With My Crippled Spiritual Root, I Want Both the Empire and the Beauties

After transmigrating to a cultivation world, Lin Yan becomes a lowly cultivator with a useless five-element spiritual root.

His fellow disciples shove him into a snow pit and leave him to die. Three years of resentment go unnoticed by everyone.

Just as he thinks he'll have to live another life as a workhorse

[Innate Myriad Transformations Dao Body successfully bound. Cultivation pushed directly to the peak of the fourth Qi Refining layer.]

But he doesn't dare get carried away. The sect has a Golden Core Patriarch, and enemies lurk beyond its gates.

All he can do is act weak, hide his abilities, and quietly build strength.

Until one day, he has a beautiful companion by his side.

Until one day, he has built his own power.

So what if he has a useless spiritual root?

Watch as he climbs out of the snow pit and gradually wins both the realm and the beauty.
