The Most Down-to-Earth Immortal in History

My name is Jiang Ning. In my previous life, I was a cultivator, right in the middle of building my foundation, when a sudden “boom” sent me flying into the 21st century. Now I’m a high school freshman with both parents dead and a younger sister in eighth grade to look after.

Where are those promised magical treasures and immortal pills? Not a trace of them! And this godforsaken place called Earth has no spiritual energy. That stuff doesn’t fall under Newton’s jurisdiction! As a mighty ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator (formerly), my top priority now is figuring out how to keep my sister Jiang Yan from going hungry and dealing with the suspicious looks from the neighborhood committee aunties.

So the cultivation world’s most competitive workaholic becomes a “human excavator” at construction sites, a “barbecue fire god” at the night market, and an “unlicensed health guru” in the community. I bring the focus I once used to control pill flames to the grill, and the grit of body-tempering techniques to hauling bricks. As for drawing Qi into my body? First, I’d better learn how to attend a parent-teacher meeting for my rebellious little sister!

(You ask what happened to cultivation? Well, raising a child in the mortal world and being there for her from the days she was a tiny bean to her old age with white hair... Isn’t this long, everyday journey the most incredible “immortal path through the mortal world”?)

Follow a down-on-his-luck immortal as he tackles the most mundane parts of life with the most hardcore cultivation techniques. There’s only so much room in a synopsis, so find more laughter and tears in the story itself!
