The Path to Daohood: A Mortal Woman Treads the Heavens

Mei Ning was once an unremarkable apprentice at a small herbal shop in Qingyang City. After accidentally getting caught up in a fight between cultivators and swallowing the “Nine-Leaf Reversal Lotus,” she embarked on the path of cultivation. She doesn’t have Han Li’s Heaven Palming Bottle, but she does have a ridiculous knack for always running into trouble when she wants to avoid it, and for ending up in the spotlight whenever she tries to keep a low profile. Other people risk life and limb to find opportunities in secret realms. Mei Ning goes in thinking, “Hey, this rock looks nice. I’ll pocket it,” or “This spirit beast is so ugly nobody wants it? I’ll take it,” or “Those people are making too much noise fighting. I’ll sort them out while I’m at it.” Somehow, luck is always on her side. Her spirit pets could form a “circus of monsters and demons,” and she has so many magical treasures that she needs to set aside a special storage space just to pile them up. She’s ruthless when it comes to killing, but at crucial moments, her spirit pets’ antics or some sudden absurd mishap always turns a tense situation into a farce. From a mortal to Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul… all the way to the Heaven-Venerable realm, where she can shake heaven and earth, Mei Ning’s cultivation journey is a comical tale of how “while everyone else works themselves to the bone, I coast to victory on luck and brute force, with a bunch of unreliable spirit pets to boot.”
