Immortal Cultivation: From Weeding a Barren Field to Longevity

Lin Mo is the only immortal in the cultivation world, yet he has not the slightest strength.

Qi Refining cultivators beat him like a punching bag, Foundation Establishment cultivators turn him into a living specimen for study, and Golden Core cultivators use him to test their medicines.

Three hundred years later, amid the ruins of a destroyed sect, he finds a jade slip beneath the charred statue of its patriarch.

When the words “Withering and Flourishing Scripture” come into view, Lin Mo finally smiles.

So immortality was not the source of the curse. Weakness was.

Withering and flourishing: the cycle governing all plants and living things.

When he wakes from his coma, Elder Chen says, “Uh... you... you actually... used this old man’s... toad cauldron... to refine shit... You’ve ruined my reputation!”

Lin Mo looks at Elder Chen’s work, The Chen Family Handbook, crossed out and replaced with Daily Furnace Explosions. “A toad furnace? Reputation? That thing explodes louder than a fart. Its walls have cracks wide enough to fit a finger, the lid has a chunk missing, and none of its three legs are the same length. How could anything made in it possibly smell good?”

The veteran scene-stealer in the corner, Withering Grass: “It actually smells great.”
