My Master's Debts Are Mountains High, So I Seek Immortality Through a Hundred Arts

Ye Xuan begged on the streets as a boy before an old man took him in at the Wanfa Sect, where he practiced in peace for ten years.

But then the old man ascended and vanished, leaving behind a thick stack of debt agreements. The enormous debts his master owed fell, for no reason, onto the shoulders of his only remaining disciple.

He is still at the Qi Refining stage, with no backing and no heaven-sent opportunities. But he has read widely across the sect's books and knows the theory behind all sorts of unconventional crafts, from alchemy and talismans to artifact forging. The only thing he lacks is practical experience.

After leaving the mountain sect in the dead of night, he resolves to try any line of work that can earn him spirit stones.

Having been poor and afraid of it since childhood, he keeps a careful eye on every expense. All he wants is to save spirit stones in peace and avoid trouble.

His creditors are watching him like hawks, and danger lurks in the shadows. He doesn't expect to rise to the heavens overnight. Relying on his broad knowledge and many skills, he'll slowly pay off his debts and steadily make his way along the path to immortality. No System, slow-burn management, and a restrained, down-to-earth style.
