I Became A Cannon Fodder In A Female Protagonist Cultivation Novel

128 Love Me, or Be Struck by Lightning?

However, Fang Jinyu couldn’t confirm it in the end.

Firstly, it was because the extraordinary book mentioned that the reborn “cannon fodder villain” Murong Qiu, was from the Shenhua Sect, not the Zhudao Sect.

The second point was that the young man in luxurious clothes had his eyes twitching when he noticed that Fang Jinyu was looking at his “Junior Sister Murong.” Afterward, he immediately ran over and left with his “Junior Sister Murong.”

It was because he wasn’t as good-looking as Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu was frustrated after receiving more than ten gains in his appearance and even felt that it was useless.
He thought that he had wasted another day.

However, the effects of the gains were obvious on his face.

At the very least, when “Junior Sister Murong” heard her “senior brother” called her, she immediately noticed Fang Jinyu standing in the crowd.
He was dressed in an ordinary black robe, but he stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens.

Fang Jinyu followed the staff of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion and entered the “inner shop” that Yin Xiaoxiao had mentioned.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu understood why Yin Xiaoxiao had said that.

After learning that Fang Jinyu wanted a superior-tier spirit tool that could suppress one’s luck, the manager of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion’s “inner shop” immediately brought him a catalog.

There were a total of 20 spiritual items that could suppress one’s luck in the catalog!

The flying-cloud feather was a superior-grade spirit tool.
It was made by imitating the magic treasure, the sublimate white crane feather.
It was priced at 450,000 spirit stones.

The heavenly luck lute was a superior-grade spirit tool.
It was made by imitating the magic treasure, the auspicious lute, priced at 490,000 spirit stones.

The thousand millet tower was a superior-grade spirit tool.
It was made by imitating the magic treasure, the thousand astronomical phenomena tower, priced at 570,000 spirit stones.

…

The catalog was very clear, from the name, the grade of the spirit tool, and the original form of its replica, to the corresponding price of spirit stones.

The cheapest one was the flying-cloud feather.

The most expensive item was a superior-grade spirit tool called the Chaos Pearl.
Although it was a replica, its price was as high as 950,000 spirit stones!

Compared to this, the replica of the heavenly spirit magical diagram that was placed outside wasn’t even worth mentioning!

However, even if the superior-grade spirit tools in this catalog cost a million spirit stones, in Fang Jinyu’s opinion, they were still cheap!

After all, the “salary” of the Tianling Sect Leader was a million spirit stones a year.

Slowly putting down the catalog in his hand, Fang Jinyu asked calmly, “Are there any items that can suppress luck that isn’t replicas?”

When the manager heard Fang Jinyu’s words, his eyes flashed slightly.
Afterward, he smiled and asked, “Lord General Guard Han, do you have any more precise requirements?”

“Are there lightning-attributed items?” Fang Jinyu could understand the hidden meaning behind the manager’s words.

The manager smiled and said confidently, “Of course! Lord General Guard Han, you might not know this, but in our Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, as long as you have spirit stones, there’s nothing you can’t buy!” At the same time, he took out a brand new catalog for Fang Jinyu.

The manager continued and said, “Lord General Guard Han, as long as you take out the spirit stones that you used in the Heavenly Elixir Pavilion before, I can give you a 10% discount on everything on it!”

Fang Jinyu’s gaze moved.
He immediately realized that the spirit stones in the Nine Desolations might be better than the spirit stones in the upper world.

It seemed that the lack of spiritual energy in the upper realm had already reminded Fang Jinyu of the spirit stones in the underground spiritual veins.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”

Fang Jinyu deliberately pretended to be moved and then showed a greedy smile.

Fang Jinyu reached out and took the new catalog.

When Fang Jinyu looked at it, he couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

It could only be said that it was worth being called the “upper realm” to have such a rare lightning-attribute spiritual item.
Not only could it be bought directly with spirit stones, but because there were so many lightning-attribute spiritual items, the people of the upper realm even divided them into different categories.

There were two major categories— the heavenly materials and the earthly treasures, both of which were divided into nine grades.
Among them, the first grade was the lowest, and the ninth grade was the highest!

The division method could also be said to be universal for spiritual items.

It wasn’t only suitable for lightning-attributed spiritual items.

In the catalog, other than lightning-attribute spiritual items that could suppress luck, other lightning-attribute spiritual items could be used for offense, refining, cultivation, and even curse-type lightning-attribute spiritual items.

For example, the confession lightning was third-grade heavenly material.
Its origin was unknown, but after a cultivator cultivated it successfully, he could show it to the person he loved.
If the other party was unwilling to accept his confession, lightning would fall from heaven and earth and strike the other party.

It could be called a divine confession item.

Do you want to love me, or do you want to be struck by lightning?

However, Fang Jinyu only took a glance at them.
He was only concerned about the lightning-attribute spiritual items that can suppress luck.

The March-spring lightning was fifth-grade heavenly material.
Its birth was coincidental.
Usually, it would only form a wisp in the early spring of a certain year every hundred years! However, the wisp would only last for a while before it dissipated on its own.

However, by chance, if more than ten of the March-spring lightning were born at the same time, they would be entangled with each other and could continue to exist.

It was because when it was born, it carried the fate of heaven and earth, so it could suppress one’s luck.

The older the March-spring lightning was, the more expensive it was.
There were three types of March-spring lightning in the catalog.
The first was a hundred-year-old, the second was three-hundred-year-old, and the last was a thousand-year-old.

