Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 166 The Changes in the Moonlight Bracelet
Fairy Qingchen raised her finger and pointed, and Gu Shihan saw the ethereal Moon Bracelet emitting a soft light, like the bright moon in the night sky.

Standing to the side, Xingbai stared with its round eyes, a deep admiration in them, quietly observing Fairy Qingchen. Its fluffy tail swayed gently, as if expressing its inner excitement.

Fairy Qingchen noticed Xingbai's actions and couldn't help but smile, praising, "Little fox, you are indeed clever and adorable. Little fox, you have good taste!"

The woman turned her gaze back to Gu Shihan, her expression becoming slightly solemn, and slowly said, "Shihan, do you know that this Moonbeam Bracelet also has an extraordinary origin? It has a connection with you, but it also hides many unknown secrets. And your arrival here this time must also be due to the pull of fate."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan's doubts deepened, and she quickly asked, "Fairy, please explain it to me in detail." She looked at Fairy Qingchen with a pleading expression, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Fairy Qingchen gazed at the distant palace and slowly spoke: "There is something in that palace that is closely related to your background. You can go and explore it yourself. However, it depends on your own fate and luck. When you will know the truth depends on your own destiny and opportunity."

My divine consciousness is about to dissipate, but I am deeply gratified to have waited for you before it fades away and to see the Moonbracelet improving. Cultivate diligently; your path is still long.

The woman's voice drifted over, as if from a distant horizon, gradually becoming ethereal and indistinct.

Her figure gradually blurred, eventually dissipating like smoke, turning into countless specks of light that drifted into space until they disappeared completely.

"Fairy! Master, Gu Shihan has remembered your teachings!" Gu Shihan bowed deeply in the direction where the woman had disappeared, her face full of piety.

Gu Shihan gently picked up Xingbai, who seemed somewhat reluctant to part with her, and walked steadily toward the magnificent palace ahead.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, Gu Shihan stretched out her hands, attempting to push open the tightly closed gate.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the door, he suddenly felt an invisible force blocking his movement, making it impossible for her to push it open even an inch no matter how hard she tried.

Gu Shihan frowned and murmured, "Am I not qualified to enter this palace yet?"

Xingbai, still looking listless, raised its head, glanced lazily at the gate, and said weakly to Gu Shihan, "Hanhan, don't rush in. This palace is filled with extremely pure immortal energy. If the spiritual power within your body hasn't been converted into immortal energy, you might get hurt if you rashly enter. So, wait until you've completed the conversion before going in."

Hearing Xingbai's words, Gu Shihan nodded in understanding after a moment's thought, and replied, "I see. In that case, I won't go in for now." After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Xingbai seemed to remember something important and quickly called out, "Hanhan, wait a minute, there's something else I need to tell you. There are many rare and precious spiritual flowers and herbs growing within a hundred feet around this palace. These are treasures that can only be found in the Immortal Realm. Do you want to pick some and take them back? They might come in very handy in the future."

“No need. Since it’s something that only exists in the Immortal Realm, we can’t use it if we take it out.” Gu Shihan had barely finished speaking when she realized something and hurriedly asked, “Xingbai, what do you mean by that? Does it mean I can’t enter this place anymore?”

Xingbai said lazily, "Hanhan, yes, you were able to get in this time thanks to the Five-Star Stone. You've been touched by its aura. Once you leave this place, the aura you emit will completely dissipate. If you want to enter again, you can only do so when you possess immortal spiritual energy within your body." Gu Shihan nodded slightly in understanding upon hearing this, and then began to carefully observe her surroundings.

She slowly walked to a pool surrounded by ethereal mist and stopped. Then she took out a Qiankun Jade Bottle from her bosom, pointed the bottle mouth at the pool water, and a stream of clear spring water quickly flowed into the bottle. In no time, the entire bottle was filled.

After filling the spring with water, Gu Shihan turned to leave. However, Xingbai spoke again: "Hanhan, there are so many precious spiritual flowers and herbs here. These are rare alchemy materials even in the Immortal Realm. Are you just going to ignore them and waste them?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Xingbai, I don't need it now, and besides, how am I supposed to manage it?"

Xingbai looked disapproving. "Hanhan, wasting things is shameful. We don't need them now, but we'll need them in many places in the Immortal Realm."

These herbs won't grow again if they're not picked when they're ripe, and the same goes for those magical fruits. Don't you have puppets? Why not leave one here to manage them?

After all, there are countless spiritual herbs, medicines, and fruits here. Wouldn't it be such a waste if no one took care of them?

After a moment's thought, Gu Shihan shook her head and replied, "Xingbai, I'm afraid that's not feasible, because I don't have enough immortal spirit stones to activate the puppet!"

"You don't have one? The Moon Bracelet does!" As soon as the words were spoken, Xingbai raised its small and exquisite paw and gently waved and scratched.

In an instant, a flawless white jade box appeared out of thin air in front of Gu Shihan.

Upon seeing this, Gu Shihan quickly stepped forward and opened the jade box. Looking closely, she saw that the box contained a total of five thousand crystal-clear immortal spirit stones neatly arranged inside.

Looking at these immortal stones, Gu Shihan was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling with excitement and gratitude. She exclaimed, "Xingbai, you are simply my lucky star!"

She took out a spirit stone and placed it into the puppet's body. After a simple setup, the puppet began to manage this spiritual land in an orderly manner.

After doing all this, Gu Shihan left the place with the Qiankun Jade Bottle containing immortal spiritual energy.

As soon as Gu Shihan stepped out of that area, she felt an invisible force pushing her away. After she had completely left, she looked back and saw that the area was now shrouded in a halo of light, making it impossible to enter again.

Gu Shihan gripped the jade bottle tightly in her hand, thinking that she must improve her spiritual power as soon as possible and transform it into immortal spiritual energy.
