Farming My Way to Ascension in the Cultivation World

Zhou Nian wakes up on his anniversary to discover that he has transmigrated, and become the lowest-ranking spirit farmer disciple of Xuanxiao Sect.

Every day, he gets up at dawn and works until dusk, growing spirit grain and tending spirit herbs. He toils under the wind and sun, exhausted as an old ox.

While others cultivate to fly through the skies and burrow into the earth, he cultivates by swinging a hoe faster than everyone else.

Luckily, there’s a way out. He unexpectedly discovers that he has a portable space, rich in spiritual energy, where anything he plants grows, and time passes faster!

Now, while others toil for ten years to grow spirit herbs, he can harvest a crop every year, and the quality is top-notch!

Through farming his way to wealth, Zhou Nian quietly saves spirit stones, downs pills, and watches his cultivation soar. He goes from an invisible nobody in the outer sect to an elite of the inner sect.

But... why does that cold-faced sword cultivator senior brother, Shen Linyi, keep showing up while he’s farming?

The first time they meet, Shen Linyi flies past on his sword and catches sight of Zhou Nian furtively swapping out spirit plants in the fields. His gaze turns cold. “What are you doing?”

Zhou Nian’s hand trembles. “...Fertilizing?”

The second time, Zhou Nian is secretly gathering spirit herbs in a secret realm. He turns around to find Shen Linyi leaning against a tree with his arms crossed, wearing a knowing smile. “A spirit farmer disciple came looking for opportunities, too?”

Zhou Nian gives an awkward laugh. “...Just passing by. Purely passing by.”

The Nth time, Shen Linyi simply blocks the entrance to Zhou Nian’s cave abode and says coolly, “Give me half the spirit herbs in your space.”

Zhou Nian is stunned. “How do you know I have a space?!”

Shen Linyi calmly draws his sword. “Now you know.”

Zhou Nian: “...”

What happened to sword cultivators being aloof? How is he even more money-grubbing than Zhou Nian?

Reader's Guide:

1. A farming-to-wealth spirit farmer shou x a scheming, money-grubbing sword cultivator gong.

2. Old-school setting, with a portable-space cheat and the principle of keeping a low profile.

3. A million-word cultivation epic with a long buildup and steady progression. The law of the jungle applies: strength is everything.

4. Cultivation realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation.

5. The gong has a reason for asking for spirit herbs. He isn't stealing the shou's hard-earned harvest.
