Venerable Immortal Qi, Who Outplayed Heaven by Half a Move

Qi Tong earned his immortal register by passing the Spring and Autumn Immortal Manor's examination. But after rejecting a female cultivator two hundred years his senior, he was persecuted by her father, a Golden Core cultivator serving as a manor deputy prefect, and exiled to a remote little city to work as a petty official. He firmly believed that skill and hard work would earn him a promotion. Yet despite accomplishing countless deeds, great and small, he remained stuck in place for thirty years without advancing an inch. That was until he risked his life to hunt down evil cultivators and took three sword strikes, nearly dying in the process... Qi Tong, whose soul had crossed over, awakens the [Dao Fruit of Truth] and can hear other people's inner thoughts.
