I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

```

Ding!

A new message received.

Li Sheng unlocked his phone to check the content of the message.

"Do you want to change your life? Do you want to live a carefree life... alive? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Click the link below to enter a new world, register now and get a ten yuan bonus!

Earn money by getting the referral code and sharing it!"

At the end of the message was an animated GIF of a cool beauty swinging her hips and jiggling her breasts while beckoning with a finger, with glittering text beside her: Sexy senior sister, online for dual cultivation!

"Another ad from that game company, how much did they spend on this? Why is it everywhere?"

Li Sheng was just an ordinary guy, ordinary grades, schools, jobs from childhood to adulthood, repeating the cycle of going to work and getting off work every day, paying off loans with each month’s salary, year after year with no change.

And probably there would be no change until he took his last breath in a hospital bed.

The world is not short of people who can break the rigid class structure; however, for ninety-nine percent of ordinary people, life is a straight path seen all the way to death.

These past few days, whether Li Sheng opened any app, there would be pop-up ads for cultivation games coming at him in the most unexpected forms, like the drama series he was binge-watching yesterday.

In the series, when there was a tense crime-solving scene, suddenly the protagonist pulled out a phone, opened a webpage, and started explaining how to cultivate...

"How much money did they stuff into such a blunt ad?"

Just as Li Sheng was about to turn off his phone, Xiao Zhang from the next cubicle poked his head over to ask.

"Bro Sheng, have you registered? Input my invite code, and we’ll split the earnings fifty-fifty."

"This actually pays out?"

Li Sheng looked surprised; he had been through various scams, like when a certain app shared a link for boosting, which froze at 99.99 no matter how much you clicked, because there were seven digits after the decimal point.

"Registered and credited in seconds!"

Xiao Zhang said proudly, "I registered early and have already invited and earned over a thousand yuan. It’s said that there are specialized teams going to rural areas to share it, with the highest earnings reaching millions."

"Ah, missed another chance to get rich!"

Li Sheng sighed repeatedly; the world is never short of opportunities to make money, it’s just that he was always the last to know.

While talking, he opened the link, named himself a disciple of the outer sect of Yi Qi Sect, followed the registration process, verified his identity, and entered Xiao Zhang’s invitation code, ending up with a total of fifteen yuan.

"There’s the money for tonight’s dinner."

Li Sheng always had a very favorable impression of anyone who gave him money, so he decided to download and try out the game, even if it was abysmal.

"Huh? It’s not a game, it’s actually a cultivation technique?"

The downloaded document was titled "Tai Xuan Jing Qi Refinement Chapter," with only the first three layers, and the text was quite a mouthful to read.

"The Tai Xuan governs the nurturing of all things; they are endowed with the Five Elements for usage. The Five Elements each have their strengths over one another, and all things have their times of prosperity and decline..."

Li Sheng, with gratitude to his benefactor, recited every word and every sentence. When he came across sentences he did not understand, he opened the outer sect’s official website to search, and there would be detailed annotations immediately available.

The text of the first layer of Qi Refinement was only a few hundred words; after reciting it back and forth a few times, he felt inexplicably smooth.

Without thinking, he followed the scripture’s instruction to sense the Five Elements’ energies between heaven and earth, and he actually discovered colorful, mysterious specks of light.

"What is this? Spiritual Energy!"

Li Sheng’s first reaction wasn’t excitement but fear, the dread of the unknown and chaos.

Even if he regularly complained about his wretched life and occasionally bragged that if turbulent times arrived, he would rise up and become a bandit king... when true upheaval happened, his heart was filled with fear!

After a lengthy daze, Li Sheng drew the spiritual energy into his body and began to refine and circulate it according to the Tai Xuan Jing.

Inside his Dantian, a wisp of crimson fire-like mana appeared!

"Bro Sheng, Bro Sheng, the manager is calling for you," Xiao Zhang’s voice calling out snapped Li Sheng out of his cultivation.

Li Sheng slowly opened his eyes to find his manager’s greasy, corpulent face within a foot’s distance, staring at him viciously.

"Sleeping during work hours, today’s wages are gone!"

"You..."

