If I Don't Close the Net Soon, I'll Become a Sword Immortal!

In modern society, cultivators are divided into ranks and classes.

Sword cultivators reign supreme, true elites above the common folk;

Spell cultivators earn high salaries, body cultivators find jobs easily, and alchemy cultivators enjoy iron rice bowls... But with their legacy lost, talisman cultivators have fallen to the very bottom.

Ling Ye, who has spent ten years drawing fake talismans, is suddenly arrested.

To survive, he has no choice but to cooperate with the authorities, pose as a sword cultivator, and go undercover.

Then a "Draw Talismans to Get Stronger" System appears, and a strange rumor spreads through the cultivation world:

That kid's the sneakiest. He walks around with a busted iron sword wrapped in talismans, insisting it's a sealed sword.

In reality, every time he swings it, he burns through dozens of spirit talismans to brute-force the damage.

Later, he doesn't even bother pretending, claiming that the highest realm of sword cultivation is to use no sword at all, and that a sword-summoning talisman counts as a sword.

He raises two fingers and draws hundreds of talismans in midair, summoning a swarm of flying swords to blast his opponents, then claims it's the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect.

Those who don't understand talismans are terrified, thinking he's a sword immortal descended into the world.

Those who do understand them are even more terrified. Who uses such precious spirit talismans as basic attacks? Is he running a wholesale business?!

Gradually, the cultivation world reaches a consensus:

You can be 99% certain that Ling Ye isn't a sword cultivator, but you absolutely wouldn't dare bet on that 1%.

Years later, when the great sects unite to oppose his appointment as an Immortal Lord of the Sword Dao Sequence, Ling Ye wears a helpless expression.

If I don't close this operation soon, I'm really going to become a sword immortal!
