Modern guy accidentally travels through the cultivation world, unexpectedly bound to a non-cultivation system. He gets rewarded for not cultivating, but then his powerful fiancée shows up to humiliate him and demand an annulment?!

Xu Xian is reborn in Diligent Village with a system that rewards him for avoiding immortal cultivation. Despite his fiancée, Lin Shanshan, arriving from the Qing Yuan Holy Land to take him for cultivation, he adamantly refuses, much to the surprise and anger of others, securing a mutated sword root as a reward for his refusal.

Xu Xian is brought to the Qing Yuan Holy Land. Despite his protests, Elder Li, honoring Xu Xian's parents' sacrifice, ensures his entry. Xu Xian intentionally fails the spiritual root and 'ask the heart' tests by acting contrary to expectations, including causing a fictitious death. However, Elder Li misinterprets his actions as wisdom, and his mutated sword root is unveiled, leading the Holy Land to accept him as a personal disciple, much to his dismay.

Xu Xian tries to avoid becoming a personal disciple to escape cultivation. He secures a month before the Sword Examination and deliberately skips smithing classes. He also rejects Master Su Wanqing's offers to teach him, aiming to fail the test and avoid cultivating. However, his system rewards him for his non-cultivation, granting him master smith abilities just as the examination begins.

During the Sword Examination, Xu Xian feigns ignorance and attempts to fail, but his system-granted master smithing skills inadvertently lead him to forge a powerful spirit weapon, surpassing everyone, including rival Zhang Yang. He unintentionally passes the test and becomes a core disciple, further solidifying his path in the Qing Yuan Holy Land.

Xu Xian continues to avoid cultivation, basking in the sun and sleeping, while Zhang Yang practices diligently. Elder Li informs Xu Xian about the rare 'Starfall Technique' in the Meteorite Secret Land, emphasizing a mnemonic. Zhang Yang overhears and uses the technique, breaking through to Foundation Establishment. Meanwhile, Xu Xian's non-cultivation earns him a breakthrough to the Jindan stage, greatly upsetting Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang challenges Xu Xian publicly, fueled by his jealousy and stolen technique. Elder Li intervenes, exposing Zhang Yang's eavesdropping and confining him. Xu Xian receives a new system mission: spend 100,000 spirit stones within a day to earn a master alchemist's enlightenment. He embraces this task with enthusiasm, eager to spend money.

Xu Xian goes on a spending spree, buying expensive herbs to clear his 100,000 spirit stones and earn the alchemy reward. Lin Shanshan, misunderstanding his motives, believes he's spending all his money for her. Meanwhile, Ying Ying, a disguised Holy Maiden from the Wudao Sect, is actively sabotaging Lin Shanshan's potions to harm Xu Xian, as instructed by her sect.

Xu Xian realizes Lin Shanshan's potion has 'fire-eroding powder' and suspects Ying Ying. He tactfully 'rewards' Ying Ying with a system-provided Illusion Spirit Pill, putting her under his control. Under charm, Ying Ying confesses her mission from the Wudao Sect to frame Xu Xian and destroy his cultivation, surprising Xu Xian with the depth of the conspiracy against him.

At the pill exchange, Zhang Yang challenges Xu Xian, who delegates to Lin Shanshan. After Lin Shanshan, now a master alchemist under Xu Xian's indirect guidance, performs well, Zhang Yang reveals his own third-order elixir. Xu Xian steps in, demonstrating his system-granted alchemy by creating a powerful sixth-grade elixir. He exposes Ying Ying’s deception, leading to Zhang Yang's and Ying Ying's disgrace and arrest, while Xu Xian is celebrated and promoted to Holy Son.

Xu Xian, now at the Yuan-Ying stage and rewarded with 10 million spirit stones, continues his spree of spending and gift-giving. He shares his spontaneously generated excellent pills and artifacts with the Holy Lord, Master Su, and other elders and disciples, much to their astonishment. Despite his efforts, he still has millions of spirit stones to spend, contemplating how to unload them effectively.

Lin Shanshan suggests an auction at Tianyue Court to find materials for a weapon. Meanwhile, the Wudao Sect, having freed Zhang Yang and Ying Ying, plans to invade the Qing Yuan Holy Land while its master is in seclusion. They aim to seize a divine artifact at the auction to bolster their power. At the auction, Xu Xian spends lavishly, outbidding Zhang Yang for materials, frustrating his rival.

Xu Xian, with the help of Master Su and the Holy Lord, attempts to forge a weapon for Lin Shanshan using the materials he gathered. Despite his eccentric methods and previous 'failures,' his system-enhanced smithing skills lead to the creation of a divine weapon, attracting a heavenly thunderbolt. He casually gives the artifact to Lin Shanshan, astounding everyone present.

Xu Xian is rewarded with 100 million spirit stones and 100 artifacts. To get rid of these new artifacts, he distributes them generously to all the elders and disciples, much to their delight and disbelief. He then sets his sights on spending the enormous sum of spirit stones, contemplating ways to quickly deplete his newly acquired wealth.

The Wudao Sect, emboldened by the Bloodshed Ancestor and believing the Qing Yuan Holy Land is weakened, openly rebels, demanding Xu Xian. Xu Xian, wanting to spend his new wealth, decides to upgrade the Holy Land's protective formation. He requests Elder Li's expertise and provides exorbitant materials, surprising everyone with his immense resources. With the help of Lin Shanshan, Elder Li, and Master Su, they supercharge the formation with millions of spirit stones.

The Bloodshed Ancestor breaks through to the Harmonious Realm, and, with the Wudao Sect, attacks the Qing Yuan Holy Land. Xu Xian, having spent all his 100 million spirit stones, is rewarded with ten billion more, 100 sacred techniques, and the Ancient Regulus Sword. He activates the newly upgraded, impregnable formation and then, using a system-provided Sword Domain, effortlessly defeats the Bloodshed Ancestor in a single move.

Overwhelmed by Xu Xian's power, the Holy Master declares him the new Sacred Master. Xu Xian, however, declines, expressing his desire to return to Diligent Village with Lin Shanshan to live a simple, secluded life while still finding ways to spend his astronomical new fortune. Lin Shanshan, Master Su, and Elder Li decide to follow him, intrigued by his enigmatic power and unique journey.
