This is an age when cultivation has been completely monopolized by capital.
Spiritual energy has become a commodity with a price tag, and cultivation realms are numbers on financial statements.
Techniques, pills, magical treasures: every resource for cultivation is priced to the last detail, building a golden chasm that ordinary people can never cross.
Chen Yuan, a former financial data analyst, is now a low-level evaluator at a major cultivation company, unable to afford even the first step of drawing qi into his body.
He knows every rule of the capitalist world, yet cannot afford a ticket to the extraordinary.
Then an accident opens his eyes to the “value for money” of everything.
And he sees
A crippled cultivation technique the market has written off as worthless has a 100% compatibility with his physique.
A discarded scrap of iron, ignored by everyone, is a rare formation base capable of harnessing spiritual energy.
Among the “trash” projects piled in the corners of the database lie treasures that have been priced incorrectly.
While the heirs of great families burn through vast quantities of spiritual resources to break through their bottlenecks,
Chen Yuan uses a Meridian-Refining Talisman costing 1,150 spirit coins to open a hidden meridian, one in ten thousand.
While monopolistic conglomerates manipulate the market and fleece the masses,
he quietly gathers these undervalued “fragments,” piecing together his own road to ascension.
This is not a story about a poor man turning his life around through luck.
It’s the story of someone who knows the rules, using colder calculations and more precise plunder to flip the table in a cultivation world built by capital.
He chisels his way toward the light through a crack,
then tears that crack open into a road reaching heaven.
