The eight-year-old sect master, the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, and a great wave of cannon fodder arrives!
The two women's role as cannon fodder is minimal, probably only a few hundred words long.
Unlike their three senior brothers, the two senior sisters did not leave the Haotian Sect, but instead went to explore the secret realm.
One of them Qi Refining, Third Level, and the other at the Qi Refining Second Layer, yet they were going to venture into a secret realm for the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This is practically tantamount to courting death.
Fortunately, the two women were lucky; they not only escaped the secret realm alive but also successfully obtained what they wanted.
One Marrow Marrow-Cleansing Fruit.
But this Marrow-Cleansing Fruit wasn't for their own use; it was brought back for Ling Yi to use.
The original owner of this body at the age of eight had extremely poor cultivation talent, even lower than that of Mortal Pin, and was almost no different from an ordinary person with no cultivation talent at all.
The Marrow-Cleansing Fruit is extremely valuable to cultivators.
As its name suggests, the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit has the effect of cleansing the marrow and refining the meridians. It can not only enhance one's talent, but also enable ordinary people without cultivation talent to possess it.
Such a treasure would be fought over by not only ordinary cultivators, but even top-tier cultivation sects would vie for it if they discovered it.
In the cannon fodder storyline, the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit was successfully used on the eight-year-old original body, helping him and enhancing his talent.
However, the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit also attracted many enemies.
The soul of the original eight-year-old body has now been replaced by the remnant soul of the ancestor.
The original owner had a head full of techniques and spells, but couldn't use any of them.
In order to buy the original owner a chance to escape, the two senior sisters faced the pursuing enemies alone and ultimately Shuangshuang in front of the dilapidated Daoist temple.
This is the cannon fodder storyline for the two senior sisters.
"It seems the Protagonist of this scenario world is going for Sacrifice- based playstyle!"
Sacrifice two senior sisters to obtain the supreme treasure, the Marrow Marrow-Cleansing Fruit —what else could this be but Sacrifice tactic?
Of course, this was the original cannon fodder plot. After Ling Yi appeared, the cannon fodder label of the two senior sisters began to flicker and showed signs of disappearing at any time.
Ling Yi would never let his two senior sisters die here.
"Junior sister, quickly give the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit to the young sect leader, then take him and leave!"
Qin Nianyun took out a fruit that looked a bit like a hawthorn from her bosom and placed it in Feng Yushi's hand.
"Senior sister, we can take junior brother with us and leave together," Feng Yushi said, her voice trembling.
"It's too late! Zheng Ran and the others will be here soon. I need to distract them!"
"Senior sister..." Feng Yushi's voice was already trembling with sobs.
"The young sect leader is the only hope of the Haotian Sect. We must not let anything happen to him. Let's go!" Qin Nianyun pushed Feng Yushi.
Just then, a voice came from afar.
"None of you are leaving today. Hand over the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit, and we may spare your lives."
As soon as the words were spoken, a middle-aged man in a blue robe flew up from above and landed directly in front of Qin Nianyun and Feng Yushi.
This doesn't fit the cannon fodder plot at all.
In the original cannon fodder storyline, Feng Yushi had already given the eight-year-old original owner the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit.
Realizing that escape was hopeless, he hid his original body inside a hollow statue in a Daoist temple.
Feng Yushi and Qin Nianyun split up into two groups to draw the enemy away.
Unfortunately, they were too badly injured and didn't get very far before they were caught up.
In order to deceive the enemy, the two women consumed a spiritual fruit that looked similar to the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit in front of everyone.
Then he drew his sword and committed suicide.
The two senior sisters sacrificed their lives to not only give the original owner a Marrow-Cleansing Fruit, but also to give him a chance to live.
This left room for the original owner to grow.
But now, the enemy is arriving much faster than in the cannon fodder storyline.
"I'll say it one last time: hand over the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit and you may live; otherwise, I will extract your souls and refine them day and night, leaving you unable to escape life or death."
