It's the Modern Age, So Why Do We Still Have to Cultivate Immortality?

A Modern Guide to Cultivation

As an unemployed young man, Gu Ningyu decides to return to his hometown. The city is full of tricks, so Gu is heading back to the countryside.

Luckily, his beloved grandfather is still there, so Gu Ningyu won’t have to become an orphan with no job.

After getting off the plane, he takes a train; after getting off the train, a coach; after getting off the coach, a three-wheeled motor cart. At last, Gu Li arrives at the familiar village entrance.

His grandfather is waiting for him there.

Gu Ningyu’s grandfather is a little old man with graying hair, famous throughout the surrounding villages as a charlatan fortune-teller.

“Grandpa, I’m back!” Whenever Gu Ningyu inexplicably failed a job interview, inexplicably couldn’t submit his resume, or got bumped from a postgraduate spot by someone who parachuted in, he would miss his grandfather terribly. Yes, Gu Li is a medical student with a hard-luck story, the kind who almost got into grad school.

“Xiaoyu, I know all about what you’ve been through. Don’t lose heart. It’s all fate,” his grandfather says, patting Gu Ningyu on the head.

Gu Ningyu doesn’t feel comforted at all. If anything, it feels like his grandfather has twisted the knife.

Gu Ningyu takes his few belongings and heads home with his grandfather. The house is still quite clean.

Wait, how can Grandpa fly?!

Wait, how can Grandpa make pills?!

Wait, why do I have a husband?!

Yes, this is proper cultivation.
