Spirit Roots and Such Don't Matter, the Alchemy Furnace Is the Real Powerhouse

Wang Zheng, a farm boy of ordinary aptitude, had never dreamed of cultivating immortality. He only wanted to chop wood and hunt to support his younger brother's studies and live an ordinary life.

But one day, while cutting wood deep in the mountains, he was captured by an old man in a black robe and unexpectedly embarked on the path of cultivation.

Using the cultivation arts and pill recipes of the old man in black, Wang Zheng trained on his own, progressing from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, then Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Tribulation Crossing. After enduring countless trials and life-and-death crises, he grew stronger and stronger, until an ordinary mortal became an immortal.
