Spiritual qi quietly returned, nourishing the world without a sound. There were no apocalyptic wars or rampaging monsters; the world changed in small, gentle ways. Lin Xiaoman, an ordinary office worker, was surprised to discover that his balcony was the only stable spiritual qi node anywhere in the world. The plants grew lush and gained sentience, his cat became clever and intuitive, and he found himself naturally absorbing spiritual qi and unlocking all sorts of little abilities that made everyday life better.
But he was the only person on Earth who could truly sense spiritual qi. His neighbors all followed the trend, fumbling their way through fake cultivation techniques and trying to “cultivate” in bizarre ways, leading to one hilarious mishap after another. Hoping to keep a low profile and enjoy a quiet life, Lin Xiaoman had to hide his special nature. He used spiritual qi to make life more comfortable and pleasant, while pretending to be an ordinary person and playing along with his neighbors’ ridiculous “cultivation” antics.
There are no fights, villains, or melodramatic heartbreak in this story. It focuses on lighthearted humor and heartwarming everyday life. While the whole internet pretends to cultivate, only the protagonist lives a relaxed, fulfilling life infused with spiritual qi amid the simple pleasures of everyday living.
