Li Xian transmigrates to a world of immortal cultivation and only wants to complete his System tasks: find a cave, dig a well, build a gun tower... and maybe level up along the way.
But the well he digs turns out to be a Star Marrow Spirit Spring, and the “bottled water” he casually gives away lets a Nascent Soul cultivator break through on the spot!
The gun tower he builds comes with the power of heavenly tribulations, while the cave where he hides is hailed as a secluded cultivation sanctuary, with the surrounding hundred li declared a forbidden zone!
“Senior, your cultivation is profound and unfathomable!” (Li Xian: I’m just an ordinary person!)
“Senior, your artifact-refining skills are divine. This is truly the work of heaven itself!” (Li Xian: The System built it automatically!)
“Senior, this is Starweave Steel, a secret product of the Chu Kingdom. Please accept it!” (Li Xian: The more, the better!)
When the ruler and officials of Daqing kneel before him, honor him as their Imperial Preceptor, and beg him to bestow a single drop of spirit spring water, Li Xian stares at his crawling experience bar and mountain of building materials and cries out inwardly: I’m really not some big shot! I’m just a construction geek trying to unlock my sect’s legacy and escape the mortal realm!
See how a modern architect with social anxiety relies on his “infrastructure-building master plan” to be mistaken by the whole world for an invincible powerhouse in the world of immortal cultivation, and is forced down an unconventional path to godhood: using defense towers to “persuade” the world and building materials to “buy off” the strong!
The writing style is very good and the subject matter is average.
