    Reader note

    Slowly simmering the taste of mundane cultivation, this urban fantasy novel refuses to be mindless. "Monthly Salary 3500: I Cultivate Immortality in the Mortal World" is a slow-burn contemporary fantasy cultivation novel that goes against the routine. There is no golden finger every second, and there is no thrill of crushing all the way. It only relies on delicate writing to lay out a real path of a mortal cultivating immortality. Chu Fan, who was born in a rural area, worked hard in the city with a copy of the "Tao Te Ching". His cultivation was never an overnight counterattack - the sense of energy state had to be slowly explored through breathing in the subway day after day. The opportunity for breakthrough in the foundation state was hidden in the life insights of helping neighbors repair home appliances. Even the Ningdan required hard work and polishing through countless overtime nights. There are no fights that can destroy the city at every turn, and there are no opportunities that come to your door without thinking. The story is more about the trivialities of the workplace, the warmth of the neighborhood, and the protagonist's struggle and balance between spiritual practice and life. It is slow but not procrastinating. Every step of growth has traces to follow. The more you taste it, the more you can taste the unique taste of ordinary people's cultivation.
