Finding Treasure in an Abandoned Mine: My Path to Immortality Begins Undercover

Chen Jiu transmigrates into the cultivation world and becomes the lowest-ranking miner in the Azure Cliff Sect. From the start, he's sentenced to die in an abandoned mine.

With nowhere else to turn, he casually picks up an unremarkable black stone, and the dormant golden finger inside him suddenly goes wild with warnings!

When he turns in the ore, the appraisal elder's face changes dramatically. He drops to his knees and cries, “Ancestor, you've finally returned!”

Chen Jiu is dumbfounded. Wait, I thought I was just an undercover agent...

To his surprise, this “worthless rock” keeps drawing deadly attacks and triggering internal power struggles within the sect, even alarming an ancestor who has been in seclusion for a hundred years.

Forced to accept the deadly mission of finding the third “key stone,” he ventures deep into a forbidden death zone to face demonic cultivators from Fulong Ridge.

The black stone in his arms suddenly grows hot, and a cold, mechanical voice rings in his mind:

“Same-source energy detected. Consume it... and advance to ‘Keybearer’?”

Only then does Chen Jiu realize he has no choice: he must be an undercover agent, whether he wants to be or not.

And deep beneath the abandoned mine at his feet, a pair of eyes dormant for countless ages slowly opens.
