From a Jar of Spirit Herbs to the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm

Shu Han is a clever village boy born with the worst possible cultivation talent: five-element spiritual roots so weak that even reaching the third level of Qi Refining should be beyond him. Then he finds a mysterious black jar. Place a spirit herb inside, and the jar produces more. Stones, plants, and other natural materials can multiply without end. Pills and crafted treasures cannot—but for a boy willing to learn alchemy, talismans, and artifact refining from the ground up, an endless supply of raw materials is more than enough. There is no system to guide him and no heavenly master waiting to carry him to the summit. His sect is fragile, immortals can fall to mortals, and every treasure is an invitation to betrayal. To survive, Shu Han must hide the jar, read people carefully, turn scarcity into abundance, and squeeze every advantage from the resources others overlook. Heaven gave him defective spiritual roots. The black jar gave him a chance. The road from a mountain village to the throne of a Dao Ancestor—he will forge for himself. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: From a Jar of Spirit Herbs to the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
