The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 1: Ugly Girl Marrying

In the cold winter, Ningyu Mountain, the ancestral home of the Chen family.

It's a tiring winter day, but the warm sun comes once again, and the birds on the branches are chirping non-stop.

In a house on the mountainside, the widow Chen Wu looked at her pale-faced daughter with a look of self-blame and sorrow on her face.

Cough cough--

At this time, the woman lying on the bed woke up with a cough.

Chen Jinshu opened her eyes dazedly, and all of a sudden, a lot of memories flooded into her mind.

"What? I traveled through time?"

After receiving the memory and understanding what was happening, Chen Jinshu suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.

The orange-yellow ancient wooden building has a faint smell of pine resin burning on the side, mixed with a strong medicinal aroma.

Next to her sat a woman with a sad face, dressed in noble and elegant clothes, so beautiful that people dared not desecrate her.

She subconsciously said, "Mom!"

"Eh!"

When the widow Chen Wu saw her daughter wake up, her eyes flashed with surprise.

"Shu'er, don't get up yet. Let me check your body first."

Under Chen Jinshu's surprised gaze, Chen Wu pinched her hands together, and in a trance, a faint green light flashed from her hands, and a green spiritual power probed towards her body.

Chen Jinshu only felt that his whole body was soaked in a warm power, and his body also emitted a green light.

"Is this the method of cultivating immortality?"

From her original body's memories, she knew that she had traveled to the world of immortal cultivation and became a member of the foundation-building family, the Chen family, and the second daughter of Chen Jinshu, the widow Chen Wu, who had the same name as her.

Chen Jinshu felt that rather than saying that she had traveled through time, it would be more appropriate to say that she had awakened to the mystery in the womb.

Because of the memories of staying in the Chen family for sixteen years, every scene I have seen is particularly unforgettable, as if I had experienced it personally.

The beautiful woman in front of her was the mother she had called for sixteen years, Chen Wu, whose original name was Wu Shuya.

Because she married Chen Jinshu's father Chen Wen'an, she was named Chen Wu.

However, her father died in a family monster hunting operation three years ago, and she became the famous beautiful widow of the Chen family.

“It really isn’t a big deal anymore.”

After Chen Wu finished the investigation, she felt secretly happy and relieved.

"You must never do anything stupid in the future. Isn't it just because your appearance is not so good that your chances of being selected are small? Why would you take such a risky pill?"

There was some criticism in Mrs. Chen Wu's tone, and she was even choked up, but her eyes were full of heartache and love.

What Chen Wu was talking about was the Chen family's marriage selection every three years.

Often at this time, the direct descendants of each foundation-building family would begin to discuss marriage arrangements, with each family having one or two marriage quotas.

Once chosen by the Chen family's top management, she can marry into other foundation-building families to strengthen the family's connections with various tribes.

Of course, the prerequisite is to be selected by the direct descendants of those foundation-building families.

The Chen family is the last of the five foundation-building families in the Baichong Mountains. In order to consolidate the Chen family's position and obtain the protection of other foundation-building families, the Chen family used this method of marriage.

It was originally a hard job, but in order to make the female cultivators in the family willing to do it, the Chen family added a lot of benefits. They could get an extra monthly salary from the family every year, and once they got married, they would bring a large amount of spirit stones and cultivation elixirs as dowry.

And the better you marry, the better the reward you will get.

Therefore, marriage became the dream of many female cultivators in the Chen family.

Women in ancient times could not escape marriage in the end. In addition, resources in the world of immortal cultivation are even more scarce nowadays. If the resources for cultivation can be solved at the same time as getting married, wouldn’t that be a good thing?

Chen Jinshu also has an older sister named Chen Jinfang, who has four spiritual roots but is extremely beautiful. Three years ago, she was chosen by the neighboring Wang family, who were building their foundation, and became the wife of the legitimate son.

Originally, she had only reached the third level of Qi training, but with the support of the Chen family's resources and the love of her husband from the Wang family, she broke through to the fifth level of Qi training after three years of practice.

