The Max-Level Big Shot Only Wants to Live Off His Lover

Please add my new novel to your collection: The Sword Cultivator Is Clearly Overpowered, Yet Ridiculously Poor Blurb: In the first half of his life, Yan Chi lost his mother, was abandoned by his father, bullied by his older brother, and tormented by his younger brother. He drifted from place to place, escaped death time and again, and endured untold suffering. As a result, he became cold-hearted and mercurial, with power as his sole pursuit. In the second half of his life, Yan Chi became the strongest person in the world. His power was unrivaled, and everyone feared him. After taking revenge, he lost interest in life and went into seclusion in the mountains. The only one who still came looking for him was Jiang Anlan, the sword cultivator next door, whose strength was on par with his. Jiang Anlan challenged him to sword duels every day. Unfortunately, Jiang Anlan had practiced the vow of silence for many years and never spoke. Yan Chi had merely gotten drunk and fallen asleep, but when he woke up, he had returned to the time when his mother was dying and his father planned to offer him as a cultivation cauldron to the visiting immortal cultivators. Having lived through it once already, Yan Chi suddenly couldn't bring himself to work hard. Since he'd been given another chance, why put himself through all that suffering again? Wouldn't it be better to rely on a powerful person and live off him? As it happened, wasn't the young master accompanying the visiting cultivators his neighbor from his previous life, Jiang Anlan? Yan Chi recalled Jiang Anlan's glorious power back then and decided this meal of soft rice would be even more secure. His wonderful life of doing nothing and waiting to die was about to begin. Everyone in the cultivation world knew that the partner whom the young master of the Chiyang Sect had brought back from the mortal realm was not to be trifled with. No one knew what trick he'd used to wrap the young master around his little finger, but offend that partner and the young master might wipe your sect off the map. At the Newcomer Tournament, a promising young cultivator from the Lingxi Sect insulted Yan Chi while Jiang Anlan was away. The beautiful partner simply took out a jade slip and casually recorded something. During the tournament's arena matches, Jiang Anlan returned, took out a familiar jade slip, and read aloud: "On the first day of the Newcomer Tournament, a newcomer from the Lingxi Sect insulted me. I feel so sad." The terrifyingly powerful sword cultivator stared coldly at the Lingxi Sect disciple, the tip of his sharp sword pointed at him. "If you want to bully A-Chi, you'll have to beat my sword first." Reader's guide: 1.

Cultivation stages: Qi Refining - Foundation Establishment - Heart Stirring - Golden Core - Nascent Soul - Soul Division - Deity Transformation - Tribulation Crossing - Great Accomplishment New xianxia comedy: The Sword Cultivator Is Clearly Overpowered, Yet Ridiculously Poor Yu Shu and his life-bound sword were bundled off the mountain by his sect leader senior brother. Officially, it was to give him some worldly experience. In reality, Yu Shu and his sword were burning through too many spirit stones, and his senior brother was nearly bankrupt from supporting them, so he sent Yu Shu away to earn his own money. Yu Shu was born with a natural sword bone, and his spirit sword had chosen him as its master. He was a perfect candidate for sword cultivation. After more than twenty years of training, he had reached the pinnacle of power, and even his senior brother couldn't beat him. But his life-bound spirit sword was a spirit-stone guzzler. Every time he nurtured it, it cost as much as two or three years' worth of resources for a small sect. Yu Shu was so poor he didn't have a single coin to jingle in his pocket. At long last, he found work taking commissions to earn spirit stones, but soon nobody was hiring him anymore. He'd tried everything to make money since coming down the mountain, yet he was still too poor to afford an inn. With nowhere to stay, Yu Shu could only find a cave outside the city and make it his home, while continuing to think of ways to earn spirit stones. When Bai Qinghong fled into the cave while being hunted, he never expected to find anyone there, let alone a sword cultivator who looked quite powerful. His pursuers had already caught up, and seeing that the sword cultivator didn't seem interested in getting involved, he made a quick decision. Bai Qinghong: If you help me, I'll reward you handsomely! Yu Shu paused mid-step: How handsomely? Bai Qinghong: Ten thousand spirit stones. I'll pay upfront! The moment he finished speaking, Bai Qinghong felt the cosmos pouch holding his spirit stones being taken from his hand. In the next instant, sword intent surged, and all his pursuers were sent flying into the sky. He watched the unfathomably powerful sword cultivator sheath his sword, then stare at him with shining eyes. "From today on, you're my brother, born of different parents!" Bai Qinghong: ... Reader's guide: 1. A ridiculously powerful sword cultivator gong with an abnormal thought process, who's also so poor he can't afford a thing x a max-level weapon refiner and alchemist, rich enough to swim in money, whose only skill outside of fighting is being good at everything. 2.
