Ten years as a mine slave, barely surviving beneath the whip.
Li Changsheng transmigrates to the cultivation world and becomes a lowly mine slave, but awakens an Immortal Body: his lifespan is endless, and he can never die.
Unfortunately, he has a mixed Five Elements spiritual root, making cultivation slow as a snail, and he suffers constant abuse.
Then, during a riot in the mine, he takes the chance to search the dead, coming away with a secret mineral core and a Foundation Establishment Pill of unknown origin. He escapes to the Ziyang Sect with Yun Rou, a younger sister he picked up along the way who possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
His sister is a once-in-ten-thousand-years cultivation prodigy, sought after by Nascent Soul Ancestors;
her brother, meanwhile, is a good-for-nothing laughed at by everyone, fit only to tend the sect's barren fields as a spiritual farmer.
But Li Changsheng is in no hurry.
He keeps his head down, farming by day and cultivating by night, honing himself in silence and wielding immortality as his blade.
Others cultivate with talent; he cultivates with time. If one year isn't enough, he'll take ten. If ten aren't enough, he'll take a hundred.
His enemies are arrogant? He'll outlast them until their lives run out and they end up in the grave.
Resources are scarce? He'll trade his lifespan for opportunities.
Then the Ziyang Sect sends its disciples to help its ally, the Bixia Sect, deal with a strange plague of insects.
Behind the insect corpses, Li Changsheng spots a familiar, hideous flame pattern: the mark of the Blood Flame Sect, a demonic sect...
A vast conspiracy spanning both the righteous and demonic paths is quietly unfolding.
And he, an inconspicuous spiritual farmer, will use his endless time to upset the board of the entire cultivation world.
