A Courtyard House Hustler Running a Black Market

Li Shengli, the lone wolf of Nanluoguxiang, is also a bereaved family member whose leg was crippled. In a courtyard surrounded by a whole pack of beasts, he is driven into a corner by Yi Zhonghai, the self-righteous moral authority; Liu Haizhong, the supposedly loving father; and Yan Bugui, the ultimate penny-pincher. They scheme together to seize his home, steal his job, and cut off his livelihood! As blood sprays from his mouth and Li Shengli teeters on the brink of death, he awakens an ancestral jade pendant and enters a mysterious realm of profound power!

Within the realm, endless seas of wheat roll with golden waves, fierce beasts howl in savage forests, and three thatched cottages conceal heavenly scriptures! He obtains the Azure Luan Qi-Guiding Art and absorbs the essence of the wheat fields. In half a month, his leg is fully healed, and his physique surpasses the ordinary! Yet Earth’s spiritual energy is exhausted, leaving the path to immortality seemingly close, yet impossibly far.

Though gifted with strange powers, Li Shengli keeps them hidden and lies low in his sickbed while secretly setting a deadly trap! Rumors cut like knives, but the ancient jade protects him. He personally forces Deaf Granny to sign a ten-thousand-character blood contract, then takes the main house by force! The courtyard’s beasts carve into his heart and flesh, humiliate him into signing, and still expect him to sing their praises for their “deep neighborly affection”!

Now the dormant dragon awakens! The ancient jade space stores grain and meat, grows spirit plants, and engraves cultivation techniques into his soul! When the lone wolf’s fangs are tempered with the icy edge of cultivation, will the courtyard’s monsters be ready to have their souls scattered?!

1. A mind-blowing concept: a revolutionary fusion of “Cultural Revolution-era courtyard life” and “cultivation and farming,” bringing cultivation to period fiction for the first time!

2. A compelling protagonist: a tough street fighter and a born cultivator, ruthless and decisive yet as patient as a venomous snake, turning the traditional saintly period-drama hero on his head.

3. The ultimate revenge rush: he fakes illness, coughs blood, and lays a trap, then strikes back at every beast in the courtyard and forces the granny herself to hand over the house. The satisfying moments come thick and fast!

4. A fresh golden finger: the Profound Jade (wheat-field farming, hunting in savage mountains, a time-stopping storage space, and immortal arts in the cottages). Its four functions interlock, with foreshadowing throughout!
