Hello, Interested in Mining-Based Cultivation?

Fu Lang was the good-for-nothing fake legitimate daughter of the Sword Sect. After accidentally destroying a magical artifact, she was banished by the sect, then betrayed by her childhood friend and senior brother on the way out. She died on the spot.

Reborn, she watched helplessly as the sect's priceless artifact shattered before her eyes once again.

Fu Lang: ...At this point, I should just run for it!

This time, she struck first and killed her senior brother. Hunted by the Sword Sect, she fled in disarray to a remote mountain range full of mines.

With no one to rely on and penniless, the fastest way to make money here was... working as a miner.

But after digging in the dirt for three days, Fu Lang was dizzy, her back aching and her waist sore.

Fine, this quick money clearly wasn't something she could earn. After one last swing of the pickaxe, she'd do whatever. Selling her sword skills would be more reliable than this.

Facing the unremarkable rock wall, Fu Lang picked up her pickaxe and struck it hard to vent her frustration.

Thunk.

A piece of premium dark iron ore, gleaming with a cold light, fell out.

A voice appeared in her mind: [Ding! First spirit ore mined. System binding successful!]

Fu Lang: ?

[Physique +10, Resonance +5]

[You have entered the First Realm: Body Tempering]

[Next stage goal: Alchemy Realm]

[Fellow Daoist, congratulations on officially embarking on the path of mining cultivation!]

Fu Lang: ?!

Huh? What kind of cultivation?!