Qin Nianyun and Feng Yushi were both in despair at this moment.
If they were at the Qi Refining Realm, they could burn their lifespan to try and hold their own, but at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they had absolutely no hope of escaping.
They couldn't do anything, let alone escape.
The difference in their cultivation levels was so vast that they had no power to resist whatsoever; the gap was simply too great.
At this moment, many more people rushed up from the foot of the mountain.
Most of them were at the Qi Refining Realm, with only a few at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and they completely surrounded the Daoist temple.
They were all eyeing Qin Nianyun and her companion with predatory intent.
However, these people clearly do not belong to the same faction.
Based on their clothing, they can be divided into four main categories based on their strength.
The group dressed in blue were from the Vast Righteousness Sect. The sect leader, Zheng Ran, was the first middle-aged man to arrive, and he had a cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level stage.
The group dressed in white were from the Cloud Heaven Sect. The sect leader, Bai Li, was a young man in a white robe holding a folding fan, with Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment cultivation.
The group dressed in red was the most unique, as they were all women, each wearing a long red dress.
She was from the Mist Cloud Sect. The sect leader, Xu Mengyan, was a charming middle-aged woman who looked to be in her thirties, with a cultivation level of the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment.
The last group consisted of cultivators dressed in rather haphazard attire.
It's not that they are rogue cultivators, but rather that these people are all contenders for this secret realm, just from different sects.
These sects are quite far away, so it will take them more time to get here.
"Sect Leader Zheng, Sect Leader Bai, there's only one Marrow-Cleansing Fruit. What do you say?" Xu Mengyan first asked, fiddling with the peach blossom branch in her hand.
"If you give me the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, I can give up two Spirit Stone mines, how about that?" Bai Li said, shaking his folding fan.
"Although the Marrow-Cleansing Pill is precious, there is only one, so its value is ultimately limited. Two Spirit Stone mines are already a very generous offer."
Zheng Ran and Bai Li exchanged a glance, then shook their heads simultaneously.
"Sect Master Bai, you really have no shame. How about I give you two Spirit Stone mines in exchange for your withdrawal?"
For ordinary cultivators, the value of the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit may not be that high.
But for those cultivators with Limit talent, it is priceless.
A single Marrow-Cleansing Pill could potentially advance a cultivator with Immortal Tier talent to God Tier talent.
A difference of just one rank in talent can make all the difference.
With God Tier talent, as long as he doesn't die, he will surely become a top-tier power and a regional overlord.
Even in the Immortal Realm, he would still be a top-tier genius with an extremely high probability of becoming a god in the future.
Even if Bai Li and his group don't use this, they can still offer it to those top sects in exchange for resources.
At that time, let alone two Low-Grade Spirit Stone mines, it wouldn't be impossible to directly exchange them for a Spiritual Vein.
Everyone understands the value of this.
Naturally, they wouldn't give in.
"Gentlemen, we don't have much time. Once other sects get involved, I'm afraid there won't be much for us to do," Xu Mengyan.
"What should we do then?" Zheng Ran frowned.
"I do have a suggestion. We simply cannot swallow, use, or dare to use this Marrow-Cleansing Fruit; otherwise, it will only bring about the destruction of our sect."
"Why don't we three sects join forces, exchange the resources, and then divide them equally? Wouldn't that be a win-win situation for everyone?"
Zheng Ran was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I agree."
"I agree too!" Bai Li nodded in agreement.
I disagree!
Just then, a slightly immature voice rang out from the air.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
A child, only eight or nine years old and dressed in tattered hemp clothing, hovered in the air, looking down at the crowd with indifferent eyes.
"Young Sect Master?"
Qin Nianyun and Feng Yushi exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Then came two puzzled looks.
When will our little patriarch be able to fly?
Isn't it said that only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can Air Control without external aids?
Could it be that the young sect master is Foundation Establishment cultivator?
