Farming with Qi

A thousand years ago, cultivators split mountains, spirit beasts ruled the skies… and then qi vanished, taking legends with it. In the modern Age of Qi-Tech, mortals build cars, not swords, and cultivation exists only in bedtime stories. Then there’s Ren Kai — broke, stressed, and just trying to keep his family’s orchard alive. One unlucky pebble to the head changes everything. Suddenly, Ren Kai can control qi — a power the world thought lost forever. Immortality? Legendary sects? World-shaking battles? Nah. Ren Kai has better things to do. Like growing perfect spirit pears, making his flowers so radiant they blind merchants, and raising two overpowered idiot dogs who may or may not start glowing at night. Life was supposed to be simple: farm, nap, snack, repeat. But with ancient treasures resurfacing, nosy villagers gossiping, and a power that refuses to stay hidden… peace might be the hardest crop Ren Kai has ever tried to grow. A cozy, hilarious, and heartwarming slice‑of‑life cultivation story about a “reluctant OP farmer” just trying to live his best chill life.
