Starting as a Border Army Banner Captain

After transmigrating overnight, Lu Yi becomes the most miserable seventh-rank captain in the Dazheng frontier army.

To the north, the savage Huntou cavalry is sweeping south. Within the empire, the court is corrupt and incompetent. On his very first day after transmigrating, tens of thousands of enemy troops surround them, and the whole army is routed. Fleeing with a dozen surviving brothers, he is chased into the depths of the mountains, only to stumble upon a ruined temple abandoned for centuries.

Thinking his death is certain, Lu Yi unexpectedly activates his golden finger: the Old Mountain God.

In life, the Old Mountain God was a veteran frontier scout. After death, he became the only wild god within a hundred li. With the incense offerings cut off for three hundred years, his divine soul was about to scatter when Lu Yi accidentally awakened him.

"Kid, from now on, we're both in the same boat!"

From then on, a bad-tempered old soldier who never stops talking takes up residence in Lu Yi's head.

Short on medicine? The Old Mountain God personally teaches him where to gather herbs.

Out of food? The mountains become a natural dining hall.

And when it comes to battle... "Kid, lend me your body. Watch and I'll show you how to take down an enemy with one slash!"

The Huntou cavalry is fearsome? No problem. I've got the Mountain God as my cheat!

Not enough divine power? Build the Mountain God a grand temple, brick by brick, and keep the incense offerings coming!
