Author's Note: 14 October 2024 Sorry for the hiatus. Just finished the 47th chapter of my unreleased new story.. It's actually quite a lot (by my standards), since the new fic has chapters more than 2x the length of Virtuous Cultivation chapters. So in a sense, I guess I've sort of worked on about 100 chapters by VC standards. But the path to 100 stockpiled chapters is still a long way away.If you'd like to see the new novel early, you can check it out by joining my discord. It a prequel that takes place several thousand years before the events of VC and has connections to the Sect Master's backstory that will reveal itself in time.https://discord.com/invite/kuhVNcK The path of cultivation is often portrayed as one stained by bloodshed. But is that truly necessary? Heaven is merciful, after all. On a rather ordinary day, a peasant girl was whisked away by a strange old man. In a hall of great white jade, she was offered the chance to cultivate. ...too bad she's as lazy as a sloth. Slice of life Xianxia with fairly little action in early chapters, more focused on comedy.
