Immortal Manor in the Wasteland

Beyond Qing Shan Town stood a barren mountain, home to a cowherd boy named Lin Xiaoqi. Seven years ago, he found a dusty gray gourd seed in the ruins of the Mountain God Temple and casually buried it in a corner of his yard, soon forgetting all about it. Then, on a stormy night, the seed suddenly sprouted. Its vine coiled around his wrist and pulled him into a ruined immortal residence hidden inside the gourd. From that moment on, the barren mountain was barren no more. Herbs watered by a spiritual spring flourished, wild beasts flocked to join him, and even the broken plaque from the Mountain God Temple began to glow. But Lin Xiaoqi didn’t know that the gourd seed had once been the life-bound immortal residence of a fallen mighty cultivator, and the black-clad figure who had left it in the ruins was searching the world for it.
