[Farming + feel-good power fantasy + development + lighthearted + invincible protagonist + wild imagination]
After Li You, a 996 office drone, drops dead from overwork, he transmigrates to a deserted island and stumbles upon a mysterious clay pot that can grow crops.
While you cultivate immortality in pursuit of eternal life, I'll use immortal arts to develop infrastructure. While you fight to the death over medicinal herbs, I'll water my vegetable patch with divine spring water.
Stranded in the wilderness from the start? I'll just build myself a seaside villa!
What? You say the cabbages I grew are immortal herbs found only once in ten thousand years? Great, they'll be perfect for hot pot tonight.
When passing cultivators see a “mortal” chopping wood with a flying sword and using divine beasts to plow his fields, their whole understanding of cultivation collapses on the spot!
Years later, as the great cultivators kneel before his vegetable patch, begging him through tears to come out and save the world, Li You lets out a leisurely sigh...
“Leave me alone. Can't you see my underwater tunnel is almost finished?”
