wildfire and even forced him to leave his study of the prescription of the Core Spirit Elixir.

The Useless Looks Improves Again
The peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" was divided into the front yard and the backyard. The backyard was used to plant spirit herbs, while the front yard was for cultivation and elixir refinement. Moreover, there was a living room in the front yard for the peak's Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to meet their guests.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the living room in the front yard was tense.
...
On the other hand, Fang Jinyu was speechless for being the main character of the rumor.
Although Fang Jinyu couldn't understand and was angry about the rumor, he didn't take it seriously. After all, he knew one only needed to consider carefully, and it was easy to understand that it was just a rumor.
However, Fang Jinyu didn't expect that the matter would alert a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from Tianling Sect, and they would be here to question him.
These few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators weren't Tianling Sect's disciples. They were foreign masters that Tianling Sect recruited in recent years because they were all skilled in a specific technique. Some were good at taming spirit insects, and some were proficient in nurturing spirit herbs.
Fang Jinyu couldn't understand why these scumbags were interfering with the matter.
It was because the litigant wasn't here.
He was Tianling Sect's disciple, whose chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm had been taken away by the female lead, Su Yier. Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu had learned of his name. His name was Lin Yue, and initially, he came from a well-off cultivation clan with several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in his family. He could be considered someone with some background.
However, not long ago, his family was destroyed by his enemy. Since it involved a personal grudge from decades ago, and the Lin family was in the wrong, even the sect around the Lin family couldn't judge their enemy.
The Tianling Sect didn't express their opinion on the matter. After all, their disciples' families were destroyed, not their own.
"Fang Jinyu, you've forcefully taken someone else's opportunity. Even if the sect leader were to find out, we'd be in the right."
"That's right! Hurry up, obediently admit your crimes, and go to the sect leader to receive your punishment!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for taking action!"
Fang Jinyu first chose to look at them and listen to their criticism. However, after a while, he couldn't help but ask calmly with an expressionless face, "Fellow Daoists, are you all out of your mind?"
"What an arrogant bastard!" The three Foundation Establishment stage foreign masters were instantly enraged.
Fang Jinyu couldn't be bothered to say anything more. He felt that giving up his precious time studying the prescription to meet them was foolish!
"How dare you! The three of us will teach you a lesson today. How dare you, a cultivator who just broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, speak to us who have broken through Foundation Establishment stage long ago in such a manner?"
Fang Jinyu looked impatient. Just as he was about to ask them to find the sect leader, a text box appeared in his field of vision.
[Today is a day of being handsome while quarreling with the other.]
[Refined appearance 1]
Fang Jinyu was stunned for a moment. Afterward, a wave of inexplicable anger welled up in him.
Fang Jinyu thought, "What the heck? The damn useless appearance appeared again?"
"What can I do with looking handsome when I am a cultivator!"
Fang Jinyu, who had not wanted to fight, suddenly became angry and said coldly, "I think the three of you are more likely to have accepted some benefits and deliberately come to find trouble. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so brainless. Since you're insistent on fighting, I'll let you see the difference between an authentic Foundation Establishment stage Tianling Sect disciple and you!"
Fang Jinyu had intentionally raised his voice when he said the last sentence. The two Foundation Establishment stage Mount Lingyao disciples who had wanted to stop him immediately stayed where they were.
It was because they were all authentic Foundation Establishment stage Tianling Sect disciples.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there is trouble. The saying could be used by cultivators too. The competition between the factions of the Tianling Sect could be said to be intense. However, most battles were restrained, except for the fight between the authentic Tianling Sect disciples and the foreign masters. Although their relationship wasn't as leading a cat and dog life, they didn't even bother to put on a show.
Fang Jinyu made his move as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing Fang Jinyu make his move, the three foreign masters were overjoyed because they had achieved their goal. Even though someone had bribed them to come here, if Fang Jinyu made the first move, they would be in the driver's seat!
However, the three foreign masters soon regretted it.
They were all cultivators who ranked 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage, but they were defeated when they took out their spirit tools. They had no idea that Fang Jinyu's magical power contained some lightning power, causing them to be stunned for a moment. However, the winner was decided at the moment they were stunned.
"Is it a high-tier technique? Did you secretly learn it?" Although the three had obtained a complete set of cultivation methods after joining the Tianling Sect, they could only obtain low-tier techniques. Hence, when they discovered that Fang Jinyu cultivated a high-tier technique, they couldn't help but be jealous, which made them say such foolish words.
"Huh, you three might not know about it. Junior Brother Fang's parents had once sacrificed themselves for the sect, so he was given the storm raging technique by the sect long ago." Meanwhile, the two Foundation Establishment stage Mount Lingyao disciples finally spoke up to smooth things.
"Senior Brothers, I still have a furnace of elixirs to refine, so I'll take my leave first." Fang Jinyu cupped his hands and gestured to the two Foundation Establishment stage Mount Lingyao disciples.
"Junior Brother Fang, take care!" The two Mount Lingyao disciples who ranked 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage immediately greeted Fang Jinyu as he showed his extraordinary strength.
Fang Jinyu could immediately defeat three enemies during the battle. It was something that even the two of them, cultivators who ranked 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage, couldn't do.
Fang Jinyu returned in a bad mood. However, the next day, he was in a better mood because when he visited the Spirit Beasts Valley, the king of black spirit pigs wasn't there.
"The king of black spirit pigs is so kind!" Fang Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to rush to study the Core Spirit Elixir.
[Today is hard work to comprehend the prescription of the Core Spirit Elixir, but unfortunately, there are no gains.]
[Refined and obtained the fundamentals in refining the Core Spirit Elixir 1]
On this day, Fang Jinyu finally obtained what he had been longing for. He suddenly became enlightened and realized how to refine the Core Spirit Elixir he needed for his current cultivation.
"It only took me two days to understand the wonders of the Core Spirit Elixir. I'm indeed a genius at alchemy!"
Someone was boasting shamelessly.
Meanwhile, a streak of light flew over. It was a talisman with the sect leader's seal on it. Hence, it could ignore all the restrictions within the sect and arrive in front of Fang Jinyu.
Afterward, the sect leader's voice sounded, "Junior Brother Fang, please come to Mount Tianling as soon as possible."
The talisman became ashes and was scattered on the ground after giving verbal orders.
Fang Jinyu muttered, "Sect leader, you're throwing garbage everywhere again…." Although Fang Jinyu was puzzled about the sect leader's summons, he still went.
When Fang Jinyu arrived at Mount Tianling, he realized that quite a few people were there. He looked around and happened to see the three foreign masters. Beside them was a disciple who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage. Fang Jinyu immediately knew what was going on, so he couldn't help but say to the sect leader, "Sect leader, you must know why I can enter the Lingdu Secret Realm, right?"
"Naturally, I know." The sect leader nodded helplessly and said, "Junior Brother, please take out your Discipline Pearl."
"Of course, I'm willing to. However, the Grandmaster summoned me when I left the Lingdu Secret Realm that day. Back then, the Grandmaster had already erased the information recorded on the Discipline Pearl." Fang Jinyu said as he took it out.

Report chapter
We're Not the Same
The Tianling Sect Leader took the Discipline Pearl and examined it. When he sensed a trace of the inner energy of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator left on it, he couldn't help but look at Fang Jinyu.
