Cultivation: Starting with Careful Budgeting

Chen Fan is sent by his master to descend from the Immortal Realm and take on disciples.

Poor children learn to fend for themselves early, and he leads every one of his disciples astray. (Movie: Successor)

He comes up with a painstakingly budget-conscious training plan.

But then, despite being a Golden Immortal, he awakens a Qi Refining System that’s years overdue.

The more his disciples spend, the more they save, and the better the rewards.

So he’s left constantly swinging between lavish generosity and careful penny-pinching.
