Spend All My Family's Wealth to Buy a Path to Heaven

Chu Yuan, the young heir to the Great Qian Dynasty's foremost merchant guild, was born with stone bones and was destined to have no future in martial arts. But the royal family coveted the guild's wealth, and his clan was facing an imminent crisis.

To find a powerful patron, Chu Yuan scattered spirit stones across the sky to fake a celestial omen, then paired it with peerless fine wine. Against all odds, he tricked the first Sword Venerable of the Cloudveil Sect into accepting him as a disciple.

He thought he could go on being a spoiled young master who threw his weight around. But when his lie was exposed, his furious master tossed him into the forbidden grounds behind the mountain, and he found himself bound to a shocking duel to the death with a prince one year later.

"If I lack talent, then I'll use money to forge a path to Heaven the likes of which has never existed in all the ages!"
