I Started Cultivating at Forty and Stole the Younger Generation’s Golden Fingers

Chen Wen was a ninth-rank martial grandmaster. He had thought he already stood at the summit of this world. Then, one day, three figures appeared, hovering in midair. Only then did he learn that immortals really existed. At the age of forty, he was tested and found to have four pseudo-spiritual roots. The immortal gave him one chance: if he reached the middle stage of Qi Refining before the age of fifty, he could join the Qinglan Sect. If he failed, his path to immortality would be closed for the rest of his life. At Baiya Market, rogue cultivators made their homes. He had thought his hopes of immortal cultivation were gone, until he accidentally encountered an ordinary man who possessed a priceless treasure. A disguise, poison, one fatal strike, then a body burned to ashes. The mysterious bronze mirror that could turn worthless talismans into genuine ones changed hands. With this priceless treasure, Chen Wen advanced step by step through Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul... His journey seemed smooth, but he planned carefully at every turn. Only he knew the truth. For a mortal seeking immortality, all that matters is staying cautious.
