After Joining a Run-Down Immortal Sect, I Stopped Playing by the Rules

[Strong female lead + serious cultivation + mortal’s path to immortality + villain protagonist] Lin Xi was an ordinary farm girl. When she was forced to marry an idiot at thirteen, she fled overnight with her younger brother to seek help from an old Daoist who had once saved her. Who could have guessed that the old Daoist was an immortal cultivator? He forcibly took her in as his disciple. Although she had to scavenge for all her cultivation techniques, she obtained the legendary Dustfall Tower, the mightiest treasure of all, and a special cultivation physique that surpassed every prodigy. From then on, she soared to greatness.

The cultivation world defies heaven and thrives on the survival of the fittest. Even the slightest kindness can cost you your life. The Great Dao is merciless, so you can only be more evil than the evil ones.

Villain One: “You’re nothing but a worthless waste with a trash spiritual root. I’m letting you be my cauldron, and you should be grateful…” What the hell, you can drain my cultivation? Help!

Villain Two: “Hand over your treasure, and I promise to protect you until you escape danger…” Fellow Daoist, spare me! These are all my treasures. Please let me live!

Villain Three: “Hahaha! Bad luck for you, running into me. I’m going to rip out your nascent soul and refine it into a puppet demon!”

A month later, Lin Xi had a Nascent Soul-stage puppet demon at her side.

Lin Xi sneered. “Who’s next?”

The head of the Ragged Immortal Sect: “That’s my disciple! You’ve truly inherited my teachings. I couldn’t be prouder. From now on, the two of us will make the Ragged Immortal Sect flourish!”

Lin Xi: “Huh? There are only the two of us in the Ragged Immortal Sect? What happened to the great sect you promised me?”

The head of the Ragged Immortal Sect: “Of course it’s a great sect, it’s just fallen on hard times. Even a starving camel is bigger than a horse. Our ruins cover more land than every other sect combined.”
