In a nutshell:
The laziest, most laid-back master in the cultivation world, a salted fish who only wants to lie flat, takes in a uniquely gifted boy who is pushing himself so hard that he’s on the verge of cultivation deviation. Thus begins a hilarious daily life of cultivation, caught between “taking it easy” and “working hard.”
[Detailed Synopsis]
After transmigrating into the body of an elder of Qinglan Sect in the cultivation world, Shen Qingmian has just one ultimate goal: lie flat and become an immortal. His cave abode is desolate, his manuals are gathering dust, and his life motto is, “Hard work doesn’t guarantee success, but not working is definitely comfortable.”
That is, until he finds a cultivation maniac at the sect’s entrance, frantically absorbing spiritual energy and about to blow himself up: the young Lin Che. To keep the boy from exploding and damaging his vegetable garden, Shen Qingmian has no choice but to intervene. By pure coincidence, the sect hails him as someone with a keen eye for talent.
From then on, his laid-back life is turned upside down.
His disciple gets up at five to practice swordsmanship, while he clutches his blanket and pretends to be dead. When his disciple wants to go down the mountain to exorcise demons, Shen Qingmian stays up all night preparing a surrender guide titled “If You Can’t Win, Lie Down.”
Shen Qingmian: “Disciple, cultivation is about enjoying life. Understand?”
Lin Che: “I understand, Master! So we need to get stronger faster, so we can enjoy life even more!” Shen Qingmian: “...” He thought he’d taken on a troublesome disciple, never realizing that this workaholic boy, in his own clumsy yet sincere way, would gently pull him out of his despondent past, bit by bit.
This is a story of healing, companionship, and growing together. See how the most unreliable master raises the strongest disciple in the Three Realms, and, along the way... raises himself into a legend too.
