Taoist arts and Taoist sects, but no bizarre dungeon arcs. I've had enough of these bizarre stories lately. The writing is unbearably ridiculous. If ghosts can be killed by just any random thing, then they aren't ghosts anymore.

I'm looking for male-oriented novels about spiritual qi revival, with no harem, please! Ideally something like Cuttlefish's Global High Martial Arts or Calamity of the Myriad Races, or a fun, feel-good novel like The King's Avatar by Zhou Yan. I'd love something with a bit of that Tomato-style flair, too. Thanks so much!!! (♡˙︶˙♡)

It has a museum-like feel, but it's different. Keep up the good work, author! 🤭
The plot progresses a bit slowly in the first thirty chapters, but it gets much better if you persevere.
This book is worth reading; some parts are unforgettable, while others are thought-provoking and intriguing. Some sections also draw upon classical texts, lending the novel a sense of realism. I hope the author will continue to update the series. Fellow bookworms are welcome to comment and share their thoughts! 🙂 [Learned something new]
I've finished reading the book. There are some flaws, but they don't affect the overall quality much. It's still a very good read, and I hope the author continues to do well!
Actually, it's pretty good. It has both emotional and action-packed moments as well as heartwarming descriptions of everyday life. Aside from the glaring flaw of using cardboard boxes to save people, and the villains' somewhat lacking intelligence (a common problem in online novels), it's a decent read. I also have a question for the author: are the three ghosts meant to be comedic family members, or pets? This unclear characterization might make some readers uncomfortable.
Go go go! It should be visually appealing, but please don't let it be like the Demon-Suppressing Museum where someone suddenly reincarnates and slowly regains their memories. Also, please don't include an old acquaintance like the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
Why does this look so much like a demon-suppressing museum?
It's alright, but not nearly enough to watch.
That's really good, but I don't know why nobody's watching it. No, why is nobody reading this book? That's what I don't understand the most. I see that it doesn't seem to have any flaws.
It's a great read, the pacing is fast, and the characters are well-developed. I hope the author continues to improve.
