A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting with a Spirit Herb

Lin Mo is a collateral-branch son of the Lin family. With a four-element mixed spirit root and an utterly mediocre aptitude for cultivation, he is regarded by his clan as a good-for-nothing.

After his father dies from years of overwork, his cousin from the main branch abuses his Foundation Establishment cultivation to seize the three mu of spirit farmland his father spent his life managing, driving Lin Mo to the brink. At this desperate moment, a mysterious jade pendant among his father's belongings, dusty for years, suddenly awakens. It can analyze the origins of all things: spirit herbs, pill recipes, cultivation methods, formations, and demonic beast bloodlines are all laid bare before it.

With its help, Lin Mo grows a century-old spirit herb in the ruined fields and trades it for the main ingredient of a Foundation Establishment Pill. Thus begins his path to immortality.

But the cultivation world is ruled by the strong preying on the weak. Rogue cultivators are ants, sects are tigers and wolves, and cultivators who rob others are jackals. A single spirit herb may be a lucky break, but it may also bring death. Lin Mo can only proceed cautiously, conceal his abilities, and patiently endure if he hopes to find a sliver of a chance at immortality amid bloodshed.

How can a rogue cultivator with a mixed spirit root, relying on a mysterious jade pendant, start out as a spirit farmer and gradually reach the pinnacle in a cultivation world full of deceit and treachery?
