Steady Cultivation: Beginning with One Part Effort

The road to immortality stretches on without end. Spiritual roots are its foundation, and realms its rungs. Yet in the struggle to cross the mortal world, even the sharpest blade forged from resources is hard to overcome. After Lu Chen awakened the memories of his past life, he searched for a path to immortality for five years. At last, his chance came when the Great Xia Dynasty began testing spiritual roots. With no connections to rely on, he was assigned to the Spiritual Plant Hall in a single stroke, like a fallen leaf drifting into this famed “backbreaking labor camp” of Great Xia. The spells taught there are rudimentary because there is no use for anything more; resources are scarce because no one sees a need to provide more. Cultivators sent here spend their limited lifespans growing endless resources for Great Xia, earning no more than a drop in the ocean, insignificant as dust. Fortunately, Lu Chen possesses the talent [A Little Effort], which lets him accumulate proficiency through even the smallest tasks and turn his fate around. At first, a little effort yields a little gain; Then twofold, fivefold... even tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold! After long, long years, when the people of the world look up, they will see that the spiritual plant cultivator once dismissed as a lowly assistant has reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao. All immortals will bow before him, honoring him as the Azure Rain Immortal Lord.
