Cultivation, comedy, penny-pinching, extraordinary comprehension, a protagonist who grows
In a dirt-poor ninth-rank sect, he'll risk modifying the cultivation method passed down by the founding patriarch with a mortal's "pouring oil through a funnel" trick, all to save twenty percent of his spiritual energy. Just to absorb a little spiritual energy, he'll even work as a fire-tending servant in the alchemy room, using precise control to squeeze every last bit of medicinal essence from discarded pill dregs.
He has no old master hiding in his pocket, and no cheat System that blindly hands him power. Watch as this young man, who splits a single pill into four pieces, relies on the shrewd thriftiness he's learned from scraping by in the streets and his monstrous ability to see through the laws governing all things. Step by step, he'll forge his own path and face the ultimate tribulation of ascending to the Mahayana realm!
