Traditional Eastern Xianxia Novels
At least three million words. Ideally, the cultivation levels should be Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence, Great Ascension, and Immortal Ascension, followed by True Immortal and then godhood or something, with room to advance further.

He started taking on disciples shortly after beginning his cultivation, and he was extremely poisonous.
It's alright, but the part about taking on apprentices felt off. Saving someone is one thing, but then getting blamed for it is quite unpleasant.
Such a great fantasy novel is truly rare. Keep it up! This is a Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) novel. I personally enjoy novels like *The Great Dao Contention*, *Taihao*, *The Record of Destruction*, *The Immortal Gourd*, and the Shushan series. I wanted to write a Xianxia novel like this, the kind I envisioned. However, my writing skills are lacking, and the writing is somewhat subpar.
What were your thoughts on taking on apprentices?
It's quite good; there aren't many trivial matters, and it's all about spiritual practice.
I haven't read such a good fantasy novel in a long time! It's great!
Not bad, not bad, just a little lacking. This is roughly what my ideal of a carefree immortal journey would be like. Five-star recommendation.
It's a decent traditional cultivation fantasy novel, somewhat similar to the cultivation journey from the highest-grade Golden Core stage.
The first ten chapters or so are quite ornate in their language, but the later chapters are less so. However, the plot is still quite good, and I personally like that it doesn't rely on elixirs or anything like that. It's just that the cultivation levels are indeed a bit too complex.
Good books need readers' support and sharing, and authors also have the motivation and support to write. They complement each other!
