Honest Cultivation Is Pretty Boring, Meow

The cat he raised gave Zhou Li a chance at immortality, and the gates of the cultivation world swung open before him.

But the world had changed beyond recognition: immortals, gods, demons, and monsters roamed the cities; cultivation manuals were shared through cloud drives; and even alchemy meant risking complaints about cooking fumes from the neighbors downstairs...

Years later, at a hearing held by the Youchang Bureau, Zhou Li answered his critics with conviction.

“What do you mean, spoiling monsters? My cat is about to ascend to immortality. What’s wrong with it eating a few of your fish?”

“You can accuse me of trafficking in monster materials, but what does desecrating a Taoist temple have to do with me? I was just living off someone else, fair and square!”

“This is nothing but an utter fabrication, a vile attempt to sully my good name...”

A friendly reminder from the Youchang Bureau of Cultivation Affairs

The immortals and Buddhas on your phone are either cosplayers or AI. Please use caution when identifying them.

A sincere suggestion for all you monster cultivators: If you can’t afford food, apply for assistance at the Youchang Bureau. Don’t go mooching at the zoo!
