Chen Luo plants medicinal herbs and accidentally discovers that he's earned a point of merit!
A path to immortality unfolds before him!
To cultivate in peace, Chen Luo chooses to become a menial disciple of the Taiyi Sect. He spends every day growing medicinal herbs, earning merit to fuel his cultivation.
Through merit-based simulations, his basic cultivation techniques evolve again and again, progressing from simple fundamentals into divine abilities that reach the heavens!
So Chen Luo avoids conflict and competition, builds his foundation steadily, and forms good relationships with others.
Over his long cultivation journey, he meets one rising figure after another: righteous leaders, peerless beauties, demonic overlords, wicked rogue cultivators, thousand-year-old monsters, masterminds pulling the strings behind the scenes...
He watches the world rise and fall, the tides ebb and flow.
Before he knows it, he has become a living fossil of the cultivation world, an evergreen tree that has stood for all eternity.
To be honest, the author's portrayal of this protagonist is terrible and poorly worded. With a system panel that clearly shows the strength of both sides, the protagonist is depicted as cowardly in both mind and action, which is truly disgusting. Being cowardly is not the same as being timid.
It's not good. The protagonist isn't just cowardly, he's sleazy. He's afraid of everything, there's nothing interesting about him, it's boring, too sleazy.
