I’m a Menial Worker on Purple Cloud Mountain

Chen Ping transmigrates to the cultivation world and becomes the lowest-ranking servant disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect. Born with the worst Five-Element Mixed Spirit Root, his path of cultivation is destined to be full of hardship. While his fellow disciples chase lucky encounters and quick success, Chen Ping chooses the slow, unglamorous path no one else cares about: treating every menial task, from sweeping floors to farming and tending the fire, as a form of cultivation.

In an abandoned medicine garden, he carefully tends a few withered plants and gains insight into the cycles of growth and decay. Among the stacks of old papers in the Scripture Pavilion, he searches for the notes of those who came before and hones the most basic techniques. With patience and insight far beyond ordinary people, he turns his weaknesses into strengths: his cultivation is slow, but his foundations are rock-solid; his spirit root is mixed, yet he has a subtle affinity with all things.

While others surge ahead with pills and treasures, Chen Ping quietly grows through his perfect command of basic spells and his broad knowledge of miscellaneous subjects. A golden-threaded grass he cultivates by chance attracts the envy of his fellow disciples; speaking up for justice at a market reveals his extraordinary vision.

With the sect’s minor examination three months away and powerful enemies making trouble for him, Chen Ping makes diligence his path and insight his vessel. See how this ordinary servant turns everyday chores into supreme divine powers and carves out a unique path of his own along the long road to immortality.
