The Cautious Path to Immortality + Slow-Burn Daily Life + Beginner Skills That Never Level Up + No Female Lead + Not a Power Fantasy + Lighthearted and Witty (Enter at Your Own Risk)
Synopsis:
Shen Shi transmigrates to a cultivation world and becomes an orphan blacksmith in a remote border town. While others begin with heaven-defying techniques, gear drops from slain monsters, and an unstoppable rise to power, he awakens an utterly bizarre System: every ten days, he automatically learns one beginner skill. And those skills can never be upgraded. Beginner blacksmithing, beginner fire-starting, beginner water-carrying, beginner mending, beginner herb identification...
They're all as ordinary as skills can get.
Shen Shi decides on the spot: lie flat.
No taking a master, no cultivation, no fighting for supremacy, no stirring up trouble.
Feuds in the martial world? He takes the long way around.
Sects recruiting disciples? Not interested.
Demonic beasts and bandits? If a beginner skill can handle them, he won't make a fuss.
All he wants is to forge iron in peace and live quietly.
He doesn't know that the System comes with immortality.
He also doesn't know that, as a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand beginner skills quietly merge,
the most ordinary little skills have already become the supreme Dao.
A hundred years pass, and old acquaintances grow old. A thousand years pass, and dynasties rise and fall. Ten thousand years pass, and the world changes.
When calamity descends upon all realms and every living being falls into despair,
the blacksmith who has been quietly surviving in the mortal world for all eternity...
Very well written!
It starts slowly and then gets faster and faster. It's beautiful!
Very nice! Watching it gives people a very healing feeling!
