Transmigration: I Use the Classic of Mountains and Seas to Con People in the Wilderness

Shi Ran wakes up to find himself transmigrated into the most useless body in Stone Village of Que Mountain, in a primeval world.

At the early stage of the Skin Tempering Realm, with his father dead and his mother gone, he gets kicked around by the village boys every day.

The good news: he's brought along the complete text of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and his 100,000-word research notes.

The bad news: the locals treat spirit herbs covering the mountains as weeds, strange beasts as monsters, and sealed ruins as ghost stories.

And so, everything changes.

Squatting by a field ridge, Shi Ran pulls up a handful of grass. “This is Zhuyu. It fills you up when you eat it. You call it pig feed?”

Shi Ran points at a strange beast with tiger stripes and a red tail. “This is Lushu. It can be tamed. You call it a monster?”

Shi Ran rolls his eyes. “Fine. You don't know any better. I'll handle it.”

While others fight and kill over territory, he farms, builds roads, and sets up franchises.

While others kneel and pray to the heavens for divine help, he uses the Classic of Mountains and Seas to unravel ancient seals one by one.

The perilous secret realms of the primeval world that terrify everyone else are, to him, beginner dungeons with their coordinates already marked.

He plays the pig to eat the tiger, crushes his rivals with knowledge, and rules the wilds with nothing but a copy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

From a punching bag in Stone Village to the youngest inspector in the Nanshan Jing Alliance.

Shi Ran pats the head of the tiger-striped beast beside him and looks toward the Western Sea. “I hear there's still a final grand array in Guixu that no one's solved? Fine. I'll finish this bun and head over.”
