Mortal Cultivator: Farming and Laying Low in the Pill Palace on the Path to Immortality

(A mortal’s journey + cautious cultivation + farming + transmigration + decisive action + no heroine + satisfying progression + single-minded pursuit of the Great Dao + the path to immortality + the human realm + the spirit realm + the immortal realm.) A blood moon omen and an unremarkable strange stone sent modern-day Wang Chen across two realms, dropping him into a bitterly cold land swept by snow and wind. His predecessor had been robbed of his family property by his own brother and sister-in-law, then frozen to death outside his door. His overwhelming hatred had seeped into his bloodline. Wang Chen inherited everything, including an ancient alchemy estate brought forth by the strange stone. The estate carried on the legacy of an Alchemy Sage, and its spirit fields held limitless wonders. It was Wang Chen’s greatest trump card as he journeyed through the world of cultivation. His attempt at revenge was exposed, and he crossed paths with Shen Yunchuan, a cultivator of many years’ standing. After several rounds of verbal sparring, Wang Chen narrowly escaped with his life, only to find himself in an even stranger predicament. The Nine-Spirit Root appeared, making him a textbook example of everything wrong with the cultivation world. Yet Shen Yunchuan chose him as a disciple all the same. Wang Chen knew there had to be a conspiracy behind it: special cultivation arts, a thousand-year-old spirit ginseng, a chance to establish his foundation... Every move his master made pushed him toward an unknown abyss, even deliberately planting a heart demon in him in an attempt to bring him completely under control. On one side was a master-disciple path concealing murderous intent; on the other, an ancient alchemy estate with limitless potential. Moving cautiously at every step, never knowing what was true, amid schemes and counter-schemes, could this boy burdened with a useless spirit root hold on to his opportunities, break free of his shackles, and forge his own path to immortality?
