Li Qingshan is Peach Blossom Village's famous "old useless guy."
Basking in the sun, teasing Er Ya, and rubbing his yellow gourd are all the fun he needs.
At his hundredth-birthday feast, an immortal tests the villagers for spiritual roots.
The whole village erupts in excitement, but Er Ya is found to have the lowest-grade root and is met with scorn on all sides.
Old Li's heart breaks for her. Then, buzz!
The ugly gourd at his waist goes berserk!
It devours the spirit-root testing stone, and golden light explodes!
Boom!
A terrifying pressure that could shatter the heavens bursts from Old Li. The immortal drops to his knees in fright:
"Spare me, reclusive ancestor!"
Li Qingshan:
"I'm just an old man! Is the gourd hungry?"
Forced to "become an immortal," Li Qingshan can only curse:
"How can cultivating immortality compare to farming with Er Ya?"
But the gourd won't take no for an answer. A storage space and a spirit spring? Easy!
Time acceleration?
One day in the outside world is ten years inside the gourd!
His old back secretly heals until he can stride along like a young man!
Make anything grow? A peach pit becomes an immortal tree overnight!
He meant to keep a low profile and quietly grow stronger, but some idiots dared to target Peach Blossom Village and his Er Ya!
Bandits? Vines trip them up until they land flat on their faces!
Demon boars? A brick, the Mountain God, smashes their heads!
A sect kidnaps Er Ya by force?
Old Li flies into a rage:
"You think I'm made of clay? Touch my Er Ya, and I'll break the legs of immortals and demons alike!"
The gourd buzzes:
"Old man, go get 'em!"
The cultivation world is rocked:
A hundred-year-old old schemer with a battered gourd at his waist, and his little granddaughter with a "cheat" of her own, pretend to be fools and play the pig, then turn around and catch the tiger!
He plants spirit herbs like radishes and has every golden finger in the book!
When it comes to protecting his own, even sect leaders get their legs whacked!
See how Old Li survives his way through the cultivation world, protects Er Ya as she becomes a legend, and turns everything upside down!
Does the gourd shine?
It shines!
Anyone who touches Er Ya dies!
