I Attain the Dao Through the Mortal World

(The rating just came out, it will rise later, so don't worry.)

[Classical fantasy + mortal travel + mundane daily life + no female lead + non-gangster cultivation]

A hermit practicing in Qingya Temple, one day descends the mountain and enters the mortal world.

Others seek immortality by severing all emotions and desires, but he seeks immortality while still maintaining a connection to the mundane aspects of human life.

Lu Qiyun buried his master and left the temple, traversing the misty landscapes of the nine provinces, witnessing all the joys and sorrows of humanity. The vast world was not a calamity, but rather a path to understanding the Dao of heaven and earth by observing all living beings.

Having witnessed the myriad aspects of human life, one gathers the three flowers atop one's head.

Having experienced the joys and sorrows of life, one cultivates the five vital energies within the body.

Watch as this mortal traveler gradually proves his Dao amidst the mundane world, ultimately breaking through the heavens and ascending to immortality.
