Name: The Sword Immortal’s Poetry Lies in Wine
Author: Mu Xi Jun Xi

Synopsis

Li Qingxi stretched and yawned. “Dad, I want to see the martial world, to see all the romance and beauty of life, climb Kunlun Mountain, see the Qiantang River tides, see...”

“We’re broke. You’re not going anywhere,” his father said, sounding a little angry.

Li Qingxi first offered incense to his mother, then knelt and kowtowed. “Mother, today your son is setting out to roam the martial world on horseback. Please watch over me along the way. I’ll only be gone for a year or so.”

A sudden breeze brushed his face, and his mother’s memorial tablet toppled over.

He hurried to catch it. “Mother! You didn’t say anything just now, so I took that as a yes. You can’t change your mind now!”

[Pure wuxia, with no powers beyond the mortal realm and no Heavenly Dao. The historical setting is fictional.]

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that.
