Name: Why Is the Cultivation World So Cutthroat Too?
Author: Ling Sen

Synopsis

Mu Shengyao transmigrates into the world of cultivation and discovers that the competition is brutal. Cultivation is a top career track, on par with passing the civil service exams, and becoming an immortal is the iron rice bowl everyone envies.

Fortunately, she was born lucky, and her talent is even more outrageous. While a single spiritual root is enough to make others geniuses, she cultivates in talismans, alchemy, and spirit beasts, and outright breaks the spirit-testing stele.

At ten, she takes the “unified entrance exam,” overcoming challenge after challenge and picking up a few teammates along the way: Su Yan, a rich kid who clears the way with spirit stones; Jiang Weiyu, a proud young lady who works herself to the bone but can’t stand her; and Jiang Xubai, the top rebel of the Wuji Sword Sect, who follows her around with a perpetually cold expression.

She thinks she’ll be able to focus on cultivation once she gets into the top-tier Tianyan Sect. But on her first trip down the mountain, her dreams are shattered. The mortal world is rife with demons, ghosts, and wrongful cases involving spirits and monsters.

Mu Shengyao slams her hand on the table. “We’ll take the case!”

The cultivation world’s first “Six Realms Harmony Office” opens for business. The gentle senior sister handles interrogations, her master provides logistical support, and Jiang Xubai levels his sword and says, “Bodyguard. For free.”

From then on, the office that strikes fear into demons and monsters and earns even the royal family’s deference is run by a sweet-faced girl with a sharp tongue and cutting remarks. Behind her stands a crew of officially employed teammates with their own bizarre styles.

Their motto is simple: right the wronged, solve every case. But if you break the law...

The cultivation world’s first violent law-enforcement squad is always ready to come calling and “serve” you.

Ensemble Cultivation Novels! No Catfighting! Give Me Passion and Hard Work!

I really want a story with a grand perspective, character growth, and passion, like the kind you often get in mech novels. Every sect should have its own appeal, and instead of always having people trip up the protagonist over romance, I want antagonists whose opposition comes from their differing convictions.
