Lin Feng was a king of the corporate world, a mergers & acquisitions titan who saw people as assets and relationships as transactions. After an untimely end, he expected oblivion, not a second chance in a modern cultivation world where spiritual energy is the new currency. Trapped in a failing family teahouse and bound by a "Karma & Capital Ascension System," he faces a brutal ultimatum: profit or perish.
But this System has a double-entry ledger. To gain power, he must increase his Capital through a ruthless business strategy. To stabilize his soul, he must grow his Karma through genuine personal growth. Can a heartless businessman cultivate a heart strong enough to achieve godhood? From turning a dusty shop into a spiritual franchise to waging corporate war on ancient sects, Lin Feng will learn that the most hostile takeover of all is the one against his own nature.
