Cultivation? I'd Rather Start a Company

*A cultivation novel with infrastructure building and business management.

Tao Hongyue is transmigrated into a book as an illegitimate son who cannot cultivate. All he wants is to lie flat and live a peaceful life, but his exceptional spiritual roots make the legitimate sons of his clan covet them, hoping to take them for their own cultivation.

To save his life, he runs away... and meets the young protagonist, who can't walk properly.

At this point, Qin Lie hasn't yet grown into the darkened, terrifying big boss from the original novel. To stay alive, Tao Hongyue decides to cling to this powerful ally! Helping the protagonist when he's down is like buying the dip: a sure-fire investment!

"You've been so good to me. I have no way to repay you..."

"I can't cultivate, so you have to protect me for the rest of my life!"

His investment pays off, and Tao Hongyue thinks he can lie flat and wait for the returns.

But later...

Later, Tao Hongyue not only starts cultivating, he also opens a company in the immortal realm. Everyone else's mountain is called something like a certain peak or a certain immortal's abode, but his is called the Cultivation Is Fun Limited Company.

Nobody understands what "company" means, but they all know Tao Hongyue's mountain is safe and reliable, offers plenty of benefits, and even gives them weekends off!

Hey, wait, weekends off doesn't mean dual cultivation. Don't read too much into it!

In the end, Tao Hongyue builds a ladder to the heavens and punches a hole in the sky, allowing spiritual energy to flow freely once more so everyone can cultivate.

All under heaven are grateful for Tao Hongyue's kindness and revere him as the Heavenly Sage Immortal, unaware that the only thing this immortal wants is to retire and live off his pension.

Do not disturb: I'm building a cultivation business through tears so I can retire early!

Theme: Refuse to bow to fate, and never give up on yourself
