   "The aura of Xuanming True Water?! No!" The leading disciple of the Shahun Sect's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, his face revealing horror for the first time. He could clearly see that it was not genuine Xuanming True Water, but it was definitely a fusion attack containing a trace of pure Xuanming True Water's chilling aura and the earth's turbid power! This young man had such a trump card hidden within him?! This reversal happened in an instant. After exhaling that fused chilling aura, Wei Qing's face instantly turned ashen, clearly indicating a huge drain on his energy. But his right hand didn't stop moving at all. Taking advantage of the moment when the Ghost-Faced Spider was destroyed and the Shahun Sect members were in shock, his five fingers, like hooks, plunged deep into the soil, grasped the root of the You Tan plant, and pulled with force! The entire black jade-like plant, along with its tangled roots, was completely pulled out by him! An even richer, clearer soul power emanated from it. "Damn it! Leave the Soul-Gathering Flower behind!" The leader of the Fiend Soul Sect roared in fury, disregarding everything else. He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and charged straight at Wei Qing. The other three were also awakened, each activating their magical artifacts and spells. Even the disciple controlling the blood bees forcibly commanded them to bypass the obstacles and swarm towards Wei Qing. Wei Qing succeeded, and without lingering, he stuffed the Soul-Gathering Flower into a jade box he had prepared beforehand, closed the lid, affixed a talisman to seal it, and placed it in his storage ring—all in one swift motion. At the same time, he stomped on the ground, using the momentum to retreat rapidly.

    Hidden in the mundane world, a mortal body proves immortality! This urban cultivation novel, "Monthly Salary 3500: My Cultivation in the Mortal World," is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends the philosophy of the *Tao Te Ching* with the daily life of an urban mortal. There are no heaven-defying opportunities or sectary support, only the cultivation methods Chu Fan gleaned from classical texts, full of everyday life and sincerity. Chu Fan remains the same low-level office worker who dares not be late for his perfect attendance bonus. His cultivation is not empty talk about escaping the world—he takes "embracing simplicity and guarding one's integrity" as the foundation of his cultivation, rejecting shortcuts and studying the *Tao Te Ching* word by word under the lamplight in his rented room late at night to explore the inner workings. He uses "water benefits all things without striving" as his strategy, facing the strange beasts in the community's green belt without being aggressive, but quietly resolving the crisis by relying on the power of the plants. He restrains his desires with "contentment brings happiness," even if his savings are only enough to buy a small piece of spirit jade, he can still find joy in breathing exercises. His path to immortality is hidden in the money he saves on meals, in the bumpy rides on the subway, and in his perseverance in balancing work and cultivation. It truly reveals that even a mortal can seek the truth of the path to immortality.
