In a corner of the sect’s library, outer disciple Lin Mo discovers a tattered cultivation manual that no one cares about. On his first night of cultivation, he’s amazed to find that every cycle of energy he channels through his body turns directly into real-world copper coins, which clink down beside his bed. While everyone else is risking their lives for a few low-grade spirit stones, Lin Mo has already saved up a small bag of coins through “cash-outs.” Then, one day, he tries practicing the manual’s second layer, and a smooth, warm silver coin rolls into his palm.
