Nan Yu was filled with hatred!
She hated her parents, who favored sons over daughters, hated her brothers who treated her like a slave, hated Fei Yunjin, hated the Fei family, hated everything.
But there was nothing she could do.
She couldn’t even secretly trip her ‘brother’, even if no one saw or there was any evidence, as her parents would still beat her without a reason.
Nan Yu could only grit her teeth and wait until she turned six.
The immortals would come looking for children with spiritual roots—that was her chance!
Finally, after enduring six painful years, Nan Yu finally met the person she had been waiting for.
Having four spiritual roots was not good, even terrible. Even if she goes to a celestial sect, she will only have the aptitude to sweep floors and guard doors, with little hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, Nan Yu was overjoyed. Finally, she could escape her disgusting parents and brothers, even if it meant sweeping floors!
Besides, the items for her mission could only be obtained in the cultivation world.
The sooner she got them, the sooner she could leave this world, accumulate enough points to go back to the past, and change everything!
However, life in the cultivation world wasn’t as good as Nan Yu had imagined. Here, cultivation level determines everything. Someone like Nan Yu, lacking aptitude, background, and cultivation—a ‘three-nothing’ individual—was someone who anyone could easily trample on.
Especially… After a period of nurturing in the cultivation world, Nan Yu discovered that she had a face that resembled her previous life by about five-tenths.
In other words, she was quite good-looking!
If it were before, Nan Yu would have been proud of her appearance, but after six years of enduring the contempt and humiliation from her sect, she understood very well that her appearance was a curse rather than a blessing.
Among cultivators, there is a type of person called a furnace or cauldron, and Nan Yu is the perfect candidate for this role.
If she were to truly fall to that state, Nan Yu would rather die!
To feign ugliness?
No way!
The immortal sects have high requirements for appearance and cleanliness, so she couldn’t suddenly have a birthmark on her face. For someone with a higher cultivation level than Nan Yu, that would be an obvious and clumsy trick.
After noticing the subtly suspicious gazes of some people, Nan Yu made a decision.
While helping the immortal master clean the alchemy room, Nan Yu ‘accidentally’ broke a bottle of medicine, and the liquid splashed onto her face.
Nan Yu was disfigured.
The right half of her face was completely unrecognizable, with pockmarked skin that looked like scabies; even looking at it for a second was disgusting.
Actually, this kind of injury wasn’t incurable for cultivators; a single Xuan-grade muscle-regenerating pill would suffice. The key issue was that no one was willing to spend that money on Nan Yu.
Was she beautiful?
In the cultivation world, where beauties abound, she was nothing special. A single Xuan-grade pill could easily buy two beauties like Nan Yu. So, after discovering her disfigurement, those people initially cursed her a few times, but later, probably finding it too gruesome, they didn’t bother Nan Yu anymore.
In the thirty-sixth year of her cultivation journey, Nan Yu finally obtained the task item and completed the task.
“Task rating: C. 250 points earned.”
“Comment: Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!”
Nan Yu: “…”
She felt a strong sense of mockery from both the points and the comments.
Nan Yu thought that she would be angry, but she was actually surprisingly calm. The torment of these years had finally taught Nan Yu the meaning of forbearance.
She also learned that if her rating in this beginner’s quest was below C, she would be considered unqualified and sent back to where she came from—something not mentioned beforehand.
Fortunately, even though she barely passed, Nan Yu still managed to get through and received a newbie bonus: a system.
