Between Two Heavens [Progression | Cultivation | Isekai-Twist]

Shen Wei is a twenty-two-year-old orphan working as a junior lab technician at Clearsky Pharmaceuticals in Yongcheng, the a megacity of Tianji—a modern cultivation world where spiritual energy has been industrialized and nearly depleted. With Grade C spiritual roots and a cultivation stuck at Qi Condensation Stage 3 for over two years, he has no realistic path to advancement. His only distinction is an unusually deep knowledge of cultivation theory, which he studies obsessively despite having no means to apply it. During a routine late-shift inventory of old project materials, Shen Wei discovers a jade pendant classified as an inert artifact. Despite showing no response to instruments, the pendant is warm to his touch and reacts faintly when he channels Qi into it. He pockets it. Unbeknownst to him, that single action will change the course of his life. Release Schedule: 5-7x chapters a week.
