Xie Wuyang is an unaffiliated cultivator at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, with ordinary talent and no backing whatsoever.
Her lifelong dream is simple: save enough spirit stones to buy a small island with decent spiritual energy, raise a few spirit chickens, grow some vegetables, and live a peaceful life until she ascends.
For this, she has set herself three ironclad rules:
One: Don't cause trouble.
Two: Don't be afraid of trouble.
Three: Never draw attention to yourself.
Until one day, while manning a stall in the market district, she happens to find a battered copy of Basic Legal Compendium of the Cultivation World.
From then on, her life takes a turn:
When others kill for treasure, she pulls out a memory-recording stone on the spot. "Fellow Daoist, what you just did violates Article Seventeen of the Cultivation World's Public Order Regulations. I've recorded the whole thing."
When others scramble for spots in an ancient secret realm, she quietly signs up for the Immortal Realm Civil Service Exam, passes, and secures a stable government job.
When others are hunted by demonic cultivators, she turns around and reports them, collecting a bounty from the Righteous Alliance.
Gradually, everyone begins to realize that this seemingly harmless unaffiliated female cultivator is... a little strange.
One day, the number one Sword Venerable of the cultivation world comes to see her in person, his expression grave. "Xie Wuyang, how much do you know about the whereabouts of that ancient divine artifact?"
Xie Wuyang sets down her ledger and looks up with a smile.
"Senior, would you like the official price, or the private rate?"
