Lin Zhou, a college student who just wanted to lie flat, transmigrates into the lowest-ranked laborer in a cultivation sect and is pushed to the brink of death from the start.
Luckily, his axe has become a spirit.
Chop down a tree, and all kinds of things randomly drop: pills, cultivation manuals, spirit artifacts, spirit stones. If he's lucky, he might even get half a piping-hot roast chicken.
Others cultivate by relying on talent. He cultivates by chopping trees. By day, he plants spirit trees in the spirit-garden; by night, he slings his axe over his shoulder and chops them down. A sharp-tongued artifact spirit trades barbs and sabotages him, his quiet roommate kills with a single sword strike, the bullying steward gets run out in front of everyone, and the outer-sect disciples who come to extort protection money end up on their knees begging for mercy.
But the more trees Lin Zhou chops down, the more he discovers the world's true secret…
