Eldritch Cultivation: Hehe! Fooled Someone Again!

This novel has a lot of dialogue and character-focused scenes, so readers who prefer a fast pace and plenty of fighting may want to give it a pass.

If you clicked in, you were probably drawn in by the title, right? The book was supposed to be called "Immortals Eat Immortals, and the Gifted Become Materials," but the title can no longer be changed.

The title was changed because the protagonist is rather passive early on and has a hard time setting traps for people. If you enjoy watching the protagonist outwit others, you can still give it a try, since he starts doing that once he gets stronger.

Li Nong transmigrates into a cage, becoming "material" selected for the immortals.

Everyone envies the lofty path to immortality, believing that immortals stand above the mundane world.

But the truth of this world is cruel and chilling: immortals eat immortals, and the gifted are turned into materials.

The so-called immortal sects are nothing but farms stacked one atop another; the so-called geniuses are all materials waiting to be harvested.

The Yuan clan of the Li family, Xing Mangzi, the Yellow Turban Army... Every faction is closing in, each wanting to seize his talent and refine him.

There are no little green bottles or old masters living in rings.

Amid the wolves and tigers, Li Nong advances cautiously, using the chaos of the age as a chessboard and his acting skills to deceive the gods above.

But he knows that a disguise is merely a bargaining chip for lying low.

On this man-eating path to immortality, only by holding fast to power and influence can he go from material awaiting slaughter to a player beyond the board.

"From this day on, I conceal myself behind the act, and let power decide who rises and falls."

Also, the author writes the novel by hand. AI recognition may lead to typos and some minor errors in the details.
