[Villain] [Golden Finger] [Ordinary Mortal] [Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger] [Record of the Wind]
The mortal world is a furnace, and all living things are like grass.
Xu Nuo was the most unremarkable blade of grass: raised in an orphanage, he had delivered food before he transmigrated. Afterward, he hauled water, chopped wood, copied books, and saved up pills.
He had no talent for cultivation, no connections, and eight rings locked around his dantian.
Everyone in the Nine Provinces had a jade slip, and inside every jade slip lived the Record of the Wind.
It recorded only major events in the world, only events that had already happened. It did not judge good or evil, nor did it ask whether something was true or false.
When a sect was destroyed, it made a note. When a dynasty was torn apart by power struggles, it made a note.
When a registered disciple of Qingfeng Valley reached the middle stage of Qi Refining just over a month after entering the sect, it made a note too.
"A registered disciple of Qingfeng Valley reached the middle stage of Qi Refining just over a month after joining."
This was not the first time he had made the list.
Before he entered the valley, the Record of the Wind had already made a note about him:
"In Qingshi Village, a boy killed a mounted soldier with one blow of his staff."
Every time the Record of the Wind sounded, more people across the land remembered his name.
The powers above were tracking his cultivation, the bookkeeper was keeping track of his days, and the Black Riders were searching for him.
Xu Nuo only wanted to stay alive.
But he knew better than anyone: people remembered by the whole world usually did not live long.
Now, the people who wanted him dead had already started lining up.
