Original story background: In the popular urban cultivation novel The Daoist Sect's Top Expert, the male lead, Ye Chen, descends the mountain to seek revenge, sweeps aside the city's wealthy families, and cultivates to immortality. He humiliates one antagonist after another on his way to the pinnacle of the city.
Fan-fiction spin-off: Lin Feng, the original protagonist's junior fellow disciple and a hidden genius of the Daoist sect, is sick of the sect's endless fighting. He refuses to descend the mountain for revenge and instead heads to a remote village, where he binds himself to the Rural Prosperity System and begins a life balancing farming and cultivation.
The Daoist sect's once-in-a-century genius, Lin Feng, refuses to help his senior brother Ye Chen descend the mountain for revenge. He tosses down his sect token and walks away. What's the point of fighting when growing vegetables is so much more satisfying?
Alone, he arrives in impoverished Qingshan Village and takes over a barren patch of sandy, rocky land nobody wants. To his surprise, he binds himself to the Rural Prosperity System. One watering with spirit spring water turns compacted soil into spirit fields; seeds from the System produce cabbages in three days that rival ginseng, while soup made with free-range chickens can cure old ailments.
He only wants to live a quiet, laid-back farming life, but there's always someone foolish enough to provoke him. The village bully tries to seize his land? One punch splits a rock, and the bully immediately backs down. Capitalists try to monopolize his produce? He cuts off their supply, sending them straight into bankruptcy. Evil cultivators come looking for revenge? His Golden Core cultivation crushes them, and they finally realize the farmer is a hidden expert.
Together with Su Xue, a university graduate who has returned to her hometown, he establishes a cooperative, builds an ecological farm, and develops rural tourism, transforming a poor mountain village into the richest village in the country. When his senior brothers from the sect come asking for help, they can only envy him as he tends his own idyllic fields, with his beloved wife by his side and the villagers' affection all around him.
He cultivates and farms at the same time, with pastoral comforts in one hand and power that reaches the heavens in the other. He has no interest in being a battle god who sweeps through the city. He only wants to be Qingshan Village's guardian, living a life everyone envies.
