This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder Chapter 120

Inside of Tianyi's inner cosmos, his five differently-colored Nascent Souls began to show changes. They had already advanced past their progress from before he created his clone, Juedai Fenghua. All the impurities and murkiness had disappeared, and they now resembled colored glass, reflecting all light.

The Nascent Souls were crystal clear and resembled glass sculptures. This was the Glass Nascent Soul Stage or the mid-Nascent Soul Realm. Tianyi had already reached this stage a while ago, but now, within his glass-like Nascent Souls, brilliants specks of light began to appear. It wasn't anything like the impurities in the Translucent Nascent Soul Stage, but a sign of progress. For a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to advanced to the late-Nascent Soul Realm, their Nascent Soul will become increasingly dense until it was like a crystal or gem. The brilliance within Tianyi's Nascent Soul was a result of that density.

And on all of the Nascent Souls, the brightest brilliance was a dot on their foreheads. Not just the Nascent Souls, but Tianyi's Emperor self birthed from the Three Pure True Self Visualization Technique also had a glowing dot between his brows. Not just them, but Tianyi's physical body also had a dot on his forehead, although it was red.

Tianyi sighed as he rubbed the red dot on his forehead. The first step of cultivating the Heavenly Truth-Seeking Eye was to create a vessel to hold the eye. He had already created the vessel. What Tianyi had to do next was create an eye seed within the vessel and wait for it to mature.

There were different grades to the Heavenly Truth-Seeking Eye, and half the reason was material used to create the eye seed. Erlang Shen's body was born with the Heavenly Truth-Seeking Eye, but it was closer to a natural treasure birthed from the Primordial Chaos. It wasn't something naturally born or could be created with only the body. So the Heavenly Truth-Seeking Eye needed to use external resources for anyone trying to cultivate the technique.

Tianyi naturally had access to the best resources, although he felt a bit bitter having to borrow from his mother again. He silently kept the debt in his heart, hoping to repay her for all that she did one day. Tianyi was someone who lived two lives; he was unable to accept Mengfei's love without returning anything.

Right now, the red dot on his forehead was just that, a pretty mark on his forehead. "This like a pregnancy. How long do I have to wait before the eye is born?"

He had done all that he could at this moment. Right now, the vessel was gestating the eye seed. Tianyi could only wait till the eye seed matures into a Heavenly Truth-Seeking eye before using it to do anything.

And he was so excited too!

"Don't tell me I have to wait until I become an Immortal before the eye finally opens?" The Heavenly Truth-Seeking Eye was originally a technique meant for those in the Immortal Realm. When Tianyi discovered that fact, he felt like he got ripped off. How come this information wasn't present when he visited the seventh level of the Immortal Repository? Did they just assume only True Immortals visited there?

Actually, that was not far from the truth.

Luckily, for Tianyi, after checking with his mother and testing it, he was able to cultivate the Heavenly Truth-Seeking Eye to this point. From the Qi Gathering Realm to Unity Realm, everything was in preparation for refining the vessel into something suitable for an Immortal. It was similar to how a suitable vessel needed to be created for the Heavenly-Truth Seeking Eye.

A mortal's body simply wasn't a suitable vessel for the divine eye. But Tianyi's body was different. In terms of his suitability as a vessel, there weren't many things he couldn't withstand. Tianyi's greatest problem was his control over his own body. Although he could perfectly control his power outside of his body and qi, that was only a fraction of the power within his cosmos.

Whatever the reason, Tianyi could only patiently wait for his third eye to open. Because of this, Tianyi was sullen for quite a while.

While he waited, he began to go over his techniques and retrofit them with the experience he gained when he learned the Eight Strokes Word Art. Turning the concepts behind techniques into formations and turning formations into techniques, Tianyi was slowly ruminating all of this. If he had to compare what he was doing right now in terms of careers on Earth, he was trying to become an omnidisciplinary scientist. Well, he hasn't reached the extreme yet.

Tianyi hadn't tried alchemy yet. He thought about it, but he already had a lot on his plate at the moment. As time went by while Tianyi waited for Daoyi's Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation, Tianyi began to ponder on whether or not to test Xi Ri. Tianyi shook his head. He didn't want to break the tentative peace he had within the sect. He should capture Jiang Chunye and interrogate her first, before asking Xi Ri since Dong Chifan had disappeared along with his clone.

