Lan Rui was just an overworked office worker struggling to meet deadlines,until one fateful day, his life was cut short by a sudden heart attack. But death wasn’t the end. Instead, he woke up in a mysterious cultivation world, inhabiting the body of a failed cultivator who had nearly perished due to Qi Deviation.

Now, in the vast Cloud Market, a city built atop a powerful Second Rank spirit vein, Lan Rui must navigate the treacherous path of cultivation. His new identity is that of a low-tier Qi Refining Realm cultivator, living in the outer area, where only the weakest Loose Cultivators reside. With mediocre talent but an unexpected advantage, a floating game-like status panel. He must find a way to rise above his circumstances.

Can he defy fate and break free from the shackles of mediocrity? Or will he remain stuck at the bottom of the cultivation world, forever struggling to survive?

In a realm where only the strong thrive, Lan Rui’s journey to immortality begins!

Worn and Torn of Immortal Cultivation World

But there is another matter to ponder...

[Spirit Roots]: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth

[Realm]: Third Layer Qi Refining Realm (99/100)

[Cultivation Technique]: Five Elements Cultivation (Beginner Level 121/200)

[Techniques]: Cleaning Technique (Beginner Level 79/200), Earth Pillowing Technique (Minor Achievement 12/300), Cloud Rain Technique (Minor Achievement 45/300), Entanglement Technique (Beginner Level 1/200), Geng Metal Finger (Beginner Level 32/200)

[Skills]:First Order Talisman Master: Cleaning Talisman (Beginner Level 192/200), Light Shield Talisman (Beginner Level 12/200)

Yup, you guessed right this game-like, weird-ass panel is floating right in front of me. At first, I was afraid someone else might see it, but it turns out...

I'm the only one who can. My lifespan is actually quite good, considering I'm just a low-tier Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

Normally, a lifespan of 120 years only applies to those who reach the peak of the 9th Layer of Qi Refining or Qi Refining Completion.

They are just a step away from becoming Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, but the gap is like a towering wall,one that stops more than ninety percent of Qi Refining cultivators.

As for my spirit root, it's clearly a Five Elements False Spirit Root. My cultivation technique, the Five Elements Cultivation Technique. The Technique actually has a profound origin.

It was created by none other than the Nascent Soul cultivator, Wǔxíng True Monarch who also has Five Elements False spirit root.("Wǔxíng" means Five Elements). Inspired by him, countless cultivators sought to practice this technique.

But reality is cruel, after Wǔxíng True Monarch died, no one in the entire Eastern Continent has ever attained even a fraction of his level with this particular cultivation technique.

Still, because it is one of the most balanced cultivation techniques and ideal for laying an early solid foundation, many cultivators continue to practice it.

It's also the most easy to get as most shop and stall will just give it to you for free or only one spirit stone for just a symbolic gesture of selling.

As for my techniques, most of them belonged to the original owner of this body, and they are...

Well, mostly suited for farming. Oh, and yes the original owner was also a Talisman Master.

Well, more like a talisman maker struggling to make a living.

But thanks to that, he was able to survive by selling his handmade talismans.

As for the Comprehension Points (CP), I still have no clue what they do.
