Lu Xiao transmigrated to a savage continent with the brother he'd grown up with since they wore split-crotch pants. His good buddy's whereabouts are unknown, and he's become a spirit pet no bigger than a mouse. His only option is to cling to the Demon Ancestor and mooch food and lodging at her place.
His golden benefactor really is powerful. Even the tiniest scraps she lets slip help him skip ten years of hard work. The only downside is that she has a rather uncivilized hobby that often makes him stamp his feet in anger.
Fortunately, while searching for his brother, he discovers he has a talent for growing spirit herbs. He starts out selling spirit herbs and opening a shop among the beastfolk, then establishes trade routes with the demon, human, spirit, and ghost clans. Before he knows it, he has become a big shot with a grip on the savage continent's most vital resources.
[Transmigration + power progression + slow burn + worldbuilding + wild ideas + xianxia fantasy] The previous title and blurb were a joke. Feel free to save this up and binge it later. Most importantly, everything is handmade, with no AI. The writing style might be a little similar to other works, but I'll change it in my next book. Feel free to share any suggestions.
Note: This is an original idea. Any similarities are purely coincidental. Please read with an open mind ❤️
