Is It Possible That Farming Is The Real Cultivation Of Immortals?

An Jia stared at the hoe in his hand. Callouses throbbed on his palms—the price for hours spent digging in the spiritual fields. He wiped sweat from his brow and surveyed the rows of fledgling spirit plants.

Was this truly the path of cultivation?

An image flashed in his mind, of an ancient scroll depicting a warrior mid-slash. Naqi Slash—the ultimate sword technique. An Jia swung the hoe, picturing it as a gleaming sword slicing the air. Could the motions of farming conceal peerless martial arts?

His gaze fell on the hatchet at his belt. Legend told of immortal weapons awakening after being bathed in the blood of a thousand foes. An Jia smiled wryly. Shedding sap, perhaps, but not blood. Although...the hatchet's worn handle fit his grip like an extension of his own arm. And hadn't Elder Mun claimed common tools could reveal their true power?

An Jia shook his head, dispelling fanciful thoughts. Cultivation through farming? Ha! Still, as he resumed his work, a whisper of doubt remained. What if the mundane hid unexpected wonders? The soil offered no answers, but An Jia found himself watching the hatchet with new eyes. Just in case.

—————Translator's notes—————

Hi. I'm translating this chinese novel as a hobby. I tried my best to fix the bad machine-translation. However, don't expect me to fix the storyline or plot elements. And do watch out for abrupt scene changes without any transition—that's just how the original author wrote it.
