Others cultivate immortality to defy fate and change their destiny. Lin Yuan cultivates immortality simply because there's no internet in the mountains and he's bored.
Transported to the world of cultivation, he starts with a barren mountain and a thatched hut. The System says it will help him dominate the immortal realm and marry a divine goddess, but he immediately silences its notifications. He worked hard enough in his previous life; this time, he just wants to retire in peace.
So he opens spiritual fields, plants rice, and picks up a wild chicken that lost a fight. Who could have guessed that when the rice ripens, it would shine with a thousand rays of light, with a single grain enough to let a Qi Refining cultivator charge straight into Foundation Establishment? Or that the wild chicken, touched by the rain of his tribulation, would regain its ancient bloodline and become a primordial Angry-Eyed Chicken? The Holy Maiden of the neighboring Medicine King Valley comes to see him, thinking she's found a hidden master. Lin Yuan pulls her aside to study the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ratios in chicken-manure fertilizer. The Holy Maiden starts questioning her career choice.
Just as he thinks he can keep lying low forever, a hoe brings up an ancient bronze coffin. Inside lies an incomparably beautiful woman's corpse, with an immortal seal between her brows identical to his own. The System issues a cold warning: Please preside over the Ascension Ceremony within thirty days. At that time, the extraterrestrial fiends will devour this world, using you as the sacrifice that restores you to your rightful place.
Lin Yuan looks at the hoe in his hand, then at the coffin beneath his feet.
Could he... be the greatest villain in this world?
And so begins a hilarious tale of a former office drone who just wants to farm and retire, but is forced to outwit the mess left behind by his past-life self.
