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

Chapter 30 The Art of Seduction
The stall owner smiled and said, "Fairy, my family has been making puppets for generations. If we hadn't lost part of our heritage, we could have even made combat puppets."

The materials for making puppets are becoming increasingly rare. If my son hadn't been injured and needed a lot of spirit stones to buy pills, I really wouldn't have put these puppets up for sale.

"Fairy, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Buying this will definitely be a great deal!"

"Junior sister, pick a few if you want to buy them! Your senior brother will buy them for you!" Mo Yu said with a smile.

"Hmm, how about 400,000 spirit stones? Look, I'll buy four at once, that's a group purchase price." Gu Shihan thought for a moment but didn't try to bargain.

"Good! Fairy has good judgment. Please take good care of me in the future! My name is Chang Si." The man said with a smile.

"Chang Si?!" The transparent panel reappeared in front of Gu Shihan.

Name: Chang Si

Age: 62
Spiritual Roots: Fire, Wood, Earth
Qualification: Intermediate

Constitution: Ordinary

Luck: Medium (Green)
Comprehension: Medium (Green)

Appearance: Average (on the road)
Realm: Late Foundation Establishment

Fate attribute: Male supporting character, cannon fodder physique, rogue cultivator, who perished in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm half a year later, and whose turning point was a high-grade Qing Ling Pill.

Gu Shihan was stunned for a moment. It was another male supporting character. She remembered that this person didn't have many scenes with the female lead in the book. The only time they interacted was when he sold a high-level puppet to Gu Yufei.

It was this puppet that greatly strengthened the soul within Gu Yufei's mustard seed space, because the puppet's materials contained a piece of ten-thousand-year-old soul-soothing wood.

"Ding dong, side quest activated, providing Chang Si with a chance to reverse his fate, one Qingling Pill! Fate-reversing value +10."

A glint flashed in Gu Shihan's eyes. This task was simple, and she happened to have Qingling Pills in her space.

Thinking of this, she made a decision. Since the puppet had now come into her hands and cut off the female lead's opportunity, she could lend a hand. As for the final outcome, that was beyond her control.

Gu Shihan quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chang. This is my senior brother, Mo Yu."

"Fellow Daoist Chang, please be extra careful in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm three months from now. Please accept this Qing Ling Pill."

Chang Si was also a generous person. He waved his hand and said, "Fairy Gu, the Qingling Pill is not an ordinary pill. It would seem pretentious of me, Chang Si, to refuse it. Thank you!"

Chang Si handed the puppet to Gu Shihan, then picked through the beginner puppets and chose a particularly exquisite one, saying, "This is the best quality among the beginner ones, it's yours!"

Gu Shihan accepted the gift and thanked them. Just as she was about to leave, a fair and delicate hand reached out and grabbed the only two high-level puppets in Gu Shihan's hand.

"Fellow Daoist, I'll buy this puppet at double the price. Please part with it!" A gentle female voice rang out.

"Sorry, my junior sister has already bought it!" Mo Yu raised his hand to block the man's hand and said coldly. Gu Yufei stared at the puppet, secretly regretting that she hadn't used more force to get the item into her hand.

She immediately adopted a charming and coquettish demeanor, saying softly, "Senior brother, Yufei really wants it, please part with it! I... I will remember this favor!"

A flash of coldness crossed Gu Shihan's eyes, and the mission was restarted.

"Ding dong, main quest activated. Weaken the luck index of the Lady of Destiny until... Fate-Changing Value +10... Note: Do not directly steal the Lady of Destiny's luck!"

Gu Shihan had a headache. It seemed that this mission would be difficult to complete, and it would be a long-term one. However, since there was a mission, she had to complete it. She didn't want to become cannon fodder.

Gu Shihan felt no guilt whatsoever for prematurely cutting off Gu Yufei's opportunity, after all, it wasn't like she had snatched it directly from her hands.
Gu Shihan's hatred for stealing my spiritual root, the hatred for being targeted by tracking powder in Yaoyang City, and now he's trying to steal my things again—this person is truly despicable.

Gu Shihan raised her eyes and said coldly, "Gu Yufei! Why do you like to steal other people's things so much? I'm not selling!"

"Sister, you know Yufei? That's great! I don't know your name? If you sell the puppet to me, I'll buy it for double the price. How about that?!" Gu Yufei said with a smile and a sweet voice, but her body leaned towards Mo Yu.

Gu Yufei quickly looked up at Mo Yu, her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling, her figure curvaceous and alluring, truly deserving of the title of a natural beauty. Her captivating beauty made the cultivators on the side involuntarily sway.

Mo Yu frowned. There were quite a few beauties in the Five Flowers Sect. The number one beauty in the past was Venerable Miaoyin, and his junior sister Gu Shihan was also a standard beauty.

Beauty held no appeal for Mo Yu. It was simply because the people around him were all quite attractive, and he had seen his fair share of beautiful women. He was somewhat averse to beauties like Gu Yufei, who exuded such alluring charm.

"Gu Yufei, which eye of yours saw that I'm older than you? Stop talking nonsense, I bought these things, I'm not selling them!" Gu Shihan stepped forward and blocked Mo Yu's way, coldly refusing.

"Sister... Ah! Little sister, I really love that puppet, please part with it! Double, no! Triple the price, I'll buy it!" Gu Yufei had no choice, because the spatial soul Atai made her determined to get the puppet.

She didn't know what the puppet was, but since Atai needed it, it must be something good, because all the good things she had obtained along the way had been obtained through Atai's guidance.

In her memory, she had many fortunate encounters, except for one time when she was robbed in Yaoyang City. She searched for that person for a long time afterward, but still found nothing.

This time, she didn't want to give up. The closer she got to Gu Shihan and his senior brother, the stronger her desire became. She didn't know if this feeling was directed at the puppet or the human.

Gu Yufei's eyes darted around, and she focused her attention on Mo Yu, thinking to herself, "This man is more handsome and dashing than the male cultivators around me. His aloof appearance makes my heart flutter. If only I could conquer him and make him my devoted follower, that would be wonderful. Hmm, making him my number one companion wouldn't be out of the question."

Mo Yu felt disgusted by Gu Yufei's scrutiny, pulled Gu Shihan back a few steps, and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, please have some self-respect. My junior sister's things are not for sale."

Chang Si, who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed something and said, "Yes, fairy, if you want puppets, I have a few more on my stall. Those were bought by that fairy with spirit stones."

"Hmph, how could those tattered things possibly meet my Yufei's standards? These two are barely acceptable. Let me tell you, we are the Gu family, so be sensible." The man beside Gu Yufei sneered disdainfully.

"Oh ho, another familiar face, cannon fodder Lei Luo!" Gu Shihan then noticed the several male cultivators behind Gu Yufei, one of whom was none other than cannon fodder Lei Luo.

Gu Yufei is truly quite capable. One of the men is a Golden Core cultivator, and even a high-level cultivator is willing to serve by her side, which shows how lucky she is.
