The Web of Intrigue: A Mortal Cannon Fodder's Scheme to Become a Cultivation Big Shot

[Mortal Cultivation]+ [Information Advantage]+ [Political Scheming]+ [Rising from the Bottom]+ [Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger]+ [Bargain Hunting]

A cannon-fodder soldier digging a pit to bury a corpse unexpectedly finds a mysterious compass.

The compass's powers: see through lies and uncover rare treasures hidden beneath ordinary things.

Others try to deceive him? No chance. He can see both truth and lies, then turn their schemes against them.

Others see something as worthless? He buys it for next to nothing and sells it for ten times the price.

Others set traps for him? He dodges them with ease.

As a mere Qi Refining ant, he wins over a powerful female Core Formation cultivator without relying on an ink-dragon's lewd pouch.

Using the compass to monopolize his information advantage, he plans every move, quietly snaps up bargains, and plays the pig to eat the tiger. He rises from a lowly cannon-fodder soldier, advancing through Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation, until he becomes an unrivaled cultivation powerhouse.
