I Become a Dao Lord by Short Selling

“You split up Qi Refining Pills worth five thousand each and eat them like they’re treasures. You’ve brought shame on the entire Chu family!”

“Come on, I’ll take you to short the sect.”

“Things I can’t stand”: A protagonist who has lived for over a hundred years and is still a virgin; villains who love calling people useless and constantly curse; protagonists who see a woman and get excited, endlessly describing how beautiful she is and having an inner monologue over a single glance; powerful characters who give away treasures everywhere without asking for anything in return; people who proclaim themselves righteous and lecture their opponents; characters who spend hundreds of chapters breaking through a single realm; and rescuing a monster on a whim only for it to turn into a beautiful young woman who repays the favor... These are all things the author hates, so this book has none of them. There are plenty more, but there’s no room to list them all.
