What happens when a young master from a declining cultivator clan decides to… be a decent human being? Zhao Ren was not a typical young master. No arrogance, no entourage, no random face‑slapping, at least not any more. He preferred to read books over throwing his weight around. Raised to turn around his family's fortunes, he struggles to live up to their lofty ideals. But man plans and the heavens laugh. Instead he found his own way to the Dao. A cultivator who likes a sustainable approach to growing herbs and leaves behind inheritances instead of looting everything not nailed down? Who even spares a thought for those who come after? Who does that? Why would you refine a precious pill and not swallow it immediately? Why would you craft spirit weapons with your hard earned, expensive ingredients without ever intending to use or sell them? Why even bother planting a tree that won’t bear fruit until long after you’re dead? This guy must be crazy! So how does he keep getting stronger?! What to expect: -Mass release initially then 1 chapter a day M-W-F. - ~2k words per chapter (Slightly longer first chapter) -Slightly more farming, crafting and slice-of-life than most xianxias -MC doesn't discover his own path until Ch 10 so be patient -Gradually accumulating power growth. -No Harem