To be honest, ever since Fang Jinyu had interfered with something he shouldn't have and forced them to secretly execute a cultivator who ranked 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage, the sect leader wasn't fond of Fang Jinyu. After all, since the Grandmaster knew too many descendants of his long-lost friends, he often stopped interfering with the matter after he saw the Grandmaster meet any of the descendants of his long-lost friends.
...
Only when Fang Jinyu revealed his talent in alchemy and even had the potential to become a Holy Alchemist did the sect leader become fond of him.
However, the sect leader didn't expect the Grandmaster to have some impression of Fang Jinyu.
Thus, in a flash, the sect leader stared at the disciple, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, coldly and said, "Lin Yue, are you aware that the crime of slandering a Foundation Establishment stage Martial Uncle?"
"Sect leader! I… I didn't slander him!" Lin Yue looked flustered. However, when he thought it had turned into a situation that he couldn't admit his faults, he said, "It's him! This martial uncle forced me to give him my chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm! Sect leader, please don't be unfair to me!"
"That's right! Sect leader, we can't just listen to his side of the story!" Meanwhile, the three foreign masters quickly chimed in. Other than the fact that they had been humiliated by Fang Jinyu, it was also because the person who had bribed them had doubled the bribes.
The sect leader glanced at them and then said, "Junior Brother Fang's parents had once sacrificed themselves for the Tianling Sect, so the sect rewarded him with a one-time chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. However, Junior Brother Fang has an extraordinary talent. He understood the technique and naturally broke through all bottlenecks to the Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, Junior Brother Fang came to Mount Tianling to hand over the chance back then…."
The sect leader didn't mention the Grandmaster, but his words were clear enough.
"Three junior brothers, please memorize the sect rules. Tianling Sect is different from the other sects. I can't say all the rules are valid, but most are."
Although the sect leader was polite, his words were no different from giving them a warning.
The three foreign masters' expressions changed as soon as they understood what the sect leader was saying. They had worked as foreign masters in other sects for a while before and thought the sects' rules were all the same. They believed that the sects only prepared the rules for common disciples who lacked influence and power. If the disciples had power and influence, everything would be different.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue's face was deathly pale, and he quickly shouted, "Sect leader, I am unwilling to come. These three martial uncles forced me. I didn't dare to reject them!"
However, the sect leader ignored Lin Yue and said, "Lin Yue, you slandered your martial uncle and even secretly transferred your chance to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. You should have crippled your cultivation base and been expelled from the sect. However, because of your family's misfortune, you are only expelled from the sect."
"Sect leader!" Lin Yue was terrified. He was safe from his family's enemies just because he had the identity of a disciple of the Tianling Sect. However, once he was expelled from the sect, whether he had his cultivation base didn't make a difference.
However, no one cared about a puny disciple like him, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage. It was because someone had to take the blame for the matter.
Obviously, the three foreign masters weren't suitable to take the blame. After all, they were useful to the Tianling Sect. Otherwise, the Tianling Sect wouldn't recruit them.
Fang Jinyu couldn't take the blame since he was the victim. Not only was he a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with the potential to become a Holy Alchemist, but he was also involved with the Grandmaster.
Therefore, it was apparent that Lin Yue, who had lost the protection of his family, was the best scapegoat.
Although Lin Yue was also a victim, it didn't matter since no one cared about the doings of a minor character. Everyone just wanted a more satisfactory result.
However, Fang Jinyu was slightly dissatisfied because Lin Yue was just unlucky.
Fortunately, at this moment, someone bumped into him.
Naturally, it was the three foreign masters. After all, they accepted someone's bribe and failed to make a fuss about the chance of entering the Lingdu Secret Realm. It was just right for them to blame Fang Jinyu for fighting them.
"Sect leader, just now, Fang Jinyu fought with the three of us. He…" One of the foreign masters was about to complain about Fang Jinyu, but Fang Jinyu interrupted, "I'll admit to this matter. I request that the sect give me the most severe punishment. However, they did attack me, so they have to bear at least half of the punishment!"
The Tianling Sect Leader was taken aback. However, he immediately thought of the Grandmaster's strange care for Fang Jinyu. Moreover, he recalled that Fang Jinyu had previously worked hard in the Spirit Beasts Valley for a month to thank the sect for allowing him to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm. Thus, the sect leader's expression gradually became strange.
The sect leader advised, "Junior Brother Fang, are you serious? The most severe punishment would be going to the underground spirit vein to mine three hundred thousand spirit stones."
Digging for spirit stones was hard work. The Spirit Beasts Valley stank like people had been marinated in a stinky vegetable tank several times. However, going to the underground spirit vein to mine spirit stones was the worst. Not only did one have to bear the pressure of the underground, but one also had to avoid the attacks of the underground creatures. Although it was not fatal, it was definitely enough to torment one.
Once, a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage went down to mine a million spirit stones. However, after returning, his cultivation base dropped to rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Then they're going to mine 150000 spirit stones, right?" Fang Jinyu looked at the three foreign masters.
The sect leader nodded and said, "If you plead guilty, they'll have to mine 150000 spirit stones." Since they had fought because of a personal grudge, he couldn't just let it go like last time.
"I admit it!" Fang Jinyu said.
The three foreign masters immediately changed their expressions and widened their eyes as they looked at Fang Jinyu in shock.
They thought, "This fellow is so cruel to himself. Is he really a fucking alchemist?"
"Junior Brother Fang, this… Why don't we just forget about this matter?" Although the three foreign masters were rogue cultivators, they were clear about how tough mining spirit stones could be. They couldn't help but be stunned.
"No, since I've broken the sect rules, I won't feel at ease if I don't accept the punishment!" Fang Jinyu's words were full of tirades, and the three foreign masters could only curse in their hearts. They quickly went to find someone to plead for mercy, trying to escape the punishment.
However, as Fang Jinyu went to the underground, the three foreign masters had no choice but to follow.
Fang Jinyu, on the other hand, only spent two days underground before being taken away by a great Core Formation stage cultivator who rushed over, in contrast to the three foreign masters who had to mine 150000 spirit stones.
"The Grandmaster said that if you refine ten more Foundation Establishment Elixirs, your punishment will be pardoned." The great Core Formation stage cultivator left after passing on the Grandmaster with a strange look.
"Thank you so much, Grandmaster!"
Even though the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster couldn't hear him, Fang Jinyu still expressed his thanks in the direction of Mount Guiwang.
It was an essential formalist principle that couldn't be ignored.
"I thought it would take half a month. I didn't expect it would only take two days. The Grandmaster seems very concerned about the reduction in Foundation Establishment Fruits!"
Fang Jinyu was deep in thought. He then turned toward the direction of the spirit stone mine and opened his mouth. Although he didn't speak, he mouthed, "Three idiots."

Everyone Knows That You're a Kind and Honest Man
Fang Jinyu first went to Spirit Beasts Valley to return the Core Spirit Elixir prescription. This time, he got to meet the king of black spirit pigs. However, for some reason, the king of black spirit pigs, the guardian of Tianling Sect's spirit beasts, looked at him curiously.
After that, Fang Jinyu went to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixirs by using his spirit stones.
...
After all, he had to complete the mission first.
