From Qi Refining to Archmage: I Grind Monsters and Cheat in Another World

[System + power progression + dungeons + nontraditional cultivation]

A good-for-nothing Qi Refining cultivator transmigrates to a world of magic and uses cultivation techniques to outdo every mage on his way to becoming the God of Magic!

Homebody Lin Zhou accidentally transmigrates to the cultivation world, where he gets saddled with a useless Five-Element Spiritual Root physique and an “Auxiliary Cultivation System” that refuses to activate. After ten years of bitter practice, he finally learns to fly on a sword, only to crash headfirst into a bird. When he opens his eyes again, he has somehow transmigrated to a world of magic!

There is no spiritual energy here, only mana; no flying swords or magical artifacts, only wands and spellbooks. Just as Lin Zhou thinks he will have to switch careers and become a mage, that ridiculous cultivation System suddenly activates!

System: Ding! Host detected. Auxiliary Cultivation System No. 666 is at your service!

Lin Zhou: ??? Come on, there isn't even any spiritual energy here. How am I supposed to cultivate?
