"September 17, the twenty-third year of Tianxing:

"Today is the exact 100th day since I traveled to the Daqi Dynasty, and there are about 4,525 days left before the end of my lifespan.

"I, Gu Xu, am a serious person, so logically I shouldn't keep a diary.

"But my time is too tight.

“I hope that through this diary, I can conduct self-reflection at the end of each day to avoid procrastination and delay the progress of my practice.

“In this way, when I look back on the past, I won’t feel regret for wasting my years, nor will I feel ashamed for doing nothing.

"Last night, I used up all the remaining Jingxin Pills.

"I completed four missions in a row today, but I only saved 290 merit points, which is not enough to exchange for new elixirs.

"So I didn't practice all day.

"I'm guilty."

"September 18th, the twenty-third year of Tianxing:

"Today is the 4,524-day countdown to death. I finally accumulated enough merit again and exchanged it for a bottle of Jingxin Pill.

"Shi Xiaohan saw that I was working non-stop every day and it was too hard, so he brought fifteen bottles of Jingxin Pill to me.

"But I refused.

"This gift is too precious.

"Although I, Gu Xu, am poor, I am a dignified person after all. I can never accept charity from girls easily.

"In addition, because the Painted Skin Ghost's immobilization spell left a deep psychological shadow on me, I am very worried that in future tasks, due to a moment of negligence, I will be controlled by the evil ghost's mind and will be unable to escape.

"So I carved thirty 'Decontamination Talismans' into my sea of ​​consciousness."

"September 19, the twenty-third year of Tianxing:

"Damn it! I was so obsessed with practicing this morning that I accidentally used up the Meditation Pill again.

"But my current merit balance is far from enough to exchange for new elixirs.

"So...I could only bend my waist for five buckets of rice and was forced to accept Shi Xiaohan's kindness.

"Alas, in life, there are always too many things you cannot control.

"No matter what, I have written down this favor in my notebook. I will definitely find a way to repay it in the future."

"Twenty-seventh month of the twenty-third year of Tianxing:

"Practice."

“September 21st:

"Practice."

"September 22:

"Practice."

"September twenty-three:

"I've worked so hard. Let's reward myself with a day off tomorrow! Mr. Chen said that when things go to extremes, they must be reversed. When doing things, you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't exhaust yourself."

"September twenty-four:

"Practice."

"September twenty-fifth:

"Practice.

"I accidentally had another epiphany today, which caused the real energy in my body to surge, and I almost broke through.

"Fortunately, I restrained myself in the end.

"I just lingered on the edge of the second realm and didn't enter.

"Master Chen said that a solid foundation can help people go further on the road of spiritual practice.

"My true energy is not pure enough, there are still cold impurities left, and it needs to continue to be tempered and polished.

"Because my goal is the seventh realm, I don't want to leave hidden dangers that will cause my future practice to get stuck and stop moving forward."

"September twenty-sixth:

"Today Mr. Chen Jisheng gave us some popular science knowledge about ghosts.

"He said that in our Jiaodong province, there are three evil spirits of the "fierce god" level.

"One of them is the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon', which has nine heads, can spit water and fire, and can also make the cry of a baby.

"Eight years ago, it was this basilisk that wreaked havoc in Qingzhou Prefecture, eating the parents of its original owner and destroying the Yishui County School.

"Many powerful practitioners joined forces, but they were unable to subdue it.

"In the end, it was the Imperial Master of Da Qi who took action and sealed it underground with the magic of talismans, thus ending that terrible disaster.

"The National Preceptor is a seventh-level practitioner and a master of Fu Dao - his combat effectiveness ranks second in the Qi Dynasty, second only to the emperor.

"He is the goal of my life.

"The other evil spirit among the three evil spirits is called 'Yishan Snow Girl'. It is said that she is very beautiful and looks like a gentle, delicate, elegant and moving girl.

"But ghosts cannot be judged by their appearance. The 'Snow Girl' is no less terrifying than the Nine-Baby Snake Demon.

"Every June, she will cause large-scale snowstorms in Qingzhou Prefecture, taking this opportunity to hunt humans.

"Master Chen also said that if the 'Snow Girl' meets a man she likes, she will freeze him forever, turn him into a statue, and place him in the ice cave where he lives for viewing.

"It sounds really chilling!

"As a 'spiritual body', I'm panicking now. I hope I can survive past June next year.

"As for the third 'fierce god' level ghost... Mr. Chen said that he forgot its name and could only wait until he went back to check the information and explain it to us next time.

"Well, long-term lack of rest will indeed cause memory loss. It's really hard for Mr. Chen to work from dawn to dusk day after day. Maybe I can consider giving him a box of walnuts when his salary is paid next month."

"September twenty-seven:

"Practice."

"September twenty-eight:

“Eat, practice, and do tasks.

"The life of a practitioner in the Exorcist Department is like this, simple, boring and boring."

"September twenty-nine:

“I discovered that the divination and fortune-telling spells in this world are incredibly accurate.

"Every time I go out on a mission, I will use the six-line divination method of copper coins to predict good or bad luck. In the past three months, my divination results have never been wrong.

“This can only be described as outrageous!

"Today, I saw some introductions about astrology in a book. Out of curiosity, I planned to try it.

"The basic method of astrology is to determine a person's life palace based on his birth date and horoscope, and then calculate his status, personality, wealth, and fortune based on the ruler of the life palace.

"I... or the original owner of the body, was born in the year of Xinchou, month of Xinmao, day of Jiayin, and time of Renshen.

“This is a moment when the five elements are lacking fire.

“So when the original owner’s parents named the original owner, they deliberately chose a name with the attribute of ‘fire’.

“After some calculations, I deduced that the main star of my life palace is the ‘Tianji Star’.

“People who have the Tianji star in their destiny palace are often smart and diligent, have the ability to plan strategies, are good at observation, quick to respond, versatile, and excellent in eloquence. They like to seek innovation and change, and do not play cards according to common sense...

"This astrology seems to be really accurate!

"It's just that according to the book, Tianji star is the star of counselors - a person whose fate is determined by Tianji, is suitable to be an assistant minister, making suggestions for his lord and assisting him to achieve hegemony.

"Oh, how can a dignified time-traveler be subordinate to others and willing to be someone else's subordinate? You must know that among the group of time-travelers who defy the sky, the earth, and the air, there cannot be a 'great emperor' or 'immortal king'.

Titles like 'Martial Emperor' are shameless.

"This makes me very unhappy.

"So, I took the birth date of my previous life on earth and calculated it again.

"I'm very satisfied with the result this time - Ziweixing is sitting in the palace of fate. This is the sign of an emperor. He is destined to be the one who controls the wind and rain, and is either rich or noble.

"But at this time, the book also said that Ziwei's fate is too noble and ordinary people cannot bear it. People with this kind of fate are basically prone to illness and disaster, and die young...

"Go to hell with the feudal superstition! I want to believe in science!"

"September 30:

"Today, the county school Zhou Jiaoyu invited me to his home. He said that I have reached the age to talk about marriage, and he wanted to introduce me to a good marriage.

"I refused. Women will only affect the speed of my cultivation."
