My Fellow Daoist and I Are in It for the Long Haul

This novel will enter VIP status on March 11, with ten thousand words released that day. Thank you all for your support! "Mwah!"

When Shi Jin first transmigrated, she wound up in the imperial palace and thought she had entered a palace intrigue novel.

When a consort taught her an internal cultivation technique, she thought it was a martial arts novel.

After she obtained a perfectly round golden core, she finally realized: this was a cultivation novel!

But when she saw a monster with an insect's head, a human body, and octopus legs, she couldn't hold back and spat out: “What the hell, that's way too ridiculous!”

The very unsettling monster, which claimed to be an immortal, pinched one of its suckers and made a prediction: “Little sister, your talent is mediocre. You'll never reach the Great Dao.”

Shi Jin looked within at the Longevity Golden Core in her dantian. “No matter. Have you ever heard the saying, ‘Live long enough and you'll see everything’?”

So, when a great demon's curse trapped her on a mountaintop, she simply turned around, decided to lie flat, and started playing with mud, building a Five-Finger Mountain.

Two hundred years later, the great demon who had cursed Shi Jin in the first place finally lived out its lifespan, and the curse on her dissipated with it.

What Shi Jin hadn't expected was just how much time could change things.

The little beggar she'd once saved became the founding emperor. The frail junior sister from her sect became its leader and honored master. Even the puppy she'd picked up back then cultivated into a great demon...

See? She'd said that if you lived long enough, you'd see everything.

1. Eldritch cultivation, boundless magic

2. No one can outlive the female lead, so there's no romance

3. Updated daily. If anything comes up, I'll post a notice in advance

My next novel will probably be I Outwork the Chosen One. If you're interested, please add it to your reading list! Here's the blurb:

Jiang Yanling transmigrated into a power fantasy novel about a chosen one.

In the story, she was the chosen one's first love, his master, and the wicked woman who bullied, humiliated, and deceived him. Later, dissatisfied with his poor cultivation progress, she sent him off to be sacrificed to the heavens. On the day of the sacrifice, he severed all emotional ties and killed her with a single sword strike, then ascended all the way to immortality.

Jiang Yanling, who had just transmigrated into the book: “...”

Isn't she just a walking experience point?

Just as she was thinking of running away, she happened to stumble upon the scene where the male lead was publicly humiliated for the first time. As he was about to deliver his destined line and embark on his predetermined fate, Jiang Yanling suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

This kind of bomb that could go off at any moment was better off under her control!

And so, Meng Xingwei became Jiang Yanling's first disciple.

Facing her puppy-eyed disciple, Jiang Yanling did her best to act like an aloof beauty: “From now on, you'll have to take the trials I set for you every month. Fail once, and I'll expel you from the sect.”

Meng Xingwei gritted his teeth and nodded. Jiang Yanling prepared for action.

In the first month, Jiang Yanling taught halfheartedly, while Meng Xingwei studied earnestly.

Then he passed the first test.

In the second month, Jiang Yanling didn't teach him at all, so Meng Xingwei studied on his own.

Then he passed the second test.

In the third month, Jiang Yanling realized she had to change her teaching methods.

She started teaching nonsense.

He asked questions, and she answered with empty words: “Well, basically, the secrets of heaven are, you know, I mean, you just... do you get it?”

He cultivated, and she gave him a pirated book: “I found this, The Overbearing Immortal Venerable: Ascending and Shattering the Firmament, in a secret realm. Take it.”

He studied, and she disrupted him: “Stop studying. Come on, let's go shopping.”

After all that, his cultivation level soared.

Jiang Yanling: “...?”

After countless trials, both Jiang Yanling and Meng Xingwei looked haggard.

Jiang Yanling felt she was suffering terribly. The chosen one's talent was just too strong. She had to teach nonsense during the day, prepare lesson plans at noon, and secretly cultivate at night to make sure she stayed stronger than him.

Meng Xingwei felt he was suffering terribly. His master's teachings were too profound, and he couldn't understand them at all. He had to attend lessons during the day, catch up at noon, and cultivate diligently at night.

During class, they both sighed, then finally made up their minds.

Meng Xingwei: For Master's sake, I have to work even harder!

Jiang Yanling: Maybe I should just let him stab me to death with his sword.

Theme: One must be careful in life.
