    In ancient times, a great war between immortals and demons ravaged the South Lake Continent, polluting it with demonic energy. The land became barren, and harvests plummeted, with most crops yielding less than a hundred catties per mu (approximately 0.16 Acres). Famine decimated the continent's population, and even the most powerful cultivators fought fiercely for food. Then, in the Middle Ages, a genius human cultivator had a sudden inspiration and created a completely new cultivation system: cultivating spiritual fields within one's body. He called this system "agricultural cultivation." After the agricultural cultivation system spread, the food shortage problem was finally alleviated. Today, agricultural cultivation has become one of the mainstream cultivation systems in this world. The protagonist, Zhang Bao, transmigrates here and becomes an agricultural cultivator on Tianzi Mountain. The story begins here.

    I highly recommend this new fantasy cultivation novel! It's incredibly good! The characters are vividly portrayed, the plot is meticulously crafted, and the fight scenes are spectacular. The development of the male and female protagonists' story is particularly brilliant; the author's design is simply superb. If you like fantasy, you absolutely must follow the protagonist on a thrilling cultivation journey. You'll regret it if you don't! [Smirking face][smirking face][cool face]
