Lying Low in the Cultivation World: Diligence Makes Up for Talent

Mu Jiuxiao is a tenant farmer at the very bottom of the cultivation world. He owns no grand inheritance, commands no powerful bloodline, and possesses spiritual roots so poor that even entering the first stage of Qi Refining seems beyond his reach. What he does have is a talent called Diligence Makes Up for Deficiency. Practice a cultivation art for ten years, and both his aptitude and training speed improve. Grow spirit rice for a century, and an ordinary crop can become a heavenly treasure. Raise spirit beasts long enough, and even the proudest among them will bow their heads. Every technique practiced, every field tended, and every humble skill repeated can become extraordinary—provided he survives long enough to see the results. So Mu Jiuxiao does not chase reckless opportunities or compete with heaven’s chosen. He farms, saves, studies, hides his strength, and advances one careful step at a time. In a world where a single treasure can invite murder and the weak are treated as little more than livestock, patience is not cowardice. It is the foundation of immortality. Others are born geniuses. Mu Jiuxiao intends to become one through sheer persistence. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Lying Low in the Cultivation World: Diligence Makes Up for Talent — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
