A poor and ordinary boy from a village joins a minor sect in Jiang Hu and becomes an Unofficial Disciple by chance. How will Han Li, a commoner by birth, establish a foothold for himself in his sect?

With his mediocre aptitude, how will he successfully traverse the path of cultivation and become an immortal? This is a story of an ordinary mortal who, against all odds, clashes with devilish demons and the ancient celestials in order to find his own path to immortality.

Plot

Han Li, a poor and ordinary boy who came from an ordinary mountain village, was recommended by his relatives to join the local Jianghu sect Qixuanmen. He was chosen by the sect elder Mo Juren to become his disciple. He practiced the formula called “Changchun Gong” every day.

During this period, he discovered the suspiciousness of his master as his companions disappeared. In addition, he accidentally got a green medicine bottle that could catalyze herbs, and saved his sect brother Li Feiyu and became his confidant.

One day, he had a showdown with his master and was accidentally defeated. He should have been killed by his poisonous hands, but he survived by chance. After learning from his collaborator Yu Zitong that he had mastered a set of immortal cultivation skills and the truth about Mo Juren, he killed him.

He wanted to regain his freedom, but after reading his master’s suicide note, he found that the poison he had been given had not been completely solved, and he had to travel far to find his family to get the real antidote.

After learning about this, Han Li decided to fulfill his master’s last wish to save himself, and since then he has embarked on the road of immortal cultivation.

The realm of cultivating immortality

The realm of immortal cultivators is divided into 8 realms: Refining Qi, foundation building, Dan formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit transformation, Void training, Body fusion, and Mahayana (only applicable to this book, the sequel “Immortal World” has higher realms). Except for Qi training, each realm is divided into initial, intermediate, late and great perfection.

Prologue

“Second Fool” opened his eyes and stared at the mud and thatch roof over his head. The quilt covering his body was a deep yellow color and had a musty smell. It was so old that its original color could no longer be distinguished.

Next to him lay his second brother, Han Zhu, who appeared to be in a deep slumber. Snores intermittently floated over as he slept.

Five feet from the bed was an earthen wall that had suffered from numerous cracks due to the passage of time. From the other side of the wall came the nagging voice of his mother and the occasional deep breathing of his father who was smoking his pipe.

Second Fool slowly closed his eyes, trying to force himself to sleep. He knew that if he didn’t go to sleep now, he wouldn’t be able to wake up early the next day. If he woke up late, he would not be able to go up to the mountains with his good friends to gather firewood.

Second Fool’s real name was Han Li. This elegant name was not given to him by his parents. When he was born, his parents had offered two pieces of cornbread to the village’s Elder Zhang in exchange for giving the baby Han Li a second name.

When Uncle Zhang was young, he had attended school with the wealthy children in the city. As he was the only one in the village who knew how to read a few words, more than half of the children in the village were named by him.

Han Li was called “Second Fool” by those in the village. Despite his name, he wasn’t stupid looking or foolish. On the contrary, he was actually the smartest person in the village. But just like the other children, aside from when they were home, nobody called him by his official name “Han Li”. Instead, they called him by his pet name “Second Fool”.

The reason why he was nicknamed “Second Fool” was due to the fact that there was already someone named “Fool” in the village.

This type of nickname was nothing. There were children in the village named “Doggy” and “Dumb Egg”. These names weren’t nearly as pleasant-sounding as “Second Fool”.

Because of this, Han Li felt some consolation even though he was not very fond of his nickname.

Physically, Han Li was very ordinary. He was tan and matched the generic descriptions of a child born in a farming community. Deep in his heart however, he had matured faster than others of the same age. Ever since he was young, he had yearned that one day, he would be able to leave his small village and explore the fertile lands of the outside world that Uncle Zhang had always talked about.
