A boy and his tree friend explore dungeons, Daoism, and pocket dimensions, but find that sometimes the world is not so kind.

Full Blurb:

Li Ming, a young, adopted member of Minglao Island, is denied the resources to cultivate. His peers are given coredust, a reagent that rouses their latent talent and allows them to begin their journey cultivating those elements that manifest in their spirit roots.

Ming was cursed on the day of his birth, the long, gnarled scar he bears sending him into the throes of agony should he even so much as touch the other islanders. He believes cultivation might lend him reprieve, or even respect. He has no intention to remain the Enlightened Chrysanthemum sect's peasant until his eventual death.

He will find another way, or die trying.

Come with Ming on his epic adventure to sagedom as he learns the secrets of the Dao and the world of cultivation!

Additional Info:

This is a progression fantasy story set in a cultivation/xianxia world. The progression is realm-based, with qualitative differences in qi between realms and multiple types of cultivation (spirit, soul, body, spirit tool, spirit beast).
