Cultivating Immortality Through Alchemy in a Mirror-Bound Paradise

[Mortal cultivation] [Sensible characters] [Slow burn] [Alchemy] Lu Changqing unexpectedly arrives in the world of cultivation, awakens the wisdom of his previous life, and becomes an outer disciple of the Qi Refining Xuan family, responsible for tending its spirit fields. In his sea of consciousness, he discovers a bronze mirror that contains its own spirit fields, where time flows at an unusual rate. From then on, he lives a life of farming and alchemy. “Jade-Green Ginseng! I got one!” A low-level rogue cultivator beams with joy at the Jade-Green Ginseng he snatched from the crowd. Lu Changqing says, “Jade-Green Ginseng? I use it as a snack, like a radish.” He casually pulls one up and takes a couple of bites, looking unimpressed. “A three-hundred-year-old Golden Jade Ganoderma! I’m destined to reach Foundation Establishment!” Having fought tooth and nail to get the Golden Jade Ganoderma, the rogue cultivator gazes at it and nearly bursts with joy. “A three-hundred-year-old Golden Jade Ganoderma? There’s a whole patch of them. I thought they were weeds.” Lu Changqing looks at the great swath of spirit plants in his space and helplessly spreads his hands. “After a hundred years of searching, I’ve finally found this single branch bearing a Jia Wood Divine Lightning. With it, I can refine a divine ability and become invincible among my peers!” The great cultivator gazes delightedly at the branch before him, which bears a single Jia Wood Divine Lightning and took him a hundred years to find. Lu Changqing says, “Jia Wood Divine Lightning? You mean that whole pile? I thought it was firewood.” Lu Changqing points to a pile of branches in the corner. Every branch bears a Jia Wood Divine Lightning of devastating power! Many years later. “Looking back over the past ten thousand years, the most astonishing genius in the human realm has to be Immortal Venerable Songyue.” Hearing the rumors from the outside world, Lu Changqing smiles without a word. “Invincible, immortal... How lonely it is to stand above the world.” Looking at the extraordinary Heavenly and Earthly Spirit Roots filling his space, Lu Changqing says this.
