When a cynical tax accountant transmigrates into the body of Lu Xia, a starving seven-year-old girl in a brutal cultivation world, she brings her best asset with her: the Universal Commerce System. As long as she can pay for it, the system can supply anything in the universe-from hot bowls of rice and basic healing salves to legendary divine beast eggs and world-shattering immortal techniques.
There's just one massive, glaring problem. Her new family is dirt poor, her current net worth is zero, and the system doesn't accept credit.
Before she can even figure out how to hustle up her first copper coin, disaster strikes. Her village is raided, and she is kidnapped by a ruthless Demon Cultivator looking for human sacrifices. Forced to use her wits and a handful of stolen junk to buy her survival, she is narrowly rescued by a righteous cultivation sect.
Realizing just how cheap life is in this new world, Lu Xia vows to play the long game. Joining the sect as an unremarkable, low-profile disciple, she begins her ultimate grind. While other disciples spend decades meditating on mountaintops, Lu Xia is busy scavenging, trading, and turning every piece of scrap metal, monster hide, and spirit stone into System Points.
She doesn't want to be a hero, and she definitely doesn't care about saving the world. She just wants to be rich, safe, and immortal. But when you have a limitless cosmic vending machine in your head, keeping a low profile is much easier said than done.
