Hidden Blade: The Path to Immortality Through Patience

I, Su Yan, am a mortal-boned cultivator from a humble background, with no extraordinary talent, no powerful backing, and no sect support. Upon entering Qingyun Sect, I knew the treacherous nature of the cultivation world, so I adopted a lifelong principle: hide my edge, endure in obscurity, seek steady progress, and never show off. While others vie for fame, seize opportunities, and fight over strength, I hoard resources, solidify my foundation, conceal my trump cards, and stabilize my cultivation. My fellow disciples mock me as mediocre and cowardly, seeing me as the most insignificant waste in the outer sect. But no one knows that while everyone else is busy competing and making enemies, I have already surpassed my peers in foundation, holding countless hidden cards, waiting for the storm to come. When faced with trouble, I avoid the sharp edge; when schemed against, I turn the tables with backup plans; when trapped in dire straits, I endure and break through. I do not compete for temporary gains, only cultivate for eternal longevity. When I finally reach the pinnacle of immortality and command all paths, the world will realize that mortal bones hide a blade, and patience proves the immortal king!
