Mortal Cultivation: The Traveling Frog

A Mortal's Journey fanfiction. Expecting to be a cultivation failure, Bai Chen never imagined his spiritual pet would be far more reliable than he is. As a disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect who spent three years weeding the medicine garden, his first thought upon receiving a Foundation Establishment Pill was simply how many spiritual stones it could fetch. Then, his spiritual frog—missing for three years—suddenly returns home, bringing back a storage bag loaded with heavenly treasures. With spiritual herbs in endless supply, top-tier cultivation techniques handed over for free, and even a Grade-4 flood dragon corpse tossed in as a souvenir, Bai Chen embarks on an absurd path of cultivation. While others struggle in bitter seclusion, he pops Foundation Establishment Pills like jellybeans and practices the supreme Azure Essence Sword Formula as if it were morning calisthenics. While others battle bottlenecks, he rockets to the peak of Foundation Establishment simply through a regimen of leftover medicinal residue. Most outrageously of all, that frog is still wandering out in the world—who knows what kind of "local specialties" it will bring back next time it comes home? A loser's counterattack? No, this is a spiritual pet poverty-alleviation program.
