Cultivating Immortality with Zero Luck
A ninth-grade, bottom-tier Icebound Waste Spirit Root. His Qi Sea is frozen, and he can't store a wisp of spiritual energy for a hundred years.
From the moment Ling Ye's spirit root was tested at age eight, he was sentenced to a life without a path to immortality.
He joined the most ridiculous sect in the entire cultivation world, the Azure Remnant Sect.
The sect master spends his days fishing, the elders lie flat and wait out their lives, and everyone has given up and is waiting to die.
No one in the sect cultivates, no one competes, and everyone laughs at him for being stupid:
Training with a trash spirit root? He must be out of his mind.
But no one knew that, at seventeen, in the depths of a devastating drought, he was on the brink of death when he heard a Heavenly Sect Grandmaster's three words of wisdom:
Hide, grind, and be ruthless.
People grind for spirit roots, cultivation methods, opportunities, and their sect's foundations.
But Ling Ye has no luck, no blessings, no backers, and no talent.
He doesn't compete over outside advantages. He pushes only himself.
He conceals his edge in the dust, stands at just five foot three, and spends his days hunched over, keeping a low profile among the lowest of the low.
He pushes himself to the limit day and night. Without spiritual energy, he trains his body, practicing a thousand sword strikes and reviewing them ten thousand times, grinding away through sheer effort.
He is ruthless when life and death are at stake. He roots out his enemies completely and is brutally hard on himself. If he survives a desperate situation, he comes back stronger.
This is a brutal cultivation story of zero luck, zero golden fingers, and zero opportunities...
