I Began by Butchering Fish and Proved the Way to Immortality

After transmigrating to the world of cultivation, Chen Anqing spent ten years as the lowest-ranking fish butcher in the West Market and wound up buried under a mountain of “longevity loans.” Then one day, as he butchered a grass carp, a screen of light suddenly appeared before his eyes: 【Effective kill detected: Grass carp (mortal creature)】 【Extracting vitality...】 【Extraction complete. Vitality gained: 0.01】 【System function: Kill living creatures to plunder their vitality. The amount gained depends on the creature’s strength and how it is killed.】 From then on, his whole story took a different turn: Others fought to the death for treasures in secret realms, while he killed chickens and geese, steadily building his vitality; Others secluded themselves to cultivate, racing against time, while he pulled weeds and hoed the garden in his backyard, watching his cultivation steadily rise; Others risked their lives for a single demon core, while he faced demonic beasts, swung his blade, and collected one walking bundle of experience after another. From butchering fish and pulling weeds to slaying cultivators, everything became the nourishment that carried him along the Great Dao. Many years later, in the perilous Immortal Realm, Chen Anqing had attained carefree immortality. Standing at his fish stall in the West Market, he sighed, “I only butchered a fish. How did I end up paving the road to invincibility...?”
