Laughing at My Five-Element Spiritual Root? I'll Make Money First, Then Ascend

An overpowered female lead, hilarious cultivation comedy, and pure wish fulfillment

[Transmigrate into a book + supporting female character + cultivation + absurd comedy + revenge + powerful female lead + comeback]

Chi Yu transmigrates into a cultivation novel as a cannon-fodder supporting female character.

Five-spirit-root talent, menial labor, a monthly allowance of five low-grade spirit stones, and a face that practically screams short-lived cannon fodder.

The good news: the plot doesn't start for a few years, so there's time to keep her head down.

The bad news: her spiritual root is a money-devouring beast. It's the legendary Chaos Devouring Spirit Root, said to consume everything. It needs a steady supply of heavenly treasures to level up, and without money, it just lies flat.

She also gets a dim-witted rabbit who hops around by her ear every day, shouting, “Who else can revive the Northern Abyss but you!”

Chi Yu: “We'll get to reviving it later. First, tell me how I'm supposed to keep this spiritual root fed.”

To support her money-burning spiritual root, Chi Yu becomes the sect's biggest oddball:

While everyone else meditates, she makes pills. While they fight, she cultivates. While they date, she counts her spirit stones.

The original heroine shows up with her admirers and says sweetly, “Chi Yu, you can't change your fate like this.”

Chi Yu pauses in the middle of counting her spirit stones and nods earnestly. “I can, can't I? Otherwise, why would I be saving up for a coffin?”

On the day of the sect tournament, she kicks the heroine and her entire entourage of admirers off the arena, smiling brightly:

“Sorry, you're in the way of my making money and ascending to immortality.”
