From Foundation-Building Sect Leader to Ruler of the Eternal Immortal Domains

Jiang Chen wakes up to find himself the most miserable sect master in the cultivation world...

His sect is down to five Foundation Establishment cultivators, its spiritual stone reserves cannot even buy one Foundation Establishment Pill, and the local strongmen, the An family, raise the rent every year.

The good news: he transmigrated with a purple jade gourd, and the gourd has all kinds of heaven-defying abilities!

The bad news: at this rate, the sect will fall apart sooner or later!

Jiang Chen doesn't let any of that stop him. He rolls up his sleeves and gets to work:

Improve the spirit wine!

Snatch up overlooked pill recipes!

Take down the bandit stronghold!

The An family wants to steal his spirit wine recipe? He turns the tables and lays a trap, leaving them so broke they can't afford a stitch of clothing!

The evil cultivators of the Blissful Gate want to wipe out his entire sect? Then he'll tear down their blood-sacrifice array first and turn their spies into double agents!

By the time he leads the Guiyuan Sect from a nobody to the ranks of first-rate powers, everyone is stunned...

How did this little sect master, once treated as a plaything by the An family, come to wield absolute power, command numerous top experts, and slaughter the invading myriad races as casually as chicks?!

“Master, people outside say there's something fishy about our sect.”

“Let them talk.” Jiang Chen knocks the dust from the sole of his boot. “Once I've blown up the myriad races' lairs, I'll deal with those bullies who only dare throw their weight around at home.”

[One-line summary: In the cultivation world, the poor get by through mutation. I rely on transmigrating with a gourd, taking my entire sect from bankruptcy to riches, and stewing the myriad races along the way.]
