Rising Through the Ranks on Books in a Cultivation World

In the vast, boundless world of immortal cultivation, strength is supreme, and the strong prey on the weak. Countless cultivators fight tooth and nail for resources and a chance to break through, while he, with his mediocre aptitude, starts at the very bottom of this brutal struggle, enduring scorn and humiliation.?

By a stroke of luck, he comes into possession of a mysterious ancient book. It looks ordinary, but hides a shocking secret: an unprecedented cultivation manual. The techniques recorded within are unlike the usual methods of immortal cultivation. Not only can they rapidly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they can also turn the rotten into the miraculous.?

With this manual, he begins his journey to the top. Starting as an unknown low-ranking disciple of a minor sect, he cleverly applies its techniques as he cultivates, distinguishing himself in the competition and gaining a wealth of rare spiritual plants. His spiritual power soars, and during an expedition into a secret realm, he relies on the manual's unique methods of fending off enemies to defeat numerous cultivators far stronger than himself and claim their treasures.
