Lin Mo, a modern social animal, accidentally traveled to the Great Yan Dynasty and was bound to the mysterious "Seed of Immortality". He started out as a poor scholar heavily in debt. He believes in "the supremacy of the Tao" and is well aware of the truth that "only if you survive can you achieve success", but he cannot resist the fate that adds fuel to the fire——
From debt disputes in border towns to getting involved in sect secrets; from evading the Xuantian Sect's pursuit to confronting the mysterious Shadow Tower. He relies on his insights beyond the times and his "extreme" wisdom to survive in the crisis-ridden world of cultivation: he uses modern knowledge to improve farming, crack down on institutions, and uses his identity as a mortal to hide his heaven-defying abilities, keeping even the strongest sects in the dark.
But as the [Immortality Seed] awakened, he discovered that he could not only absorb spiritual energy to extend his life, but was also closely related to the secrets of the alchemy master three hundred years ago and the mystery of the ghosts within the sect. When a low profile can no longer be hidden, and when people around him are involved in disputes, "King Gou" Lin Mo has to hold on to the rusty knife, take the elixir box and the mysterious jade pendant that can guide the way, and find his own "path to immortality" in the whirlpool of cultivation and conspiracy.
There is the exhilaration of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, the step-by-step battle of wits, and the warmth of persevering in desperate situations - after all, the one who survives to the end is the real winner.
