I'm Not a Pill God

Immortality is hard to attain, and the path of cultivation has always been fraught with danger.

Especially in this world, where the spiritual ley lines have been severed.

With resources so scarce,

any pill unearthed from a tomb can unleash a storm of bloodshed.

That is, until a new tomb appeared, packed with Essence Pills, Foundation-Building Pills, Life-Restoring Pills…

What? You’re asking how new it is?

That’s a strange thing to focus on…

Well, the Foundation-Building Pills were still warm from the furnace when they were unearthed.

…

…Immortal cultivator,

I’m begging you, can you please stop investigating this batch of burial pills?

I’ve spent three years refining my qi.

I’ve used up all my money on pills and spirit stones, and my cultivation partner is worn out from supporting me.

At long last, I got my hands on pills from a Shang-Zhou tomb,

and you people insist they’re from last week.

We’d know if those pills were from last week, wouldn’t we?

That alchemist didn’t even make a profit!

Who doesn’t run into someone with mediocre talent now and then?

Can you guarantee you’ll never hit a bottleneck in your whole life?

I just want to cultivate in peace. Is that too much to ask?
