The Path to Immortality: I Can Hear My Heart

This is an extremely involutional world of immortality. The sects are strict and the monopoly of resources is serious. The monks at the lower level can fight for hundreds of years to fight for a foundation-building pill, while the higher-ups regard ordinary people as nothing. This is a cruel world of "cannibalism", where people's hearts are more sinister than monsters. The protagonist Su Changqing, as a humble sweeper in the Qingyun Sect's Sutra Pavilion, is always facing the existential crisis of being exploited by the stewards and bullied by the outside disciples. His only reliance is the ability to see through other people's disguises and hear their truest desires and fears.
