The Sword Cultivator Switched to Farming

Just as there’s a saying in the mortal realm that child prodigies end up becoming monks, there’s a saying in the cultivation world, too. Talents of moderate brilliance join the Beidou Sword Sect; talents of excessive brilliance join the Jingyan Sect. Shu Tingyu was originally a talent of moderate brilliance. She joined the Beidou Sword Sect, and amid her fellow disciples’ cutthroat competition, she accidentally reached enlightenment and became a talent of excessive brilliance. She told her master, “Master, I’ve made up my mind. I want to join the Buddhist path.” Her master took her on a tour of the Jingyan Sect. When they returned, he asked, “Still want to join?” Shu Tingyu: “...No. I’ll cultivate at home.” Master: “Mm, that works too.” Shu Tingyu opened a plot of land on the little mountain where she lived and started farming. A Sword Venerable from another sect came to visit and said to her master, “This kid’s a lost cause.” Master: “If she’s a lost cause, then so be it. Sword cultivators getting beaten into a sorry state is nothing unusual.” Shu Tingyu enjoyed farming so much that she started livestreaming on the Immortal Net. She named her account “Day N of Giving Up Sword Cultivation to Farm.” Sect Leader: “Sword Venerable, your disciple is bringing shame on the sect.” Master: “As a sword cultivator, if someone mocks you, you should draw your sword and stab them.” Shu Tingyu drew her sword and went straight for a strike. Master: “Hey! (Proudly) That’s a sword cultivator from the Beidou Sword Sect.” Shu Tingyu sparked a farming craze throughout the cultivation world and became its number one influencer. Someone brazen enough actually dared to demand that the Beidou Sword Sect use Shu Tingyu in a political marriage. Master: (Pats her) Draw your sword and stab them. Shu Tingyu drew her sword and struck at once. Master: “Aha. (Proudly) That’s a sword cultivator from our Beidou Sword Sect.” A laid-back novel, extremely laid-back and utterly unambitious. If you’re a workaholic, swipe past. If you insist the female lead must rely only on herself and not on her master, friends, or sect, swipe past, too. Female lead: “I got into the sect through my own ability and became his disciple through my own ability. You’re upset that I’m enjoying the shade under a big tree?” The master is an elder, so don’t have any strange ideas about him (...). The female lead may get a boyfriend, so this is labeled romance. If she doesn’t, I’ll arrange a few relationships for her. Theme: Take care of your health when it’s time to do so
