A poor and ordinary boy from a village joins a minor sect in Jiang Hu and becomes an Unofficial Disciple by chance. How will Han Li, a commoner by birth, establish a foothold for himself in in his sect? With his mediocre aptitude, he must successfully traverse the treacherous path of cultivation and avoid the notice of those who may do him harm. This is a story of an ordinary mortal who, against all odds, clashes with devilish demons and ancient celestials in order to find his own path towards immortality.[1]
A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality (凡人修仙传, Fanren Xiu Xian Chuan) is a 2008 xianxia written by Wang Yu (忘语), published as a web novel on Qidian. In 2020, it was adapted into a donghua by the studios Original Force and Wonder Cat Animation. In 2019, it was adapted into a manhua called I Will Become an Immortal (Chinese: 凡人修仙传, 学士神功, Vietnamese: Phàm Nhân Tu Tiên, Korean: 학사신공) by HeHe and Dangao Yue (蛋糕月), published by A-SOUL and BiliBili. See also the sequel A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal World Arc.
You can read the web novel in Chinese on Qidian. It received an official English translation published on Webnovel.com, but it was eventually dropped in 2019 with chapter 689. Thus fans took over the translation, which can be read on Wuxia World. The donghua can be watched in several languages including Chinese and English on BiliBili's website or their Youtube. The manhua can be read in Chinese on BiliBili, in English also on BiliBili, and in Korean on KakaoPage.

- Adaptational Niceness: In the donghua, some story beats are changed to make the characters more likeable and sympathetic.