Hence, after three days, Fang Jinyu finally refined all the Foundation Establishment Fruits in his possession into elixirs. Since his success rate had already reached 90%, he obtained 213 Foundation Establishment Elixirs using around 20 Foundation Establishment Fruits!
After Fang Jinyu familiarized himself with refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs, he could refine at least ten elixirs per furnace.
After delivering the 110 Foundation Establishment Elixirs, Fang Jinyu finally finished the Grandmaster's mission. Afterward, he couldn't help but sigh in relief. However, he started to worry when he looked at the 103 Foundation Establishment Elixirs in his hands.
Fang Jinyu faced the difficult problem of dealing with the remaining Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
It was because the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs would skyrocket very soon. Fang Jinyu would expose not only his true success rate but also face a lot of trouble with having so many Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
"Since the Foundation Establishment Elixirs are too special, even the best sealing method can only keep their medicinal properties for two years."
Fang Jinyu pondered. He had to think of a way to get rid of the batch of Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
After all, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs not only had unique medicinal properties but also had a special status in the cultivation world. Except for cultivators with the Tianling spiritual root, cultivators with other spiritual roots needed the Foundation Establishment Elixirs!
Furthermore, Fang Jinyu had not just 20 Foundation Establishment Elixirs but more than 100 Foundation Establishment Elixirs! Last time, he had attracted the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster's attention by only contributing 20 Foundation Establishment Elixirs to the Tianling Sect. Although his current situation was special, the outcome would almost be the same.
"There are more than a hundred Foundation Establishment Elixirs here. I can use them to form a small sect…."
Fang Jinyu muttered to himself.
However, Fang Jinyu couldn't bear to let his Foundation Establishment Elixirs be discarded after two years. Although the supplementary ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Elixirs were cheap, he had spent over a thousand spirit stones on them.
Suddenly, a talisman flew over, but since it didn't have the privilege of the sect leader, it could only gyrate in front of the alchemy room.
Fang Jinyu looked and realized that Du Maner was looking for him.
It was because Du Maner had received the Messenger Talisman from him.
He entrusted the little girl to Du Maner and had her take care of the girl for a while.
"Could it be that my future benefactor is in trouble again?" Fang Jinyu raised his brows and quickly left.
Fang Jinyu hoped the little girl would cause as much trouble as possible. This way, wouldn't she be embarrassed if she refused to repay his favor when she recovered her memory and strength?
In Fang Jinyu's eyes, the little girl was his second investment. Its importance was only inferior to Du Maner.
He had asked Du Maner to take care of the little girl to find an appropriate reason to give her some Qi Condensation stage elixirs.
However, after Fang Jinyu left, he realized he had been wrong. The little girl behaved like an obedient child. She didn't even go to a place far from where he was refining elixirs.
This time, Du Maner was personally looking for him.
Du Maner said as soon as she saw Fang Jinyu, "Martial Uncle, I know who spread the rumors about you last time!"
"How did you know?" Fang Jinyu was surprised and thought, "Is the cultivation world really that concerned with one's appearance? Alright, I just admit it about the last time the cultivators who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage asked Du Maner to join their gathering and set a trap to cheat her. But how did Du Maner even find out about the person who spread the rumors this time?"
Back then, Fang Jinyu had specially asked the sect leader about the matter. However, the sect leader said he wasn't clear about the matter either and even advised Fang Jinyu to give up on his thoughts of finding the truth. Because the sect leader believed that if the person dared to spread the rumors, he had already solved the consequences. Besides, the sect leader told him that there was no need to get angry over a rumor and waste his precious cultivation time.
Although the sect leader's words weren't true, they were kind of reasonable.
After all, Fang Jinyu was only an ordinary disciple in the Tianling Sect.
How could Fang Jinyu, a disciple without power, influence, or background, fight with someone with power, influence, and background?
Fang Jinyu couldn't fight with his stubbornness, right?
"Martial Uncle, I got a strange mask. It serves as a camouflage for me to appear to be a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and a key to joining the gathering of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. I accidentally entered the gathering with the mask and happened to hear someone mention it." Du Maner told Fang Jinyu everything she knew. Since the fortune-telling technique, her trust in Fang Jinyu has skyrocketed.
"Martial Niece, it's a good opportunity!" Fang Jinyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. At the same time, he cursed in his heart, "The main character's treatment is indeed 'ordinary.' Du Maner has unexpectedly obtained a mask and entered such a special gathering."
Fang Jinyu knew of a few such gatherings but needed someone to guide him. However, with his ordinary status and no background, no one had come to get in touch with him.
If it was Xin Qianqian if she had broken through the Foundation Establishment… Someone would immediately guide her in a few days based on her background, which was somewhat related to an aristocratic cultivation family.
Usually, special gatherings were held by specific communities.
No matter how extraordinary they were, anyone who had nothing to do with the community, no matter how extraordinary they were, would not be accepted by the members of the community.
Thus, Fang Jinyu skipped the topic and went straight to the point. "Who spread the rumors?"
"It's a person called Qin Haoyue." Du Maner replied.
Fang Jinyu's eyes flickered, and he thought, "Isn't that the 'overbearing president' I met last time?"
Afterward, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but smile.
It was because he just remembered that he seemed to have read about the plot about spreading rumors in the book.
After Su Yier had entered the Lingdu Secret Realm, a female cultivator was jealous of Su Yier because her crush bootlicked Su Yier. The female cultivator had provoked Su Yier a few times. Hence, when Qin Haoyue knew there was a problem with Su Yier entering the Lingdu Secret Realm, he decided to go all out and make the first move to gain the upper hand. Qin Haoyue immediately spread rumors and threw mud at the female cultivator.
Back then, Fang Jinyu had only skimmed through it since that part of the plot wasn't related to his opportunity, and Su Yier took the initiative to do it.
"Can I come up with a way of fighting that aligns with the temperament of cultivators?"
Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart. He was really uninterested in such schemes.
After all, it wasn't the harem of Su Yier. Fang Jinyu thought it unnecessary to put a scheme in place as the characters did in "Empresses in the Palace."
"Has this guy already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"I heard from them that Qin Haoyue broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage after he left the Lingdu Secret Realm, and he's currently consolidating his cultivation base. After consolidating his cultivation, the Qin family will hold a banquet for him." Du Maner told Fang Jinyu everything she knew.
"Martial Niece, thank you for this. You can have this bottle of elixirs for now. A few days later, I'll refine a furnace of elixirs suitable for you."
"Martial Uncle, this bottle of pills is enough." Du Maner was overjoyed. She had been so diligent and willing to help Fang Jinyu, not only because she had a good impression of him but also because he was generous.
Afterward, Du Maner glanced at Fang Jinyu and said hesitantly, "Martial Uncle, there's one more thing about you…."
Fang Jinyu saw her hesitation and asked, "What is it? Just tell me."
"The entire Tianling Sect is saying you're a kind and honest man…."

My Cheat and I Are Amazing!
"Who spread the rumor?" Fang Jinyu's eyes widened as he asked.
Fang Jinyu thought, "The entire Tianling Sect is calling me a kind and honest man?"
...
"Do it have to be so ridiculous?!"
"I didn't do anything!"
