Mortals cultivate immortality: Mortal grass turns into spiritual grass, and miscellaneous spiritual roots eventually become Taoist masters

Wu Feng grew up in a small mountain village in the Sui Dynasty’s state of Yan. His aptitude for cultivation was unremarkable, and he was by nature cautious and deliberate. By chance, he came into possession of a Xuanqing lamp, a rare treasure that compensated for his lack of natural talent. With its help, he began the slow and difficult practice of qi refinement. As his journey unfolded, he traveled across the many continents of the mortal world, accompanied by spiritual pets who fought beside him and heroines with whom he shared deep bonds. Though he faced mortal danger more than once, opportunity always walked alongside peril. His cultivation progressed through the stages of qi refinement, foundation building, and core formation, eventually reaching the peak of the mortal realm at the Nascent Soul stage. In time, he settled the grievances that bound him to the human world, ascended to the spiritual realm, and there found the partner he had lost, making a pact with a snow shadow in that higher world. The story spans the ordinary mortal world from beginning to end, moving between the immortal and the mundane, a dream of cultivation lasting a thousand years, a search for the way, and a final farewell spoken in countless words.
