After transmigrating to a perilous fantasy world where the strong prey on the weak, Lu Changsheng has only one rule for survival: play it safe and keep a low profile!
He had planned to rely on his past-life experience as a crafty survivor, quietly tending his fields and growing stronger until he could live out his days in peace. But his awakened golden finger, the Myriad-Era Appraising Eye, keeps dragging him into trouble. One moment he stumbles upon a world-shaking treasure, the next he sees through a powerful expert’s fatal weakness, and all the while beautiful immortal maidens mistake him for a master who conceals his true strength!
“I just want to quietly blend into the background!” Lu Changsheng roared inwardly.
The sect is in danger? What’s that got to do with me... Wait, isn’t that sect-protecting treasure about to break? And don’t I have the materials to fix it in my backyard? I’ll just repair it, then take no credit.
A contest between prodigies? I don’t need to watch... Huh? Why is that favorite to win carrying a damaged ancient protective jade? The weakness is obvious! Never mind, I’ll anonymously send a note to warn him and make a good connection.
A demonic overlord has emerged? Run!... Hmm? Doesn’t the secret manual I picked up last time record the one fatal weakness in this old demon’s cultivation technique? Ahem, I’ll find a chance to “accidentally” let the righteous leader know.
Lu Changsheng keeps these rules in mind: never start trouble, run whenever possible instead of fighting, strike from the shadows instead of facing enemies head-on, and gang up on them rather than play the hero! Everything is for one purpose: a safe and steady path to immortality!
And yet, as he is “forced” to resolve one crisis after another and “accidentally” saves the world time and again, the spirit herbs he quietly planted have become peerless immortal roots, the disciples he casually advised have become giants in their own right, and the “junk” he picked up on the sly has piled up across his entire pocket world...
Looking back, Lu Changsheng is bewildered: I just wanted to be a crafty survivor. How did I somehow end up at the peak of the immortal path?
