The Top Exam Taker of Penglai Turns Out to Be an Unknown in the Immortal Realm

The road to immortality is long, and sooner or later, the rat race will wear you down!

(Traditional cultivation, leveling up and fighting monsters, putting scumbags in their place, two powerful leads, no transmigration, no System)

For ten years in the mortal world, Jiang Li endured cold stares. Her parents died young, she lived under someone else’s roof, and no one truly cared for her. She learned to keep her feelings to herself.

Then she met an immortal from Penglai Island. Taken back to the island, she began her path of cultivation.

While others cultivated, she studied pills. While they leveled up, she studied talismans. While they went on trials, she taught herself artifact forging. Anything related to cultivation could wait as far as she was concerned.

Everyone thought she was a hopeless case, until her sect came under attack and she stepped forward.

It turned out she excelled at both alchemy and talisman-making, and had a knack for forging artifacts. Her path was woven into everyday life: she cultivated everywhere, and was second to none.

She might have seemed to neglect her proper studies, but every night she meditated until dawn, constantly improving her cultivation.

Penglai disciples: “Senior Sister Jiang really is the ultimate grinder. She cultivates and hones her skills at the same time!”

People of the cultivation world: “Penglai really is full of talented people!”

Jiang Li: “I refuse to join the rat race. You do your thing. I just want to cultivate at my own pace!”

Her senior sect members: “As if we’d believe that! When did you manage to form your Golden Core?”
