Immortal Cultivation: Don't Rush, I'll Play It Safe First

In the ancient war where gods and demons burned the heavens, the world shattered and the immortal path was severed at its root. Today's cultivators practice a broken heavenly dao and scavenge the remnants of gods and demons—the entire cultivation world is a junk market, and whoever finds the good stuff rises to the top. Shi An, a poor kid from Hewan Village with four mixed spiritual roots—the most useless kind in the cultivation world. His family shoved him into a martial hall as a menial laborer to pay off medicine debts. He just wanted a meal, but then he discovered that Hu Yaoshi, the medicine keeper, specifically picks disciples with matching constitutions to possess and extend his own life. The previous menial worker's shoes are still tossed behind the medicine furnace—and in three days, it'll be Shi An's turn. Run? No travel permit. Fight? The man's at the third layer of Qi Refining. Report him? The hall master's back injury depends on Hu Yaoshi's treatment—he won't believe Shi An. All three paths are blocked. Shi An squats by the wall, does the math half the night, and decides on a fourth path—make Hu Yaoshi trip up on his own. From blowing up the medicine furnace to finishing the job in the chaos, from the martial hall brawl to slipping into an immortal sect by picking up scraps, Shi An plays it safe, calculates every move, and scavenges all the way. While others fight over the main hall, he raids the side chambers; while others chase empty fame, he hoards real goods. With the Heaven-Mending Broken Pot in hand, even a waste spiritual root can force out a path to survival. But the higher he climbs, the more he realizes something's off: the mortal realm is just a fragment left after the Heaven-Burning War, and Tongxuan is the ceiling. To live longer, he'll have to ascend to the Spirit Realm, restore the broken dao, and settle this mess that's been burning for hundreds of thousands of years—one account at a time. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Immortal Cultivation: Don't Rush, I'll Play It Safe First — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
