Chapter 5 View Space
Gu Shihan walked over and opened them one by one to check. Bottles of pills appeared before her eyes: Marrow Cleansing Pill, Yuan Nourishing Pill, Spirit Replenishing Pill, Bone Regenerating Pill, Golden Core Pill, Nascent Soul Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Creation Pill... Almost all of them were high-grade pills, and the quality was all excellent, with some even being top-grade pills.

Another cabinet contained various martial arts techniques, such as the Chaos Sword Technique, the Flowing Fire Technique, the Rejuvenation Technique, and the Frost Archer Technique, along with some books and jade slips on one side.

Gu Shihan didn't know how to read the jade slip, but he could still look at the books, including cultivation guides, talisman encyclopedias, detailed explanations of formations, complete collections of herbs, essentials of alchemy, records of pill formulas, and so on, totaling no less than a hundred books.

As he continued looking, he came across the area filled with magical artifacts and weapons. All of them were high-grade items. Apart from those magical artifacts that came with built-in defense, Shi Han couldn't use any of them.

However, there is another thing that can be used, which is storage magic items, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, storage bags, jade pendants, etc., but they all require cultivation before they can be used.

Gu Shihan looked through the information again. After ten thousand years of changes, the Moon Bracelet's grade has dropped again and again, and now it is only about the size of five acres of land.

To unlock other areas, the owner of the Moon Bracelet must cultivate the techniques within the space. Of course, if the Moon Bracelet encounters any rare and precious treasures that it needs, it may also grow stronger.

Gu Shihan didn't care about these things; with that land, she no longer had to worry about making a living.

There's also that cultivation technique, which Gu Shihan wants to learn. She really enjoys practicing cultivation, since strength is always the most important factor for survival.

Gu Shihan, who originally planned to leave after taking revenge, decided to stay in Lingshan for the time being because of the existence of the space.

However, we must find another place to live, as this place is too close to Lingshan Village, and we fear that we might be discovered.

With this in mind, Gu Shihan decided to venture deep into the mountains to find a suitable place to live.

Persistence pays off; they found a hidden cave on a cliff five miles away from the original cave.

Gu Shihan was very satisfied with the location of the cave, which was more than ten feet away from the top of the cliff. As for how deep it was from the bottom of the cliff, she did not know.

Descending from the top of the cliff into the cave, which is not large, there are two small stone caves that can be used as living rooms. Interestingly, the cave is also a passageway that leads directly to the other side of the cliff.

On the other side of the passage was a valley, filled with wildflowers and some thorns, and there was a pond in the middle of the valley. It seemed to be a good place to live in seclusion.

Gu Shihan cleaned up the cave before nodding and saying, "It seems it's time to go and buy some things. We need to live a good life, don't we?"

Gu Shihan disguised herself and returned to Lingshan Village. She wanted to find Shi Peng's whereabouts; she couldn't let this man get away.

After so many days of training, Gu Shihan's skills have returned to a lot. In her previous life, she was quite skilled, especially in hiding her abilities, which were unparalleled. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become a dagger to the enemy.

That day, I hid in a large banyan tree next to the ancestral hall in Lingshan Village, listening attentively to the women chatting below.

"Old woman Shi, you said your Liu ran away with a man and her daughter. I just can't believe it. Liu is such an honest and upright person, if she wanted to run away, she would have done so long ago," a woman questioned.

“What’s impossible about that? She has to think about her daughter, right? I heard from Shi Peng in town that her niece, Han’er, could be sold for twenty taels of silver. It must be because Liu Shi found out that she had no choice but to leave Lingshan Village.” Zhao’s second sister-in-law glanced disdainfully at Shi’s mother. “What a tragedy! She wouldn’t even spare her own niece. What kind of good place is it that can sell her for twenty taels? Selling her to a wealthy family as a maid would only get you seven or eight taels. It’s truly heartless.” Liu’s eldest sister-in-law also cursed.

"You...you're making baseless accusations! My youngest son isn't like that at all! If you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"

Granny Shi couldn't stand anyone speaking ill of her youngest son, so she turned and left angrily.

"He has a conscience? I'm afraid his conscience has been eaten by dogs. When Zhuangzi got into trouble, he used the money meant for Zhuangzi's life-saving treatment to go to brothels. If it weren't for that, Zhuangzi might still be alive."

What I despise most is that his elder brother's body is barely cold, and he's already making advances towards Liu. Last time, if Liu hadn't cried out for help and been seen by the child's father, he would have assaulted his own sister-in-law. What a shameless scoundrel!

"Sister-in-law Erzhu, is what you said true?" Sister-in-law Liu asked hurriedly.

"How can it not be true? Sister-in-law Liu, I heard that your niece is currently... This is unacceptable! No matter how much the dowry is, it's not acceptable. You must talk to your elder brother and sister-in-law, they absolutely cannot push their daughter into a fire pit!" Sister-in-law Erzhu glared at Granny Shi who had walked away and said.

"I thought he was just a bit of a layabout and that things would get better after he got married. I never expected him to... he still frequents brothels? And... he even wants to have an affair with his own sister-in-law? No way, I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow and tell them this marriage can't go through."

"Besides, Liu is such a good daughter-in-law, and the Shi family can't even treat her well. Their family is truly a living hell." Liu's eldest sister-in-law patted her chest and said.

"That's right, the Shi family is a living hell. Look at Shi Du's wife, has she had a single day of happiness?"
I used to think that since Liu hadn't given birth to a son, Shi Du's wife must have. But as everyone can see, she has endless chores and looks older than me despite her young age. Fortunately, Shi Du is a good man and doesn't hit his wife.

"But even if he doesn't lay a hand on her, Granny Shi will. I've seen the slap marks on Shi Du's wife's face several times. It's truly a tragedy!" sighed Erzhu's sister-in-law.

"Sigh! It's home now... Alright, enough chit-chat, I need to go back to feed the pigs and cook." Sister-in-law Liu made an excuse to leave, and the others followed suit. Gu Shihan slid down from the banyan tree and headed towards the Shi family's old house. She wanted to stay in Lingshan, so she needed to prepare some daily necessities.

Liu didn't have much money left behind, not enough to buy anything. Her goal today was to steal money from Granny Shi.

No, it shouldn't be called stealing money, it should be called taking it, because the money in Granny Shi's hands was basically earned by her parents and her third uncle and aunt, so why not take it?

Sneaking into the Shi family's old house, neither Old Man Shi nor Shi Du and his wife were home. Old Woman Shi was picking vegetables in the garden, which was the perfect opportunity.

He jumped over the courtyard wall and entered Granny Cheng's room with practiced ease. The room was quite large, with a large wooden bed, a wooden wardrobe, a wooden table, and two chairs.

The workmanship of the items is not meticulous and is somewhat rough, but the advantage is that they are sturdy.

Gu Shihan searched the room and found a rough porcelain jar under the bed. She dragged it out, glanced at it, but didn't touch it.

No matter how far apart we are, our hearts are connected. Could you please cast your vote?
