When Xu Pingchuan was thirteen, he fell into the water while herding cattle and had a long dream. After he awoke, he found himself carried by an old ox to the gates of an immortal sect.
The sect happened to be recruiting disciples in large numbers, and he got in as he’d hoped, becoming a menial worker in the medicine garden. In the medicinal fields under his care, he found a miraculous little cauldron the size of his palm.
To his surprise, the cauldron could make copies. After one night, anything placed inside would be doubled, turning into two identical objects. From then on, every spirit pill, heavenly treasure, and earthly wonder that came into his hands became inexhaustible.
With the resources copied by the miraculous little cauldron, Xu Pingchuan’s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds…
A mortal’s journey to immortality
Cultivation realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Refining, Body Integration, and Mahayana
Each major realm has four minor stages: early, middle, late, and peak
It's pretty good, the writing flows smoothly, and there are no major flaws so far. The plot development is a bit flat, but it doesn't feel padded with unnecessary words. It's worth a look; it's quite good. I just don't know if there will be a romance plot later on. Personally, I think if it follows the "mortal life" genre, a no-romance approach might be better.
Overall, it's good. The protagonist is decisive and ruthless, and the plot is engaging. There are minor flaws, the most significant being the overpowered copying function of the small cauldron; it would be better if it were bound to a master. Secondly, the protagonist suppresses his cultivation level too much.
The author writes and tells the story very well; it's a good read, but the updates are too slow.
The overall storyline is decent, but the pacing is rather slow.
Objectively speaking, it's alright.
The strengths are obvious, but there are also many weaknesses. Overall, if the quality remains this level, the final score will likely be around 7 out of 10.
I have a good mindset; I estimate I can write 200,000 to 300,000 words.
Well written, you're quite intelligent!
