Cultivating Common Sense In A Xianxia World

There are no Sects. There are no Elders. There are no Systems. There are no Cheats.

I've read three hundred cultivation novels. I know exactly how this is supposed to go — find a cave, discover an ancient manual, join a sect, climb the ranks, avoid dangerous jade beauties, and punch a god.

None of that exists here.

Sects haven't been built yet.

I wasn't lucky enough to be given a snarky System to track my progression.

I wasn't given a golden finger to bypass my lack of talent.

I instead, was transmigrated into a fifteen-year-old farmer's body in a world where cultivation is unregulated and nobody has figured out how to master it, let alone teach it.

I'm in a world full of warlords conscripting farmers into meat grinders and cultivators operating like weapons of mass destruction.

Yea, this isn't the transmigration I was hoping for. I need to throw all the tropes I've read out of the window, because I am in a predicament that no one else has ever been in before.

But on the bright side, I can now introduce some Common Sense into this world.
