Xu Zhou enters a cultivation game and becomes the most inconspicuous menial at the Qinglan Sect.
His meridians are injured from the start, he has only twelve coins in his pocket, and his name is on the list of laborers about to depart for the mines.
He recognizes that list. In the game, not one of them survives the first mining disaster.
Fortunately, he still remembers the poor man's conquest guide he spent four years researching, and the copper box in the abandoned furnace that nobody wanted.
Three Meridian-Nourishing Pills and a Meridian-Protecting Manual. Is that enough capital to carve out a way to survive an unwinnable start?
Xu Zhou saves himself first, then the companion who shared half a biscuit with him.
Then he discovers that although he saved someone, a stone chest that wasn't supposed to open yet has begun knocking from within.
His gaming experience is still with him, but every person he saves changes the course of the cultivation world before his eyes.
