I Lay Low in the Cultivation World, Build Factories, Then Use Capital to Conquer All Sides

[Cautious cultivation + no female lead + behind-the-scenes mastermind + farming + lighthearted humor + no System]

His friend was electrofishing when the protagonist got dragged into the mess, and his soul left his body and transmigrated straight to the cultivation world.

To his surprise, things were hellish from the start, and there wasn’t even a System.

Luckily, he had a mirror that could make “money.” The resources he earned by buying low and selling high through the mirror were more than he could ever use.

“What? You have top-tier talent? Sorry, I have ‘money.’”

As he grew, he used modern economics to build factories and accumulate capital, then used financial tactics to harvest resources from powerful cultivation families and sects. He was basically the reincarnation of Eagleland.

With a wealth of resources at his disposal, he built an army and established a modern empire to dominate the lower realm.

“Soldiers, follow me to storm the immortal realm! We’ll build a free and democratic nation…”

But before that, he still needed to lie low, develop carefully, and act with caution. Otherwise, if he died, there’d be no one to bury him.

In the early stages, he keeps such a low profile it’s almost absurd. In the middle and later stages, he commands the whole board from the rear while his clones lead the army in slaughtering their foes.

In short: Keep lying low when you need to.
