One sentence introduction:
This is the heartwarming and hilarious story of the last swordsman genius in the world, who had to pretend to be a super weakling when he was held back by nine useless masters.
Core summary:
Lin Yan, the first disciple of the Immortal Sect, formed an elixir at the age of seventeen and was known as a swordsman genius with a thousand-year sword. However, the Baopu Sect where he belongs is recognized as a "Holy Place for Retirement" in the world of cultivation. The nine masters each practice piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, cooking, and hexagram poetry, but no one knows how to sword.
The masters treat him very well, but they have one obsession: the world of cultivation is too dangerous, sword cultivators are cannon fodder, and we have to hide our clumsiness!
In order to make his masters feel at ease, Lin Yan was forced to use sword energy to loosen the soil in the spiritual field and use sword energy to control the fire in the alchemy furnace. He daily pretended to be an "ordinary elite disciple" in the golden elixir stage. Until the catastrophe was approaching and the sect was surrounded by powerful enemies, the masters burned life energy and prepared to pave an escape path for him with their lives.
At that moment, Lin Yan finally took off his disguise and pulled out the sword used to chop vegetables towards the sky.
He frost-frozen the fourteen states with a sword, then turned around and smiled gently at the stunned masters:
"Master, actually this disciple... Has been invincible for a long time."
