Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

But in Yino\'s previous life, when he first played Fallen Immortal, Yunjin was the first female character he met. She was also the only senior disciple in the sect who warmly cared for him, guiding Yino through almost the entire game\'s introduction to cultivation.

However, at the end of the first volume of the main storyline, Yunjin was killed off due to plot reasons, stabbed through the chest by the villainous senior brother Gu Wanglan.

Yino naturally wanted to save her, but it was just a cutscene in the game. All he could do was sit in front of the computer, silently watching as Yunjin was struck down in her final second of rushing towards him.

That scene deeply affected Yino watching from behind the screen.

So now, when Yino encounters Yunjin again as a new disciple, he feels very moved.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Yunjin. My body is no longer in danger."

Yino bowed with cupped hands, showing unprecedented respect before the young woman in green.

For a moment, Yunjin was surprised by the honor, and even Yuyan beside her turned her head in astonishment.

She felt that Yino\'s first meeting with Yunjin showed much more sincere respect than when he met her.

"Oh my~ It was just a small gesture, Junior Brother. You\'re being too formal!"

The young woman in green quickly came forward to help Yino up.

Yunjin was of average height, wearing a green Daoist robe, with her light-colored hair tied in two buns. Though not as distinctive as Yuyan and Jinyue, she had a simple, pretty look of a traditional ancient-style girl.

After all, she was just a novice guide, so one couldn\'t expect her to be stunningly beautiful.

"Junior Brother must be visiting the main hall for the first time, right?"

"Senior Sister Yuyan has already explained your situation to me. So next, let me give Junior Brother Yino brief introduction to the various professions in the Wuji Sect!"

Just like in the game\'s storyline from his previous life, Yunjin recited the welcome speech gently.

Yino listened quietly, but his peripheral vision noticed a black-clad young man looking around outside the main hall not far away.

Suddenly, he remembered that according to the original plot, today after the martial arts competition should also be the first day the protagonist meets the novice guide...

"Senior Sister Yunjin, actually on the way here, Senior Sister Yuyan has already introduced me to the various functions of the main hall."

"I\'m more curious about the other institutions of the Wuji Sect. I wonder if Sister Yunjin could take me to see the back mountain?"

Yino naturally changed the subject.

Yunjin wasn\'t a very shrewd girl. Hearing this, she immediately nodded, beaming with joy:

"Sure, then let\'s first take Brother Yino for a tour of the back mountain of the Wuji Sect!"

"After you, Senior Sister."

The two chatted happily as they brushed past the black-clad young man outside the hall.

...

...

...

"Strange, Brother Gu said to come to the main hall and find a senior sister called Yunjin to learn about the Wuji Sect."

"But I\'ve asked everyone here, and it seems no one is called Yunjin."

In the main hall, Chen Jianxin stood alone in a corner, scratching his head and looking a bit lost as he watched the cultivators coming and going.

He looked left and right, and finally sighed, found a signpost, and walked towards the sword practice field.

...

...

...

"Brother Yino, you... you\'re so amazing!"

Walking on the forest path of the back mountain, Yunjin had her hands behind her back, looking at Yino with admiring eyes.

In just an hour and a half, she had been completely won over by Yino.

Over the years, to earn merit points for the sect, Yunjin would work as a part-time guide in the main hall for each new disciple recruitment.

And every time, under Yunjin\'s guidance, those new disciples would look inexperienced, exclaiming at everything they saw. But Yino, from beginning to end, acted as if he was returning home, familiar with everything.

This wasn\'t even the most outrageous part.

The most outrageous thing was that just now, when Yunjin took Yino to the Alchemy Shop and the Blacksmith, Yino dared to haggle with the senior brothers selling goods, asking for half price right off the bat!

Yunjin was about to advise him not to be too demanding with the senior brothers, but what shocked Yunjin even more was that the senior brother actually lost to Yino in a battle of words and politely gave Yino a large batch of medicinal pills at half price, without any difficulty!

Yunjin was dumbfounded at the time.

She had been in the Wuji Sect for two years, but if she hadn\'t gone on this trip with Yino, she might never have known that the Alchemy Shop could actually offer half price!

Was Yunjin the only big fool in the entire Wuji Sect who had been buying expensive full-priced medicinal pills for more than two years???

Later, seeing Yunjin looking pitiful, Yino even gave the senior brother at the Alchemy Shop several dozen spirit stones, asking him to give discounts in the future and not to rip off Yunjin anymore.

The senior brother chuckled, skillfully pocketing the spirit stones, then knowingly handed Yunjin a card, saying that in the future, she could get a 30% discount at the Alchemy Shop with this card, and if she bought in bulk, she could get half price.

Yunjin: ???

She was full of question marks at the time but still carefully accepted the card.

From then on, the role of guide completely shifted from Yunjin to Yino.

Because Yino didn\'t seem like a newbie at all, but more like an old hand who had been in the Wuji Sect for many years!

