Synopsis

While everyone else crowded into the Azure Wood and Sharp Gold districts, Liang Jinxian held his ground in the back hills of Cen Earth, not budging an inch.

A former office drone transmigrates into the world of immortal cultivation. He doesn't seek powerful techniques or eternal life; all he wants is a steady meal. Lost in the mountains, he lands a job at Zhaoyue Sect. His remark, “I heard you provide meals here,” leaves the manager speechless.

In a desperate spot on a cliff, he awakens a soul-origin pocket dimension where supplies stay fresh forever. He later meets Feituan, a young ancient Iron-Eating Beast. The two lazybones hit it off immediately and spend their days gathering all kinds of food.

When a secret realm opens, the prodigies fight over divine weapons and cultivation techniques, while Liang Jinxian keeps his head down and gathers spirit vegetables and fresh fruit. When the passage collapses and everyone runs out of food, he brings out his huge stockpile and feeds half the cultivators in the realm.

Elder Wuchen repeatedly comes to the back hills to recruit him and urge him to practice the sword. Workaholic Chu Yian repeatedly loses his composure after being unwittingly enlightened by Liang's casual remarks. The Blackwind Saintess keeps trying to challenge him, but one mishap after another prevents them from fighting.

People spend their whole lives chasing brilliance and immortality. Lying in the back hills, Liang Jinxian slowly comes to understand:

There is no need to race to the front on the Great Dao. Keep still, conceal your talents, and live freely. That is the immortality meant for him.
