[Mortal journey ✓ Leveling up ✓ Transmigration ✓ Single heroine ✓ No System ✓ Talisman master ✓ Formation master ✓ Starts as a rogue cultivator ✓ Builds a merchant alliance later ✓ Naval warfare and hegemony ✓] The protagonist, Ma Liang, was an ordinary loser from Blue Star. After finding a miraculous paintbrush on the street, he unexpectedly transmigrated to a world of immortal cultivation. He later discovered that not only did he possess a spiritual root, but the divine brush that had transmigrated with him could also create talismans with a 100% success rate. With the divine brush’s help, Ma Liang constantly drew talismans and traded them for the resources he needed to cultivate, making his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds. However, in the world of immortal cultivation, most resources were monopolized by sects and prestigious families. Though he had spirit stones, many of the spiritual treasures needed to break through bottlenecks remained out of reach. With no other choice, Ma Liang began building his own merchant alliance in the Yunhai region and assembling an invincible fleet. He attacked key maritime passages and monopolized all ocean trade.
