In the Cultivation World, Rise or Leave

[This is expected to come after I'm Tempted by Your CEO Persona. Please add it to your collection and show your support!]

After dying suddenly, Ren Xiaojuan was reborn as Ren Juanzhi, peak master of one of the branches of the Qi'an Sect.

She thought she could begin a thrilling life of vanquishing demons, but instead found herself stuck in a useless body with ruined meridians.

As if that weren't bad enough, when she was reborn, she became bound to a "rise or leave" System.

Rise meant ascending to immortality, while leave...

The System kindly reminded her: it means dying.

Ren Juanzhi: ...

Fine. If she wanted to stay alive, she'd have to return to her old line of work.

While everyone else ascended through cultivation, she would have to work hard and grind away at research!

Publish journals, write papers, conduct surveys, run experiments.

Exotic flowers and plants? Bring them on. Endangered spirit beasts? Put them to work!

After saving a peerless shapeshifting spirit beast, Ren Juanzhi said earnestly, "I want to conduct a longitudinal study, so please cultivate diligently. That way, I can record data from multiple stages of your development."

"..." A certain divine beast, who had spent five hundred years lying flat, began working himself to the bone too.

One day, Ren Juanzhi had a sudden flash of inspiration and said to him, "To study the offspring of crossbreeding within your species, I've decided to have a child with you."

"..."

Meng Ji was a spirit beast who had lived for over a thousand years, and the last of his kind.

After cultivating to a certain level, he chose to lie flat, living in seclusion in the mountains and paying no heed to the passage of time.

Then he was injured and rescued by Ren Juanzhi.

His leisurely, peaceful life was completely turned upside down...
