Chapter 2: The Cannon Fodder Who Can’t Get a Number Originally named Xu Shan, she was born...
The original owner was named Xu Shan. She was born into a small family of immortal cultivators, the Xu family. Her ancestor was a casual cultivator. By chance, she met a disciple of the Mu family. With the other party's support, she became a handyman for the Mu family.
That’s right, he was just an ordinary servant, but in a big family like the Mu family, the status and resources of a servant were beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators. They were envious and competed to get the position.
Originally, according to Xu Xianzu's qualifications, being able to cultivate to the middle stage of Qi training was already the result of his best efforts.
But in the Xu family, he successfully built a foundation, which shows that the resources are abundant.
Of course, you don't need to continue doing menial work after building your foundation. You are now faced with two choices.
Enter the Mu Family Disciple Academy and wait to be selected by the various Mu Family disciples to become their subordinates or guards, working hard while gaining more training resources.
But his limit was here. It was difficult for him to establish a foundation, and it was almost impossible for him to form a pill. As a result, he wasted some time and no disciple was willing to choose him, so he had to choose another path.
To become the external manager of the Mu family, a manager in the world of immortal cultivation needs to have the cultivation level of Golden Core to be able to control the situation.
Xu Xianzu naturally didn't have this ability, so he came to the mortal world.
In the mortal world, he has greater authority. He does not need to be the manager of the Mu family, but can rule a piece of land and become a local emperor.
That’s right, it’s a piece of land where you can develop your own family power, but you have to hand over a certain amount of spirit stones every year.
In return, the Mu family will also provide certain resources for cultivation, such as recruiting a certain number of Xu family members. As for how many to recruit, it is entirely determined by the resources submitted by the Xu family.
After hundreds of years of development, the Xu family has become a small force in the mortal world.
As a branch of the Xu family, Xu Shan's parents have spiritual roots, but they are mixed four or five spiritual roots, so they have no chance to join the Mu family.
But in the Xu family, he is not considered a remote figure. After all, in a family like theirs, less than one-tenth of the people have spiritual roots. After hundreds of years of development and a population of several thousand, there are less than a hundred people with spiritual roots.
Therefore, they were still valued. Because of this, when the master needed people to hunt spirit beasts in preparation for the five-yearly submission of spirit stones to the Mu family, they had no choice but to go.
Then they sacrificed themselves and died at the claws of the spirit beast.
The original owner became an orphan, but the master rewarded her with a talent order, allowing her to participate in this year's recruitment of new cultivators.
But this unlucky guy died in his own home before the recruitment began. It was his cousin who did it.
The original owner's grandfather had spiritual roots, but among his seven children, only the original owner's father had spiritual roots. Naturally, the original owner's father was the most valued.
But in the next generation, the original owner's cousin Xu Lan had three spiritual roots, while the original owner only had five spiritual roots.
It was fine when the parents were alive, but after they passed away, the grandparents became completely biased. They thought that with the original owner's qualifications, there was no chance for him to join the Mu family, so it would be better to give the opportunity to Xu Lan.
They tried every possible means to snatch the various cultivation resources left by their parents from the original owner and supply them to Xu Lan.
So much so that the original owner was already twelve years old, but was still in the introductory stage and had not even reached the first level of Qi training.
Those with high talents can practice Qi at several levels right from the start, but the original owner had his spiritual roots detected at the age of six, and now he is twelve years old, and still has not entered the stage of Qi training. Everyone would call him a waste.
Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the original owner. Poor talent is one thing, but he lost his parents not long after entering the sect. He had no one to teach him and had no practice techniques at all. How could he practice Qi?
The original owner's grandfather was very biased. He taught Xu Lan in every way, but he tried his best to suppress the original owner.
It was simply because the time had come, and he told the master that Xu Shan was too useless and it would be embarrassing for her to go to the world of cultivation, so it would be better to change the candidate to Xu Lan.
Five or six years have passed, and the main family has long forgotten the contributions of the original owner's parents. When the grandfather said that Xu Shan had voluntarily given up, they agreed directly without even asking a single question!
The original owner naturally didn't want her only chance to be snatched away. This was something her parents had paid for with their lives, and it had been hidden well over the years.
