Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 20 The Daughter of Luck
There are all kinds of people in the world. There are bound to be a few ruthless scoundrels, and there are also those who have no hope of achieving immortality but are willing to fight for their descendants.

Based on fragmented memories, Gu Shihan tried her best to piece together information about the perpetrator, but the fog kept obscuring her view. It turned out that the spellcaster had used the Heaven-Covering Technique, which could cover the sky. As a mere Qi Refining cultivator, she was even less able to discover anything.

With the fusion of souls, Gu Shihan's cultivation also broke through, and she unknowingly reached the Foundation Establishment stage. It took her three whole days to break through, and now her cultivation is at the third level of Foundation Establishment.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations on successfully recovering your lost soul and spirit. The fusion is excellent, and your Fate-Changing Value has increased by 2. Fate-Changing Value can randomly increase any attribute except for your cultivation level. You have successfully activated the 'Not to be Trifled With, Cannon Fodder Reversal Mode'!" a mechanical voice announced.

Gu Shihan breathed a sigh of relief; the mission was accomplished! Some incredible information had also appeared in her memories: Gu Shihan in the spirit world was just a part of her soul, and his purpose was to wait for her, the original owner, to return.

Another thing is that she actually transmigrated into a novel about a female protagonist who is not to be trifled with when she is cultivating immortality. Gu Shihan had actually read a few chapters of this book, but she had almost forgotten what the plot was like.

All I remember is that the female lead was Gu Yufei, who had incredible luck and was a woman destined for greatness, the kind of person who could find treasures just by walking around.

There is indeed a character named Gu Shihan in the book, but he dies in the third chapter, and I don't remember how he died.

Shi Han murmured, "Gu Yufei, the only young lady in the Gu family's main branch who is most favored. It would be great if I could see her information."

As soon as she finished speaking, a transparent panel appeared in front of Shi Han, displaying Gu Yufei's information.

Name: Gu Yufei
Age: 20
Spiritual Root: Mutant Ice Spiritual Root
Qualifications: ? ? ? ?
constitution:?????
Luck: Superior (Blue)
Comprehension: Medium (Green)

Appearance: Superior

Realm: Mid-stage foundation building

Fate Attribute: Woman of Fortune
Gu Shihan fell silent, shook her head, and resolutely accepted this absurd and strange situation, making up her mind: "From now on, I am the complete Gu Shihan, a whole person with a complete soul."

Gu Shihan knew that the cycle of dying young in each life was a process of soul repair, and each time she was cannon fodder.

"I don't want to be cannon fodder!" This was a grand vow that Gu Shihan made in some unknown past life, and it has come true in this life.

To achieve self-realization and reach the highest point without becoming cannon fodder is to be completely lost to time. This is a warning issued from the depths of one's soul.

Gu Shihan suddenly snapped out of her daze and murmured, "To avoid becoming cannon fodder, to achieve self-fulfillment..."

"Hanhan, what's wrong? Why aren't you happy about advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage?" Xingbai waved her little paw in front of Shi Han's eyes.

"Xingbai, I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking about things. I feel like everything is out of my control, and I'm not used to it. Has the Ancestor woken up yet?"

"No, he'll probably be asleep for a while. We'll talk about the Gu family's affairs after your ancestor wakes up. But what are your plans for the future? Do you want to go to a sect to cultivate?"

"A sect?" As soon as the thought crossed my mind, a "ding-dong!" sound rang out, and a second task appeared on the transparent panel.

"Main quest: Join a sect within one year! Success grants +10 Fate-Changing Value, failure results in -20 Fate-Changing Value."

Gu Shihan had a headache. What kind of tasks were these? "Xingbai, can you see the transparent panel?"

"Hanhan, you need to grant me permissions for this. It was just a coincidence, because I was the one who suggested the task. Do you want to grant me permissions?" Xingbai asked.

"Open it! We're partners who've been through thick and thin together, I have no secrets from you! Let's start sharing!" "Hanhan, you're the best to Xingbai." Gu Shi and Xingbai felt as if something had bound them together.

"Hanhan, is that the transparent panel? I see it, but what does 'cannon fodder' mean? How could you be cannon fodder? How could someone who can recognize the Moon Essence Bracelet be cannon fodder?"

Xingbai was getting anxious and flustered. Gu Shihan calmly said, "Xingbai, my goal is not to be cannon fodder. Let's work together to change our fate!"

"Yes, Hanhan! I'll help you. I refuse to be cannon fodder!"

"I trust you. There are still more than ten months before the sect accepts new disciples. Let's prepare first and learn more about the situation in the Spirit Realm. Let's take a look around the cities nearby."

Gu Shihan familiarized herself with the Foundation Establishment stage techniques in the space, and also practiced the Chaos Sword Technique quite well, and was getting closer to developing sword energy.

One cannot succeed in cultivation by working in isolation; experience and real combat are essential, and these are precisely what Gu Shihan lacks.

I stayed in Yaoyang City for ten days, buying a map of the spirit world and some other miscellaneous books and jade slips.

After all, Gu Yanli has been away from the Spirit Realm for over a thousand years, so there must have been changes. These things will allow Gu Shihan to quickly understand the Spirit Realm.

I also bought quite a lot of spiritual medicine seeds, seedlings, and fruit seedlings.

I bought a lot of talisman paper and cinnabar for making talismans, and array flags, array plates, array stones and array beads for refining arrays.

I also bought some magic robes and magic treasures. After all, the items in the Moon Bracelet are of too high a level, and there aren't enough of these items suitable for low-level cultivators, so I have to buy them from outside. Fortunately, I don't lack spirit stones.

When Gu Shihan arrived at the Free Market, it was much more crowded and lively than the shops, with stalls on both sides.

It sells all kinds of things, and the shouts and calls of vendors fill the air, making it comparable to a modern market.

As they walked along, Shi Han didn't see anything she wanted to buy, and quietly asked, "Xing Bai, are you good at treasure hunting?"

"Hanhan, I am a fox, not a treasure-hunting rat, but I still have the ability to sense treasures. Let me hide in the inner pocket of your sleeve so that I can sense them up close."

"Come, come, fairy, these are from an ancient cultivator's cave. If you're lucky, you might find some treasure."

"Fairy, look at these talismans, special talismans! There's an Earth Escape Talisman, perfect for escaping, and a Teleportation Talisman is also good. Want a couple?"

Shi Han glanced at it and realized that she could draw this herself now.

"Hanhan, I sensed something good at that old cultivator's place up ahead, let's go take a look." Xingbai's voice was excited.

Shi Han walked over unhurriedly. There weren't many items on the stall, only a dozen or so: a broken sword, three black stones, two red stones, two withered grasses, a piece of iron, a jade gourd, and a wooden box.

The old cultivator saw someone stop at his stall, opened his eyes, and said, "No bargaining, one hundred spirit stones for the same item!"

"Old ghost, are you ripping off that little fairy again? You've had these things here for a month and haven't sold a single one. One hundred spirit stones a piece, why don't you just rob someone?" the middle-aged man from the next stall said disdainfully.

Gu Shihan smiled at the middle-aged man, took out a thousand spirit stones and placed them in the wooden box for storing spirit stones next to the stall, and said, "I'll take everything on this stall. Will you sell it for a thousand spirit stones?"
