A Wage Slave in the Cultivation World? I'm a Dual-Cultivation Emperor

With no one to help me reach for the clouds, I will tread through snow and climb to the summit myself. An ordinary working stiff's road to a comeback in the cultivation world. [Mortal's journey, no System, multiple female leads, no brainless decisions, slow growth]

What do I seek through diligent cultivation?

Saving the sect is not what I want, nor is rooting out evil.

But elixirs and miraculous medicines are what I want, and so are cultivation manuals.

Immortality is what I want, and so are spirit stones and beautiful women.
