You Mocked My Mixed Spirit Root? I Became Immortal with a Spirit Gourd—Why Are You Crying Now?

Also known as The Spirit-Gathering Immortal Gourd. Chen Huai'an, a mortal scholar from Locust Tree Village, only qualified to take the spiritual aptitude test because his fiancee, Su Wanying, had a top-grade spiritual root. His own was a mixed Five Elements root, and everyone mocked him as a good-for-nothing with a spiritual root so useless it was one in ten thousand years.

The Su family thought he would hold back the genius Su Wanying and impede her cultivation, so they broke off the engagement. His uncle even tried to kill him, and while fleeing his pursuers, Chen plunged off a sheer cliff!

As Chen Huai'an lay dying, the purple-skinned gourd left behind by his father recognized him as its master and saved his life. Inside it was a miraculous pocket dimension!

By a twist of fate, he also joined the Qingyun Sect. His former fiancee was the sect leader's exalted personal disciple, while he became the lowest-ranking servant disciple. Others looked down on his poor aptitude and bleak prospects for immortality, and targeted him at every turn.

Little did they know that the spirit gourd contained a world of its own and could gather spiritual energy. Ordinary spring water could be transformed into spiritual spring water. He could grow medicinal herbs into thousand-year-old spirit medicines, and refine low-grade spirit stones into high-grade ones. With these advantages, he amassed vast cultivation resources and grew wealthy beyond measure.

The Su family, who had once cast him aside like trash, and his fellow disciples, who had sneered at him, watched him rapidly establish his foundation, form his core, shatter the void, and ascend to the peak of the immortal realm despite being a good-for-nothing. They all regretted it bitterly, weeping in despair.

Chen Huai'an merely stroked the purple-skinned gourd at his waist and smiled faintly. "You once looked down on my mixed Five Elements root? Now I've proven the Dao and become an immortal with this gourd. What good is crying about it now?"
