Can't Cultivate Immortality Without a Serious Illness?

A cultivator must defy the heavens.

At the age of seven, Zhou Xun believed that one day he would embark on the path to immortality.

He cultivated tirelessly, studied ancient texts, and tried every method he could think of, yet he never managed to get started.

Then, at seventeen, a sudden high fever finally opened the door to cultivation for him.

The doctor said:

"It's the flu."

But Zhou Xun thought:

"It's spiritual energy entering my body, tempering it and cleansing my marrow."

And what about the fever medicine?

"That's a forbidden poison that will destroy a cultivator's Dao foundation."
