Jiang Ye, a transmigrator with a physics background, uses experiments, engineering, and ledgers to offer a new explanation of the cultivation world. Armed with a charcoal pencil, a broken ruler, and a few discarded tools he'd picked up, he enters Duanshui Plain, where the people are on the verge of starving to death. He teaches those without spiritual roots how to draw in spiritual energy and makes green shoots sprout again in barren fields. He draws formations as flow diagrams and breaks cultivation down into steps that can be tested. Using public accounts, resource allocation, and techniques anyone can learn, he tries to establish a new system in this land, drained by the old order. Through his actions, he will break the shackles of society and build a fair community where people can live in peace and be rewarded for their labor.
