…
Staring at the attribute list in front of him, eleven-year-old Han Jue was almost in despair.
The Spirit Root Qualities and Innate Fortune can be rolled daily to randomly change, but only once per day, with a refresh at 7 AM every morning.
Han Jue started rolling from the day he was born.
Eleven years had passed, and he had never rolled out top-notch qualities or outstanding innate fortune.
"Should I just give up?"
A thought popped into Han Jue's mind.
No way!
After finally arriving in a world of immortals, demons, and spirits, how could he remain a mere mortal?
Han Jue wanted to be the protagonist of a novel!
Roll again!
Han Jue raised his hand and tapped the attribute list in front of him.
The Spirit Root Qualities changed!
【Spirit Root Qualities: None]]
Han Jue's young face instantly turned dark.
Tap again!
【Heavenly Solitary Star: Curses family, spouse, and friends; leads a solitary life; lifespan increased by a century]]
What the hell!
The Heavenly Solitary Star has appeared!
Who wants to live a solitary life!
Han Jue, enraged, lay down and rolled on the grass, kicking his legs.
For eleven whole years, he couldn't roll out top-notch Spirit Root Qualities or Innate Fortune!
No way!
Keep rolling!
I refuse to believe it!
Han Jue was trembling with anger.
After half an hour of折腾, he finally got up.
Han Jue was a reincarnated person, his previous life from the 21st century on Earth, where he was diagnosed with terminal cancer at a young age. Unwilling to endure painful treatments, he returned home to wait for death. On the night of his diagnosis, to numb himself, he found a nostalgic cultivation game to play.
He played all night, feeling very excited, and fell asleep at dawn, then passed away.
When he opened his eyes again, he was reborn into a world similar to ancient times, born within a cultivation sect.
The Yuqing Sect, a righteous cultivation sect of the Great Yan Dynasty.
On the day he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Han Jue was extremely terrified, realizing for the first time how important life was.
In this life, he could actually cultivate!
He was overjoyed!
He was determined to cultivate!
He wanted to live longer than anyone else!
But he couldn't cultivate as a mortal!
After birth, Han Jue lived without pressure. His parents were servants of the alchemist Elder Tie of the Yuqing Sect, who planted medicinal herbs for him daily.
Alchemists held a special status; no one in the outer sect dared to offend Elder Tie. Elder Tie had dozens of servants, all of whom were mortals.
Even if they had Spirit Roots, Elder Tie did not allow them to cultivate, probably fearing they would steal his herbs.
His herbs were beneficial to cultivators but were absolutely poisonous to mortals.
However, when he was six years old, his parents fled, leaving young Han Jue in Elder Tie's herb garden.
Han Jue understood that it would be inconvenient to flee with a child.
Elder Tie did not hold it against them and instead had someone lead Han Jue to help plant herbs.
Over time, Han Jue became familiar with all the plants in the herb garden.
Elder Tie did not make things difficult for Han Jue, so he continued to roll for Innate Fortune.
Since he was a mortal, he might as well wait a bit longer.
"Sigh, keep rolling. If I don't roll out an extraordinary fortune by the age of thirty, then so be it, I'll cultivate as a mortal," Han Jue thought to himself.
The oldest servant in the herb garden was already over seventy, named Old Wang. He was chosen by Elder Tie when he was a teenager and was now the leader of the servants, whom all the other servants followed.
Han Jue got up, returned to the herb garden, and began watering and cleaning up dead leaves.
The herb garden was large, about the size of a football field. Each servant worked carefully, as Elder Tie would be furious if they accidentally damaged the plants. Some herbs were highly toxic.
Elder Tie had left last month and was expected to return in two to three years.
For cultivators, two to three years was nothing.
In the herb garden, Han Jue was quiet and had no friends, only interacting more with Old Wang.
After finishing his work, he returned to his room and started doing push-ups to strengthen his body.
…
The next morning, Han Jue finished washing up.
He sat on the wooden bed and waited.
He waited until the attribute list refreshed, then he perked up.
It felt like a lottery.
This was the most anticipated part of his day.
He rubbed his hands.
First, roll the Spirit Root Qualities.
【Spirit Root Qualities: None]]
Damn!
This is too unfair!
Han Jue was almost furious.
His hands started trembling, and he continued to roll for Innate Fortune!
The dice rolled!
【Innate Fortune as Follows]]
【Peerless Beauty: Supreme charm and beauty]]
【Heavenly Sword Enthusiast: Supreme Sword Dao qualities and insight]]
【Unmatched Agility: Supreme agility qualities]]
【Descendant of an Immortal Emperor: After starting the game of life, obtain a supreme cultivation technique and a thousand high-quality spirit stones]]
Han Jue was stunned.
His eyes widened, and he was suddenly overjoyed.
Four innate fortunes!
This was the first time he had rolled out four innate fortunes, and they all looked amazing.
Han Jue became more and more excited.
This is it!
No!
They!
Four supreme, one peerless!
They looked incredible.
After rolling for eleven years, day after day, his hard work finally paid off!
Han Jue tried to calm down.
Without Spirit Root Qualities, he couldn't start the game of life yet.
He had to roll for Spirit Roots again.
"Finally, the hard times are over. With these four supreme innate fortunes, even if I start cultivating at forty, it will still be in time. I can roll for Spirit Root Qualities with peace of mind," Han Jue thought, feeling elated.
He had already rolled for eleven years; what was another eleven years?
Han Jue took a deep breath, then got up and started his daily work.
The house he lived in had six people, each with their own bed. The others had already gotten up early.
Each person was responsible for a specific area, and they dared not make any mistakes.
Han Jue was still young and only needed to do simple tasks; Elder Tie didn't dare to assign him a specific area.
The sunlight was particularly bright that day.
Perhaps it was due to his mood.
The other servants didn't notice Han Jue's change; the four innate fortunes' bonuses had not yet appeared since he hadn't started the game of life.
At noon, two cultivators arrived.
The Yuqing Sect was vast, and the herb garden was surrounded by mountains. Cultivators were not allowed to enter this area; most of the time, outer sect enforcers came to request medicinal pills. These two cultivators had excellent auras, one male and one female, like a divine couple, attracting all the servants to turn and look.
Han Jue also turned to look at the herb garden's entrance.
"Truly splendid," Han Jue sighed.
The servants' clothes were tattered, while the two cultivators' robes were clean and elegant, like NPCs from a cultivation game.
Han Jue just sighed casually; he was not envious at all.
He had already rolled out four innate fortunes, and his future achievements would far surpass those of the Yuqing Sect's outer sect disciples.
"From today on, we two will be responsible for guarding Elder Tie's herb garden. You don't need to pay attention to us, and you must not disturb our cultivation," the male cultivator said expressionlessly to Old Wang.
