After My Golden Core Was Stolen, I Awakened the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root

Betrayed on the day of his breakthrough, Chen Si watched his master—the one who raised him—rip out his newly formed golden core and claim it for himself. Left for dead with his cultivation shattered, Chen Si escapes to a remote market town where he discovers an unexpected gift: the legendary Heaven and Earth Spirit Root. Now he can cultivate spirit plants and absorb their essence to rebuild his power from nothing. While his treacherous master believes him destroyed, Chen Si quietly farms, grows stronger, and prepares for the day he'll reclaim everything that was stolen.
