Hiding in the Talisman Academy to Cultivate Longevity

Chen Mo wakes up in a cultivation world where his childhood sweetheart has entered an immortal sect, and his former peers have either returned to the mortal realm or become son-in-law dependents for aristocratic immortal families. Saddled with heavy debts, he finds himself trapped as an insignificant laborer in a talisman workshop within Linglong Square, spending his days drawing talismans and his nights gathering spiritual energy. Unbeknownst to anyone, he possesses a symbiotic "Longevity Tree" within his body. Residing quietly in the talisman workshop for years, he uses the passage of time as nourishment, silently waiting for various Dao fruits to ripen. The first Dao fruit falls and manifests as a stat panel, granting permanent mastery. The second Dao fruit enables the deduction and advancement of cultivation techniques and spells. The third Dao fruit enhances his spiritual roots. Starting from a low-tier rank-one talisman master, he finds beauties throwing themselves into his arms and confidantes by his side. From humble beginnings, he wields his brush to paint a scroll of eternal longevity spanning through the ages. He has no need to contend with the heavens for his destiny—he lets time itself become his Dao.
