No Money to Cultivate Immortality?How Can You Cultivate Immortality Without Money?

Enlightenment used to mean seclusion in a mist-wreathed cave. In Kunxu City, it means taking out a Mana Loan with 29.9 % karmic interest.

Spirit-root transplants come with payment plans, breathing techniques are locked behind paywalls, and your first meridian won’t open unless you swipe a “QiCard.”

That’s the brutal marketplace Zhang Yu wakes up to after his soul is shoved into the body of a penniless high-schooler—one already drowning in soul-devouring debt.

With only thirty days before the collectors start carving repayments from his flesh, Zhang Yu must monetize every heartbeat just to stay alive.

He livestreams back-alley ­sparring matches, peddles black-market talismans between classes, and negotiates mid-fight sponsorship deals to afford tomorrow’s cultivation pills.

Yet the higher he claws—from broke freshman to headline-making “High-School Saint”—the more he uncovers the engines grinding his classmates into golden dust: predatory fintech sects, exam-hall death matches, and an influencer economy that feeds on shattered dreams.

If you’ve ever felt the squeeze of tuition bills or the rush of a last-second power-up, Zhang Yu’s frantic hustle through monetized immortality will feel all too hilariously—and terrifyingly—familiar.

Original description:

Elder: “Do you seek revenge?”

Young Man: “I've been repeatedly humiliated by powerful cultivators, treated as trash by my Master. How could I not want revenge?”

The Elder patted the Young Man's head and sighed, “Good child, I shall impart cultivation to you."

The Young Man gasped, “Senior! How can this be?”

The Elder extended his hand: “Give me your phone.”

The Young Man watched the changes on his phone, shocked: “Senior! Where did this hundred years of cultivation come from?”

The Elder smiled faintly: “Good child, this is your reserve cultivation from the Heavenly Court. You can draw upon it instantly whenever needed, so you'll never be insulted again.”

The Young Man frowned: “Isn't this... a Mana Loan? I'm afraid”

Elder: “The Heavenly Court is a major platform. New users borrowing 100 years of cultivation get 30 days interest-free, and the daily interest is as low as half a day's cultivation—less than a full cycle of your meditation!”

...

Zhang Yu snorted coldly and closed the advertisement above. Collapse

    If I ever reincarnate into this world without a system that ensures I can become OP quickly and doesn't have to work too hard, i.e a system similar to "Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws" I'm offing myself, there is no way in hell I am going from a capitalist society that has some humane people to a capitalist society that doesn't even have one

      They'll fish your soul back to make you pay off your corpse disposal fees. After you're done, your soul will still be corporate property: if you're not exploited for menial work until soul disolution, you'll be refined into an elexir and suffer regardless. Suicide? You should plan for a better escape plan.

        Yeah, i also just read that, but there's a way to bypass that by being disconnected from the spirit realm i think, but I'm not sure, still committing sucide would be a better choice, atleast i won't retain my memories

    This novel is a representation of what will likely happen in our future. Where everything will be controlled by corporations.

      It really is just a cyberpunk dystopia repackaged as xianxia now that I think about it.

    I've never seen a cultivation novel where transgenderism and transhumanism played as large as a role as this one. Which makes it odd, on top of Kunxu being a ruthless place with all sorts of genetic experiments, that dark skinned people are a standout phenomenon.

    Pretty decent at the beginning got very good, now after 480 chapters its relativly stale since the author doesnt realy change up his formula, still overall very good worth a read because of the unique world setting alone even