But just a few days ago, news came that the top ten families were recruiting new members. Anyone who held a talent recruitment order could go and participate, and those who passed the trial could join the corresponding family.
When the original owner got the news, he thought it was an opportunity and quietly found the hidden token.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lan had already done something to her and had been watching her the whole time. As soon as she took out the token, the other party came over following the scent, snatched it away without saying a word, and gave the "unreliable" original owner a heavy slap in the face.
The original owner died just like that, and Xu Hui was played a trick by fate. She could not become a favored daughter of heaven, and could only be reborn in the body of cannon fodder Xu Shan.
Holding her aching abdomen, Xu Hui sneered. The original owner was quite unlucky, but it didn't matter, her revenge would be avenged soon.
Xu Lan seems to have all the advantages, but in fact she is just cannon fodder.
Yes, cannon fodder!
This is another novel that Xu Hui saw from the soul that was competing with her for her body.
Her name is Wan Xiao, she is a modern person who also traveled through time. In her memory, there is a novel about cultivating immortality called "Nirvana and Ascension of the Female Supporting Character", which is completely consistent with the current situation.
The heroine Zhong Xinyue is the daughter of the head of the Zhong family. She has above-average talent and dual spiritual roots of water and wood. However, she ascended to become an immortal before she was a thousand years old, and was envied and noticed by everyone.
Her life can be described as smooth sailing, with almost no setbacks, and even if she encountered problems, she could easily resolve them.
In comparison, the supporting female character Zhong Lingyue is much more miserable. The two are cousins, both daughters of the Zhong family, with similar talents, but very different status and treatment.
The last one ascended to heaven with his lover, while the other one died and his soul was scattered.
Zhong Xinyue is the daughter of the head of the family, so she gets to pick all the good resources first, and then it’s up to others to pick the rest.
The resources that Zhong Lingyue obtained were often what Zhong Xinyue had left over. This was not a big deal. What really widened the gap was the subsequent circumstances.
Because of her family background, Zhong Xinyue got a unique and good marriage in the early stage, the second son of the Wei family, Wei Mubai.
As the eldest son of one of the five great families and a child of destiny, Wei Mubai was originally an unattainable and unattainable object for them.
The Zhong family is a subsidiary family of the Mu family, and it is a medium-sized family. According to her family background and dual spiritual roots, Zhong Xinyue would never be able to marry the young master of the direct branch of the Wei family.
There is an old story here.
Ten years ago, when the mistress of the Wei family was pregnant, her main body was plotted against and she almost lost both her life and her daughter's life.
The Wei family needs a blood spirit grass to make an elixir, but this grass is very magical and can only be fed with the essence and blood of a woman with cultivation. After it is cultivated, taking it can improve the woman's qualifications and help her break through her cultivation.
Blood Spirit Grass is difficult to grow, only one out of a hundred can survive, and the amount of blood and essence consumed is not proportional to the improved qualifications.
Even if their essence and blood are exhausted, they may not be able to keep a single plant alive. No female cultivator is willing to waste her life and cultivation to do this.
Even if they want to plant it, they will only plant it secretly to avoid being found out and stolen.
And the Zhong family just happened to have such a plant.
The Zhong family had an aunt who had lost her husband. In order to improve the qualifications of her daughter who was not very talented, she spent all her energy to cultivate a plant, but her daughter died before it could be grown.
She had lost all hope and died soon after. Before she died, she gave the Blood Spirit Grass to her clan.
When the Wei family needed it, the Zhong family donated it. The Wei family used it to refine pills, which helped Mrs. Wei break through at the critical moment. A large amount of spiritual energy gathered and saved the lives of the mother and daughter.
Although Madam Wei's realm was unstable and she needed to be in seclusion all year round, and Miss Wei San had an incomplete meridian since her childhood and could not practice, the Wei family appreciated this and not only gave her a large amount of resources in return, but also arranged her marriage with Wei Mubai after Zhong Xinyue participated in the wedding ceremony, and accepted her into the inner sect of the Wei family, training her with the resources used to train their own daughter.
This was proposed by the Zhong family, and the Wei family did not refuse because of the life-saving grace.
Since then, the heroine has gained a powerful backer and countless resources, and the Wei family also gave her a spiritual field space as a betrothal gift.
