After transmigrating to Blackwater Ward in the East Sea, I landed with a debt of eight hundred spirit stones on my shoulders.
The Li family is waiting for the debt to come due so they can seize my house and spirit fields. The Zhou family is even worse: they plan to force me into marrying into their family and use me as a bloodline-breeding tool, trapping me in the back courtyard for the rest of my life with no hope of rising above my station.
With nowhere left to turn, I broke through to a new cultivation level and awakened an innate water-type Violet Palace.
But this golden finger is remarkably biased:
I can't benefit from its tenfold time acceleration at all. It can only be used to nurture water-type demon beasts.
Only the pure water in the pool can strip away every impurity from spirit materials. Those rotten seaweeds and scraps of spirit materials that others toss aside become top-grade cultivation resources after refinement.
Others risk their lives in the sea to hunt demon beasts, all for a meager chance at fortune.
I just pick up inferior spirit materials no one wants, buy dying young turtles, and steadily advance my cultivation by purifying resources. With the Violet Palace's time acceleration, I also raise weak demon beasts into fearsome deep-sea monsters in no time.
I will never marry into another family, and I will never let anyone push me around.
With a pool of purifying water in my Violet Palace and a stable of beasts raised on accelerated time, I rise from the lowest ranks of rogue cultivators to roam the vast East Sea.
This is the civilianization of mortals cultivating immortals.
