[Transmigration + semi-satisfying power fantasy + Cultivation + multiple female leads + not brainless + simulator (System)] (The pacing is a little slow at first)
The protagonist, Li Chengxi, is a transmigrator from Blue Star.
During an outdoor expedition, he accidentally entered a cave and found an ancient blade, simple in design and weathered with age.
Fortune favors the bold. He put all his strength into pulling it free, and the moment he did, the entire cave began to collapse.
A falling rock struck him. As his mind grew hazy, he suddenly saw a flash of light. Thinking it was the exit, he followed his will to survive toward the light, then passed out.
When he came to, his soul had transmigrated into a baby with the same name. He discovered that he was the young master of the Li family.
He thought he would enjoy a life of fine clothes and fast horses, reaching the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment. But when he was seven, his parents disappeared, and the Li family was falsely accused of colluding with the demonic path and wiped out. He escaped disaster and fled through a secret passage.
He was accidentally rescued by Li Wanxi, a concubine of the head of the Lin family, which had ancestral ties to his family. But because of her lowly status as a concubine,
the Lin family didn’t want to get dragged into trouble over an outsider. Still, thanks to Li Wanxi’s determined protection, he was allowed to stay with the Lin family.
When he was sixteen, the sun blazed overhead and cicadas chattered noisily in the branches.
The Lin family’s crucial aptitude test had arrived.
He had assumed he was exceptionally talented, but it turned out he had a useless five-element spirit root.
Meanwhile, Lin Xinyao, his childhood friend of many years, awakened a dual spirit root of Metal and Fire.
Fortunately, Lin Xinyao didn’t abandon him. Instead, she comforted him softly.
Just as he thought his life was over and he’d have to live off his childhood friend, his golden finger finally arrived.
