[Get-rich adventure + wild, hilarious fun + modern cultivation + time dilation + trading across the Three Realms]
[One year for every day] With a time difference in a secret realm, I use modern inventions to make a fortune across the Three Realms!
Ibuprofen for spirit stones? Lunch boxes for spirit stones? Baking soda to improve alchemy? A rice cooker for refining pills? Smart greenhouses for growing immortal herbs? From the start, I’m exiled to a remote land, where one day equals a year. I’ve got the cultivation world wrapped around my finger. My only problem is having too many spirit stones and too much cash in the mortal world.
Lu Ming is a medical intern, squeezed dry by quack doctors, despised by his ex-girlfriend, and fired by the hospital. He’s so broke he’s about to pawn the pants off his own behind. Clutching his family’s ancestral jade pendant, he’s suddenly engulfed in golden light and crashes straight into a remote cultivation land.
“One year in the secret realm equals one day in the mortal world. That’s an exceptionally large time difference: one year for every day,” the jade pendant’s spirit says lazily.
He freezes for a second, then grins. Does that mean he can grow spirit herbs in a forbidden land for a whole year, while only one day passes in the mortal world?
Then grow them! Start right now! Sell them back in the mortal world when they’re ready!
And so, he starts cultivating spirit herbs on an industrial scale in the forbidden land, then opens a trading company in the mortal world. With rice cookers for refining pills and smart greenhouses for growing immortal herbs, he uses the time difference to steadily monopolize the pill and magical treasure markets across the Three Realms.
In the end, every sect across the entire cultivation world, large or small, owes Lu Ming spirit stones.
When others ask how he did it, he casually swings his bag full of spirit stones and says, “I started with a lunchbox. I used the time difference, one year for every day, to move goods across the Three Realms. Now I’m the richest man in all three, without lifting a finger.”
