The Sky-Piercing Opium Pipe

Bad news: My aptitude is rock-bottom. I've spent seven years chopping wood for the sect, and everyone thinks I'm an easy target!

Good news: I found a busted smoking pipe in a pile of discarded artifacts!

Little do they know, it's an immortal artifact that can upgrade anything!

Stuff a low-grade spirit stone inside, take a puff, and it's instantly middle-grade!

Toss in a trash cultivation manual, burn it up, and it becomes a heavenly-tier divine art!

From then on, I eat immortal pills like rice and chew divine herbs whenever I please!

The Holy Maiden who once bullied and humiliated me now kneels before me, begging for a single puff of my pill smoke!

The whole sect is dumbfounded: How is this woodcutter even stronger than the ancestor who's cultivated for a thousand years?!
