A Bamboo Stick from the Start, and You Expect Me to Cultivate Immortality?

This book has no female lead, isn't a wish-fulfillment power fantasy, and is highly toxic. The first twenty chapters are pure garbage written by the author with their brain switched off. I recommend skipping straight to chapter twenty-one. Qi Luo: “I'm just a simple little beggar.” Song Xing: “A gentleman knows what to do, and what not to do.” We exchanged smiles. What polite, good people we are. Meanwhile, Yue Youqian was muttering away as he did the math. A certain unnamed villain, tied up nearby, roared, “Oh, go screw yourselves with that ‘good people’ crap! One lunatic, one scheming bastard, and one brainless swindler. If the heavens have any eyes, they'll strike you lot dead sooner or later!”
