Qin Huai transmigrates to a fantasy world overrun by demons, where heroes rise on every side. He has no backing and no aptitude for cultivation. Then one day, he becomes an apprentice at an apothecary and begins cultivating alongside his fellow disciples.
He discovers that experience orbs are dropping from his master and senior disciples.
He grinds medicine with the other apprentices.
"Ding! [Medicine Craft] experience +3!"
His master and senior disciples practice martial arts.
"Ding! You picked up a [Qi-Nourishing Art Essence (White)]! [Qi-Nourishing Art] experience +3!"
When he kills bandits, he even picks up the cultivation techniques they practiced.
"Ding! [Breath Concealment Art] experience +13!"
His master says the Qi-Nourishing Art is poor at offense and has a cultivation limit, but can prolong one's life.
But when Qin Huai picks up enough experience to force the Qi-Nourishing Art all the way to level fifty, his qi roars like a true dragon, and his pushes crash like raging waves. He can attack and defend with equal skill.
People say that two cultivation techniques will clash, and trying to practice them both will make you explode and die.
But by picking up experience, Qin Huai skips the cultivation process and masters techniques in one go, without any side effects!
As Qin Huai cultivates more and more techniques, he suddenly discovers that they interact within his body, evolving into even stronger skills.
Able to pick up experience, Qin Huai begins moving among the various factions.
He sees white bones sprout flesh, bringing the dead back to life.
He sees demons cooking tens of thousands of people, their baleful aura soaring to the heavens.
He sees Buddha statues chanting sutras in temples, their sacred tones like spells.
Qin Huai quietly picks up experience, hoping to find a place for himself in this chaotic age.
