A Day Laborer in the Cultivation World: From the Scrap Yard to a Government Job

After dying from overwork, Lin Yan is reborn in the cultivation world. He starts by scavenging spirit residue at a junkyard, refusing to join an immortal sect, chase a government job, or pursue the Illusory Realm.

With his knack for sorting scrap, eight years of cooking experience, and a network of delivery connections, he opens a neighborhood shop and takes the Nine Provinces by storm.

He exposes corruption in the immortal sects, rescues his benefactor from prison, and drives the barbarian tribes back to the border. He turns down offers of high office and stays true to the everyday bustle of ordinary life.

He watches his brothers start families, his closest friends find their place, and old acquaintances mend their ways. He has no interest in cultivating power and dominion. He just wants to protect his freedom in the human world, following the most down-to-earth path of a working man to become the cultivation world's most clear-eyed legend.
