A Ridiculous Guide to Cultivation

Modern office drone Zhai Ang unexpectedly transmigrates into the cultivation world as a good-for-nothing with no spiritual roots. To avoid being kicked out of his sect, he relies on his sharp tongue and unconventional ideas, following the “Unhinged Cultivation Handbook” he found to forge a decidedly unorthodox path to immortality.

A villain, driven by jealousy, tries to hinder his progress. With useless spiritual roots, little strength, and time running out, Zhai Ang must break through one cultivation realm after another before the sect’s next assessment.

At the same time, he struggles to choose between sticking to his goofy style and following the solemn, traditional path of cultivation.

His strange behavior leads other cultivators to misunderstand him, and he’s constantly butting heads with his senior disciple-brother.

But with his gift for goofing around, he diffuses internal conflicts with jokes, drives off challengers, unlocks “Goofball Techniques,” and steadily grows stronger.

After enduring all the bitterness of being misunderstood, he eventually reaches the Tribulation Transcendence stage and becomes an “improper” Immortal Venerable.
