After Inheriting a Mountain of Gold, I Cultivated Immortality by Throwing Money Around

Please add my upcoming novel, After the Palace Intrigue Mission Failed. Now available!

This novel: Qingyu transmigrates to the world of cultivation and decides to make a life plan for herself: Find a master in three years, reach Foundation Establishment in five, and become the strongest under heaven within seven hundred years!

She never expected to exceed her goal in the very first year and successfully find a master. Unfortunately...

Watching her master, a sage-like little old man, skillfully patch his old Daoist robe with an embroidery needle, Qingyu can't hold back. "Master, are we practicing the Way of Poverty or something?"

Her master's gaze is distant. "No, the Sword Dao!"

Qingyu: "..."

"Help! My sect is full of broke people. We can't even afford the fee to fly on our swords. What do I do? Urgent!"

Looking at her entire sect, from her unfathomably powerful senior sister, stumped by half a dou of rice, to her junior brothers and sisters, who haven't yet achieved inedia and are starving with their eyes glazed over, Qingyu takes a deep breath and immediately drafts a new life plan: Get rich. Make a fortune!

Fortunately, Qingyu suddenly receives a long-overdue golden finger from the heavens:

"Golden Mountain System, guiding you... er, protecting you! Host, spend ten low-grade spirit stones within half an incense stick, and receive a trial version of 'Dragon-Tiger Fist Intent'!"

Feeling the spirit stones that have appeared mysteriously in her arms, Qingyu's eyes fill with tears. Her heart surges: Master, we'll have dinner tonight!

But little by little, the System starts acting like a real menace...

Sect tournament.

"Host, spend fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones within one incense stick, or you'll be punished with a broken leg from the heavens."

Secret realm beast tide.

"Congratulations, you've been hit by two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. Spend them all within half an hour, or you'll be punished with a beheading from the heavens."

As the saying goes, threatening someone with punishment without offering a reward is just being a bully, and Qingyu couldn't agree more!

The involuntary rich lady Qingyu touches the ninth thousand eight hundred and seventy-second sword she's bought and sighs. "The weather's turning cold. Let's bankrupt Tianwu Sect."

But while Qingyu is busy spending money and practicing her swordsmanship, she fails to notice the increasingly strange way the new junior brother looks at her.

Synopsis for the upcoming novel After the Palace Intrigue Mission Failed:

Qin Wan transmigrates to a remote, impoverished mountain village. The System leaves her with the mission of becoming empress, then vanishes.

A hellish start. Fortunately, before leaving, the System gives her a golden finger.

The good news: It lets her rewind time.

The bad news: She can only rewind one minute.

More good news: It can be upgraded. The higher her status, the farther back she can rewind.

Using that tiny one-minute advantage, Qin Wan escapes being buried alive as a sacrifice and risks her life to save a beauty. She becomes the daughter of a minor official in the capital, earning the chance to enter the palace as a candidate in the selection.

Before she can establish herself, she keeps a low profile and repeatedly rewinds time, slowly building up her skills. She masters music, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, needlework, medicine, archery, and cooking, climbing the ranks one careful step at a time.

After ten years of diligent effort, no one in the palace is more qualified to become empress. But the emperor refuses to give in, even on his deathbed. Only then does Qin Wan realize that the damned emperor never intended to let her take the throne.

Ten years of plotting, all for nothing? Qin Wan is furious and goes mad with rage. She throws out an upgraded version of her time-rewinding ability. She'll go back to the beginning and choose a different emperor.

"I don't care who the emperor is. I must be empress!"

*

Qi Zhao is the emperor's youngest brother, and, in public, the most favored of the Great Yan dynasty's princes, the Seventh Prince.

But no one knows that the emperor has killed everyone close to him. All Qi Zhao can do is drown himself in wine and song, hidden away from the light of day.

Then one day, he meets a young woman. With her help, the gloom that has haunted him for years suddenly cracks, letting in a glimmer of light.

Before he knows it, he has fallen for her. But she becomes his sister-in-law, and he can only bury his feelings deep inside and endure them day after day.

He thinks they are fated never to be together, until he learns that she has no feelings for his older brother. His forbidden hopes flare up.

If the only way to be worthy of her is to claim that supreme position, then he is willing to fight for it.

"If all you want is to be empress, then be my empress!"

That's right. He has always existed in her memories of time.

Theme: Always keep striving, no matter what.
