Lu Cheng transmigrates to another world, where his System gives him the wrong kind of cheat. He cannot cultivate, but he excels at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea. He opens a little general store, hoping only to support his family and live a quiet, stable life in a high-martial world. He is just trying to make an honest living, but one day, martial artists start flocking to his shop, each calling him Senior or Venerable. They fight fiercely over a wooden statue, nearly starting the fourth martial artists' war. Terrified, Lu Cheng rushes to the storeroom and brings out three statues to stop the fighting.
The Journey to the West he translated to pass the time becomes a sacred text for the demon race, and they revere him as a sage. One top demon after another willingly comes to his general store: the Howling Sky Divine Wolf serves as his guard dog, while the Red-Scaled Dragon King takes the form of a koi and swims in the pond. A group of sage elders, whose martial arts have reached the transcendent heights of sainthood, try every way they can to spy on him, hoping to glimpse more of the Heavenly Dao in his every move. The imperial princess, the demon sect's holy maiden, and the sacred land's celestial maiden all compete to become the store's pretty shop assistant...
"Senior Lu Cheng truly is unfathomable. Even your cooking contains the meaning of the Dao."
"Is this the legendary Great Dao in its simplest form, a return to nature? We were wrong to call ourselves sages."
Look at these people who can do anything from flying through the sky to burrowing underground. Do they even hear themselves? I'm an unparalleled master? How come I don't know that?
