I Became A Cannon Fodder In A Female Protagonist Cultivation Novel

96 Sect Leader Fang Takes Office

“Do you still dare do it next time?”

“I dare to!”

“What a stubborn person.” Fang Jinyu casually stuffed a lively thunder-attribute frog into Xin Qianqian’s arms.

“Aah! Boo-hoo! Senior brother, I was wrong. I won’t dare do it again!”

Fang Jinyu only caught the thunder-attribute frog after seeing the young girl being scared. After he obtained gains in the lightning technique, the ordinary thunder-attribute frog could no longer be dangerous to him.

Even if it spat out lightning, it wouldn’t affect Fang Jinyu at all.

A certain young girl was angry but didn’t dare to say anything. However, when she looked at the pile of thunder-attribute frogs, she decided to “endure the humiliation to carry out important tasks.” She cultivated a rather special spell. Even though it was more powerful after her grandmother had corrected the flaws, she was particularly afraid of lightning-attribute objects before she reached the phenomenal success level.

Therefore, she could only wait until she broke through the Core Formation stage before she regained her authority as a wife!

At that time, as long as it was a lightning technique, she would be immune to half of its power!

Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but mock, “Does the immortal sect in the upper realm specialize in rearing thunder-attribute frogs?” It was because there were simply too many thunder-attribute frogs in the secret realm.

However, the one that was blocking the entrance to the secret realm was still unique.

As for the other thunder-attribute frogs, they were getting worse and worse. The last thunder-attribute frog found in the secret realm was almost the same as the usual thunder-attribute frogs. It only had the characteristic of roaring like thunder and nothing else.

The only advantage was that the meat was delicious.

Of course, in the thunder-attribute frog race, it wasn’t an advantage.

Xin Qianqian said with a bitter expression, “I don’t know either. Although my grandmother has regained some of her memories, she has lost most of them. After all, she is only a wisp of her soul. It is already difficult for her to regain her life force.” If she hadn’t come to the secret realm, she wouldn’t have lost her reputation.

Yet, Xin Qianqian didn’t get any benefits!

It was because the thunder-attribute frogs had eaten everything in the secret realm.

As for those array formations and restrictions, when they were broken, they disintegrated on their own, leaving no residue behind.

“Senior brother, here you go. This half of the Lightning Core.”

Xin Qianqian took out a strange Hundred-Treasure Box and handed it to Fang Jinyu. It was the only treasure that had been preserved in the secret realm. She had to put in a lot of work to unseal it because it had been sealed using a Cihang Sect secret technique from the upper realm.

“The Lightning Core?”

Fang Jinyu opened the box, and a blinding flash of lightning entered his eyes. He quickly sealed the Hundred-Treasure Box.

Xin Qianqian explained, “My grandmother said that it is something that can only be obtained after hunting the authentic spirits. Originally, there was a complete one, but when she brought it down, an elder’s disciple needed it, so he asked for half, leaving only this half of the Lightning Core.”

Hunting authentic spirits!

Fang Jinyu’s heart skipped a beat. He had only obtained a small amount of authentic spirit bloodline, but his power had increased so much. However, why could the upper realm even hunt authentic spirits?

Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but ask, “What are the authentic spirits?”

“Let me ask my grandmother.” Xin Qianqian didn’t know either. After a while, she received a reply from her grandmother’s remnant soul and said with a complicated expression, “If a Nascent Soul stage cultivator has a strong bloodline, he can transform into an authentic spirit. However, if he has a weak bloodline, he’ll be in the Incarnation stage.”

Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but be shocked.

Could Nascent Soul stage cultivators be killed?

Fang Jinyu could only say that the upper realm was worthy of being strong.

The reason why the various immortal sects in the Nine Desolations were so peaceful was that the various Nascent Soul stage cultivators couldn’t do anything to each other.

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t kill an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He could only defeat or suppress a portion of their cultivation base.

Therefore, there was no need to fight to the death.

Xin Qianqian said as she winked at Fang Jinyu, “Senior brother, why do I suddenly feel that the upper realm is very scary?! Even one with the authentic spirit bloodline… Oh! It’s already an authentic spirit, which is equivalent to being able to kill Nascent Soul stage cultivators!”

“It’s quite scary.”

Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but say it. It had broken the “law” of the Nine Desolations that Nascent Soul stage cultivators couldn’t be killed.

According to the upper realm’s stronger theory, it was bad to be an Incarnation stage cultivator, Nascent Soul stage cultivators were everywhere, and it was normal for Nascent Soul stage cultivators to be killed! However, Fang Jinyu still had two authentic spirit bloodlines!

It made him feel the same way for no reason!

It was as if this half of a Lightning Core had come out of his body!

Afterward, Fang Jinyu picked up the thunder-attribute frog that hadn’t run far and stuffed it into Xin Qianqian’s arms. He thought, “Did she really think that I don’t understand what her gaze means?”

Xin Qianqian knew that Fang Jinyu had two authentic spirit bloodlines.

Xin Qianqian was using it to tease Fang Jinyu!

“Aah! Boo-hoo! Senior brother, I was wrong. I won’t dare do it again!”

Some people just need to be taught a lesson.

…

A few days later, Fang Jinyu returned to the Tianling Sect. Following Xin Qianqian’s instructions, he absorbed the Lightning Core into his body, and his cultivation base immediately broke through to rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, such a forceful breakthrough also left behind many cultivation problems.

Fang Jinyu had spent half a year trying to sort out the matter.

Even so, Fang Jinyu was still overjoyed. According to his original cultivation plan, he would need three to four years to break through to rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Furthermore, half of the Lightning Core could help Fang Jinyu when he formed his core.

“However, if I want to form a first-grade core, I still need to understand the key points of cultivation.” Fang Jinyu was only confident enough to form a second-grade core, and it would happen when he used a bunch of external items.

Fang Jinyu had originally thought that two or three months would be enough for him to figure it out.

However, when winter arrived, Fang Jinyu was less than 30% confident that he could form a first-grade core.

Fang Jinyu was admiring the snow and was about to sigh at the difficulty of cultivation when he received two pieces of news.

...

First, Sect Leader Yan was dead!

Second, the person who killed Sect Leader Yan was Su Yier! Not only did she join the devil’s realm, but she also became a Core Formation stage cultivator!

“This woman is cheating, right?”

Fang Jinyu was stunned and thought, “Su Yier only has a quarter of her luck left. Why is she able to break through the Core Formation stage so quickly? Of the other three who had the same fate, the weak-looking Junior Sister Sun was only a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for Du Maner, she had only broken through the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago. Back then, I gave her a middle-grade spirit tool as a congratulatory gift.”

As for “protagonist number three,” Fang Jinyu didn’t know who she was.

It was because Fang Jinyu hadn’t obtained any information about “protagonist number three” from the system so far.

However, Fang Jinyu had a few guesses in mind.

However…

The Tianling Sect already had three “protagonists,” Su Yier, Du Maner, and the weak-looking Junior Sister Sun. It couldn’t be that “protagonist number three” was also in the Tianling Sect, right?

If that were the case, the Tianling Sect would be miserable…

If the main characters gathered together to play mahjong, it would be difficult for the sect not to be demolished!

...

Soon two more pieces of news came out.

First, the peak leader of Mount Lingjian, Ling Xiaojiu, betrayed the sect and left.

As for the second news, Fang Jinyu was elected as the new sect leader of the Tianling Sect!
