Immortal Cultivation for Eternal Life: Starting with the Jade Spirit Pearl

One stroke of good fortune changed everything: Xu Ze discovered that he had become a fisherman in Qingyun Market, as well as its notorious “King of the Empty Net.” He had a low-grade spiritual root and mediocre talent. After seven years of hard cultivation, he had reached only the second level of Qi Refining. To make matters worse, a female cultivator of a higher realm coveted his “untouched body” and wanted to force herself on him, destroying his spiritual foundation. Despondent, Xu Ze thought his cultivation career would end in gloom, with nothing left but the cry, “Never look down on a poor middle-aged man.” But then he awakened an equipment slot. [Equipment: Jade Spirit Pearl] [Ability acquired: Child of Water] [Effect: Become one with the water. When submerged, stamina consumption is cut in half, the noise you make is greatly reduced, eyesight improves so you can see underwater without obstruction, and perception is greatly enhanced.] [Equipment: Heart-Nourishing Jade] [Ability acquired: Clarity] [Effect: Activating this ability puts you in a state of “Clarity,” greatly increasing the efficiency with which your spiritual root converts the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.] [...] And so, Qingyun Market lost its King of the Empty Net and gained a cautious fisherman. While others ventured into secret realms to fight over strange encounters, he went fishing for spirit fish. While others fought over fortunes and opportunities, he saved up spirit stones. Many years later, after the seas had turned to mulberry fields, the cultivation world finally produced an Immortal Venerable who had achieved immortality. Hearing the well-known legend, Xu Ze couldn’t help but sigh. “My whole life, I’ve walked on thin ice, and at last I made it to the other shore. I did it by being good at everything!”
