A Slacker's Guide to Immortality, with Mastery of Pills and Artifacts

Xu Xing, a laid-back player who only uses life skills, transmigrates into a cultivation world. Just as she's about to starve to death, she discovers that she's brought along the life-skill interface from her game! Alchemy! Forging! Treasure hunting! Fishing! Beast taming! It's all there! Xu Xing bursts into tears of joy. She can finally eat her fill! But it's hard to keep a low profile in a world crawling with monsters. Xu Xing has a useless Five Elements spiritual root, so she joins a cultivation sect. To level up her skills in peace and get enough to eat, she sets her sights on a poor sword cultivator with maxed-out combat skills and a built-in bad-luck buff. Senior Brother, wait up! You do the work, I'll pay. Let's both win! And so the peerless senior brother swordsman becomes the laid-back junior sister's sidekick~ When Xu Xing gathers herbs, he practices his swordsmanship in the medicinal valley and helps her chop up poisonous bugs along the way; When Xu Xing mines ore, he practices swordsmanship in the mines and carries the ore down the mountain for her; When Xu Xing hunts for treasure, he practices swordsmanship in the secret realm and teaches the treasure snatchers a lesson... Xu Xing, with her reliable hired muscle: Fighting and killing is no fun. Life skills are much more interesting. Everyone else: Could you put down that top-grade weapon before you say that? The sword cultivator, thinking to himself: Am I really just hired muscle...? At first, everyone laughed at her: With such a useless constitution, and no interest in cultivating properly, she's a good-for-nothing who'll never get anywhere. Later, watching Xu Xing casually produce top-quality pills and magical artifacts, and easily crush her opponents with her gear alone, they all beat their chests in dismay: You call that a laid-back player? She's a well-rounded battle god! Xu Xing, munching away: Actually, at first, I just wanted to eat my fill... [The protagonist carries a life-skill interface from an online game. No System.

Not only does she get half the Demon Lord's cultivation and lifespan for free, but he also takes on all the harm she suffers. The Demon Lord, who's lost far more than he bargained for: ...

Seeing Yun Shu slack off with such panache, and draw the attention of the Immortal Sect's young prodigies, the Demon Lord, who had been bent on destroying the world and taking revenge, breaks free of his seal: What should I do if I accidentally made a marriage contract instead of a master-servant contract?
