Raising Pigs to Ascend

(Decisive and ruthless + beast taming + traditional cultivation + slow burn + cautious and steady + some power fantasy)

Zhu Shanliang, a pig farmer who lived to seventy-five, dies of old age and is reborn in a world of cultivation.

Returned to his youth, he unexpectedly stumbles upon a secret rendezvous. Thanks to his testimony afterward, he receives a fragment of a secret realm and steps into the cruel world of cultivation.

But drawing on the superb animal-breeding skills he honed in his previous life, Zhu Shanliang doesn't devote himself entirely to increasing his cultivation. Instead, he pours all his efforts into raising spirit pets!

“Take a look at my spirit pets, then look at yours... Tsk, tsk, tsk. You can't beat a master like me!” Zhu Shanliang shakes his head repeatedly, hands clasped behind his back.

And so, the once-mocked pig farmer becomes an undying legend in the Upper Realm.
