   📚Book Title: Who Taught Him This Way of Cultivating Immortality? 🔥Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (A hilarious guide to cultivation that will make you laugh until your meridians feel reversed) This book is practically the "Wolf of Wall Street" of the cultivation novel world! When the male protagonist, a typical office worker, enters the world of cultivation with the hardcore modern mindset of "making money is the priority, cultivation is secondary," he manages to turn the arduous cultivation story into a "Cultivation Version of a Business Tycoon"—while others are in seclusion, he collects rent; while others refine pills, he mines. The most ingenious part is that he packages the heavenly tribulation as a "5G base station in the cultivation world," thereby harvesting cultivation capital in reverse! --- ### 💥 [Nuclear-level Highlight Bombardment]💥 1. **The Master of Reverse Wool-Pumping** While other sects toil away in cultivation, Zhang Yang, the senior disciple of the Qingyun Sect, specializes in "resource recycling"—he brazenly claims that stealing copper mines is a fixed asset of the Qingyun Sect! "; When extorting Jiang Zhiqi, the market manager, he transformed into a human calculator: "Twenty-two years of tax revenue amounted to 100,000 spirit stones, split 50/50, fair and square." Uncle-Master Ling Yunzi was completely dumbfounded: "Aren't we a prestigious and righteous sect?" " 2. **Cross-Server Management Master** They operate the cultivation market like a company, providing a one-stop service for tax collection, business recruitment, and KPI setting, and even making empty promises to independent cultivators: "Join the Qingyun Sect, and you can exchange 996 blessings for ascension options!" " Jiang Zhi Qiu, who was threatened, went from being furious to actually liking it with just three sentences: "Junior brother, broaden your horizons, this is called resource integration!" " 3. **The King of PUA in the Cultivation World** • Using the Tao Te Ching to fool his master: "The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much; we should follow the way of humanity!" " • : "Stop mining," Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences. (In reality, he had already stuffed the copper ore into his spatial ring.) • Upgrading flying swords by feeding them copper ore is euphemistically called "a sword-cultivation version of quantitative easing." --- 🎭**Famous Scene Combat** ✔️ At the site of the tribulation, a "scan-to-charge" service was launched, instantly turning heavenly lightning into shared energy. ✔️ Turn the "Inner Demon Tribulation" into an immersive scripted murder mystery game and earn 500 spirit stones from NPCs. ✔️ They installed an anti-addiction system on the spirit artifact, euphemistically calling it "protection for minors in the cultivation world." --- 💡**** ⚠️ , "" ⚠️ , ⚠️ "" ?

    Cultivation novels, a popular genre in online literature, have always attracted readers with their grand worldviews, dramatic plots, and the protagonist's growth journey. The novel *A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting as a Guardian of the Waste Pill Room* reveals its core premise from its title—the protagonist starts as a lowly "guardian of the waste pill room" and gradually embarks on a path of cultivation to defy fate. This "mortal cultivation" style not only resonates with readers but also lays the groundwork for numerous plot developments. *A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting as a Guardian of the Waste Pill Room* is a typical example of a "mortal cultivation" masterpiece. With its delicate writing, reasonable settings, and solid pacing, it tells the story of an ordinary cultivator's rise to power.
