   Reader note

   As the wave of spiritual energy revival quietly sweeps through modern cities, and as the tradition of cultivation collides with advanced weaponry, this battle is absolutely thrilling! "Monthly Salary 3500: I Cultivate Immortality in the Mortal World" perfectly hits the sweet spot for fans of the spiritual energy revival theme! On the streets of Xinhai City, the smoke from breakfast stalls carries the spiritual energy fluctuations of Foundation Establishment cultivators; in an office cubicle, Chu Fan, a state-owned enterprise clerk, is secretly practicing the "Mysterious Origin Guardian Technique." Forty-four years ago, a cross-realm battle between cultivators from the Spirit Realm unexpectedly restarted the process of spiritual energy revival in the mortal world. From then on, lurking sect cultivators, the mysterious Spirit Control Bureau, and demonic forces hunting for treasures collide head-on with modern technologies such as missiles, fighter jets, and special bullets. Carrying the Gluttonous Soul-Devouring Talisman and the Soul Pearl of the Netherworld, Chu Fan navigates the harsh realities of the workplace, navigating crowded buses and engaging in workplace manipulation, while simultaneously cultivating in the spiritually sparse mortal realm. His Eight-Section Brocade can break illusions, his Divine Soul Technique can evade surveillance, and even the heavy snipers of the Spirit Control Bureau cannot stop him from practicing the "Tao Te Ching" of "maintaining stillness." Here, there is no technological crushing of cultivation, nor the mindless overpowered abilities of cultivators who ignore guns and cannons—those below the Golden Core stage are vulnerable to special bullets, and a salvo of missiles can obliterate Foundation Establishment cultivators. A perfect balance is achieved between the revival of spiritual energy and technological civilization. When the traditional cultivation path of "immortality" meets the modern society's pursuit of "peace and tranquility," and when Chu Fan's mortal protection clashes with the treasure-hunting battles of the spiritual realm sects, this urban cultivation drama amidst the revival of spiritual energy becomes increasingly captivating!

    Fans of protagonists with intellectually stimulating abilities shouldn't miss this. With the world experiencing a spiritual resurgence, various powerful abilities are emerging, but the protagonist possesses the ability to scan information. He can't set fires or engage in hand-to-hand combat, but he can see through the enemy's state and weaknesses. In several life-or-death situations—ambushed in alleys, besieged in warehouses against high-level villains—he relies on his ability to analyze weaknesses and create openings for his teammates. There's no mindless overpowered protagonist; the story effectively portrays the side effects of mental overload, and the sense of crisis and pressure is well-developed.
