Das Kapital in Cultivation

Capitalist Lin Zhao died on the eve of his IPO, just one step away from the pinnacle of his business empire. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak. Here, rogue cultivators beg for half a spirit stone, and old monsters at the Foundation Establishment stage massacre entire villages for a low-grade spirit vein. But Lin Zhao looked at this barbaric, backward, chaotic market full of 'high-quality assets' waiting to be developed, and slowly smiled. While sect disciples sat in meditation in caves, Lin Zhao launched the groundbreaking 'Spirit Stone Loan'—'Use tomorrow's spirit stones to cultivate today, with a monthly interest of only 3%!' While sect elders fought tooth and nail over a single artifact, he presented a 'Stock Option Incentive Plan'—'Elders, this year the sect's revenue tripled. At year-end, dividends in high-grade spirit stones. You get options, I get control.' When righteous leaders condemned him for disrupting the cultivation order, he quietly started a 'Nascent Soul Stage Labor Outsourcing' business. Years later, the largest sect in the immortal world was called 'Lin Group Co., Ltd.' His former enemies knelt at the IPO roadshow, holding signs that said 'I want to subscribe,' tears streaming down their faces. And Lin Zhao just stood on the clouds, flipping through financial statements, and said softly, 'Fellow cultivators, for the next round of financing, we aim to list on the 'Great Golden Immortal' board.'
