    Are you still tired of the same old "mortal cultivation" novels where the protagonist starts with only four or five spiritual roots? Are you frustrated by the constant attempts by masters to possess the protagonist, even those with pseudo-spiritual roots? Are you speechless at the constant attempts to kill the protagonist with a system novel? I feel the same way, so I want to bring you a different kind of "mortal cultivation" novel! Transcending tribulations to cultivate immortality, boundless power!!! Genre: Mortal cultivation, survivalist cultivation, high-grade spiritual roots, no system, cunning, rigorous logic, farming elements to be added later.