Hearing it, Du Maner couldn't help but glance at Fang Jinyu with her phoenix eyes. Meanwhile, she muttered in her heart, "Is it a rumor?" It was because, in her opinion, "Martial Uncle Fang" was indeed a kind and honest man…
"I don't know who spread it, but I heard it first from the Foundation Establishment stage seniors. Afterward, many Qi Condensation stage disciples learned about it, so they all went to ask Mount Xiaohe's disciples…." At this point, Du Maner couldn't help but steal a glance at Fang Jinyu.
It was because Du Maner only knew how honest her "Martial Uncle Fang" was in the past through the introduction of someone familiar with Fang Jinyu.
A Foundation Establishment Fruit had once fallen into the hands of this "Martial Uncle Fang."
However, since he was entrusted by someone, this "Martial Uncle Fang," who was already at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage and urgently needed the Foundation Establishment Elixir, didn't have any wicked thoughts from beginning to end. He even obediently fulfilled his promise.
Du Maner believed that if she were ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage and needed the Foundation Establishment Elixir, she would definitely do something.
At most, after she broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, she would return a Foundation Establishment Elixir to the other party!
Fang Jinyu went silent.
It was because, in his memory, the former Fang Jinyu was "a little too honest."
Seeing Fang Jinyu's reaction, Du Maner said, "Martial Uncle, I'll go ask someone else. Maybe I can get a specific answer."
Du Maner wanted to find a reason to escape.
"Forget it. I'll go!" Fang Jinyu shook his head and headed straight for Mount Goddess.
In terms of gossip, which peak's disciples would know the most?
In that case, it could only be Mount Goddess.
Xin Qianqian was undoubtedly very happy to see Fang Jinyu. She couldn't help but grab his arm with her small hands. She showed a Duchenne smile as if she had endless things to say. "Senior Brother Fang, aren't you being too honest? Furthermore, it's too hard to dig for spirit stones in the underground spirit vein."
"You knew?" Fang Jinyu feigned surprise.
"Who doesn't know that now?" Xin Qianqian rolled her eyes at Fang Jinyu, then asked curiously, "Senior Brother Fang, how did you get out? Or have you received a special pardon from the sect leader for not going?"
"No, the Grandmaster has something for me to do, so I'm not punished." Fang Jinyu pretended to be grateful and said, "If not for the Grandmaster, I would still be digging for spirit stones underground!"
"That's great!" Xin Qianqian couldn't help but feel happy for Fang Jinyu. She didn't ask what it was about.
"By the way, how did my story spread? I heard from a martial niece that many people are talking about it?" Fang Jinyu finally asked after he was almost done laying the foundations.
"It started when you took the initiative to receive the punishment. The three foreign masters who fought with you went around to plead for mercy, wanting to be exempted from the punishment. Hence, they indirectly spread the news that you took the initiative to receive the punishment…." Xin Qianqian summarized that the story spread widely because the three foreign masters scolded Fang Jinyu a lot at that time.
"But there's no need to say I'm an honest man…." Fang Jinyu suddenly understood the situation. It was all because of the three scumbags.
When Xin Qianqian heard it, she couldn't help but roll her eyes again. Then, she said while feeling amused, "It's all because of what you did in the past, Senior Brother Fang…."
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that "Senior Brother Fang" was so kind and honest, she wouldn't have fallen for the ordinary-looking "Senior Brother Fang."
Fang Jinyu saved her, but he didn't want anything from her.
He had a gentle personality as if he would never get angry.
Moreover, the more Xin Qianqian looked at Fang Jinyu, the more he felt that it looked handsome…
With this thought, Xin Qianqian realized that "Senior Brother Fang" seemed much more handsome than before!
In the past, he looked as ordinary as many people who looked similar to him.
Even though many people still looked similar to him, at least he could be recognized. In the entire cultivation world, his looks could be considered above average.
"Could it be that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?"
Xin Qianqian's small face couldn't help but blush slightly. Then, she quickly suppressed the thought. She used to think it was just a joke, but she didn't expect it to be so accurate!
"Junior Sister Xin, have you encountered any bottlenecks in your cultivation?" Fang Jinyu was ready to return the favor after receiving the news.
Xin Qianqian indeed encountered a small bottleneck in her cultivation. Although Fang Jinyu had explained a lot last time, it didn't inspire her much. After all, it was a point raised in response to what her aunt had said.
A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would immediately understand his words. Still, she was only at rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, not to mention that she had just broken through a few months ago.
Afterward, Xin Qianqian began to talk about the problems she faced in her cultivation. Fang Jinyu answered her questions carefully and even pointed out a few mistakes in her cultivation based on his own experience.
Although Fang Jinyu wasn't a genius and had only realized his cultivation's mistakes through the gains in understanding, the perception had already been integrated into his thoughts. In addition, he had now broken through rank 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage. From a commanding position, he naturally understood Xin Qianqian's bottleneck at a glance.
"But in the end, my cheat and I are still amazing!"
As always, Fang Jinyu boasted shamelessly in his heart.
"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Fang. I feel like I'll be able to break through the Foundation Establishment stage after a period of closed-door cultivation!" Xin Qianqian was overjoyed. She had been confused about breaking through the Foundation Establishment before, but Fang Jinyu's words suddenly enlightened her. She felt that her cultivation path would be smoother, so she looked at Fang Jinyu with an even fiery gaze, as if she were a demoness who wanted to eat Fang Jinyu up in one bite.
"Then I'll congratulate you first, Junior Sister Xin." Although Fang Jinyu said it, she couldn't bear her gaze and quickly found an excuse to run away.
"Senior Brother Fang is still too kind and honest. After I break through the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll have to take the initiative to pursue him…" Xin Qianqian looked at Fang Jinyu's departing back and made up her mind.
After all, the cultivation method she cultivated was rather special. If she wanted to advance further after breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage, she had to dual cultivate with someone else.
Since it was something that would happen sooner or later, Xin Qianqian was mentally prepared for it.
"It just so happens that my senior sister has a few erotic books I haven't read before. I'll go and read them in secret in a few days." Xin Qianqian blushed.
Naturally, Fang Jinyu was unaware that someone was lusting after him. He returned to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" and prepared to start refining the Core Spirit Elixir.
If he could refine seven or eight Core Spirit Elixirs, he could break through to rank 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage within half a year!
It was the magical effect of the Core Spirit Elixir.
However, two letters were placed in front of him before Fang Jinyu could even collect all the supplementary ingredients for the Core Spirit Elixir. One was a letter of challenge—a letter of challenge from Qin Haoyue. As for the other letter, it didn't mention the writer. It only had a crooked line of words, "Brother, come to the Spirit Beasts Valley as soon as possible."
"Who sent the second letter?" Fang Jinyu asked Mount Lingyao's disciple who had brought him the letter.
"Martial Uncle Fang, the letter was sent by spirit sparrows with some intelligence."

The Myriad Transformation Technique
The second letter was indeed from San Sun. After Fang Jinyu arrived, as an unlucky chicken was beheaded, a black spirit pig, a blackbird, and a black-robed cultivator considered their brotherhood complete.
"Eldest brother, second brother."
...
"Eldest brother, third brother."
"Second brother, third brother."
After greeting each other, a huge black spirit pig trotter and a blackbird wing grabbed Fang Jinyu's shoulders. Then, to Fang Jinyu's bewilderment, the black spirit pig and blackbird took out a green Hundred-Treasure Box.
