I Pat the Immortal on the Head and Take Him as My Disciple

Fang Zhengtong worked himself to death after another all-nighter. Just as he was wondering whether he had become a “quantum particle” or some kind of “weird” entity, a mysterious big shot suddenly appeared… And so Fang Zhengtong transmigrated, and our story began… On the Donglai Peninsula, where everyone lives in fear, a lowly outer disciple on Weizhou Island struggles to get by, measuring the hearts of those around him at every turn as he faces death head-on. The wind starts at the tips of duckweed; waves rise from the faintest ripples. A gentleman should keep himself between the tree and the wild goose, ready to transform like a dragon or snake. He should keep his abilities hidden and wait for the right moment, appearing dull to others while honing his edge… Yet that alone is nowhere near enough… Wherever people gather, there is a world of intrigue; wherever cultivators gather, there is conflict… Thus, one has no choice but to measure the hearts of others… Then… “My fellow cultivator and I are strangers. If you want to live, offer me your loyalty…” Come and see how a lowly cultivator measures the hearts of others, wields a three-foot blade, rises to become a Dao Ancestor, and achieves deeds that will endure for all ages!!! (Decisive and ruthless, no System, no saintly protagonist, slow-paced, behind-the-scenes scheming, ensemble cast…)
