Lu Xunchuan transmigrates into the cultivation world and becomes a lowly rogue cultivator in Shizhu Market.
Born with a ninth-grade spiritual root, he has no hope of attaining immortality. Fortunately, "Pandora's Box" gives him just a tiny bit of help.
Every day at midnight, the items inside the box refresh, randomly turning into other items of the same grade.
So every day, Lu Xunchuan puts low-value items into the box and randomly gets back items of greater value.
He puts in a grain of fasting pill and gets a Qi-Gathering Pill.
He puts in a Cleansing Talisman and gets a Vajra Talisman.
He puts in a Greenedge Sword and gets an Arcane Ice Armor.
Every day, he turns trash into treasure.
Before he knows it, Lu Xunchuan discovers that he possesses more rare treasures than he can count.
People know only that a mysterious and unusual merchant exists in the cultivation world. They have no idea that Lu Xunchuan's wealth far surpasses that of the so-called immortal sects and aristocratic clans.
The world rises and falls, its tides ebbing and flowing.
Billions of years pass...
Countless sects and clans rise from humble beginnings, flourish, then decline and vanish into the river of time.
Countless peerless prodigies, supreme immortals, demonic overlords, and great sages of the demon race rise to prominence, then fade away and disappear one after another.
Only that mysterious and unusual merchant remains active in every corner of the cultivation world, leaving behind one legend after another.
Everyone says, "If there truly is an immortal in this world, it must be that mysterious and unusual merchant!"