The price was 150,000 spirit stones, 350,000 spirit stones, and 2,000,000 spirit stones.

“I’ll buy the first type of March-spring lightning.”

Fang Jinyu said.

The manager immediately agreed and said, “Go and bring the hundred-year-old March-spring lightning here.
Lord General Guard Han, according to the previous 10% discount we’ve agreed on, you can pay me 135,000 spirit stones.”

Fang Jinyu didn’t say much.
After paying the spirit stones, he turned around and left.

“Quickly send Lord General Guard Han off.” The manager said it and took out a spirit stone that Fang Jinyu had given him.
Meanwhile, a smile appeared on his face.
He then said, “I don’t believe that you won’t be tempted by the thousand years of March-spring lightning.
I don’t think you have so many spirit stones on you.
At that time, you will go to the place where you found these spirit stones before digging…”

Not only was the spiritual energy in this kind of spirit stone extremely pure, but it was also richer than that of other spirit stones in the upper realm.

If the spirit stones of the upper realm were called ordinary spirit stones, then the spirit stone that Fang Jinyu took out was special.
Of course, the upper realm had a special name for it—Flawless Spirit Stones.

Once a Flawless Spirit Stone appeared on the market, it would immediately be taken away by the local immortal sect.

It was because these spirit stones were extremely beneficial to cultivators.

It was especially true when cultivators wanted to break through bottlenecks.
They could increase their chances of breaking through.

However, the idea of the Flawless Spirit Stone wasn’t widely spread, because those who knew the secret wouldn’t casually tell others.

After all, it was easier for them to pick up the leftovers if fewer people knew about it!

Because of this, the Flawless Spirit Stones on the market were usually worth the same as ordinary spirit stones.

…

At this moment, Fang Jinyu also knew the secret of the Flawless Spirit Stone.

When Fang Jinyu returned the token, he had specially packed a small bag of spirit stones for Yin Xiaoxiao as a thank-you gift.
There were only a hundred spirit stones in it, but Yin Xiaoxiao, the sister of a Core Formation stage cultivator, was extremely happy.

“Wow! It’s the Flawless Spirit Stones! Thank you, Brother Han!” Yin Xiaoxiao was a little excited and said, “With so many Flawless Spirit Stones, I might be able to successfully break through the Foundation Establishment stage! Back then, my brother wanted to help me get some Flawless Spirit Stones, but those three families directly asked for the lion’s share amount.
It made my brother furious.”

“Flawless Spirit Stones?” Fang Jinyu deliberately repeated.

When Yin Xiaoxiao saw that Fang Jinyu didn’t know about it, she quickly explained the Flawless Spirit Stones in detail.

When Fang Jinyu heard it, his expression turned pale for a moment.

Fang Jinyu didn’t expect the spirit stones to be named the Flawless Spirit Stones.
He thought, “No wonder the people of the Heavenly Elixir Pavilion were smiling like huskies.
They all looked like they were the smartest people.”

It had to be said that the spiritual energy in the upper realm was ridiculously thin!

Fang Jinyu thought, “However, in this way, it’ll be easier to fabricate the origin of my spirit stones.” After all, it was common for lucky people to discover underground spirit stone sources in the cultivation world.

Fang Jinyu had also asked Yin Xiaoxiao about it, and she said that some lucky people had found the source of the Flawless Spirit Stones.
Although it was far rarer than the former, there would always be one or two every hundred years.

Fang Jinyu immediately went back.
He took out the hundred-year-old March-spring lightning and observed it.

[Today is the day of observing the spiritual item, the March-spring lightning without any gains.]

[Refined the comprehension of suppressing luck +1]

As comprehension appeared in his mind, Fang Jinyu finally had some understanding of the way to suppress luck.
However, at the same time, he understood that the hundred-year-old March-spring lightning was inferior to superior-grade spirit tools in terms of suppressing luck.

It was only slightly stronger than middle-grade spirit tools that could suppress fate.

“Fortunately, after feeding this hundred-year-old March-spring lightning to my magic treasure, the lightning-attribute mountain, it will also have the function of suppressing luck!”

No matter how good a superior-grade spirit tool was at suppressing luck, could it be better than a magic treasure?

Obviously not!

Therefore, Fang Jinyu was prepared to “feed” his magic treasure into a magic treasure that could suppress luck.
Moreover, if he fed more lightning-attribute spiritual items, the magic treasure’s power would also increase.

Right now, the lightning-attribute mountain magic treasure only has one magic domain.

However, if Fang Jinyu “fed” more spiritual items, it would definitely have another magic domain!

The process of “feeding” the magic treasure lightning-attribute mountain wasn’t complicated.
In fact, it was very fast.
With a “slurp,” the hundred-year-old March-spring lightning went directly into the “stomach” of the magic treasure.

Sensing the slight change in the aura of the magic treasure, Fang Jinyu thought for a moment and raised his hand to wave two superior-grade spirit tools.
One of them was the fire-attribute soul-dispersing flag, which formed an array formation.

Secondly, it was the superior-grade defensive spirit tool.

With these two superior-grade defensive spirit tools, Fang Jinyu sealed off the aura in the area.
Afterward, he took out the nameless mirror and began to communicate with the Nine Desolations.

Fang Jinyu was going to ask for “money.”

The spirit stones Fang Jinyu had on him were almost used up.