Li Sheng really wanted to channel his mana and explode his supervisor’s pig head with a single punch, but thinking of his parents back home, his wife and daughter at home, he reluctantly bowed his head and apologized.

"Understood."

It was another ordinary, busy day.

Li Sheng declined Xiao Zhang’s invitation, resolutely took a taxi home, greeted his wife who was cooking, and entered the study to open the official website of Yi Qi Sect.

Homepage, cultivation information, download area, disciples’ forum...

He clicked each button in turn, basically got a clear understanding of the functions of the official website, and finally clicked on cultivation information.

The information contained the basic knowledge of cultivation and martial arts, such as Spirit Root, physique, Inner Qi, mana, etc. Li Sheng clicked on the Spirit Root information.

"Heavenly Spiritual Root, Exotic Spirit Root, Twin Spirit Root..."

"Identifying a Spirit Root requires special magic artifacts or detection by seniors’ mana, or making a rough judgment according to the speed of cultivation. The first time you are exposed to the Great Mystery Scripture, if you cultivate mana within an hour, at least it means you have an Exotic Spirit Root or a Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

Li Sheng clenched his fists involuntarily when he read this, as he had managed to cultivate mana in just half an hour.

He then looked at other cultivation materials and gained a basic understanding of cultivation. His fear was gradually replaced by excitement, especially considering the official website’s description of top-notch Spirit Roots being one in a million!

"With my aptitude, making money should at least not be a problem."

Li Sheng opened the disciples’ forum and found that there were already tens of thousands of posts, all about questions on the Dao of immortals and martial arts.

Occasionally, he would see people calling out scams, fakes, or insanity, but those comments would disappear in no time, obviously managed by someone.

He clicked on each post, carefully examining the questions and answers, which might come in handy in future cultivation.

"This is probably what they call discussing the Dao remotely?"

Li Sheng clicked his tongue, "If I didn’t have a Spirit Root, maybe I would think like them, that everyone in the forum is crazy."

At this moment.

His wife pushed the door open and saw Li Sheng staring at his phone with a foolish smile, urging him, "Le Le is home from school, it’s time for dinner."

Li Sheng checked the time and realized he had been browsing the forum for an hour. He stood up and embraced his wife, saying,

"We’re going to be a couple for a thousand years."

"Death wish!"

His wife, her face slightly red, pushed Li Sheng away, "Le Le is watching."

"Haha!"

Li Sheng felt uplifted, and while eating, he noticed that he was still not full after devouring five bowls in a row.

Several days later.

Li Sheng submitted his resignation, sold his house in the city, and took his wife and daughter back to his old home in the mountain village.

He did not hide the matter of cultivation from his parents, wife, and daughter. Although Li Sheng had weak mana, he could still lift water out of thin air. Unfortunately, his wife and daughter did not have Spirit Roots, so they could only start practicing martial arts first.

The Spiritual Energy was slightly more abundant in the mountain village, and in just half a month, he reached the first layer of Qi Cultivation to completion.

Li Sheng, following the tutorials from the official website, gathered the ingredients for the Body Tempering Pill and bought a specially specified pressure cooker to refine it. After several failed attempts, he finally produced the pills, which were black and emitted a faint fragrance.

With the aid of the pills, his parents, wife, and daughter progressed rapidly in martial arts.

He also sold a few pills through the forum, earning the equivalent of decades’ wages in just half a year, and he only dared to sell small amounts to fellow disciples he knew well.

"The sect’s official website repeatedly warns that the path of immortality is extremely difficult, and that betrayals by fellow humans are more dangerous than heavenly tribulations!"

Li Sheng gained freedom through cultivation and had fully identified with Yi Qi Sect. His life goal shifted from making money to becoming a recorded disciple after reaching the third layer of Qi Cultivation.

"I must refine a magic artifact to protect myself!"

No sooner said than done, after all, personal safety was of utmost importance.

Li Sheng bought a large amount of steel ore and, following the sect’s basic Artifact Refining techniques, obtained a fist-sized piece of hundred-refined steel.

"This little amount? I can’t forge a flying sword, I might as well make a flying needle for now!"

Although flying needles were not as impressive as flying swords, in low-level cultivators’ battles, they usually ended in just two or three exchanges. The subtle and swift flying needle had an obviously stronger lethality!
