The Mortal's Search for Immortality

[No System + Mortal Cultivator + No Transmigration or Rebirth + No Harem] Everyone dreams of becoming an immortal, and Yun Feng is no exception. He was an ordinary herb gatherer. One day, when he returned from gathering herbs, he found that every elderly person and child in his village had been slaughtered. His own mother had also died a tragic death among them. The immortal he had rescued while gathering herbs in the mountains gave him a token, but because Yun Feng had a pseudo-spiritual root, the immortal refused to take him as a disciple. So Yun Feng set out on his own in search of immortality and made his way to the Lingyuan Sect. When he first joined the sect, he was full of hope for the distant path to immortality and eternal life, while secretly investigating the people who had slaughtered his village. But reality soon dealt him a crushing blow. The immortal sect was a place where people devoured one another. With no connections, he was constantly suppressed and had no choice but to climb his way up, one step at a time.
