A City-Building Decree from the Start

Coming soon: Cultivate Immortality! The Card Pool Has Been Updated. The blurb is below! Blurb: Xie Chen struggled to survive in a post-apocalyptic world of blood and toil, only to die in his third year. When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn before the game descended upon the world. This time, he made straight for the biggest beginner’s treasure chest. A gilded Lord’s Decree landed in his palm. The game’s first human safe haven had been established! Rumor had it you could buy any game item there, even god-tier equipment! It was the place every survivor dreamed of reaching! With his territory established, Xie Chen killed monsters, leveled up, and developed his settlement. He forged equipment to hold off the beast tide, brewed medicine, and cooked delicious food… Looking at his overflowing warehouse and backpack, he let out a long breath. This was a much more comfortable life than the one he’d had in his previous life! But what was with the human-shaped creature beside him? Lu Shuo, the number-one player on the rankings in his previous life, known as “the Madman,” had only been cured of his madness by Xie Chen. So why was he refusing to leave? And Lu Shuo, the madman who had once slaughtered his way through the rankings, now sheathed his claws and pressed a bloodstained finger to Xie Chen’s lips, smiling tenderly. “After you saved my life, how about I repay you by giving myself to you?” Reader’s guide: A popular young lord shou × a free-spirited leader gong who’s gentle around the shou. Friendship-focused. All the territory’s residents dote on the shou. They work together to build their home. No melodrama or awful characters. A satisfyingly overpowered golden finger!

Blurb: Xia Yun Zhao transmigrates into the body of a treasure hunter in the cultivation world who can barely stay alive. He only wants to cultivate and farm with his bronze pill furnace. Who would have thought the furnace could draw cards? Feed it enough spirit stones and spiritual treasures, and it can produce cultivation manuals and pill recipes Five-card draw from the start: You received [Qi Gathering Art], [Lightness Technique], [Spiritveil Pill Recipe], [Azure Cloud Boots Forging Manual]… Congratulations, you received the yellow-grade cultivation method [Qi Gathering and Essence Circulation Art]! And that’s just the beginning. The furnace can also produce endless formation diagrams, talismans, and spirit-plant catalogs… After a few draws, Xia Yun Zhao finally caught on… Wait a minute. It only needs spiritual energy, right? It never said the offerings had to be high-grade spiritual treasures! The bronze pill furnace: … Word has it that a mysterious cultivator appeared in the Lian Cui Mountains. Apparently, he’s good at collecting trash. He carries home basket after basket of Spiritveil Grass that nobody else wants, and he collects sack after sack of murky mushrooms that everyone else avoids… The other cultivators all thought he’d gone crazy from poverty… until they saw the items in his possession: a hundred Spiritveil Pills, a hundred defense discs, a hundred water-purifying gourds, a hundred Seven-Star Rings, and even a hundred Heaven-Mending Mirrors, a powerful magical treasure lost to time! He made a fortune from his treasures and advanced in cultivation faster than a rabbit! Good heavens, I thought the Heavenly Dao treated all things as straw dogs. How come he gets to live so well? The cultivation world is in turmoil, and life is hard. While others fight tooth and nail over a single magical treasure, Xia Yun Zhao’s cave is filled with rare spirit herbs, cultivation manuals, and talismans, and protected by peerless formations. …He even has a peerless sword cultivator of profound cultivation guarding him. It’s practically a trap designed to lure people in and kill them. Xia Yun Zhao looks up at the changed sky. Maybe this cultivation world isn’t so hard to get by in after all!
