Shangguan Ling was terminally ill and, unable to bear the torment of her disease, chose to throw herself into the river. Instead, she unexpectedly transmigrated to a world of cultivation, where five-element spirit roots were considered the lowest-grade mixed roots.
With no System to rely on, Shangguan Ling used her sharp eyes to collect demon cores, treasures, and spirit beasts.
In a world where might makes right, standing out invites trouble, so Shangguan Ling chose to quietly build up her strength. Time and again, she used her own wits to overcome danger and thrive in the world of cultivation.
