A Cultivation Adventure with My Irreverent Master

Qin Wang only wanted enough to eat.

At the Cangwu Sect's recruitment ceremony, he couldn't even afford the registration fee. He planned to find somewhere quiet to sleep, then head back down the mountain. Instead, he got lost and wound up at Qingfeng Cliff, where he stole a peach and was caught red-handed by a woman in red with a blade of foxtail grass between her lips.

"Do you want to cultivate immortality?"

"Does cultivating immortality get me meals?"

"...It does."

"As much as I can eat?"

"As much as you can eat."

"And I don't have to work?"

"You haven't even become my disciple, and you're already thinking of not working?!"

And just like that, Qin Wang became the sole direct disciple of Li Fengxian, the Qingfeng Adept and one of the twelve peak masters of the Cangwu Sect.

Then he discovered that apart from her high cultivation and beautiful looks, his master was practically useless.

She was astonishingly lazy, dirt poor, shameless, and sharp-tongued. For three hundred out of the three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, she lay on a peach tree drinking wine. Qingfeng Cliff had only three shabby huts, a leaky roof, a blanket stolen by a cat, and a stove he had to build himself.

Wasn't this supposed to be cultivation? Wasn't he supposed to reach the peak of life?

But strangely, this unreliable master would casually stand up for him when others bullied him, secretly fill his cultivation manuals with annotations, and curse him for being clumsy while tending to his injuries with the gentlest touch.

From idling through daily life at Qingfeng Cliff, to heading down the mountain to gain experience, earn money, and swindle demons; from risking his life in the battle between good and evil, to struggling to survive after being cast into the wilderness.

Step by step, Qin Wang grew from a street child into a true cultivator of the righteous path.

And behind him, the woman in red who seemed to have given up on everything was waiting for him to say those words.
