Zhang Chen, Blue Star's top playboy and a bar investor, died suddenly after drinking fake liquor. His soul crossed into the cultivation world and entered the body of a Golden Core rogue alchemist with the same name, who had just been killed by an enemy's ambush.
The original owner had modest cultivation, but his alchemy skills had earned him an astonishing fortune in spirit stones. He was a loner and died an untimely death.
After merging with the original owner's memories, Zhang Chen discovered that cultivators in this world lived dreary lives: rogue cultivators lacked resources, prodigies were arrogant, powerful figures had no worthy rivals, finding a Dao companion was difficult, and information was hard to come by...

An old monster who had been in seclusion for a thousand years emerged just to drink a cup of "Breakthrough Brew," spending a fortune on it.
Countless rogue cultivators found opportunities here and soared to success.
