A classic underdog cultivation story that gets better with every chapter!
[Not a power fantasy + slow-paced + no System + not invincible + a little angst]
(The pacing is slow, and there's a large backlog of chapters. Best to stock up and read a few at a time.)
An amnesiac mute was found on the street and sold to the Li Family Stronghold by a passing cook, becoming someone else's son.
He learned to speak, feel emotions, and hunt in the stronghold, earning the name Lu Chengchuan.
One day, he stumbled upon a spiritual root. The discovery brought disaster, and the entire stronghold was massacred. He then set off with his companions to seek immortality at Yunjig Sect, only to be rejected. After two years of trials in the mortal world, he finally passed the test and entered the sect.
He devoted himself to cultivation in the sect, rising from menial servant to true disciple. His master bestowed on him the technique Myriad Wood Returning to the Origin. He opened a garden of life-bound spirit plants, where fields of true essence could grow rare spirit plants from across the world, nourishing him in return.
And so begins the story of a mortal who cultivates the Myriad Wood Returning to the Origin technique and gathers the world's rarest treasures and ancient trees.
(Readers, the pacing really is slow, so please bear with it!)
The road is far away and my shoes are worn out, but I still climb towards the peak.
