A Salted-Fish Sword Cultivator's Path to Immortality Without the Rat Race

Lu Chen, a “lucky soul” who transmigrated to a world of immortal cultivation, was sure he was about to unlock a life of effortless power. Instead, the System told him he had a “slacker constitution,” which made his cultivation speed slower than a tortoise. While others fought monsters and leveled up, he would lie flat and slack off. His greatest wish each day was to get a good night's sleep on a straw mat behind the mountain. He had no interest in the cultivation world's schemes or battles over resources.

Then, during the new disciples' entrance examination, Wang Hao viciously humiliated Li Ergou for his humble background. Lu Chen's sense of justice flared, and he stepped in. This not only earned him Wang Hao's resentment and brutal revenge, but also unexpectedly triggered a hidden System quest: help Li Ergou achieve success on the path of cultivation.

From then on, his laid-back life was over. To complete the quest and protect those he cherished, Lu Chen was forced to say goodbye to his idle days. He snuck into the Scripture Pavilion in the dead of night, where danger lurked at every turn; his several clashes with Wang Hao were heart-pounding, and he also had to contend with rumors within the sect and the sect leader's suspicions. Yet despite all the difficulties, Lu Chen never backed down. Relying on his wits and his refusal to give in, he struggled to survive in a cultivation world riddled with danger.

On this path of cultivation, full of unknowns and challenges, can Lu Chen break the curse of his “slacker constitution” and help Li Ergou achieve his dream? With one crisis after another and powerful enemies closing in, how will he survive when all seems lost and write his own legend?
