When Ning Le wakes up, he has not only transmigrated to the world of cultivation, but also become a disciple of the “World's Number One Demonic Sect,” the Blood Fiend Sect. He's saddled with an enormous “initiation loan” of three thousand high-grade spirit stones, at fifteen percent annual interest, with staggering late fees.
He thinks he's about to embark on the demonic cultivator's path of killing, treasure hunting, and settling scores. But the sect is already bankrupt. The protective formation has been disconnected, the Scripture Pavilion has been mortgaged, and even the spirit fields have been leased to mortals to grow potatoes.
To survive and pay off his debt, he has no choice but to lead a group of “demons” into enthusiastic new careers: street cleaning, wedding performances, sewer unclogging, and judging a cultivation-world singing competition... They even develop baffling products such as “Blood Fiend Pills” made with flour, “Shared Cave Abodes,” and “Cultivation Technique Installment Plans.”
As Ning Le works to cultivate and pays off his loans with wild schemes, poverty puts him through the wringer. Yet he unexpectedly awakens the “Nine Yin Severed Meridians” physique, learns to precisely control spiritual energy and improve his cultivation through bizarre assignments, and befriends a haughty orthodox musical cultivator, Lu Mingshuang, the top courtesan at the Hundred Blossoms Pavilion, Ruhua, and a host of other “broke buddies.” Together, they stage a series of jaw-dropping escapades: framing orthodox cultivators, playing music to pay off debts, and short-selling the Orthodox Alliance.
But behind the seemingly absurd daily life, conspiracies involving depleted spirit veins, the sect's secret treasures, and the backlash of Heaven's Dao gradually emerge... Can Ning Le uncover the truth behind the Blood Fiend Sect's bankruptcy and truly defy fate, all while cultivating on a 996 work schedule and hustling for money like crazy?
