Cultivation Is Nothing But Money-Grabbing!

Lian Mu, who had already perfected her Dao in her previous life: Starting over from scratch? What’s so hard about that?

However, it wasn’t until she re-entered the Gui Xian Sect for the second time that she realized—starting over in this world wasn’t just a matter of experience and skill. What she lacked most was money.

As a sword cultivator, she was so poor that she couldn’t even afford a sword. Worse yet, after reconstructing her body with three spiritual roots, her dantian was damaged, and her body was in terrible condition. She needed specialized alchemists and artifact forgers to help her recover—both of which required a massive amount of money.

In order to continue cultivating while spending as little as possible, she had no choice but to switch professions in secret. She simply taught herself alchemy and artifact forging, becoming entirely self-sufficient.

At first, everyone had this impression of Lian Mu—

Elders: “This sword cultivator disciple is neglecting her proper path and lazing around all day. Truly infuriating.”

Sword cultivator senior brothers: “This three-spiritual-root cultivator is absolutely useless. What can she even do? She’s not even worth taking in as a body cultivator!”

Alchemists: “Can someone tell me why she’s slacking off yet keeps running to our Yinxiang Peak?”

Artifact forgers: “So it’s not just our peak suffering—now I feel better.”

But later—during the Grand Sect Tournament, when high-level demonic beasts went on a rampage, catching the various sects off guard and throwing everyone into chaos—

A single sword cultivator from Gui Xian Sect flew out on a broom with a “whoosh,” talismans in her left hand, a sword in her right, and stomped several demonic beasts to death with just a few kicks.

Everyone: “???”

During another sect tournament, Lian Mu once again found herself alone, isolated with no allies.

The others: She’s finally going to be eliminated this time, right?

Then, they watched in stunned silence as she pulled out a top-grade alchemy furnace and a forging platform, casually refined high-tier pills, and effortlessly repaired top-level spiritual weapons.

The four great sects were shaken: What exactly is this person’s profession!?

When Lian Mu walked out, she spread her hands helplessly and said, “Sorry, I was too poor, so I had to learn a little bit of everything. Even though I can refine pills and forge artifacts, I am still a firm sword cultivator.”

Everyone: “……”

It turned out that some people’s three spiritual roots weren’t just ordinary three spiritual roots but a perfect fusion of three heavenly spiritual roots.