Chen Jinshu was very envious of this. Although she had better spiritual roots than her sister, with three spiritual roots, she looked much worse than her sister. She was a famous ugly girl in the Chen family, especially with a red birthmark between her eyebrows, which made her look extremely ugly.

Since she was born, she has been ridiculed by her fellow tribesmen, and even her sister dislikes her.

Every time he goes back to the Chen family to visit his mother, he shows off his cultivation and treatment.

Chen Jinshu was extremely jealous. Seeing that the Chen family's marriage selection, which was held every three years, was about to begin, he became a little anxious.

If she missed this opportunity, she would have to wait three years, or marry into a side branch of the family, which would not only reduce her resources but also potentially ruin her cultivation. Chen Jinshu had heard from somewhere that the Huanyan Pill could enhance her beauty, and after a tremendous amount of effort and spending all her spirit stones, she finally obtained one.

She thought she could change her fate from now on, but she never expected that this Huanyan Pill almost cost her life.

The Huanyan Pill does have the effect of improving beauty, but it requires a complete transformation, which is almost the same as growing a new face.

Chen Jinshu's cultivation was still shallow, only at the second level of Qi training. He could not bear this kind of pain at all. He lost half of his life and almost lost all his cultivation.

"My sister and mother are both so beautiful. No wonder the original self did such a stupid thing." Chen Jinshu looked at his mother who was as beautiful as a fairy, sighed softly, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the original self.

How can it not be a tragedy to be born into a family that relies on marriage to survive?

"Just focus on recovering from your injuries. Mother will go and ask your clan leader, Uncle, to help you find a solution."

Mrs. Chen Wu looked at her daughter's dazed look, her thick, curled eyelashes trembling slightly, fearing that she would do something stupid again.

"Mom! No! My daughter never wants to get married again!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu immediately shook his head.

"You're talking nonsense again!"

Mrs. Chen Wu smoothed the hair on her temples.

"Really!" Chen Jinshu said firmly.

When she finally realized the mystery in her womb, she was very clear in her mind that marriage was tantamount to ruining her path.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen Wu paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Something seemed different about her daughter.

……

The courtyard is surrounded by towering walls, the pavilions are exquisite, and the tiled roofs are covered with thick snow, turning them pure white.

At this time, a shout was heard outside the house.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Just lie down and let me take a look."

As soon as she walked out of the house, Chen Wu saw Chen Jinshu's second uncle Chen Wentan standing outside the yard.

"Why are you here, second brother?"

"I heard Shu'er did something stupid. I came to see her." Chen Wentan stared at the other person in a daze, his eyes flashing with concern.

"She's fine now. Thank you for your concern, second brother."

"Oh! This kid is really something. If there is anything wrong, we should all work together to find a solution. How can he take a pill like the Huanyan Pill that has such serious side effects?"

"I've already pleaded with the clan leader. A marriage should be arranged for Shu'er soon. After all, Shu'er is quite talented, so there's a good chance she'll marry into a good family."

"Thank you, second brother, sister-in-law!" Chen Wu was slightly delighted when she heard this. She bowed slightly and couldn't wait to tell her daughter the news.

"You're welcome. My eldest brother passed away and left nothing behind. We should help each other."

……

Chen Jinshu, who was in the house, heard the conversation outside and wanted to get up, but the strength in his legs had not yet recovered and he could not move, so he had to lie down obediently.

That night, Chen Jinshu suddenly had an inspiration and discovered that his hands and feet could move.

She immediately stood up and walked to the mirror, and saw a young face with a face like lotus and eyebrows like willows, but there was a red mark the size of the back of a hand on the forehead, which covered the eyelids, instantly lowering her appearance by several levels.

"It's not really ugly. Appearance is innate, and it's not something you can decide."

"If it were covered with concealer in modern times, wouldn't this be a beauty?"

She took a closer look and found that this face was even more charming than her mother's.

Afterwards, Chen Jinshu cleared her mind of distractions and began to practice the exercises according to the memories in her mind. She had three spiritual roots: fire, wood, and gold, and she specialized in the wood spiritual root.

The technique is the family's wood-attributed Qigong technique called "The Art of Evergreen".

However, just as she practiced the technique, the red birthmark on her forehead strangely lit up with a green light...
