The Reborn Junior Sister Becomes the Ultimate Overachiever in the Cultivation World

Lu Xiaojing spent thirteen years as a beggar before accidentally discovering that she was actually a girl. But she had no sense of herself as a girl. In hopes of obtaining a spiritual root, she braved Wish Mountain alone and traded away her looks for a counterfeit spiritual root. Others entered the world of cultivation to attain the Dao and become immortals. She joined a sect and began cultivating so she would stop getting beaten up and, while she was at it, earn a little money for her old age. And so... When her fellow disciples asked her for help, she said, “Romance gives me a headache. Pay me, and I’ll get things done.” When her master offered her a reward, she said, “I want a plot of land.” She could grow spirit herbs and trade them for spirit stones. When a suitor pursued her, she said, “Two mouths to feed cost too much. I like eating my fill without having to worry about anyone else.” - Lu Xiaojing wasn’t greedy. She just wanted to make a little money at her own easygoing pace, so she could feel secure. But she was caught up in a world where everyone was pushing themselves, and she had no choice but to do the same. When her fellow disciples saw she had a counterfeit spiritual root, they all shook their heads. “A counterfeit spiritual root is no better than a useless one. She probably won’t establish her foundation in her entire lifetime.” A few months later, she refined a Spirit Tempering Pill. After taking it, the purity of her spiritual root rivaled that of a celestial-grade root. She just kept pushing herself, and before she knew it, she had reached the Nascent Soul Realm. As the saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind. She was framed by a villain and forced to leave her sect. Once pushing yourself becomes a habit, even slacking off feels shameful. And so... She founded her own sect, became its leader, and took in disciples to strengthen it. When an old friend came to her door seeking refuge, she treated them just like everyone else and said, “Same rule as always: pay first, then I’ll take care of things.”
