Hey, Young Man, Want to Cultivate? Beginner Lessons Cost 8,800

My name is Lu Ziye, and I’m an investigative journalist who firmly believes that “every piece of supernatural news needs a receipt.” When I smashed open the gate to another world with a brick, I discovered that the cultivation world’s HR sorted people by talent: fellow cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, prodigies with sacred physiques, and me, a menial laborer specializing in the Tiny Flame spell, earning three spirit stones a month. Now they tell me that “scientific thinking” like mine is an ancient forbidden art. The Saintess wants me to analyze her cultivation techniques, and the Demon Lord is forcing me to optimize his KPIs. But I only want to ask: great cultivators, can I get a receipt for those world-destroying spells of yours?
