[Dual cultivation of spiritual and demonic paths + gradual growth and leveling up + somewhat slow-paced + space farming + alchemy + beast taming + the heroine is incredibly cool later on + devoted and equally matched couple]
If a Supreme wants to kill me, I'll offer that Supreme as a sacrifice to the heavens and forge my own path!
Nan Qingqing, a low-ranking angel evolved from a human, entered into a contract with the ancient artifact spirit Qingyu and began expanding her medicinal herb farm in her pocket dimension, contracting spirit beasts, growing superior spirit plants, and cultivating a pool of the Three Sages' Spring, whose water is so rare that not a single drop can be found elsewhere...
She became the apprentice of Bu Ou, an artifact refiner who knows how to make the most of technology and unconventional methods!
With a Supreme army of thousands pursuing her, she carries a heavy cannon on her shoulder and becomes an army of one, earning everyone's admiration!
Nan Qingqing ranks first on the genius list. She's a cool, ruthless woman who says little, but is she secretly a total fluff lover?
When she encounters a fluffy animal: “A soft, fluffy white fox! So cute! Let me get a sniff!”
Her fellow disciples have been doing missions for three days and three nights.
Nan Qingqing: “There's still time. I'll cultivate a little longer.”
With only one day left before the mission deadline, Nan Qingqing steps in and takes first place!
Her fellow disciples are being beaten to tears by the Flame King Scorpion.
Nan Qingqing rushes over, swings her long sword, and chases the Flame King Scorpion down. When she returns, she says, “The demon beast is dead. No need to thank me.”
Her fellow disciples stare at one another: “Stay calm! She's Nan Qingqing, after all!”
Things to watch out for: The pacing is a little slow early on. There is a cultivation status panel, but this isn't a System-based story. The couple are equally strong; this isn't a case of the heroine being strong and the male lead being even stronger.
A book that's different even though I haven't read it yet
