Eerie Cultivation: My System Self-Destructed, Yet I Became a Sword Immortal

After transmigrating to Great Qin, Lin Fan discovers that this is no flourishing age of immortal cultivation, but a carefully constructed farm for raising human flesh. The so-called path to immortality is nothing more than a path of mutation fueled by the life force of mortals. The higher one's cultivation, the deeper the mutation. Those celebrated by the masses as "ascenders" are actually top-grade medicinal ingredients, swallowed whole. Even worse, his golden finger explodes the moment it activates, leaving behind only the Immortal Sword Physique. No cultivation arts, no resources, no backing. Lin Fan can only hide his identity and work as an inconspicuous tavern waiter in a remote border town. While others cultivate frantically, he quietly wipes tables. While others fight for fame and profit, he secretly accumulates sword energy. While others ascend to immortality, he watches coldly as one after another is devoured without a trace. Local thugs demand protection money? He smiles and hands over the silver, then waits for a chance to quietly reduce them to ash. An immortal master comes to select disciples? He disguises himself as a good-for-nothing and gets rejected, watching the delighted youths march toward the slaughterhouse.
