Immortal Sovereign’s Livestream: Getting Rich from a Sect of Beauties

Li Shangyan, a college student from Blue Star, wakes up in the body of a prince within the Xuan Yuan Sect, a cultivation world where strength determines fate. The original host had died attempting a risky breakthrough after failing to reach the Qi Refining stage in a year. Li Shangyan discovers he possesses a one-cubic-meter storage space within his brain and has inadvertently broken through to the first layer of Qi Refining. He realizes he can travel between the two worlds by sleeping, allowing him to exploit the vast price difference between gold and silver in the cultivation world and modern Earth. After cashing out ten gold bars for over three million yuan, he returns to the cultivation world for the outer disciple assessment.

During the assessment, Li Shangyan reveals he is a Five Elements Perfectionist, a rare trait where spiritual energy contains all five elemental attributes. While this makes him theoretically invincible at his current stage, the Sect Elders deem him a mediocre talent because his cultivation speed is exponentially slower and resource consumption is sixteen times higher than single-attribute geniuses. Rejected by all seven major peaks due to resource scarcity, the Sect Leader assigns him to Ziyang Peak, the main lineage, where he is placed under the guidance of Elder Ye Ziyuan. He learns that jade in the modern world is actually high-grade Spirit Stone in the cultivation world, containing tens of thousands of times more spiritual energy than the low-grade stones issued by the Sect.

Li Shangyan begins purchasing large quantities of jade from a jewelry store, planning to sell them in the cultivation world to fund his expensive cultivation. He also establishes a trade route by selling low-grade Spirit Stones for gold on Earth, where gold is considered worthless currency. His rival, Yu Hua, a prince from the same mortal dynasty who holds a grudge against him, attempts to sabotage Li Shangyan but fails. Li Shangyan encounters Ye Ziyuan, a peerless beauty who tests his endurance by making him stay in her dangerous Purple Garden for a full day. Meanwhile, he befriends Su Dekuai, an inner disciple who helps him understand the Sect's contribution point system.

The story follows Li Shangyan as he navigates the hierarchical politics of Xuan Yuan Sect while building a dual-world empire. He uses his modern wealth to acquire resources that would be inaccessible to ordinary disciples, aiming to overcome the handicap of his Five Elements Perfection. His journey involves mastering cultivation techniques, dealing with jealous rivals like Yu Hua, and managing his business operations between the mundane world and the dangerous cultivation realm. The narrative sets the stage for his rise from a despised outer disciple to a powerful figure, leveraging his unique position as a cross-dimensional trader to accumulate strength and influence.
