From the Start, I Back Ning Yao to the Hilt, and the Money-Grubbing Daoist Slaughters His Way Through the Cave Heaven

He transmigrates into the poorest peasant in the Dragon Pearl Grotto-Heaven.

He has seven copper coins in his pocket, not enough to afford even a hot meal.

Luckily, he activates the Get-Rich System. Any money earned through honest labor can be exchanged for cultivation techniques, pills, and every kind of cultivation resource.

Stolen or extorted? Not worth a single coin.

From the start, he finds the gravely wounded Ning Yao after she falls on a barren hillside.

"I saved your life. That'll be ten taels of silver."

Ning Yao tosses him a Snowflake Coin.

That night, her bone-corroding poison flares up. Out of her mind, she pins him to the floor of the woodshed.

Afterward, she glares at him and threatens to kill him to keep him quiet. He remains unfazed. "It has nothing to do with me. We're even."

Ning Yao has never met a man who could negotiate a deal in a situation like this.

A Mountain-Moving Ape bullies mortals? Take the job: three hundred taels to scare off the great demon using Qi Jinchun's name.

Cai Jinjian steals Chen Ping'an's keepsakes? Take the job: ten thousand taels to create a diversion and finish the job in four minutes.

Cui Minghuang drives Ma Zhan to his death? No one will pay? No problem. Slap him first, then collect from the victim's family.

That's called payment after delivery.

Someone asks why he draws his sword.

He says, "Someone paid me."

Ning Yao asks him, "When will you stop keeping score?"

He doesn't answer.

But when he stands in front of the tent and takes a blow from a Sea-Viewing cultivator, he isn't keeping score.

And when Qi Jinchun looks at him for the last time before dying, he isn't keeping score either.

"Young Master Chu, can we negotiate the price?"

"No."
