Cultivating Spirit Qi in a Mountain Village

In the twelfth year of the Spirit Qi Revival, one's awakening grade is one's price tag. On testing day, Shen Zhuo is judged a Zero Spirit Body—not a single spirit qi channel in his body, dead last in the whole city. He returns to Yiwanshui Village deep in the Yunnan mountains, to guard the acre of barren field and the old breathing method his grandfather left behind. Mushrooms others cannot grow—his patch of wild mountain yields them earliest and thickest; the buyer who once lowballed him turns around and begs him to sell. From village thug to local strongman in town, then to a respectable man in the county, he climbs every step of the way—and it was never talent he relied on. When the provincial ranking list comes knocking—what he wants to prove is not how strong he is, but that the ruler they use to measure people was never measuring right at all. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Cultivating Spirit Qi in a Mountain Village — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
