Spirit-Nourished Path: A Mortal's Defiant Ascent

Born with a crippled five-spirit root, Shen Yanqiu should have remained a nameless nobody in a world where cultivation talent is everything. But when his dying mother's fate hangs by a thread, this young man from Qingniu Village ventures into the deadly Luohun Ravine—and awakens an ancient heirloom that changes everything. The Spirit-Nourishing Jade offers him a chance the heavens denied: to walk the brutal path of mortal cultivation where every breakthrough is earned through blood, sweat, and unyielding will.
