Chi Ran transmigrated to a cultivation continent where might makes right: whoever has the biggest fist is always in the right.
Chi Ran's spiritual root was excellent, but his comprehension was abysmal.
Comprehension is the foundation that determines how far one can go on the path of cultivation, whether one is a sword cultivator, a spell cultivator, or even a ghost cultivator.
The sect brought Chi Ran back like a treasure, then publicly humiliated him during the spiritual-root assessment. Only the master of Ningshuang Peak was willing to take him in, as a target whose spiritual root could be exchanged for that of his biological son.
Everyone thought Chi Ran was useless. His junior brother mocked him, his senior brother bullied him, and his master forced him to do as he pleased.
But before the immortal sects had spent a year writing Chi Ran off, he was already standing on the arena, competing for a spot among the disciples entering the secret realm. In his left hand was a seven-hole spirit flute that automatically spewed fire, and in his right was an automatically triggered ice-defense shield.
Opponent: ...How are we supposed to fight that? Why does this useless guy have so many strange but useful spirit artifacts?!
Chi Ran: Senior Brother, you've worked hard. Will you go down on your own, or should I blast you off the stage?
Chi Ran, who had been called useless for a year, silently closed his notebook, feeling refreshed.
Who was afraid of whom? The two most valuable things in the cultivation world are pills and magical artifacts, and you don't need comprehension to make either one!
Everyone in the cultivation world assumed that Chi Ran would receive special training after gaining a fortuitous opportunity. But as soon as he left the secret realm, his elders framed him. He nearly got expelled from the sect, and in the end, he had to sign a life-and-death contract to prove his innocence. After that, he disappeared for a long time, and no one knew where he went.
Decades later, Chi Ran's name had become an extreme example that anyone in the cultivation world could laugh about.
But no one expected that by the time his name came up again, he had become the dad of many of the era's most powerful cultivators.
More precisely, he was the dad of their bonded spirit artifacts.
An innocent youth whose family was wiped out, a peerless genius poisoned from within, and a Buddhist disciple raised as a human furnace all avenged themselves, rose from the ashes, and defied expectations thanks to Chi Ran's spirit artifacts and pills.
Chi Ran hadn't even lifted a finger, yet the elders who had once bullied and humiliated him had already been thoroughly taught a lesson by those new-generation powerhouses.
Those powerhouses were willing to serve Chi Ran at every turn, competing to offer him countless rare treasures, all just to ask their dad for more good stuff. But Chi Ran simply hugged the gifts and turned to hand them to the immortal lord beside him, who was holding his hand.
#Gasp, that's the other dad of the cultivation world!#
The immortal sect members who had once mocked Chi Ran: Is it too late to call him Dad now?