Smiling helplessly to himself, Tianyi released a self-deprecating sigh. He had always been like this. When it concerned people he didn't care about, he wouldn't even spare a thought. But when it came to people close to him, he didn't dare to confront them in any way. During this time, Su Bojing visited Tianyi several times. Thanks to Su Bojing, Tianyi was able to learn of several matters he wanted. He had an urged to hire Su Bojing as his subordinate, but since he was part of Su Wanyu's clan, he didn't want to overreach. So he asked Su Bojing if he knew anyone who would like to work under him, but Su Bojing's answer surprised Tianyi."

"Please accept me as your subordinate, Senior Brother!"

"Ah? Aren't you Sister Su's subordinate?"

"I'm not actually part of her inner circle. The Su Clan isn't that powerful. I'm more of a hanger-on that Lady Su took pity on."

"And you aren't doing this to get information on me for Sister Su?" Tianyi asked. Although Tianyi didn't have much management skills, he still had common sense. Many people would be willing to be his subordinate, at least the mortals. But Tianyi couldn't discount the off chance that it would be a spy. He knew that Immortal Redseal still had his own influence within the sect even though he was locked up at the moment. Not just Immortal Redseal, Tianyi couldn't discount that other Immortals in the sect would not wish him harm.

Who knew if Immortal Redseal had collaborated with the other Immortal Elders? Just his status as someone born from the Dragon Emperor's soul fragment was enough to paint a large target behind his back. Tianyi was beginning to hate the Dragon Emperor more and more now.

"I can make an oath." Su Bojing said. "And Lady hasn't asked any sort of question for me. In truth, I'm on the lower end of the totem among the inner disciples."

"Really? You seem to have some skills to me." Tianyi said. He found Su Bojing very well informed.

"Haha," Su Bojing gave a self-deprecating laugh. "But I'm not skilled where it matters. I've stalled in the Core Formation Realm for over a hundred years. If it were not for Lady Su, I would have been stuck there longer. But even then, there is little hope for me to enter the Unity Realm. If there is a chance to do so, I will grab it!"

"Would Sister Su mind? Even if I decide to take you as my subordinate, would that not anger her? I hope you aren't hoping that I would shield you." Tianyi said. Su Bojing wasn't unique in the world. Tianyi had familiarized himself with Su Bojing during the past few encounters, so it was more convenient to ask Su Bojing for tasks. His mind flashed back to the past where Su Bojing they had met before. He typically only recalled those who had offended him in some way, so perhaps Su Bojing had actually tried to get on his good side in the past when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm?

"Would you believe me if I said that Lady Su only started to give me tasks only after Senior Brother Xi entered the Nascent Soul Realm? I went as her representative. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the requirement to participate. Aside from that, all the orders from her were to entertain you. But she hasn't asked me about any personal information about you or anything!" Su Bojing said while trying to show that he was speaking the truth.

"Didn't you brag to me about her? I find it hard to believe that you would choose me over someone you respected so much." Tianyi still remembered when Su Bojing showed disbelief when Tianyi said that he would enter the Unity Realm within a hundred years like Su Wanyu. Yeah, he was still bitter about that.

"Ehahaha, that was because I had nothing else to bring out. You entered the Nascent Soul Realm at only twenty years of age while I took hundreds. Yet now, I'm still in the early-Nascent Soul Realm while Senior Brother has already entered the mid-Nascent Soul Realm. What else could I use to compare? And..." Su Bojing showed some hesitation before continuing. "And I was envious. I thought that you had used a tremendous amount of resources to enter the Nascent Soul Realm at a young age. I lied to myself so that I wouldn't feel bad about my lack of talent compared to you."

Tianyi raised his eyebrow at Su Bojing's confession. He had heard tales of cultivators despairing at their lack of talent, but he hadn't expected Su Bojing to be one of them. Of course, Tianyi wasn't talented at reading people's inner thoughts, and he wasn't foolish enough to believe everything Su Bojing said at face value either. Still, Su Bojing was very convenient.

"Alright, but if I discover you aren't wholeheartedly serving me, then prepare yourself. I won't kill you since we are members of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, but it wouldn't be hard to make your life a living hell. From what you said, I doubt Sister Su would confront me over you." Not that Tianyi would actually confront Su Wanyu head-on. She was still the leader of the elders' scions; her influence was far greater than his. Should he start building his influence too?

But Tianyi wasn't well versed in management. And right now, he wasn't sure he could trust Xi Ri, much less Su Bojing, who had just pledged himself. Trusting Su Bojing too much, too early will lead to disastrous consequences. Either he had to ascertain Su Bojing's influence or wait until he could test Xi Ri if he was a reincarnator, whichever came first.

"Thank you! You won't regret it! As long as it does not contradict the sect laws, I will wholeheartedly aid you!" Su Bojing pledged with a kowtow.

Tianyi waved his hand. "Stop kowtowing; I don't like it."
