Xiao Li then followed her master to cultivate in the mountains. She attended classes during the week and spent the rest of her time learning Taoist arts.
She wasn't very talented and it took her a long time to even begin to understand the basics. She couldn't even open her third eye and had to rely on smearing cow tears to see ghosts.
Her magical abilities are weak; she only knows some fortune-telling skills and cannot use magic.
The master and apprentice also frequently took on tasks to cover their daily expenses.
One evening, Jingyan received a business deal from a newly opened construction site.
The construction site had just started when two workers were already involved in accidents: one fell from a height and the other had his arm broken by a steel pipe.
Although none of them were serious, the foreman already sensed something was wrong.
After Jingyan went to see it, she thought it was just a mischievous little ghost, so she performed a ritual, made some offerings, and asked the little ghost to leave.
Unexpectedly, these accidents were actually caused by the foreman's wrongdoings.
Three days later, more accidents occurred at the construction site, the most serious of which resulted in the deaths of three people.
All three people were impaled by broken steel bars and died horribly, leaving the scene in a mess.
This alarmed the police, and the construction site was sealed off, but the trouble was not over yet.
Jingyan then realized that there was an evolved, vengeful ghost at the construction site, whose power was even greater than her own.
Unable to bear seeing the people at the construction site get hurt, Jingyan disregarded the potential backlash she might suffer and forcibly activated a forbidden technique to destroy the vengeful ghost.
However, her own body was also damaged, and she could no longer use magic.
The foreman suffered heavy losses; the construction site had been sealed off, and he couldn't offer much compensation. Jingyan had no money to buy medicine to recuperate, and soon fell ill.
With Xiao Li's mediocre skills, the Taoist temple couldn't get any work at all, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Therefore, Xiao Li often went to the underpasses and overpasses to tell fortunes and make money.
The two barely made ends meet on their meager income.
A year later, Xiao Li's great calamity arrived. Jing Yan was very worried, but she couldn't say anything. She originally thought she could help her disciple get through the calamity on her own, but now she had lost all her magic power and couldn't help at all.
Xiao Li was completely unaware of this and worked hard every day to earn money.
One night, she returned home late and was hit on the head by a stone on the road. Then, she was possessed by a spirit from another world named Xiao Li.
Xiao Li comes from a family of Taoist practitioners. She diligently studied magic using her family's traditions and eventually became a Taoist master with some fame.
She became a sensation in Taoist circles, even falling in love with a Taoist priest, and ultimately achieved success in both love and career.
She accepted everything from the original owner, except for her master, Jingyan, whom she strongly disagreed with.
After Xiao Li possessed the body, she received some of the memories. She believed that Jing Yan was just taking advantage of the original owner and was a pedantic, stubborn, and selfish person.
They didn't pass on their skills to the original owner at all, which is why the original owner didn't learn any magic.
So after she arrived, she moved out of the Lotus Temple, returned to the school, and never went to see Jingyan again.
In the end, Jingyan died of illness at Lotus Temple, and no one even came to collect her body.
The original owner's wish was not to let the soul from another world take over his body.
We must also protect our master, ensure he enjoys his later years in peace, and carry forward the Lotus Temple.
?
Xiao Li opened her eyes. When she arrived, Jing Yan had already injured her body and was relying on the original owner of the body to support her.
This period was the most difficult time.
Xiao Li crossed her legs; in this long night, she couldn't slack off on her cultivation.
This world has a spirit, but it is very thin.
By practicing her cultivation technique and taking the pills, Xiao Li quickly entered the Qi Refining stage.
As dawn approached, Xiao Li entered the space, tidied herself up, and then came out.
After I finished making breakfast, I saw Jingyan come out.
Jingyan glanced at Xiaoli a few times, a look of joy in her eyes.
"Xiao Xiao, you look very different today. Have you broken through in your cultivation?"
Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, Master, last night I suddenly felt that the Milky Way was brilliant, and I felt as if I was merging into it, and then I broke through."
Jingyan was overjoyed. "You've had an epiphany! That's so rare! No wonder you've changed so much today. This is a rare opportunity!"
He then blamed himself, saying, "It's all my fault for being useless. I never told you how important this was before. Luckily, you didn't miss this opportunity, otherwise it would have been such a pity."
Xiao Li picked a piece of vegetables for Jing Yan with her chopsticks. These were wild vegetables she had picked in her space, and they tasted even better than those from outside.
“Master, that’s how fate works. If I get it, I’m lucky; if I lose it, it’s my fate! Don’t take it to heart, Master.”
Jingyan smiled with satisfaction, picked up some vegetables, and ate them with her porridge.
"I'm in a good mood today, even the wild vegetables taste delicious. It's also because Xiao Xiao's cooking skills have improved that they taste so good."
Xiao Li just smiled and didn't say anything, just like a child being praised.
After the two finished eating, Xiaoli carried her bag and went down the mountain. She was going back to school for classes, and then she would go back to her stall after class.
"Xiao Xiao, you look even prettier today! What skincare products did you use? Your face is so much whiter."
This is Wang Qiao, the original owner's good friend. She came over and took Xiao Li's arm, and the two went to the classroom together.
"I made my own skincare products; I'll bring you some next time."
Xiaoli immediately had a way to make money.
Wang Qiao nodded happily, "Then I won't be polite, I'll treat you to chicken legs next time."
Wang Qiao's family wasn't wealthy either; having an extra chicken leg occasionally was already a luxury.
"Okay, if you like it, you have to promote it for me. I'll give you a share of the profits."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Wang Qiao also realized that this was a great way to make money.
The original owner didn't have many classes, and had no classes in the afternoon, so Xiao Li packed her things and left the school.
She inherited the original owner's memories and learned a lot about physiognomy. She secretly looked at the faces of her classmates and teachers in class and found it quite novel.
Take her good friend Wang Qiao, for example. Her eyes are big, bright, and clear, which shows that she is a pure-hearted person.
Her mouth protrudes slightly, indicating that she's a bit gossipy and has a good tongue; she'd be perfect for spreading news.
Xiao Li walked onto the overpass and sat down against the railing. She did not take out the original owner's clothes.
That outfit consisted of a wooden pole with strips of cloth hanging from it.
The sign above reads "Fortune Telling and Physiognomy," but it looks completely fake.
Although the original owner knew a little bit about physiognomy, she was still very inexperienced and had not mastered it at all. She was not even as good as Xiao Li, who had only browsed through it once.
At least Xiao Li's powerful divine sense allows her to see many things clearly; she can see ghosts without even opening her third eye.
Xiao Li carefully observed the passersby and discovered many things she had never noticed before.
For example, this man has a broad and open facial structure and a bright forehead, which makes him look like a person with great vision and magnanimity.
"Xiao Wang, I'm across from the teahouse now. Has Chairman Li arrived yet? There are still ten minutes until the appointed time. I'll be there soon."
Take this beautiful woman for example. She has an oval face, a widow's peak, and a wide distance between her eyebrows and eyes, which immediately gives her a long-term vision and foresight.
