This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder-Novel

This Clone isn’t your Golden Finger 3

Fenghua waited by the cave entrance until Leng Junfeng awoke. During this time, she had already comprehended the martial cultivation method inscribed in the cavern walls. If it was complete, it might have caught her eyes. Unfortunately, one could only reach the Soul Nourishing Realm following this incomplete method.

Well, it’s not like I’m the one cultivating it. Besides, I’ll give that youngster a spiritual cultivation method. If he reached the Immortal Realm, my main body can accept him as a disciple.

Hehe, the time-flow in lower realms is usually faster. I wonder if this guy or my main body will reach the Immortal Realm first? Main Body, better hurry up and become immortal. Otherwise, your future in-name disciple might out cultivate you.

With a head full of evil thoughts, Fenghua told Leng Junfeng to learn the cultivation method carved into the walls.

“W-what is this?! This cultivation method is so powerful, much more powerful than my Leng Clan’s World Gale Body Method!”

Fenghua snorted. “How good can a cultivation method that is created based on a knockoff of a palm art be? There’s a reason you don’t create a method based on an attack.”

“Senior, take that back!” Leng Junfeng said. He acknowledged that this fox senior was powerful and was grateful for her aid, but he would not stand for anyone besmirching his clan, even if they helped him.

“Youngster, take a look at the cultivation at the wall. That is how a cultivation method should be. The Dragon Elephant Transformation Method aims to give you the physique close to the Dragon Elephant, a descendant of the Dragon Mammoth. Your Leng Clan’s cultivation method aims to cultivate a body that can unleash that Divine Wind Fist. No cultivation method should be structured around an attack.” Fenghua lectured.

Leng Junfeng pursed his lips, but he recognized the logic of Fenghua’s words but was unwilling to admit defeat.

“If it were even in a middle-rank realm, such folly would have caused your clan’s downfall long ago. If you can’t even withstand this little bit of truth, I advise you to give up.” Fenghua said.

Leng Junfeng grunted, but he still said no words.

Fenghua sighed. She felt like she was bullying a five-year-old, was the man in front of her really a teenager? Sure didn’t feel like it.

Whatever, I’ll cut him some slack. Youngster did just lose his whole clan, after all. Hopefully, he won’t turn into a revenge-obsessed emo like a certain ninja.

“Senior, will I really be able to learn this? I’m a cultivation cripple…” Leng Junfeng dejectedly said, lowering his head in shame.

“Did I not explain?” Fenghua tilted her fox head. “You possess the Broad Stream Physique. The weak cultivation method of this realm doesn’t suit you. Long story short, the Dragon Elephant Transformation Method is suitable for you to cultivate.”

“Senior,” Leng Junfeng’s eyes teared up with emotion. “You could’ve taken this method for yourself, but you left it for me. This grace, I will forever remember it!”

What the hell. I didn’t even know this place existed. But if you wanted to give me credit, I won’t push it away. Hehe, if you’re really a protagonist, amuse me then.

Fenghua paid Leng Junfeng no mind as she began to gather spiritual qi to heal her wounds. Although she seemed fine on the surface, numerous cracks existed on her spiritual core, resulting in her inability to resume her human form.

Leng Junfeng spent seven days and seven nights memorizing and comprehending the Dragon Elephant Transformation Method. When Leng Junfeng awoke from his daze, he had already reached the peak of the Skin Toughening Stage. The next step would be to enter the Muscle Strengthening Stage.

However, as a side effect, the teenager was suffering from extreme hunger. Had it not been for him entering the first stage, he would have likely died from dehydration from not drinking water.

Fenghua goodnaturedly brought out the food she had saved. She said saved, but it was really just the mountain animals she slaughtered whenever she felt like eating. Those who reached the Foundation Establishment Realm and above could subsist on spiritual qi alone.

Just as she started a fire, Leng Junfeng spoke up.”Senior, allow me. I may not be skilled in anything, but I’m pretty confident in my cooking.”

Fenghua shrugged and allowed him to roast the meat. She didn’t have much confidence in making the meat taste good without any seasonings, and she doubted Leng Junfeng could accomplish it either. She was quickly proven wrong as a tantalizing aroma reached her nose. Drool even began to pool under her mouth as she watched with rapt attention.

“It’s done.” Leng Junfeng said as he held up a leg of roasted deliciousness.

“Huh?” Leng Junfeng blinked as he realized that the meat in his hand had disappeared. Looking at Fenghua, he realized that it had been snatched too quickly for his eyes to see.

