Could It Be That Only Defying the City Can Unlock Cultivation?

Could it be that the spiritual energy of Earth has not dried up?

Could it be that people can still cultivate in modern cities?

Could the way to cultivate really be this simple?

Just as Xie Jin begins to seriously suspect that he has attained the Dao and starts cultivating, a colleague pours cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Look, immortals come and go, but all they really do is move fast. We drive, fly on planes, and take the subway. Isn't that pretty much the same? And don't get me started on those incredible powers. If they can do all that, why not go into space or explore Mars? Right? Let's talk about something more practical. What are you cultivating for? Don't you need to save for retirement? Don't you want to start a family? Even if you only care about yourself, don't you need to eat, drink, and use the bathroom?"

In the bustling, ordinary city, Xie Jin feels the power inside him and falls silent.

Actually, he'd already started getting around without transportation lately, and he no longer needed to eat.

As for going into space, or traveling to the moon or Mars, well... it might not be impossible.

This is a leisurely, slow-burn slice-of-life story about cultivating immortality and exploring the Great Way in a modern city.
