After working himself to death hauling concrete at a construction site, office drone Lin Feng opens his eyes to find himself a lowly laborer in a minor sect in the mortal realm of Journey to the West. Even getting started on the path to cultivation seems impossibly difficult.
While others rely on talent, magic treasures, and powerful connections to cultivate, he relies on the grit and resilience forged at construction sites, along with the people skills of a modern office drone:
He uses three spirit stones to win over the steward and secures a spot in the alchemy room, escaping his laborer status.
He collects discarded pills, refines them, and trains bitterly, reaching the third level of Qi Refining in just six months.
When he faces an enemy, he doesn’t charge in headfirst. He keeps a low profile, grows steadily, and gets stronger in silence.
After 160 years of patiently biding his time, he finally survives the tribulation and becomes an immortal. He thinks he’ll ascend and become an Immortal Venerable, only to be assigned as a guard at the South Heaven Gate?!
From a lowly laborer in the mortal realm to a guard at the South Heaven Gate, then to a powerful immortal who shakes the Three Realms, Lin Feng has this to say: Cultivation is all about securing resources and building connections. Even a security guard can defy the heavens!
The guiding principle is simple: keep a low profile, grow steadily, and be sweet-tongued and ready to handle anything. This is a workplace comeback story set in the immortal world of Journey to the West. The protagonist never suffers, the plot never drags, and the story will be adjusted based on reader feedback. The satisfying moments are guaranteed to keep coming!
