A Hundred Billion in Debt from the Start? I Refine the World with Ten Thousand Voices

[No romance + Clever heroine who outsmarts the odds + Everyone has a brain + Plot-driven + Ensemble cast + Long-term foreshadowing]

On her thirty-first day in the cultivation world, Du Chuanxing had just finished a month of waitressing at an inn. Before she could even warm the five hundred low-grade spirit stones she’d earned, the woman inside her jade pendant took them all.

The woman told her she owed ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.

The equivalent of tens of billions.

If she couldn’t pay, she’d die.

Du Chuanxing did the math on her wages and decided to find another line of work.

No money for the exam fee? She sold things other people didn’t want at a premium.

Can’t get the big reward herself? Then she’d get someone else to win it for her.

Opponent too strong? Then she’d find a way to make sure they couldn’t compete.

She’d always believed there was a solution to everything.

If she couldn’t win in a fight, she’d use the rules or the terrain. If that still wasn’t enough, she had herself to rely on.

She didn’t love musical instruments, yet somehow became a sound cultivator.

Wind, rain, thunder, swords, and the ringing of formations: anything in the world that made a sound could be used by her.

At first, Du Chuanxing only wanted to pay off those ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Later, she discovered that this was already the easiest debt she had to repay.

Her mother’s death, the sundering of her homeland, and the severed path to ascension that had been closed for a thousand years.

Someone had taken something that belonged to this world, and the debt owed to heaven and earth had been charged to her.

Du Chuanxing: “…”

Oh, well.

Since she was already here.

As for how she ended up ascending while trying to pay off her debts…

Well, she had to blame her honesty and reliability.

A debt was a debt, and she always paid it back.
