The Immortal Sect Owes Me Three Thousand Lives

The immortal sect borrows lifespan from mortals—one year borrowed cancels a debt for medicine. Xie Chi, a nineteen-year-old medicine boy, has spent three years copying lifespan contracts for the Qiheng Sect, and has grown used to seeing the names written into the ledgers. Until one day, a sick woman is forced to trade a year of her lifespan for medicine. Xie Chi refuses to stamp the seal, but discovers that the life scale has not yet been activated, yet the account already reads "lifespan received." One contract, two accounts. Someone is still alive, yet their lifespan has already been counted as income. To save the patient, and to keep his younger sister—who suffers from a meridian-splitting disease—alive, Xie Chi begins to investigate the longevity ledger that should never have contained errors. But he soon discovers that behind the sect's elixirs, the cultivators' breakthroughs, and the immortals' longevity, there lies a debt that has never been settled. He is merely a lowly medicine boy, with no heaven-defying treasures, nor the power to alter fate. But he remembers those names. Debts of life must be repaid by someone. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Immortal Sect Owes Me Three Thousand Lives — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
