Tian Shi considered himself an ordinary office drone. Who would have guessed that one day, riding a wave of good luck and catching the latest trend, he would be born into an obscure dynasty and become a farmer in a remote mountain village?

Farming was incredibly hard. He was covered in dust every day and worked himself half to death, but at least life was steady and honest.

They say you can live off the mountains when you live near them. Just as he was getting used to his new life, cultivators showed up in their village to recruit disciples!

Everyone said cultivation was wonderful: first, you never had to worry about clothes; second, you never went hungry. But Tian Shi knew the cultivation world was a dangerous den of wolves where people were impossible to read. With his intelligence, he was bound to lose his life sooner or later.

But fate had other plans. He had the fortune to cultivate, tested positive for a spirit root, and was dragged into a sect to become an immortal sect disciple.

They say money makes the world go round, and the cultivation world was no exception. Without spirit stones, you simply couldn't get by.

Luckily, he was quick on the uptake. But just as he was about to embark on his grand journey to get rich, he stumbled into a small secret realm by chance.

Fortune and misfortune went hand in hand. He discovered that the inferior jade on his person could open a pocket dimension, and in the secret realm he also found a sword cultivator who was gravely injured.

The sword cultivator was not only strikingly handsome and coolly elegant, but also a wealthy second-generation cultivator.

Tian Shi had a sudden thought.
