I Grinded My Way into Becoming a Talent After Entering a Cultivation World

Xian Yi was brought by the System to transmigrate to the cultivation world.

There were many ways to cultivate: swordsmanship, the Dao, body cultivation, emotion, alchemy, formations, crafting, talismans, music, plants, food, incense, literature... and more.

Xian Yi was dazzled by the choices. She figured adults shouldn't have to pick just one thing, so she decided to try everything that interested her.

And so she began her journey of cultivating in multiple disciplines.

The cultivation world was full of geniuses, and among the other players who had transmigrated there were plenty of prodigies in one particular cultivation path.

Since Xian Yi was cultivating in several disciplines, her progress was painfully slow. Some geniuses had already made a name for themselves in the cultivation world, while she was still struggling to solve problems in just one of her disciplines.

Watching those geniuses shine in the cultivation world, Xian Yi was so envious she could have cried a river.

To become a somewhat famous genius herself, she began training even harder.

After years of grinding, she finally defeated an opponent in a tournament by using that opponent's own cultivation path.

At first, no one thought much of it. But then she competed against one cultivator after another, each with a different path, and beat every one of them using their own methods.

Huh? What's going on? Isn't she cultivating in XXX? How does she know xxx too? And she knows XXX as well!

Watching her switch between cultivation methods, the others gradually grew numb. One thought arose in their minds:

This person is terrifying!

The System that brought the players to this world was stingy: it expected them to run but wouldn't even give them a blade of grass. Posting on the System forum cost precious points the players had worked so hard to earn.

And their posts had time limits, too.

Aside from the very beginning, before they started cultivating, the System was constantly on the verge of being downright inhuman. The daily training assignments pushed nearly every player to their limits.

The players had no choice but to diligently cultivate every day. If they slacked off, they wouldn't finish their tasks. Not only would they earn no points, but their existing points would be deducted as well.

And what if their points ran out?

Great. They could look forward to having their spiritual roots shatter.

Who knew how long they'd survive without their spiritual roots?

Before long, the cultivation world had gained a whole group of relentless grinders. Under the grinders' "voluntary" leadership, everyone else in the cultivation world was forced to work harder and harder, too.

Reader's Guide:

1. This is a cultivation story focused mainly on the plot. There is no romance in the early chapters.

2. The System won't give the players much help. They have to improve their own strength themselves.
