Immortality Begins with the Hundred Herbs Classic

Lu You awakens one day to find himself transmigrated into a world of immortal cultivation, where he ekes out a living as a mere herb-gathering loose cultivator in a market town. Without a fortuitous encounter, the realm of Foundation Establishment will forever remain beyond his reach. Fortunately, a mystical heavenly text known as the Hundred Herbs Classic manifests within his mind, granting him the power to catalog every plant under heaven. By tending to the Golden Pearl Grass in its preferred shade and moisture, he can reduce its growth cycle by thirty percent; by enriching the spiritual soil with cold yin water, root chill jade, spirit stones, and serpent-fish beast kidneys, he cuts it by another forty percent. Regular application of the Minor Raincloud Art trims it further, and raising golden-armored beetles to form a symbiotic bond accelerates it even more. When the grass finally matures, combining it with elemental magnetic stones, black iron ore, dream sand, and the forging formula for any attack-type magical artifact gives him a ten percent chance of refining a lower-grade Magnetic Heavy Flying Pearl. In time, the Moon Dew Grass matures as well—buried alongside three-spirit grass, fire star stones, weasel-fruit, and spitting silkworms in the spiritual field, then paired with any pill-refining art that boosts cultivation, it may yield the coveted Moon Dew Pill. Step by step, Lu You enters the Dao through the vital energy of plants and herbs, awakening Medicine Fire and Annual Ring Sword Qi, planting magical treasures and elixirs alike, and at last setting foot upon the boundless road to eternal life.
