[Clear-Headed, Career-Minded Sect Leader X A Self-Contradictory, Action-Oriented Immortal Venerable]
[Transmigrate + Anti-Trope + Management + Lighthearted + Ensemble Cast + Happy Ending]
The standard opening for someone who transmigrates into the cultivation world: a Heavenly Spirit Root, an ancient divine artifact, and a divine beast recognizing them as its master.
Su Tan’s start: three spirit stones, three disciples, and a mountain on the verge of dying.
Other sect leaders: secluded cultivation, treasure hunts in secret realms, and ascending to immortality after surviving tribulations.
Su Tan as sect leader: turning a ramshackle hut into a meditation chamber, marketing a hot spring as a sword-intent recovery pool, and selling spirit tea made from alchemy dregs until it sells out.
The day a long line formed outside Qingyun Sect, someone from the Immortal Realm arrived. The immortal official accused her of neglecting her proper duties and setting a bad example, making even low-ranking cultivators lose interest in ascending to immortality.
Su Tan placed three things before the official: a letter of thanks signed by her guest elders, a tax receipt stamped by the merchants’ guild, and a thick stack of guest books without a single bad review.
After reading them, the official fell silent for a long while, then asked, “Are you hiring?”
The message of this book: The value of life cannot be defined by a single standard. Everyone has the right to choose their own path.
The setting is novel, the disciples are very up to date, and the male protagonist is like a cold-faced cuteness.
