Synopsis:

Chu Xinghe transmigrates to the cultivation world and becomes an abandoned heir of a powerful family whose dantian has been destroyed. He is cast into a wasteland ravaged by dark baleful energy, where he struggles to survive. On the brink of death, he obtains a fragment of the Azure Emperor's Hundred Herbs Scripture and learns that all 720 of the body's acupoints can serve as spirit fields.

"While others fight over talent and resources, all I want is to grow a few things in my acupoints to stay alive."

He awakens the Clear-Sighted Dao Body, gaining the ability to perceive the flow of spiritual energy, and quietly cultivates with his body as his garden:

He plants a Spirit-Eater Vine in his dantian, letting it silently devour dark baleful energy and turn it into spiritual energy, just to keep himself alive;

He grows Yin-Yang Grass in the acupoints of his hands, not to gain much combat power, but simply to have fire and water spells for self-defense;

He buries an unremarkable piece of toughwood in the acupoints of his spine, hoping only to strengthen his body so he can take a few more hits.

But who could have guessed that as he kept planting, the Spirit-Eater Vine would become a weapon for purifying dark baleful energy, the Yin-Yang Grass would give rise to a unique defensive technique, and even the toughwood would draw down heavenly lightning to temper his body?

When traditional sects regard spirit-plant cultivators as heretics and seek to eliminate them, Chu Xinghe hunkers down in his own little plot of land and looks at the crops growing everywhere with a troubled expression. "All I want is to keep my head down. Why is that so hard?"
