This Cultivation Art Drains My Yang Energy? I’ll Hand It Over to the State!

[Cultivation + state-sponsored support + overwhelming modern-world power + devotion to one's parents]

Lu Yuan accidentally comes across a jade slip and acquires an ancient cultivation legacy.

He thinks he'll be soaring through the skies on a sword and reaching the pinnacle of life, but as soon as he starts cultivating, he discovers this damn technique is a bottomless pit!

It forces him to circulate it every day while voraciously devouring the Host's life force. Without a vast supply of rare treasures like century-old wild ginseng and premium Hetian jade, Lu Yuan will be sucked dry within three days!

So poor he can't even afford instant noodles, Lu Yuan looks at his sunken cheeks in the mirror, grits his teeth, and walks into the Dragon Kingdom Academy of Sciences.

“I have a cultivation technique that can make people live forever, but it's sucking me to death. Please, save me!”

After rigorous testing, the country's top officials go completely wild! This is the only way to break through the limits of carbon-based life!

At a single command, the national treasury is thrown open!

Century-old wild ginseng is chewed like carrots, premium spirit jade is laid out as bedding, and Daoist texts from across the country and leading experts in traditional Chinese medicine gather in one place to devise a cultivation plan for Lu Yuan alone!

With the entire nation's resources behind him, Lu Yuan not only survives, but successfully establishes his foundation within a week. He even hands the [Life-Extension Pill Formula] and [Spirit-Energy Gathering Array] over to the government.

When Lu Yuan returns to his hometown, exuding an immortal's presence and accompanied by two top-tier bodyguards, he comes upon loan-shark thugs pressuring his mother to sell her blood to repay her debts.

Lu Yuan's gaze turns cold. He doesn't even need his bodyguards to act. A streak of sword energy from his fingertip cleaves the thugs' luxury car and the front gate in two!

“Lay a hand on my family? Even if the King of Heaven himself showed up today, he'd still have to kneel before me!”
