Cultivation: My Xuanyu Mirror Knows Everything

[Cultivation] [Power fantasy] [Cautious protagonist] [Mortal's journey] Liu Yu transmigrates. His aptitude is average, he has no connections, his life is unremarkable, and his future is uncertain. From the start, he's merely a menial disciple tending the stove in the Spirit Cuisine Hall. He thinks he'll spend the rest of his life as ash by the hearth, until a mysterious Imperial Defense Mirror drops into his sea of consciousness. The mirror can't see Great Golden Immortals or peer into fate and karma. But it can reveal information directly related to Liu Yu: A Golden Core Cultivator who sees him as an insect is injured when the Imperial Defense Mirror protects its master and will die in a desolate wilderness three days later. If I don't loot the body, who will? The steward who can't stand the sight of him plans to swindle him out of his pills. Who would have guessed that all the steward's ill-gotten gains from years of embezzlement are hidden in a secret room? I'll rob the rich and help myself! There are plenty of discarded swords in the sword mound behind the mountain, but every sword hides another within, concealing extraordinary promise. A mysterious opportunity waits for the destined one. Looks like I'm that destined one. In the world of Cultivation, where everyone schemes against everyone else and danger lurks at every turn, the Imperial Defense Mirror is truly an indispensable treasure for planning ahead and gaining the upper hand. While others fight tooth and nail over a mere possibility, Liu Yu only has to glance at the mirror in his sea of consciousness to know the truth. With this mirror, Liu Yu just wants to claim every benefit he can, deal with every trouble that comes looking for him, and steer clear of every calamity he can't handle.