Zhong Xinyue, who has water and wood spiritual roots, uses this space to grow countless top-quality spiritual plants and becomes a popular commodity among major families.
And she also became a genius that everyone admired. Even though she had dual spiritual roots, her cultivation speed was no worse than those with natural spiritual roots. This was all thanks to the Wei family's dedicated training.
In comparison, Zhong Lingyue, who also has dual spiritual roots, is not so lucky. Although he is enrolled in the main family, the Mu family, he is only an outer disciple.
Generally, inner disciples are members of the Mu clan, so blood relationship is particularly important in this regard.
But the female supporting character worked very hard, desperately improving her cultivation, all in the hope of being chosen by Mu Yuan, the heir of the Mu family, to become his attendant. She simply fell in love with this incredibly talented man.
As the number one genius of this generation, Mu Yuan successfully formed a golden elixir at a young age. At this time, he is already in the middle stage of the golden elixir, surpassing all the geniuses of the new generation and becoming the number one on the strength list.
Unfortunately, she is the supporting actress, not the heroine, and the supporting actress's love is meaningless to the hero.
After Zhong Xinyue formed her elixir, her fiancé Wei Mubai entered a secret realm for training. He encountered danger and was unable to come out until the secret realm was closed. It is speculated that he might have accidentally entered the Endless Abyss.
Although the spirit tablet was still there, the chance of it coming out was slim. The Wei family was kind-hearted and did not want Zhong Xinyue to wait for this slim chance, so they decided to cancel the engagement and gave her the spirit field space as compensation.
From then on, without the constraints of marriage, Zhong Xinyue could be with the person she loved without any worries.
That’s right, she also likes Mu Yuan!
Although Wei Mubai was also very outstanding, at about the same age, he not only reached the early stage of the Golden Core, but also became a fifth-grade alchemist.
Before him, the youngest fifth-grade alchemist was over a hundred years old, but he was only in his early twenties. How amazing was his talent?
But Wei Mubai was obsessed with alchemy and almost never came out of the alchemy room. Although they were an engaged couple, they met only a few times, let alone developed feelings for each other.
In comparison, Mu Yuan, who often experienced training, seemed much more brilliant. The two often met during training and gradually developed feelings for each other.
That’s right, as the heroine, her Taoist partner must be the most dazzling and eye-catching one. Wei Mubai is still a step behind in cultivation.
For the female supporting character, such an outcome was heartbreaking. She had worked so hard and survived many dangers to improve her cultivation before she could become Mu Yuan's subordinate. However, her cousin, because of her marriage to the Wei family, had countless resources and became a so-called genius. She also obtained the spiritual field space, and easily won the favor and attention of her lover. In the end, the two of them were together.
Zhong Lingyue was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and did a lot of wrong things to deal with the heroine, but she was always retaliated against. In the end, she was jointly plotted by the hero and heroine and became the nourishment that promoted the heroine's ascension.
But these are just the beginning!
The supporting female character was reborn, and she ambushed the heroine Zhong Xinyue immediately, married into the Wei family on her behalf, used the Wei family's resources to improve her cultivation, and then got together with Mu Yuan, following the heroine's path, causing the heroine to turn into a handful of earth early.
This is the first chapter of the novel. It is really concise and straightforward, without any dragging.
As a refreshing book, it is indeed refreshing.
But when you are in it and become cannon fodder, it is not so easy.
Anyone who has experienced it knows how it feels to have fate strangle you.
The original owner was the cannon fodder, and so was the original owner's cousin.
After Xu Lan got the token from the original owner, she went to take part in the new member assessment. On the way, she met the heroine Zhong Xinyue. She wanted to rely on her to pass the assessment and enter the Mu family, so she followed her all the time.
Since she didn't want the supporting female character to destroy the body, she just... disappeared like that, not much later than the original owner.
Xu Wei suddenly sat up. No, she had to rush to the corpse and retrieve the token.
Thanks to the female supporting character for deliberately choosing to take action in the mortal world instead of waiting until she reaches the cultivation world. This actually works out well for her.
After all, there is a barrier between the mortal world and the world of cultivation. With the original owner's cultivation level not yet practicing Qi, he can't get in at all and can only rely on the token.
