From the “immortal school entrance exam” that drives his family into hardship just to afford the ten-spirit-stone registration fee, to the “working life” of refining pills and drawing talismans day and night in a sect; from the struggle to budget spirit stones with his cultivation partner to the anxiety of competing for quality educational opportunities for his child; from the despair of stalled cultivation to the sorrow of watching old friends pass away one by one...
The path to immortality is not all poetry and distant horizons. More often, it means struggling to get by in the here and now.
