Xu Qingyuan was a hard worker. He studied diligently and took his job seriously, until he died from overwork after months of consecutive overtime shifts and transmigrated to a world of cultivation.
Without a spiritual root, he was chosen by a tiny sect of just a few people thanks to his farming and cooking skills, and even stood a chance of becoming its next sect leader.
An accident led him to open an ancient secret realm. When people discovered the soul mark on his body, they learned that the person who had left him a Dao Companion mark was Lu Yun, the youngest Nascent Soul Ancestor in the cultivation world.
Lu Yun was a legendary figure from decades ago: the foremost disciple of Jitian Sect, a heaven-gifted genius with immense cultivation.
To this day, the major sects in the cultivation world still hadn't forgotten Lu Yun, because before disappearing, he had borrowed treasures from countless sects. So many people clutched debt contracts personally signed by Lu Yun, searching for him with bloodshot eyes.
When Dao Companions are bound together, if one dies, the soul mark shatters, and the other will also perish, body and soul.
With creditors breathing down his neck, Xu Qingyuan had no choice but to cultivate hard, both to extend his own lifespan and to begin the miserable journey of paying off the debts.
Fortunately, he had a fluffy companion named Jin Liang by his side. After enduring countless hardships, the human and beast formed a blood pact, binding them to live and die together.
Then one day, Jin Liang transformed into a human, and the soul mark and blood pact on Xu Qingyuan's body merged into one. At last, Xu Qingyuan found the culprit who had been making his life miserable.
Where was the wife he had been promised?
