I'm Really Just an Ordinary Mortal

In a city of mortals, there is a little shop called the No-Dao Pavilion.

Its owner, Ye Wudao, wants nothing more than to spend his days reading and drinking tea, raising chickens and growing vegetables, and enjoying the most carefree life a mortal can have.

What he doesn't know is that the words he casually writes contain supreme Dao techniques; the ordinary chickens he keeps in his backyard are ancient phoenixes whose cries shake the nine heavens; and the music he casually plays on his zither can resonate with the Great Dao and make all techniques submit.

Countless top experts from the cultivation world come here seeking a sliver of fortune, and regard him as an unfathomable reclusive master.

Faced with their awe, Ye Wudao always looks completely innocent.

"A master? I'm not one. I'm really just a mortal."

This is the story of an all-powerful expert trying his hardest to prove he's a novice, yet leaving the entire cultivation world trembling in fear.
