Lin Mo transmigrates into the world of immortal cultivation as a collateral relative of the Lin family of Zhongzhou.
A mixed spirit root with four attributes, he cultivates at only thirty percent of the speed of a Heavenly Spirit Root.
His legitimate cousin breaks three of his ribs. His betrothed publicly calls off their engagement. His family exiles him to guard spirit rice in the most barren spirit field...
That is the full extent of the gifts he receives for his sixteenth birthday.
Just as he's overcome by despair, a line of small text appears before his eyes:
Withered Spirit Rice · Rank 1 Low-Grade Spirit Herb · 3% Spiritual Energy Remaining · Hidden Trait: Earth Vein Spirit Seed. Its roots reach a forgotten node of a low-grade spirit vein.
Lin Mo freezes.
He looks down at the rusty woodcutter's knife in his hand:
Plain Iron Woodcutter's Knife · Mundane Weapon · Sharpness 2 · Hidden Trait: Can be tempered with spirit stones and baleful energy, with a chance to advance into a magic weapon.
Then he looks toward his cousin Lin Tianba, approaching from a distance:
Lin Tianba · Ninth Level of Qi Refining · Mixed Gold, Water, Earth, and Fire Spirit Roots · Hidden Trait: Nascent Inner Demon. His left ribs were injured by a demonic beast three years ago, blocking his meridians. He is certain to develop an inner demon when breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
Lin Mo slowly tightens his grip on the knife.
