Gu Xianyun's Laid-Back Cultivation Diary
Graduate student Gu Xianyun wakes up to find that he has transmigrated to the bottom of a cultivation world barren of spiritual energy.
Here, spirit stones are more precious than life itself. Rogue cultivators fight until they're battered and bloody over a single low-grade spirit stone, while he has no money at all and gets turned away even when he tries to enter a city.
But he has two things going for him.
One is a cultivation talent five times greater than the average person's.
The other is a pocket dimension of his own, with an ever-flowing spirit spring and spirit herbs growing everywhere.
While everyone outside is willing to risk their lives for a single spirit stone, his backyard is piled high with medicinal herbs.
Someone else might cultivate until they were invincible and conquer the world.
But Gu Xianyun just wants to coast through life.
He doesn't like throwing punches, and he doesn't want fame. Running a business with his brains is far more worthwhile than fighting with his fists.
So he secretly sells medicine, recruits rogue cultivators, builds connections, and manipulates intelligence. With one invisible thread after another, he quietly takes control of the cultivation world's vital resources.
Everyone is searching for the mysterious “behind-the-scenes supplier of spirit medicines.”
No one suspects that the prime suspect is the most inconspicuous slacker disciple in the sect.
The problem is, he has a soft heart.
Once he saves someone, he has to see it through. Once he helps a group of people, they drag him into an even bigger maelstrom.
The overlord of the empire in the open wants to crush his covert network, while power struggles in the sect pull him into the heart of the storm. And the larger the underground resource empire he built becomes, the harder it is to keep hidden.
Every time he's forced to act, he moves one step farther from his goal of “living a carefree life.”
“I just want to be a happy little slacker. Why is that so hard?”
