Nascent Soul powerhouse Lin Feng has transmigrated into the soul of a boy in a dirt-poor farming family in northern China in 1980.
From the start, he gets a drafty mud hut, a little sister swollen with hunger and coughing blood, and half a moldy steamed bun left in his pocket. He once drew in spiritual energy, yet now he is struggling just to get enough to eat!
In desperation, he touches a withered sweet potato vine in the courtyard.
A trace of the remaining spiritual power from the "Greenwood Essence-Nourishing Art" surges forth...
The dead vine instantly springs back to life, putting out new shoots!
After exhausting his spiritual power, he digs through the frozen soil with his bare hands and unearths a half-rotten sweet potato.
He desperately pours the last of his vitality into it!
A miracle occurs: the shriveled tuber swells against all odds, becoming two deep-red treasures the size of fists!
When golden, honey-dripping roasted sweet potatoes are set on the broken table, their rich sweetness tears through the despair.
His little sister takes small bites, content for the first time, her face no longer sallow.
His father chews in silence, tears falling from the hardened man’s eyes.
His mother chokes back a sob. “Why... why is this sweet potato so sweet?”
Lin Feng gazes calmly at the cold moon outside the window.
“From now on, we’ll have enough to eat at every meal.”
With an immortal art that can breathe life into the withered, Lin Feng begins in this age without spiritual energy with a single sweet potato. His path to defying fate starts here!
