Old Demon Qian

"At twenty-two, I possessed another man's body, earned my first fortune, and reached the eighth layer of Qi Refining."

"At twenty-eight, I seized mermen and pearl maidens, took mistresses and ghostly pets, competed for the top courtesan, and founded the Spring Breeze Pavilion. I made a fortune from fleshly pleasures and mastered the wondrous art of Clouds Above."

"At seventy, my intelligence network, the Fragrant Pavilion, and my assassin hall, Shadow, had become forces to be reckoned with. I controlled smuggling routes, amassed a windfall, and forged the Zixiao flying sword for thirty thousand spirit stones."

"At one hundred and forty, I entered the immortal sect business, traded in lifespans, swallowed up immortal markets, and made my fortune through clever dealings. With three hundred thousand spirit stones, I forcefully broke into the Golden Core stage."

Now I am one hundred and eighty, and I hereby issue a bounty at Spirit Sword Mountain.

"My name is Chen Feng: Chen as in Chen Ergou, Feng as in maple leaves. I have formed a Golden Core. Anyone who can help me reach the Nascent Soul stage will be paid three million spirit stones. Anyone who can help me survive the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation will be paid five million. Anyone who can provide me with an unparalleled cultivation method will be paid eight million. There is no limit on numbers; the more, the merrier."

This is a semi-lord story about making money, cultivating, finding talented people, making more money, and cultivating again.
