My Clan Is Too Weak: Conning My Way Through the Cultivation World

Shen Mo is the clan head of a small, low-ranking family in Qingshi City. Three years into his tenure, his clan is in steady decline. The Zhao family is pressuring him to marry into their family so they can absorb his clan, while the Black Wind Stronghold demands protection money. Their expenses far exceed their income. One night, while standing before his father's memorial tablet, Shen Mo unexpectedly discovers a jade slip hidden in a secret compartment: the Treasure Appraisal Scripture. From then on, he begins a life of swindling and trickery in the cultivation world.