Leng Junfeng held back a chuckle as he watched the small fox struggle with the piece of meat that was nearly half her body size. Instead, Leng Junfeng quietly ate his own piece of meat and analyzed his own body.

The Dragon Elephant Transformation Method is amazing! In seven days, I was able to reach the peak of the Skin Toughening Stage. I remember that the record for the shortest time was six months! And I did it in a week!

Leng Junfeng did not realize the reason he was so fast was due to his special physique and Fenghua cultivating next to him. As a core formation master, when Fenghua cultivated, she would gather massive amounts of spiritual qi around her. He simply benefited from the circumstances, but he would not know the truth until years later.

“Now that was delicious. Not as delicious as the dishes I remembered before I split, but still delicious despite only being roasted with no salt.” Fenghua praised as she licked her paws. “Youngster, have you considered becoming an immortal chef?”

“Immortal chef?” Leng Junfeng repeated but quickly shook his head. Just from the name, he understood what kind of occupation it was. He wanted to avenge his clan, not feed his enemy.

“What a pity,” Fenghua said with no real disappointment. “Now that you’ve learned a martial cultivation method, it’s time to learn a spiritual method.”

“You mean the spiritual method spoken of in legends?” Leng Junfeng said, his breath becoming erratic from excitement.

“From legends? Spiritual cultivation methods are quite common in the Huang Realm. It is the mainstream, above martial cultivation methods.” Fenghua said to the shock of Leng Junfeng. “Anyways, I have a perfect cultivation method for you. It doesn’t seem that your world knows how to test spiritual veins, but let me tell you, you possess a heavenly wood spiritual vein. It is not one white inferior to your Broad Stream Physique. In fact, it is even rarer. You would be invited to peak powers just based on this alone.”

“Senior,” Leng Junfeng said, moved beyond tears. He did not understand what it meant to possess a heavenly spiritual vein, but he understood that Fenghua was telling him he was a rare cultivation talent. For him, who was a member of a cultivation clan and inhabitant of a world where strength prevails above all else, being a cultivation cripple had damaged his self-esteem.

Not a single person, not even his father, said he was average in cultivation, much less talented.

“Alright, alright, stop the waterworks. If you start to cry, I won’t teach you.” Fenghua said, not bearing to look at Leng Junfeng’s reddened eyes. If it was a girl, she might’ve cared, but too bad Leng Junfeng was a boy.

Leng Junfeng swiftly wiped his budding tears with his sleeves and looked at Fenghua with a never-before-seen seriousness on his face. “Senior—no, Master, please instruct your disciple!”

“Oy, aren’t you jumping the gun too fast? I don’t accept anyone as a disciple, you know. Your heavenly wood spiritual vein is certainly rare, but I also possess a heavenly spiritual vein. Not to mention that my main body is a member of the Huang Realm’s strongest sect and personally powerful too.” Fenghua said with disdain, but she was actually quite happy with Leng Junfeng’s actions. Since this was the Allfist Realm, Fenghua didn’t see much point in hiding her status as a clone anymore, but that didn’t mean she would inform unrelated people who her main body was.

“I understand. I will work hard to become worthy of being Senior’s disciple!” Leng Jungfeng said with the utmost enthusiasm.

“Not bad. For now, call me teacher. You can be my student.” Fenghua said.

“Understood, Teacher.” Leng Junfeng cupped his fist in a salute towards his new teacher.

“G-good,” Fenghua barely hid the excitement in her voice as she began to impart the Wood Book of the Five Element Method to Leng Junfeng. Don’t let me down, Leng Junfeng.

The Five Element Method was the most fundamental cultivation method and the most extraordinary cultivation method of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, excluding the Ten Heavenly Scriptures that existed since the creation of the universe. The Five Element Method was divided into five books, each correlating to the five elements: Fire Book, Water Book, Wood Book, Metal Book, and Earth Book.

Each of the five books was further divided into chapters from the Qi Gathering Realm to the Immortal Realm. Rumor has it that an immortal who mastered all five books would be able to cultivate the Five Phases Heavenly Scripture and enter the Divinity Realm. Still, the thought was far too distant for the current Fenghua.

Plus, she cultivated the Primogenitor Flame Scripture created by Sovereign Suiren of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so it did not concern her much.

What Fenghua was imparting was the Qi Gathering and Foundation Establishment Chapter to Leng Junfeng. The contents of the Core Formation Chapter and above were too massive and esoteric for a mortal like Leng Junfeng, so it was better for him to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm before imparting the Core Formation and Nascent Soul Chapters to him.

