This Scheming Cultivator

When your family is slaughtered and every major clan wants you dead, survival demands more than strength—it demands cunning. Born with crippled spiritual roots and stuck at Qi Refining, he shouldn't stand a chance. Yet through ruthless schemes and calculated manipulation, he infiltrates top sects, outwits Core Formation masters, and dismantles powerful enemies from within. No talent? He compensates with strategy. No resources? He'll make you beg to hand them over. In a cultivation world built on betrayal, being called ruthless isn't an insult—it's a survival skill.