He told Yunjin that these medicinal pills actually have very low costs, and there are various subsidies from the sect and the Immortal Alliance. Even selling at half price, the Alchemy Shop could still make a lot of profit. The high original prices were purely to raise the market purchase price, making it convenient for the elders to balance the books, which was tacitly approved by the sect.

Yino spoke casually, but for the naive Yunjin, it was shocking.

She wanted to argue that righteous immortal sects couldn\'t be so dark, but Yino had really won over the senior brother at the Alchemy Shop, and with this card, Yunjin could save a lot of money at the Alchemy Shop in the future!

Yunjin had nothing to say and could only meekly accept his kindness.

"Don\'t feel so indebted. If you\'ve been to markets outside the Wuji Sect, you\'d know how much water is added to the official medicine prices."

Yino waved his hand, explaining naturally.

Yunjin stopped in her tracks, looking at him with curious eyes: "What are markets outside the official ones?"

"Commonly known as black markets, they\'re trading markets where cultivators from various races freely participate. Of course, the textbooks of righteous immortal sects won\'t tell you that there are markets outside the Immortal Alliance in this world."

Yino looked back at her, found a place to sit down, and casually took out a medicinal pill: "For example, this Soul Return Pill has no official markings and is only worth one-tenth of what the Alchemy Shop sells, but would you believe its effect is exactly the same as the ones sold in the Alchemy Shop?"

"You\'re a healer, so you should know something about medicinal pills."

At this point, Yino smiled slightly and handed the pill to Yunjin.

Over the years, due to playing the role of a prodigal young master, he had never told anyone about these experiences as a reincarnator, but Yunjin was an exception.

To put it bluntly, Yino felt a bit sorry for her.

Yunjin had always been diligent for the Wuji Sect, doing good deeds daily, but not only were the spirit stones she earned from tasks being ripped off by fellow disciples, in the game, she didn\'t even survive the first volume before tragically exiting the stage.

Her fate was too unfortunate. Seeing her innocent little face, Yino couldn\'t help but want to tell her some heartfelt words to help her avoid some detours.

"This kind of high-purity Soul Return Pill has to be custom-ordered at the Alchemy Shop!"

Yunjin held the pill, carefully observing it, and couldn\'t help but widen her eyes in surprise.

She tried to return the pill to Yino, but he waved his hand to refuse:

"Sister Yunjin first treated me at Ranmo Peak, and now you\'re helping me get familiar with the Wuji Sect... This Pill is just my way of saying thank you."

"How can this be? It\'s too precious!"

The young woman\'s face was flushed with the honor, turning red all over.

A high-purity Soul Return Pill could give a dying person a few more hours of life, equivalent to snatching someone from the hands of the King of Hell, a life-saving miracle drug!

From childhood to adulthood, Yunjin had never received such a precious gift. She was just an ordinary junior sister in the sect; her little life wasn\'t worth spending a sky-high price to buy a life-saving pill.

"Take it. The Grand Tutor\'s Mansion has plenty of these pills; I used to eat them like candy when I was little... Who knows, it might save Senior Sister\'s life at a critical moment?"

Yino waved his hand, pretending to be an indifferent rich young master.

The young woman still pursed her lips half-believingly: "Can I really?"

"Yep."

"The young master of the Grand Tutor\'s Mansion is indeed generous..."

Yunjin looked at the easily obtained Soul Return Pill, her green eyes slightly dazed.

But soon, as if remembering something, she quickly bowed to Yino: "Thank you, Young Master He!"

"I said, this is a thank you gift. I should be the one thanking you."

Yino helped her up, and the two continued advancing along the forest path.

This time, Yino walked in front, while Yunjin obediently followed behind like a little follower.

"Speaking of which, has Young Master been to the Wuji Sect before? That\'s why you\'re so familiar with this place..."

Her eyes were full of innocence and curiosity, like a kitten who had just discovered a new world in Yino.

"When I was little, I came to the Wuji Sect with an elder from the Grand Tutor\'s Mansion, so I\'m somewhat familiar with it."

Yino casually made up an excuse to brush it off.

After all, Yunjin wasn\'t a very sharp girl. No matter what he said, she would probably nod and believe it seriously.

"I see. Then I\'ll have to learn more from Young Master in the future!"

The young woman listened with an admiring face.

After all, in the eyes of the world, the Grand Tutor\'s Mansion was a prestigious family of the Great Dragon Dynasty. The children there must have been well-informed and broad-minded from a young age.

Yunjin just didn\'t expect that the rumored prodigal young master would actually be so easy to get along with in private, and he was quite nice too!

She had been so nervous earlier when she heard from her senior sister that she would be Yino\'s guide.

"By the way, Brother Yino."

"We should turn at the next intersection, because if we keep going forward, we\'ll enter the secret realm of the Wuji Sect\'s back mountain."

"The sect elders have instructed that disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage should not easily enter the back mountain\'s secret realm, otherwise it will be very dangerous!"

Yunjin stopped at a bamboo forest, holding Yino\'s arm and earnestly warning him.

"Dangerous?" Yino raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, don\'t you doubt it! I heard that the back mountain has been haunted recently! It\'s really scary!"
