Synopsis

[Cultivation]+ [High Martial]+ [Spiritual Qi Revival]+ [Genderbending]+ [Growth]

Jiang Jianqiu was just a cold-storage warehouse worker, dirt poor, whose greatest wish was to save up enough money to support her younger sister.

But after waking up, she found herself transmigrated into a girl in the Cultivation world, where the entire village had mutated from the start and monsters were hunting her down.

At death’s door, a trashy mobile game System popped up.

[Would you like to purchase the First-Time Top-Up Gift Pack?]

Jiang Jianqiu: “I’m about to die, and you’re asking if I want to spend money?”

The next moment, a Dragon-Slaying Saber appeared in her inventory.

From then on, the Yuexu Sect gained a good-for-nothing personal disciple with a low-grade water spirit root.

Everyone thought her talent was mediocre and her future limited.

Later, they discovered that this girl could beat the sect’s prodigies to a pulp, cleave extraterrestrial demons in two, earn the gratitude of the Northern Frontier’s demon clans, trick the Nine Great Holy Lands into joining forces, and even leave reincarnated immortals utterly bewildered.

Jiang Jianqiu: “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just an ordinary worker.”

Meanwhile, spiritual qi began to revive in the real world, too.

As a tide of ghosts erupted and martial arts emerged, another Jiang Jianqiu awoke from death after a gunshot rang out on a bridge spanning the river. Silver-haired and golden-eyed, in the body of a young girl, she was swept into a storm of modern-day supernatural forces.

In the Cultivation world, an ancient demon was reviving. In the real world, ghost cases and grand formations were appearing.

Two worlds, two lives.

In one, she joins a sect, cultivates, stirs up trouble, and saves the world.

In the other, she slays ghosts, solves cases, awakens her powers, and brings down the mastermind behind it all.

The demon wants to destroy the world?

Then she’ll unite the entire Cultivation world as one.

The old path of Cultivation is broken?

Then she’ll forge a new one.

Now that she’s cultivating, who’d want to work for a living?

But Jiang Jianqiu soon discovers that the Cultivation world is even more cutthroat than the cold-storage warehouse.

And somehow, she’s ended up being the busiest one again.

The story is great, but it feels like I'm reading two novels at the same time 🤔 The protagonists from the cultivation world and the original world are the same person, but if their minds don't communicate, then they can be considered two protagonists.

I'll give it a good review first. It's clear the author has a lot of ideas; the story setting is novel, and they clearly intended to write it well. However, the weaknesses are obvious. The writing style is a bit immature; you can understand the plot, but it requires some effort. If more details and nuances were included, it might be easier to read, though it would also be longer.

Honestly, it's really well-written. Similar stories have been around for years, but this one still feels good and is a very enjoyable read. However, there's a minor flaw in the reading experience: the dual storylines are too abruptly separated. The two storylines aren't connected, which is fine, but the transitions are extremely slow and abrupt, which is also acceptable.

As seen in the previous book, the author's ability to write about the supernatural and ghosts is still quite good. It's just a pity that the previous book became too invincible too quickly; the middle part became unstoppable, which somewhat diminished the terrifying atmosphere. As for this book, the cold storage section is quite good, and the atmosphere is definitely there. So far, as a new book, it's still worth recommending.

Good read; it's rare to find a book that suits my taste on Tomato Bookstore. The writing is excellent, with a unique style in creating atmosphere (especially the realistic ghost realm scenes, which are quite dreamlike and evoked some nightmare memories).

I've only read a bit so far, but its strengths are still quite prominent. The narrative pacing and writing style are good, and it's clear there's an outline and world-building in place. The two storylines—the cultivation world (female body) and my Earth self (gradual transformation)—are both captivating and keep me reading.

It seems okay so far, I've read over 70 chapters, then I skipped to around 170 to get a general idea. While the two worlds are connected, there are time restrictions and very little interaction, probably to suppress power and prevent the other reality from collapsing.

Here it comes! 😳 Another chapter of almost 4000 words, truly a labor of love! However, author, you should probably revise it a bit; don't just write "8 years old," make it look like you're 8. 🍅 It seems like the author is very sensitive about minors. It's a pity this book shouldn't be doing this well.

It's good, but the dual storylines are too agonizing. I prefer the modern storyline, but I don't like skipping around... Another question is whether the modern and cultivation storylines are evenly distributed or if there's a slight emphasis on one over the other?

It's worth reading in the genre of gender-bending novels, and it's still quite good even without the gender-bending plot. The urban setting is much better than the cultivation setting. The author isn't quite ready to handle both storylines yet, and the transitions are abrupt. I believe the author's next book will be even more exciting.
