The Passerby's Guide to Cultivation Survival

Transmigrated into a cultivation world where the protagonist already exists—and I'm just background fodder destined to die! My survival strategy? Hide my true power, avoid clichéd villain moves, and never monologue. I'll cultivate to Nascent Soul but pretend I'm Golden Core. I'll use Foundation Establishment gear to crush Qi Refining mobs. Take only trash loot from dungeons, leave the OP artifacts alone, and eliminate enemies so thoroughly they can't come back for revenge. When the protagonist tries to face-slap me? I'll smile and walk away. This passerby refuses to be cannon fodder!
