Cultivation Techniques Are Too Cutthroat. I Wanted to Lie Flat, but I Became an Immortal

[Xianxia Fantasy] + [Slacker] + [Lighthearted Comedy] + [System] + [Lie Flat]

“What’s the point of cultivating immortality? Isn’t it better to sleep until I wake up naturally every day and collect my family dividends in peace?”

In his previous life, he was an overworked office drone who died from working 996. After transmigrating as a good-for-nothing with a mixed spiritual root, he was overjoyed and decided to lie flat for the rest of his life.

He never dreamed that casually flipping through a common low-grade Yellow Rank manual, Sword Drawing Art, would somehow make the cultivation technique sentient!

After the chubby little spirit of the manual inspected his aptitude, it was so humiliated that it snapped, turning into a super workaholic and starting a 24-hour, no-break work schedule!

The entire cultivation world was crushed by the grind:

Peerless prodigies kneel to meditate before dawn, while he naps in a rocking chair, snacking on candied fruit;

The young heir of his sworn enemy risks his life for a few spirit stones, while he feeds birds in the backyard and collects rent on the side;

A branch-family disciple cultivates bitterly for three years to break through one level, while he yawns and the little manual spirit draws his sword ten thousand times overnight, carrying him straight through the Qi Refining stage!

His father ignores all the criticism and shoves a spirit-rice shop at him: “Son, I’ll support you for the rest of your life. Take these hundred thousand spirit stones and spend them however you like!”

His aloof cousin, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, delivers a sword in the middle of the night: “Little brother, I’m giving up on repairing my flying sword. Take all 120 spirit stones!”

He looks helpless: “Dad, Sis, I can’t take any more. Stop stuffing things on me…”

[Ding! Sword Drawing Art is too full and, in a fit of anger, comprehends Sword Aura Projection!]

[Sword Drawing Art is extremely excited, and its cultivation surges by two levels!]

[Sword Drawing Art is so caught up in the grind that it advances to the perfected Heavenly Rank and is now dragging its Host into forced ascension!]

He breaks down completely: “Please, stop grinding! I just want to be a slacker!”
