An immortal lays a hand upon my head, and binds my hair to grant me eternal life.
An orphan girl, Jiang Yue Bai, climbs nine mountains to reach the clouds, seeking the path to immortality so she can roam the world and stride through the skies.
The road to immortality defies the heavens.
I contend with heaven, earth, others, and myself.
If my senior sister recites ten volumes of scripture a day, I'll study until dawn.
If my senior brother practices his blade a hundred times, I'll train with my spear and return beneath the stars.
If my master spends the whole night refining pills, then I'll keep the furnace burning without pause!
If I can't grind myself down, I'll grind everyone else down, and make the whole cultivation world cry.
[You focus on refining pills. Because you push yourself too hard, the furnace can't take it and explodes. Pill-refining proficiency -1.]
[You bring over an iron pot and continue refining pills. To your surprise, it's easier to control the heat in the pot, and the medicinal ingredients heat more evenly. Pill-refining proficiency +5.]
[Congratulations, your pill-refining skill has leveled up!]

Note: The early chapters include a cultivation status panel with a snarky attribute. It doesn't award points, rewards, or quests, and only appears occasionally. It is dropped later on. If that's not your thing, please don't read. No need to tell me if you drop the book!

If you're reading for free, please have the basic manners of a free reader. Other than praising me, please don't comment!