When Fang Jinyu opened it, he discovered there were 30 Foundation Establishment Fruits inside.
Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ask, "Do you want me to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir?"
"This stupid bird's few female friends need it."
"It's this stupid bird that needs a few female friends." Dao Wusan pointed at San Sun, who was standing at the side. Dao Wu San was the name of the Core Formation stage black spirit pig.
As for why it had such a name? It was because the king of black spirit pigs was called Dao Wuyi.
Fang Jinyu said, "The Foundation Establishment Elixir isn't useful for all spirit beasts, especially for spirit birds. Elixirs with powerful spirit energy will be better for them."
Since Fang Jinyu studied alchemy for almost half a year, he started to know more about alchemy.
After all, species other than humans might look for an alchemist to refine elixirs.
Dao Wusan grinned and said, "This stupid bird's female friends are all humans."
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
Fang Jinyu thought, "Nowadays, do cultivators like to play such an exciting thing?"
Thus, Fang Jinyu, who felt that he had grown old, could only ask, "Then how many Foundation Establishment Elixirs do you need, second brother?"
San Sun flapped its wing and said, "Not many. Ten is enough." San Sun thought, "I have no choice since I have too many female confidants."
Fang Jinyu nodded and said, "No problem." Meanwhile, his eyes flickered as he thought, "With having 30 Foundation Establishment Fruits as a shield, I can finally sell the Foundation Establishment Elixirs I have."
The Foundation Establishment Fruits couldn't be stored for long, just like the Foundation Establishment Elixirs. However, the Foundation Establishment Fruits could be stored for as long as ten years at the cost of reducing their medicinal properties by half.
A Foundation Establishment Fruit that had lost most of its medicinal properties was considered a waste to other alchemists and could no longer be used for alchemy.
However, Fang Jinyu could still refine them into Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
It was because Fang Jinyu had already achieved perfection in refining the Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
Meanwhile, Dao Wusan said, "Third brother, if you have any extra, give me two."
Fang Jinyu could not help but look at the black spirit pig strangely.
"Is it because the Foundation Establishment Elixirs I gave you last time weren't enough?"
However, Dao Wusan started to stammer.
"His close female friend's son needs the Foundation Establishment Elixir." Seeing it, San Sun immediately exposed Dao Wusan.
Fang Jinyu finally understood why they could get along and have such a good relationship. It was because they were jackals from the same tribe!
"No problem," Fang Jinyu said.
Fang Jinyu immediately agreed and left under the pretense of refining elixirs.
The next day, Fang Jinyu sent over 20 elixirs.
Fang Jinyu still sent extra elixirs to them.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu, who had gained a favorable impression of them, finally understood why they had so many Foundation Establishment Fruits. They discovered a Foundation Establishment Fruit tree two years ago that had grown for over a thousand years. Ultimately, they had joined hands and hidden it. Every time they needed it, he would take some Foundation Establishment Fruits and claim they bought them from the Spirit Beasts City.
It was also the reason why San Sun went to Spirit Beasts City.
However, all the Foundation Establishment Fruits on the tree had now been picked. Furthermore, the Foundation Establishment Fruit tree couldn't produce fruit for ten years since it was affected by the shifting spiritual energy.
"A thousand-year-old Foundation Establishment Fruit tree has enough spiritual energy to produce 200 to 300 Foundation Establishment Fruits at once. However, there are only 70 fruits this time…."
Fang Jinyu finally realized the severity of the consequences of the reduction in the harvest of Foundation Establishment Fruits.
Suppose the shifting spiritual energy could affect a thousand-year-old Foundation Establishment Fruit tree. What about the situation for the Foundation Establishment Fruit tree that had only grown for a hundred years? A dozen fruits would be considered a great fortune if they could be produced.
As for the Foundation Establishment Fruit tree that hadn't even grown a hundred years, it couldn't withstand the shifting spiritual energy.
Fang Jinyu glanced at the letter in his hand.
It was obviously Qin Haoyue's letter of challenge. The Tianling Sect strictly forbade their disciples from fighting in private, but they didn't ban public challenges.
However, a public challenge had to go through a declaration process. It would take at least one month.
"As expected of one of Su Yier's bootlickers…." Fang Jinyu thought for a moment. Afterward, he looked at the remaining Foundation Establishment Elixirs and Foundation Establishment Fruits in his hands. Suddenly, he came up with an idea.
If he really did that, his reputation as a kind and honest man would be completely spread throughout the 72 peaks of the Tianling Sect. He might even become popular outside the sect…
Thus, Fang Jinyu rejected the idea.
Although he was trying to maintain his image as a kind and honest man, he didn't want to become famous because of it! Moreover, if he really did that, he wouldn't just be making an enemy of Qin Haoyue. He would be making an enemy of the Qin family.
The Qin family could be considered a noble cultivation family in Nine Desolations.
There were rumors that the Qin family once had a Nascent Soul stage cultivator! Therefore, there was a hidden energy in the Qin family's headquarters that could threaten the Nascent Soul stage cultivators!
"With the Qin family's background, the public challenge must go through the one-month declaration process. After all, it's the rule set by the Grandmaster. If that's the case, I'll be able to take the opportunity to cultivate that great divine power."
The great divine power that Fang Jinyu was referring to was the one recorded in the supreme wind-thunder scripture. It required the cultivator to rank 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage—the myriad transformation technique!
Cultivating the myriad transformation technique would require many spiritual items, including rare items.
Initially, Fang Jinyu wanted to collect all the required items in the Lingdu Secret Realm. However, he was immediately thrown out of the Lingdu Secret Realm after he obtained two magic treasures. Fortunately, the items were found by the sect's disciples, and they all contributed to the sect in exchange for merit points.
It was because, not long ago, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster suddenly ordered that disciples only use their merit points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the Tianling Sect from now on. Although most inner disciples didn't know what happened, they thought the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was pitying the difficulty of cultivation for the ordinary disciples when they saw the method was more cost-effective in using merit points to exchange for it. Hence, everyone was grateful.
It was naturally a piece of good news to Fang Jinyu. Many spiritual items that he couldn't exchange previously could now be exchanged.
When Fang Jinyu collected all the spiritual items, he began cultivating the wind-attribute great divine powers.
Although the supreme wind-thunder scripture contained lightning-attribute great divine powers, lightning-attribute spiritual items were exceedingly rare. Hence, even though Fang Jinyu knew the lightning-attribute great divine powers were more powerful, he could only choose to cultivate the wind-attribute great divine powers.
As the saying goes, "A clever homemaker couldn't cook without rice."
The myriad transformation technique was a great divine power that could both attack and defend. Moreover, it could improve Fang Jinyu's speed. Fang Jinyu could even use his wind-attribute spiritual root to experience the Nascent Soul stage cultivator's unique technique of switching between reality and illusion in advance when he successfully cultivated the great divine power.
It would be challenging to develop such incredible power, though.
Fortunately, both Fang Jinyu and his cheats were powerful.
Thus, after half a month, Fang Jinyu emerged from his closed-door cultivation. With his hard work and perseverance, he had finally reached the beginner level in cultivating the myriad transformation technique!

Experience the "Wordly" Cultivation World From the Start
At Mount Shidao.
Mount Shidao was a unique peak among the 72 peaks of the Tianling Sect. Since there were only a few disciples on the peak, disciples would only go to the peak when they wanted to fight publicly.
