Help! Is Cultivation Really This Realistic?

[Ensemble Cast + No Female Lead, but Female Characters + Slow-Paced Absurd Everyday Life + Contrasting Protagonist + Materialist Cultivation + Everyone's a Schemer]

[Fair warning: there isn't a single good person in this book]

In 2024, spiritual qi revival began in Jiangcheng, where I lived.

Because I got arrested.

Instead of being punished, I was handed over to the state and made principal of a technical school for cultivators.

It took me years to realize that getting a government post was way better than cultivating on my own.

Heavenly treasures? The school grows them all over the place.

Cultivation prodigies? Give them enough resources, and you can produce them by the dozen.

All that talk about controlling your own fate is just what people say because they're poor.

Cultivation isn't about fighting and killing. It's all about relationships and knowing how to handle people.

This may be the most realistic urban cultivation novel you've ever read.

(Not a mindless wish-fulfillment story, but feel free to turn your brain off and have a laugh. No System, no inexplicable lucky breaks, everyone is intelligent, and the plot makes sense. Enjoy!)
