A Cautious Servant

Lin Chang, a young boy with the rare but mediocre Five Elements Spirit Root, transmigrates into a world governed by immortal cultivation. Born into a powerful sect, he begins his life as an orphaned servant—seemingly ordinary, with no remarkable talents to speak of. However, Lin Chang harbors a secret.

At the tender age of one, Lin awakens the memories of his past life and discovers the Lifespan System—an extraordinary cheat that allows him to harvest the lifeforce of plants, beasts, and even cultivators. But he doesn't use it recklessly. Quiet, calculating, and patient, Lin Chang bides his time. While others toil for power, Lin watches carefully, knowing that the path to immortality is long and full of hidden dangers.

Using the lifespan of his targets, he can evolve techniques, enhance his spirit root, and grow stronger without ever revealing his true potential. To the world, he remains a lowly servant, but Lin Chang is far from powerless. He will use his secret to ascend, hidden in plain sight, and one day become a force to be reckoned with.

In a world of immense power and intrigue, where strength rules and danger lurks around every corner, Lin Chang's journey will test his resolve, his patience, and his ability to stay under the radar. After all, immortality requires more than just power—it requires time.