...
There was no such thing as the middle or the top of the mountain on the battle path. It was because one would see stone pillars after going up for a while. Moreover, round platforms were hanging between the stone pillars.
There were no stairs around the round platforms that were convenient for climbing up.
Hence, those who could compete on such a high platform were usually Tianling Sect's Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
It also caused many Qi Condensation stage disciples would go to Mount Shidao and watch whenever someone wanted to compete there. At times, even a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators went to Mount Shidao to watch the battle.
Meanwhile, Mount Shidao was crowded with many disciples.
It was because there had been rumors that someone competing on the stage this time was the young master of the Qin family, a major aristocratic family, Qin Haoyue!
Qin Haoyue was one of the influential people in the sect since the day he joined sect.
His Foundation Establishment stage martial uncles were willing to respect him. Moreover, he would be summoned by the sect leader occasionally. Sometimes, he would even participate in some activities on behalf of the sect as an outstanding disciple.
Qin Haoyue, born with a silver spoon, was destined to have extraordinary achievements from the moment he was born.
After all, Qin Haoyue's background allowed him to have many cultivation resources.
For example, the Foundation Establishment Elixir was extremely difficult for ordinary disciples to obtain. However, not only could Qin Haoyue get three or four elixirs from the Tianling Sect, but he could even get another three or four elixirs from the Qin family.
Moreover, Qin Haoyue could easily buy two or three Foundation Establishment Elixirs, which cost 30000 spirit stones each.
Even a cultivator with five-element spiritual roots would have a chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage with so many Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
Not to mention, Qin Haoyue had a single-element spiritual root.
In other words, he had the Tianling spiritual root.
Although Qin Haoyue didn't have to enter the Lingdu Secret Realm to break through the Foundation Establishment stage, the Tianling Sect still gave him a chance.
The cultivation world was not just about fighting and killing. It was also very worldly.
As such, someone immediately taught Fang Jinyu a lesson about the ways of the world when he arrived.
"Junior Brother Fang, although I don't know how you and Junior Brother Qin became enemies, I advise you to admit defeat later. I've been down this road before. I suggest you endure and take a step back to make everything back to normal!" As the competition's judge, a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage had already been biased before the competition started.
Although he didn't speak rashly and even smiled while talking, it was obvious that he was warning Fang Jinyu.
"Senior, may I know your name?" Fang Jinyu had already activated the Discipline Pearl.
"You can call me Senior Brother Chen!" The cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage didn't bother to speak to Fang Jinyu. After all, he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivator! If Fang Jinyu weren't an alchemist, he would treat him even more rudely!
Fang Jinyu nodded naturally and said, "So it's Senior Brother Chen." After all, who wasn't an actor?
Seeing the scene, the cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage assumed that Fang Jinyu had agreed with him and turned to leave since he had to welcome Qin Haoyue. After all, from his point of view, even if Fang Jinyu came from a noble family, he would have to act like a coward and obediently admit defeat when he got on the battle stage.
Not to mention that Fang Jinyu didn't come from a noble family.
Fang Jinyu's parents had sacrificed their lives for the Tianling Sect. Since they had already died, no matter how their fellow sect disciples praised them, what influence would they have?
When Fang Jinyu watched "Senior Brother Chen" leave, he seemed to fall into deep thought. At this moment, two Qi Condensation stage disciples came over.
They were two young female disciples around 13 years old. One of them had a small, round face and looked a little dazed. The other had her eyes wide open, like a curious baby.
"Senior Brother, can we ask you something?" The two girls asked timidly.
Fang Jinyu glanced at them. One ranked 3 in the Qi Condensation stage, while the other ranked 2 in the Qi Condensation stage. He immediately knew the situation and thought, "They should be disciples who just entered the sect. No wonder they can't even sense my cultivation base."
Therefore, Fang Jinyu smiled and asked without pointing out his cultivation base, "Junior Sisters, please ask."
After all, teasing newbies was an extremely interesting thing.
"Senior Brother, who do you think we should bet on for the game they're playing? What are the chances of winning?" The two girls were overjoyed to see that Fang Jinyu was willing to talk to them.
Since their cultivation base was too weak, they didn't have many spirit stones, and they weren't from any aristocratic families, so the senior brothers and sisters here were unwilling to talk to them.
"A bet?" Fang Jinyu was stunned at first, but then he realized that it was most likely about him and Qin Haoyue. Hence, he laughed and said, "Of course, you should bet on that Martial Uncle Fang!"
"But that Martial Uncle Fang's odds are so high, it's 1:10! As for that Martial Uncle Qin, it's only 1:1!"
The higher the odds, the higher the probability of losing. Those who bet on the high odds would usually be giving away money.
Fang Jinyu's eyes narrowed.
Fang Jinyu thought, "It's fine that you guys bet on me, but why the heck are they all betting on me losing?"
"Did they look down on me that much?"
Hence, after glancing at the two girls, Fang Jinyu calmly said, "Junior Sisters, there's something you don't know. Martial Uncle Fang is an alchemist. He might have some powerful spirit tools with him!"
Fang Jinyu did have a powerful spirit tool with him. However, it was an array-formation spirit tool that he had obtained from the scam of the dark market.
Although it was powerful, it was also considered quite weak.
"Wow! It turns out that Martial Uncle Fang is an alchemist!" The two girls gasped in surprise, looked at each other, and immediately thanked Fang Jinyu, "Senior Brother, thank you for your guidance!"
The two girls rushed out to place the spirit stones on the table, then returned to Fang Jinyu's side and thanked him again.
It was because they felt that this "Senior Brother" was easy to talk to. Hence, they chose to stay with Fang Jinyu in a place they were unfamiliar with.
At this moment, they saw a purple figure flying toward them. After exclaiming, they found out that he was the "Martial Uncle Qin." They looked at Fang Jinyu and whispered, "Senior Brother, Martial Uncle Qin is here, but why isn't Martial Uncle Fang here yet?"
After all, the two of them had bet their fortune on that "Martial Uncle Fang," so they couldn't help but be concerned.
"He arrived a long time ago."
Fang Jinyu grinned, then threw out a spirit tool. Afterward, he transformed into a ray of light and landed on the platform.
The two girls, who were already in a daze, were speechless.
Although they had just entered the sect and were mortals who had never come into contact with cultivation, they had already learned that only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could fly on spirit tools.
The two girls immediately sensed the impulsive addiction of the seniors in the cultivation world.
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu had stepped onto the battle stage. He looked at Qin Haoyue's smug face and felt a little displeased, so he deliberately said, "Martial Nephew Qin is indeed a trustworthy person."
"Shut up! Junior Brother Qin is already a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Fang Jinyu, what the heck are you doing?" Before Qin Haoyue could speak, the judge, "Senior Brother Chen," immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

This Lovesick Guy Is Hopeless
"Oh! Look at me! I'd forgotten it! After we parted at the Lingdu Secret Realm, I was so focused on refining elixirs that I forgot that Junior Brother Qin had already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage. I sincerely congratulate you. As expected of having the Qin family's Tianling spiritual root." Fang Jinyu feigned shock and embarrassment as if he wasn't mocking him.
Qin Haoyue looked as expressionless as before. With his extremely handsome face, he had the temperament of an iceberg man.
