The Long and Ruthless Road

In his previous life, Tan Guichen died of a terminal illness before he was thirty. His biggest regret is that he never took a good look at the world. When he woke up, he traveled to ancient times and was bound to the immortality system - immortality was real, but he would still be hungry, in pain, and die. In other words, God only gave him infinite time, not a second life. An immortal came to the village to recruit a disciple, but he was only tested to have the most useless Five Elements Spiritual Root. Tan Guichen recognized the reality: he could not hope to become an immortal for the time being, so he should go into business to save money. Anyway, what he lacked most was time. Relying on his skills in making soap, he went from a farmer to an imperial businessman in five years, gained connections in the general's palace, and made a huge fortune. However, troubled times are approaching, the neighboring countries' armies are pressing on the border, and his best friend General Xiao is involved in a deadly battle. Tan Guichen finally started to panic: He lost the battle, how could he still carry on? By chance, he picked up an orphan with incredible talent. This child was found to have a non-attributed spiritual root, which alarmed the entire sect. Cultivating thighs is much easier than practicing on your own.
