Lu Li is a poor mountain boy with no family, no status, and seemingly no future on the path of immortality.

Kidnapped by a rogue cultivator and forced to serve as a human test subject for dangerous pills, he survives long enough to awaken his spiritual roots—only to discover that he possesses nine of them, a talent so poor that others say he will never advance beyond the lowest stage of cultivation.

But hidden within his body is the Three Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Inside lies a mysterious space where spiritual herbs can flourish, rare resources can be nurtured, and time itself becomes his greatest advantage. With the pagoda, Lu Li can grow medicine, refine pills, raise spirit beasts, craft talismans, and study formations. What he cannot obtain through talent, he will earn through patience, caution, and relentless preparation.

There is no system to guide him and no powerful clan to protect him. Every treasure invites greed. Every opportunity conceals a trap. To climb from an insignificant mortal to the summit of the immortal world, Lu Li must bargain, scheme, flee, fight, and seize every chance before someone stronger takes it from him.

The world sees a cultivator with the worst possible spiritual roots.

It does not see the immortal fate growing inside his pagoda.