...
After all, Qin Haoyue was born into the Qin family. Usually, these noble cultivation families would marry beautiful women for generations, so how could their descendants be lacking in appearance? If an ugly descendant was born, their father must be someone else.
At this moment, Qin Haoyue's eyes were filled with killing intent.
It was because Fang Jinyu appeared at Mount Shidao safe and sound had made him lost his dignity.
When Qin Haoyue had just broken through the Foundation Establishment stage, his father gave him a mission to get rid of Fang Jinyu. It was one of the tests for him to become the future head of the Qin family. The mission was set not because Qin Haoyue's father had a grudge against Fang Jinyu. The two of them had never even met before. The mission was set because, after Qin Haoyue's father's investigation, he discovered that Fang Jinyu could help Qin Haoyue establish his authority.
Fang Jinyu had just broken through the Foundation Establishment stage and was talented in alchemy, so he was pretty famous. With such a person as an opponent, it wouldn't seem like Qin Haoyue was bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but it would also highlight Qin Haoyue's ability.
Although Qin Haoyue's father was the current head of the Qin family, the next head might not necessarily be Qin Haoyue. If Qin Haoyue wanted to be the head of the family, other than having a cultivation base that met the standard, his ability also needed to be acknowledged by the Qin family.
Qin Haoyue didn't treat Fang Jinyu as his opponent at all. He previously thought he could easily get rid of Fang Jinyu with a trick by using the three foreign masters. Everything had gone smoothly, and he even thought that Fang Jinyu was an idiot who had sent himself to the underground spirit vein to mine for spirit stones.
However, nobody expected that the idiot would need to complete a mission from the Grandmaster!
It wasn't difficult for Qin Haoyue to find out about it, but he didn't know the Grandmaster's mission for Fang Jinyu. It was because Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were willing to respect him, but the Core Formation stage cultivators might not!
However, Qin Haoyue didn't care about it.
"You should die!" Qin Haoyue looked at Fang Jinyu coldly as if he was looking at an ant.
"Junior Brother Qin, why do you say that?"
Even though Fang Jinyu knew that love was unreasonable, he couldn't help but feel sarcastic. He thought, "What kind of lunatic is he?!"
"You've offended Junior Sister Su and made her unhappy. That's a capital crime!" Qin Haoyue spoke coldly, his tone filled with a "how dare you touch my woman" kind of domineering feeling.
Fang Jinyu's mouth twitched again, and he quickly explained, "I don't have any relationship with Junior Sister Su. Junior Brother Qin, please don't misunderstand."
Fang Jinyu had said it on purpose.
His goal was simple, to anger Qin Haoyue.
As soon as Fang Jinyu finished speaking, Qin Haoyue's expression became gloomy, as if he had eaten a fly. If Qin Haoyue could kill people with his eyes, he would have hacked Fang Jinyu to death before whipping his corpse.
Meanwhile, Senior Brother Chen, who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, started feeling strange.
Senior Brother Chen initially thought that Fang Jinyu and Qin Haoyue had some old enmity, but he didn't expect it all because of a woman!
Senior Brother Chen thought, "I wonder what kind of person this Junior Sister Su is. What kind of person is she to make even Junior Brother Qin likes her so much that he even fights with someone for her?"
Luckily, Qin Haoyue didn't know how to read people's minds. Otherwise, there would be one more person to whip the corpse later.
"You're looking for death!"
Qin Haoyue said coldly. Then, a burst of intense spiritual light burst out from his hand. It was a long sword. The sword was crystal clear, and there was something like magma flowing inside.
It was a superior-tier spirit tool.
Fang Jinyu's heart skipped a beat. He thought, "Qin Haoyue is indeed a rich man. Even an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivator won't have a superior-tier spirit tool. Still, this guy had one when he had just broken through the Foundation Establishment stage."
Suddenly, Qin Haoyue slashed out with his sword, and a burning sensation exploded. Fire immediately ignited the high platform.
It wasn't an ordinary flame.
It was the spiritual fire!
Even though it wasn't a famous spiritual fire, it could easily kill a mid-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, let alone an early-stage one.
Qin Haoyue had come with the intent to kill.
However, before the spiritual fire could even get close to Fang Jinyu, a strong gust of wind appeared around him, forming a small tornado that swept the spiritual fire into the sky.
It was the myriad transformation technique!
Then, the tornadoes with the spiritual fire gathered together and formed a huge figure similar to Fang Jinyu.
Although the huge figure was blurry, the 30-foot shadow was like a figure of a Core Formation stage cultivator.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the huge figure smashed down with a fist.
The punch wasn't terrifying, but the spiritual fire within it made people's scalps numb.
"What?"
Finally, Qin Haoyue couldn't maintain his cold expression anymore. He couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. It was his father's famous spirit tool back then. The spiritual fire in it complemented his fire-attribute Tianling spiritual root and worked well together. It made it so that even if he was only ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage, he could still unleash an extremely shocking killing power.
Qin Haoyue could kill an early-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with just one strike.
Qin Haoyue never expected that a spell would control the spiritual fire of the sword.
Fortunately, the spiritual fire was still under his control. Qin Haoyue stretched out his hand to make a hand seal and wiped it on the sword, and the spiritual fire returned to its original position.
Fang Jinyu had no choice but to dispel the huge shadow.
It was because Fang Jinyu couldn't maintain the huge figure as he pleased with his current inner energy.
However, Fang Jinyu was satisfied with his first test of great divine power.
If not for the great divine power, Fang Jinyu would have been seriously injured by the spiritual fire even if he had admitted defeat in time. If he is unlucky, he may fall from the foundation establishment stage.
After all, the spiritual fire was a magical power that only late-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could master!
"This guy wants to kill me?" Although it was within Fang Jinyu's expectations, he was still left speechless after confirming it.
Fang Jinyu thought, "Do the two of us have any enmity?"
"At most, it's just a little conflict!"
"What kind of lunatic is he?!"
According to the incident that happened before the opening of the Lingdu Secret Realm that day, although Fang Jinyu had the intention to steal other people's opportunities, in the end, it was an inexplicable enmity.
As for adding fuel to the fire, Fang Jinyu completely ignored his actions.
He didn't do anything wrong anyway!
"It's a pity that I can't kill him in public. If I kill him, I'll be in big trouble." With that in mind, Fang Jinyu waved his hand.
Immediately, a wind blade with a terrifying aura appeared in front of Qin Haoyue.
The sudden change made Qin Haoyue's expression pale with fright, and he hurriedly brandished his sword. He had activated the spiritual fire just now, wanting to succeed in one fell swoop. When Qin Haoyue wanted to activate the superior-tier spirit tool again, his face instantly turned pale.
It was a sign that he didn't have enough inner energy.
The power of the spiritual fire was extremely great. How could a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage not have to pay the price for using it?
However, even though Qin Haoyue lacked inner energy, he still managed to destroy the wind blades with a swing of his sword. However, Qin Haoyue wasn't happy because he knew he had fallen into a trap.
The wind blades were only used to attract his attention.
Sure enough, the next moment, Qin Haoyue felt a sharp pain in his butt, and his whole body flew up. Someone had taken advantage of his lack of inner energy and kicked him off the high platform.
As Qin Haoyue descended from the platform, he heard a voice coming from the platform, "Junior Brother Qin, thank you for letting me win."

