A Survival Guide to Urban Cultivation: My Group Chat Friends Are a Little Strange

Who says you have to retreat to the mountains to cultivate immortality? I broke through to the Qi Refining Realm by doing square dancing in a downtown park! After his boss's relentless workplace bullying threw his spiritual energy into chaos, overworked 996 drone Chen Fan accidentally unlocked an urban cultivation side quest with a simple line: “Add a spiritual egg to the jianbing, and it'll strengthen your foundation!” The breakfast-stall owner turned out to be a reclusive Daoist. A retired big shot had adapted the Taiji Bagua into a square-dance cultivation method. Even delivery drivers rode electric scooters modified into flying swords to deliver “urgent cultivation orders”! He'd planned to turn his life around at work with seeds of spirit-nourishing grass, only to discover that the seeds were actually ancient Daoist fruits. Every time he used the resentment from overtime and cutthroat workplace competition to nourish them, he risked drawing the attention of Shadow Fiend evil cultivators who fed on the vitality of spiritual plants! With the whole city on lockdown and his rented apartment surrounded, he was saved at the critical moment when the square-dancing aunties' bizarre moves activated an ancient protective formation. A delivery rider swung his sword to cut down fiends, while a suited big shot sealed demons with talismans drawn using his coffee cup. This ragtag band of fellow cultivators teamed up online to fight monsters! And the best part? Every inch the spirit grass grew revealed another shocking secret about the urban cultivation world. The lights left on late in office towers concealed spirit-gathering formations. Subway security gates were identity scanners for cultivators. And could Chen Fan's overworked office-drone physique be the key to unlocking the grass's ultimate power? An office drone's comeback meets hilarious cultivation: the more you grind, the stronger you get; the crazier it gets, the more addictive it becomes. Who understands the joy of surviving a tribulation in the CBD and cultivating by slacking off!
