People without spiritual roots are the roots of people with spiritual roots.
Forty-year-old farmer Li Laoshuan dug out a cracked bronze mirror from the mud of the Meichi River. In the mirror lives a remnant soul who calls himself Lu Jiangxian, saying that he has spiritual roots and can cultivate immortality - but Lao Shuan is almost fifty and his lamp is running out, so he probably won't be able to cultivate himself. The remnant soul said: If you can't cultivate it, your descendants can.
The world looks at geniuses with spiritual roots, but the Li family treats mortals without spiritual roots as their roots. For six hundred years, twelve clan leaders and thirty generations of farmers have buried themselves in the soil one after another, just to raise a purple mansion from the mud. And it all started with the cracked mirror by the Meichi River.