This Is How the Authentic Spirit Bloodline Came About
Qin Haoyue's inner energy was running low, and so was Fang Jinyu's. Although Fang Jinyu was a cultivator who ranked 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage, the myriad transformation technique required much of his inner energy. The moment he used it, his Foundation Establishment stage inner energy would instantly be reduced by two-thirds!
Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could cultivate great divine powers. However, the great divine powers were unpredictable, and it was easy to cause one's inner energy to be insufficient. Hence, it could be a great hindrance to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
...
For example, Qin Haoyue's situation just now. Once he used the spiritual fire, cultivators who ranked below rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage would only be defeated and flee.
However, Qin Haoyue could only use the technique once in a short period of time.
The fallen Qin Haoyue naturally had someone to save him. However, since everyone saw Fang Jinyu defeat Qin Haoyue, even if Senior Brother Chen, who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, wanted to fake the results, he couldn't do it.
It was because the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster of the Tianling Sect set the rules of competing on Mount Shidao. The last person who dared to fake the results was a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage and was about to break through the Core Formation stage. However, he was punished by mining a million spirit stones, which later delayed his core formation time and caused him to fail.
Fang Jinyu didn't care about people betting on him, but this time, if nothing unexpected happened, many unlucky people would lose.
"Although the myriad transformation technique is powerful, and it can even temporarily control spiritual fire, it requires too much inner energy. If I want to use it as I please, I'm afraid I can wait until I break through the Core Formation stage."
Fang Jinyu frowned slightly. Although he had won against Qin Haoyue, he had only won because he had more inner energy than Qin Haoyue.
The might of the superior-tier spirit tool still made Fang Jinyu's heart palpitate.
"Later, Su Yier will get a few more spirit tools, but they're all middle-tier spirit tools. Although there's a lightning-attribute spirit tool among them, the place Su Yier obtains it is too far away from Tianling Sect. It's not worth it to me." Fang Jinyu wanted to increase his strength. After all, although he didn't cause trouble, Su Yier's admirers were too unreasonable.
Moreover, it was obvious that Qin Haoyue wouldn't give up just like that.
"I wonder if Su Yier's master knows about Qin Haoyue and Su Yier's relationship?" Fang Jinyu's eyes glowed with ferocity.
Later, the Qin family would greatly benefit from the price increase of the Foundation Establishment Elixir. If Fang Jinyu followed his plan, the Qin family would be fine, but Qin Haoyue would definitely be in trouble.
When the Qin family couldn't provide the Foundation Establishment Elixirs to the Tianling Sect, they weren't eligible to make Su Yier's master swallow his anger!
Qin Haoyue must have eaten the forbidden fruit with Su Yier in the Lingdu Secret Realm because the book that appeared shortly had a detailed description of the scene. It even mentioned the location of Su Yier's birthmark.
However, the crucial point was that the book didn't mention how Su Yier's master knew about it.
"It seems I can only wait for Su Yier to leave the Tianling Sect."
Su Yier must have had a falling out with her master when she left Tianling Sect, which meant that her master knew about her relationship with Qin Haoyue.
Fang Jinyu returned to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" and prepared to start refining the Core Spirit Elixir.
After Fang Jinyu had previously cultivated the great divine power of the myriad transformation technique, he noticed there were still seven or eight days left before the battle with Qin Haoyue. Hence, he collected the spirit herbs needed for refining the Core Spirit Elixir.
Perhaps the Core Spirit Elixir was too special, as some of the ingredients had taken Fang Jinyu a lot of effort to collect.
With his previous insights, Fang Jinyu had already grasped the essence of refining the Core Spirit Elixir. The first batch was successful, and he obtained eight Core Spirit Elixirs. It immediately put Fang Jinyu in a good mood.
Meanwhile, a Mount Lingyao disciple reported that two female disciples had come to see him to express their gratitude.
"Thank me?"
Fang Jinyu was surprised, but he was in a good mood, so he went out to take a look. He discovered that it was the two muddled girls he had met previously.
"Disciple Lei Qianqian."
"Disciple Lei Yingying."
"Thank you so much, Martial Uncle Fang!"
Meanwhile, the two young ladies were excitedly expressing their gratitude to Fang Jinyu, and they were just short of kneeling to pay their respects.
"You all have the same surname, Lei?"
When Fang Jinyu heard the two names, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. It was as if he had a similar impression, but he couldn't recall it. So he brushed the matter aside and asked with a smile, "How many spirit stones did you two win?"
"Martial Uncle Fang, we won twenty spirit stones!" The two girls said excitedly, "Now, we can finally go and buy a Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir!"
Hearing it, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ask, "A Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir? Isn't that ten spirit stones for one?"
Fang Jinyu had refined quite a few before, so he was very clear about the price.
"But, the senior brother in charge of teaching us said it needed twenty spirit stones…." The two girls were stunned.
Fang Jinyu looked at the two of them and immediately understood the situation.
Fang Jinyu asked, "Did you two come into contact with cultivation before you joined the Tianling Sect? And you're not living in Yuan City?" The former Fang Jinyu had heard of disciples with a higher cultivation base who would take advantage of the lack of information to exploit new disciples.
Some intelligent people wouldn't fall for a trick.
However, some disciples, who lacked experience, would be easily deceived due to the seniority of their senior brothers and sisters.
"Martial Uncle Fang, how did you know? Qianqian and I used to live in the same village! However, there were only us and our grandmother in the village. After our grandmother passed away, the two of us left the village and happened to meet a martial uncle. The martial uncle saw our spiritual roots and brought us back to the Tianling Sect." The two girls were surprised when they heard it. Meanwhile, they couldn't help but tell Fang Jinyu about their origins.
Fang Jinyu looked at the two girls, who didn't seem to be scheming with him, and suddenly fell silent.
It was because Fang Jinyu recalled his memories.
At the same time, he also understood why he felt a sense of familiarity with these two girls, both named Lei.
If one were to rank the unlucky characters in the book, these two would be in the top ten.
The spiritual roots of these two girls were very ordinary. They only had three attributes, but they had the bloodline of an ancient authentic spirit, which was rare in the Nine Desolations. In the future, they would activate their authentic spirit bloodline, display their authentic spirit's great divine powers, and become popular in the Tianling Sect.
After that, these two unlucky girls accidentally stepped into the devil's realm because they went out with the female lead, Su Yier. They were captured by the Devil Supreme of the devil race and were used to refine magic treasures.
Later, the Devil Supreme fell in love with Su Yier, giving her the magic treasures refined by her two junior sisters.
At first, Su Yier didn't know about it, but when she discovered it, she broke up with the Devil Supreme in anger, and the Devil Supreme was in pain and regret.
After that…
After that, the plot cleared Devil Supreme's reputation.
After all, even though the two unlucky girls had lost their lives, the Devil Supreme had lost his love!
Fang Jinyu shook his head as he thought of the following shitty plot. He took out a bottle of elixirs and said, "I have a bottle of Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir, and I don't need them anymore, so I'll give them to you."
Fang Jinyu could only express his helplessness toward the two unlucky girls.
After sending off the two girls, the sky gradually darkened.
The familiar text box appeared again.
[Today is when you're not afraid of power, bravely confront the second generation, and are willing to help others.]
