I Grow Spirit Fields in the Cultivation World

[Complete! New novel now underway!]

[If the latest chapter shows a recent update time, it's just for fixing typos. Please ignore it!]

Song Jue opened his eyes and found himself in a remote backwater of the cultivation world, where he had become the owner of an unknown little shop.

He hated hardship most of all, but after binding himself to the Heavenly Dao, he was told that he had to bring about a spiritual qi revival in the cultivation world, or he would die and have his cultivation destroyed.

Every pill he sold increased the chance of a spiritual qi revival and raised his cultivation by one realm.

Every auction he held increased the chance of a favored child of fortune appearing and raised his cultivation by two realms.

He had just arrived in another world and didn't yet have the power to protect himself, so Song Jue agreed to this sure-fire deal.

He cultivated spiritual fields, opened a little shop, and auctioned off rare medicinal herbs, techniques, and talents. He could do it all, and only needed to lie back in a rocking chair, move his fingers, and collect the money. When he had some free time, he could even tease the Holy Son of a certain sect, whom he'd rescued and taken on as a shop assistant.

Chong Feng's face, which normally warned strangers to stay away, turned dark. His voice was like shards of ice: Do you have any manners?

Song Jue was very satisfied. Who wouldn't take a job that let them be powerful and lie flat?

[A rumor began circulating in the cultivation world.]

Jiangnan's Yancheng: boundless fortune, unfathomable mysteries.

Potted spiritual plants, treasures ten thousand years old, open the gates to immortality.

A library of wondrous books, rare cultivation techniques, open the road to heaven.

The people of the cultivation world were left drooling with envy!

Before long, the remote city had been completely transformed. It became the most famous sacred land in the cultivation world, drawing countless cultivators who came to see it for themselves.

Song Jue became famous as the cultivation world's hottest rising star, forging a path of cultivation that was uniquely his own.

A childish, scheming shopkeeper who counts every penny to make ends meet, and is the bottom in the relationship (he wants a certain someone)

A cool, aloof Holy Son with a deadpan face who plays the pig to eat the tiger, and is the top in the relationship (he has enticing muscles)

Upcoming: Saving the Devoted Villain Through an App

Blurb:

Lu Qi had just opened the door to the world of anime when an app for raising villains unexpectedly appeared in his recommendations.

The villains in the app had both adorable chibi designs, with big eyes and round faces, and striking full-body illustrations, looking sinister, domineering, and wildly arrogant. One glance was all it took for him to fall in love with them.

It was strange, though. These villains all seemed to be wearing immortal robes, and they looked so vivid and lifelike, as if they were officials from the heavens.

Lu Qi wasn't put off. If anything, he was even more excited.

"Each villain is either a peerless sect master, arrogant and obsessed with his own will, or an immortal who plays at controlling the mortal world and cultivates the ruthless path, or perhaps an obscure little werewolf deep in the mountains..."

"They may seem to have achieved great feats and transcended the six realms, but each has a tragic past. Some are still worse than dead, imprisoned in the Dragon Prison."

"Would you be willing to become a savior, rescue them, and set them on a new path?"

Lu Qi immediately clicked yes. How could such an adorable little darling be allowed to suffer any more?!

He spent six figures in one night, all so his little dumpling could reach the peak.

Oh, my adorable little darling, how you've got me wrapped around your finger~

After transmigrating, Lu Qi got his wish and became an insignificant... uh... cannon-fodder subordinate of Cheng Jie.

He had just seen the very Cheng Jie who used to flirt with him on the screen and beg to be petted. Now Cheng Jie was violent and vicious, had imprisoned the protagonists, and was about to sacrifice them to the heavens.

Lu Qi was deeply shocked: So the villain darling I'd been feeding has two sides? Even cuter now.

"Who are you, you insignificant wretch?"

The icy words froze him in place. The voice was utterly devoid of warmth, completely merciless.

But Lu Qi paid no heed. Instead, his eyes lit up, and, under the stunned gaze of the other cultivators, he walked right up to Cheng Jie, rose onto his toes, pinched his cheek, and scolded him without the slightest hesitation:

"Darling, your skin's getting rough again. Have you been skipping the Nine Profound True Spring I told you to drink every day?"

Cheng Jie was stunned.

The cultivators were dumbfounded.

Only Lu Qi continued to marvel: The real thing feels so much better.