“T-this?!” Leng Junfeng stared at his hands in wonder. He had just awakened after digesting all the information he received, and he could barely hide his excitement.

In the Qi Gathering Realm, a cultivator mainly focused on condensing qi within their body. Although it didn’t directly allow them to externalize spiritual qi, it increased their qi reserves, something that would greatly aid martial cultivators. Although body transformation acolytes didn’t gain any special abilities either, their strength, stamina, and speed would increase with the extra qi within their bodies.

Leng Junfeng immediately closed his eyes and started to cultivate the Wood Book of the Five Element Method, but before he could, a tail slapped his forehead.

“Why’d you stop me, Teacher?” Leng Junfeng said, feeling aggrieved as he rubbed the increasingly red mark on his head.

“This place isn’t suitable. You possess a heavenly wood spiritual vein, so it’s best to cultivate in a place with plenty of plants.” Fenghua said.

“Teacher, do you know a place?” Leng Junfeng asked.

Fenghua smacked him again with her tail. “Idiot. That tree that grows the fruit you’re looking for is a good place for your current level. Although it can’t be considered the best, for a tree to bear fruit with some effects, the spiritual qi is plenty dense.”

“Alright, let’s go!” Leng Junfeng jumped to his feet and walked out of the shallow cave, only stopped. He stared up and then down, past the ledge before looking at Fenghua with a pitiful look. “Teacher, how do we leave? Don’t tell me we have to climb up?”

“Stupid.” Fenghua said with disdain, “You only now thought of this?”

His potential is top tier, but his brain needs more work. Fenghua thought with a sigh.

Walking towards the ledge, Fenghua rubbed her spatial ring, and an elaborate red dress appeared midair. It was beautiful, more beautiful than anything Leng Junfeng had seen before. Only it was a pity that the dress was riddled with tears and cuts.

This red dress was Fenghua’s lifebound artifact. To fully recover, she would need to mend the damages, but recalling what materials were used to forge this, Fenghua had a headache. Why did she think it was a good idea to use immortal rank materials to forge a lifebound artifact again?

Oh right, because it gave more potential, but it also made fixing any damages a hundred times harder. How could Fenghua expect to be plunged into the Vast Void?

Grrr, just looking at it makes me angry!

With a huff, Fenghua straightened the dress out so that it was like a carpet before jumping on it. “Come on, let’s go.”

Leng Junfeng stared at the floating dress and fox and pointed with shaking fingers. “T-Teacher, you’re a g-grandmaster?”

“Well, you can consider me the spiritual cultivation equivalent of a grandmaster,” Fenghua said, some disdain leaking into her voice.

Due to the cultivators of the Allfist Realm following the martial path, they could not use artifacts to fly until they reached the Acupoint Opening Realm, so all those who could ‘fly’ were grandmasters to them.

“You can do it too if you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm,” Fenghua said, causing her student’s eyes to be filled with expectations. “Now, hurry up. I don’t have all day, you know?”

“Un!” Leng Junfeng gingerly stepped on the flattened dress. He had expected it to feel weightless and flimsy, but to his surprise, it was like walking on flat ground.

When the two flew out of the fissure, Leng Junfeng jumped off and reached for the fruit on the tree, making sure not to fall into any more fissures.

“I wouldn’t eat that if I were you,” Fenghua advised. “If that fruit really does have physique-changing properties, you’ll only be ruining your Broad Stream Physique. In the future, if you want to reverse the changes, you’d have to spend much more than a single fruit.”

Leng Junfeng’s hand paused midway.

“Of course, you can still pick them. It should be a popular item if you want to sell it to other cultivators.” Fenghua said as she plopped next to the tree roots.

“Wouldn’t that ruin their physiques too?” Leng Junfeng asked. Although he desired the fruit, he still listened to Fenghua’s words.

“Ha! Do you think everyone is like you and possesses the Broad Stream Physique or other unique constitutions? You’re one in a million, and your spiritual root is also one in a million. Actually, considering this is a lower realm, a heavenly spiritual vein might be one in a hundred million.” Fenghua said. “For you, it might be a detriment, but for others, it would be a boon.”

“I see?” Leng Junfeng said, not comprehending how lucky he was to be born with a heavenly wood spiritual vein and Broad Stream Physique. After calming down his heart, Leng Junfeng began to cultivate according to the Wood Book of the Five Element Method imparted to him by Fenghua. With the addition of the dense spiritual qi around the tree and the agglomerated qi near Fenghua, Leng Junfeng only needed one day to enter the first stage of the Qi Gathering Realm.
