They Called Me Bait, I Became a Cultivator

Yi Shuyuan, a struggling modern storyteller, found his life hitting rock bottom when he plunged into a mystical river. He resurfaced only to be dragged ashore by ruthless bandits, destined to be bait for a monstrous snow python. They called him a useless \"fool,\" oblivious to the power stirring within. But falling into the frigid depths had awakened something. Hazy streams of light, forgotten memories, and an uncanny intuition now guide his every move. He wasn't a fool; he was sensing the true nature of this world—a world of qi, monsters, and hidden martial arts. Trapped with killers and a mythical beast closing in, Yi Shuyuan must manipulate his captors and navigate this deadly new reality, all while pretending to be the idiot they believe him to be. Can a modern storyteller survive, let alone thrive, when his every word could reveal his true, dangerous power?
