How Can You Cultivate Without Money?

In the Kunxu Realm, made up of 36 levels above ground and 18 below, cultivation is no longer an individual pursuit. It’s a capitalist game that requires massive investments of “spirit stones,” the local currency. Building up your body requires “medicine fees,” boosting your magic power means “renting a spiritual root,” and learning spells requires hiring a “private tutor.” The entire cultivation system is monopolized by powerful factions like the Heavenly Court. The protagonist, Lin Que, is a wage slave struggling to survive in the underground city when he awakens a mysterious System called the Black Feather Book. It is powered by an AI supervisor named Juan Ling, who forces him into high-intensity cultivation. But Lin Que rejects the traditional path to immortality. Using modern financial thinking, he develops “shared cultivation rooms” and launches services like “installment plans for heavenly tribulations,” challenging the immortal sects’ monopoly. In the end, he exposes the shocking truth: the Heavenly Court is actually a “spiritual energy bank.”
