A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting as a Fool in the Woodshed

[A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality] [Farming Novel] [The Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation]

Chen Ping'an is an ordinary high school student. On the day his college entrance exam scores are released, he goes hiking to unwind. But as he climbs, he loses focus for a moment and accidentally falls off a cliff. When he opens his eyes again, he's in a woodshed belonging to the Chen family in Lin'an City. After the two souls merge, Chen Ping'an learns about his situation: his parents are dead, and the person he has taken over was a fool everyone could bully. Fortunately, the nine-story pagoda he picked up while hiking has come along with him, and he accidentally enters the space inside it.

Looking at the spiritual fields and spring in the space, Chen Ping'an decides to drink from the spiritual spring to slowly restore his health, while continuing to pretend to be a fool and secretly stockpile resources. He'll wait for the right opportunity to escape the Chen family and find another way forward.

Unfortunately, just a few days after he makes his plans, his childhood betrothed, Su Tang, comes to break off their engagement, bringing people with her. She also gives him a Marrow-Cleansing Pill worth ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, as well as three hundred low-grade spirit stones.

His plans can't keep up with the changes. Chen Ping'an had intended to take things slowly, but now he has no choice but to flee the Chen family overnight with Granny Liu.

Fortunately, every loss brings a gain. After taking the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, Chen Ping'an finally tests as having the worst possible Five Elements Spiritual Root. His aptitude is less than ideal, but at least he's embarked on the path of immortal cultivation and has the nine-story pagoda in his hands.

As for his slow cultivation speed, why not keep a low profile, grow some spiritual plants, raise some spirit chickens, trade them for spirit stones, and buy resources?
