Fellow Daoist, Time to Pay Back Your Loan

In his previous life, Shen Du died suddenly at his desk. When he opened his eyes, he had become the lowest-ranking outsourced debt collector at the Myriad Treasures Bank in the cultivation world: no permanent position, a monthly salary barely enough to cover the rent for spiritual qi, and daily visits to cultivators to collect their “Dao” debts. He has a pair of strange eyes. One glance at a person makes a balance sheet appear above their head, showing the value of their spiritual roots, the weight of their debts, and which ledger conceals bad accounts. Others cultivate through their spiritual roots; he cultivates through risk management. Collecting bad debts, picking up seized assets, and restructuring bankrupt sects, he works his way from debt collector to chief accountant of the immortal sects. But as he crunches the numbers, he discovers that the biggest bad account in the cultivation world points to the two words everyone believes in without question: ascension. As it turns out, ascension does not mean becoming an immortal. It means having one line quietly crossed off the great ledger in heaven. An outsourced debt collector plans to settle this old account with Heaven.
