Blurb: Yun Ran was born into a farming family and was taken in by his master at Lingyun Sect. Before he could officially begin cultivating, the entire sect went off to fight the extraterrestrial demons, leaving only him and an old gatekeeper behind.
With no idea what else to do, Yun Ran started farming.
A month passed, and his master still hadn't returned. Yun Ran leveled up through farming and became a Qi Refining cultivator.
A year passed, and his master still hadn't returned. Yun Ran reached Foundation Establishment and made exquisite delicacies from spirit plants.
Five years passed, and his master still hadn't returned. Yun Ran formed his Golden Core and brewed top-quality wine from spirit plants.
Ten years passed, and his master still hadn't returned. Yun Ran farmed, planted trees, made delicious food and wine, refined medicine and forged artifacts... His days were pleasantly full.
Five hundred years passed, and his master still hadn't returned. His storage space was packed with spiritual treasures, and Yun Ran had become the strongest cultivator in the world.
Then one day, outsiders known as "players" appeared across the land. They called themselves the Fourth Calamity, and a quest panel appeared before Yun Ran... Things suddenly got interesting.
Theme: The world is full of longing, and a thousand years divide this fleeting life.
