In the Age of Declining Dharma, the cultivation world teeters on the brink of collapse, and every cultivator is fighting tooth and nail over even a trace of spiritual energy. And me, Lin Mo, might be the poorest cultivator alive: I owe one hundred thousand spirit stones!
While others fight over rare treasures in secret realms, I set up a night-market stall to sell talismans;
while the prodigies of the great sects seclude themselves to break through their bottlenecks, I fret over next month’s “Huabei spirit-stone” payments;
while demonic overlords plot to overthrow the cultivation world, I haggle with the Demon Sect elder who lent me money: “Bro, can you cut the interest a little? I’ll definitely pay you back after my next breakthrough!”
Then one day, I unexpectedly awaken the “Negative Energy Conversion System”: the more debt I owe, the faster my cultivation rises!
And so the entire cultivation world witnesses the rise of a shameless, cunning, yet utterly ridiculous “Debt-Ridden Immortal Emperor”…
Others cultivate immortality through talent. I do it through debt!
“What? You have ten thousand spirit stones in savings? Quick, lend them to me. I’m about to break through!”
