   "Monthly Salary 3500: I Cultivate Immortality in the Mortal World" | A contemporary urban cultivation novel with a refreshing feel, no harem, delicate and poignant emotions, a thrilling and exhilarating story of a comeback and mutual deep affection, it's increasingly addictive! Beneath the glitz and glamour of the city lurks a hidden crisis. The millennia-old spiritual veins have completely collapsed, the Nine Cauldrons Realm Seal has crumbled, and the Demonic Sect army has invaded the mortal realm. The mortal world is engulfed in war, the Spirit Control Bureau is struggling to hold out, and the mortal world is on the verge of collapse. Chu Fan, a lowly office worker earning 3500 a month, awakens the Netherworld Soul Pearl in a desperate situation, wielding the power of the Dream Killing Domain. He can refine any modern object into a divine soul killing move. From a low-level office worker, he fights his way up against all odds, becoming a pillar of the mortal world. His love for Su Qingxia, from the mundane world to the flames of war, is devoid of flowery words, but condensed in every act of mutual support: the warm light left on when he returned home late from work, the carefully applied ointment when he was injured, the protective figure standing in front of him when the demonic tide struck, and their tightly clasped hands in dire straits. There's no ambiguity, no melodramatic entanglements, only the tacit understanding of shared joys and sorrows, the unwavering support in the face of life and death, and the tenderness in the small moments of daily life—more poignant than a thousand words. A clash of technology and cultivation, a grand world view spanning three realms, packed with exciting moments without dragging, the thrill of a heroic comeback wrapped in a deep, mutual protection—a blend of everyday life and epic grandeur, high-energy from start to finish!
