The Canny Immortal: While Everyone Else Works Themselves to the Bone, I Lie Back and Win

The Cangxuan Continent is crawling with cutthroat strivers.

Some fight tooth and nail over a single spirit stone, some risk their lives against a first-rank demon beast, and countless talented disciples push themselves to Foundation Establishment, then to the Golden Core stage, only to end up pushing themselves into an early grave.

Only Shen Laoliu, a transmigrated office drone, is determined to be an ordinary mortal living in peace.

He hides in earthen caves, pretends to be a good-for-nothing, and scavenges trash. With a “Dao of Playing It Safe” token that secretly cultivates for him and conceals his aura, he quietly plays it safe all the way from Qi Refining to the Nascent Soul stage.

While others drive themselves to exhaustion, he lies flat and watches the show;

While others fight to prove their strength, he outmaneuvers them and scoops up the bargains;

While others die pursuing the Dao, he plays it safe until he gains eternal life.

As the strivers desperately compete for opportunities, mentors, and cultivation, Shen Laoliu sits on an auspicious cloud, chewing a wild-vegetable flatbread with a calm expression:

“Don’t rush. The more strivers die, the fewer are left. In the end, the one who wins is always the immortal who knows how to play it safe, Laoliu.”

Others strive until they drop. I lie flat and win my way to immortality!
