I stayed up late to finish reading "Monthly Salary 3500: I Cultivate Immortality in the Mortal World". It was really to my liking! The way Chu Fan squeezes the bus, calculates the rent, and deals with the boss is very much like us in reality. There is no brainless golden finger, only the moves of Baduanjin, the annotations of the "Tao Te Ching", and the instructions of the landlord Mr. Zhang, kneading the cultivation of immortality into the firewood, rice, oil and salt, full of fireworks. I seriously suspect that the author is a practitioner who is hiding in the city. Otherwise, how could he write "refining the Taoist heart in the mortal world" so realistically? There is no grandiose counterattack, only the struggle and perseverance of the little people, which makes people feel passionate and heart-warming. Must like and follow the reading! I beg the author not to stop updating, thank you very much!
As a reader who has been pursuing immortal literature all year round, I must talk about "Monthly Salary 3500: I Cultivate Immortality in the Mortal World"! This book is really to my liking. There are no floating routines at all. Reading is like reading the stories of people around you. It is very down-to-earth! The protagonist, Chu Fan, is either a chosen one or a clerk in a state-owned enterprise with a monthly salary of 3,500. He has to squeeze into public transportation, deal with leaders, and be forced to get married. These daily routines really hit the heart of the workers! His practice of cultivating immortality was not to hide in the mountains for seclusion, but to practice Ba Duan Jin in a rental house after get off work and read the Tao Te Ching during his lunch break. This kind of setting that integrates cultivation into daily necessities and daily necessities directly increases the sense of immersion. The plot is not sluggish, the things in the workplace are written very realistically, and the plots between the spiritual world and the mortal world are interspersed naturally, with no logical flaws. The most rare thing is that the characters are all vivid. Whether it is the protagonist or the female characters such as Su Lingyue and Su Qingxia, they all have their own ideas and persistence. They are not tool people, and they are very comfortable to watch. Reading this novel is effortless and healing. There are no messy pretense and slaps in the face. It just quietly tells the story of an ordinary person practicing in the secular world and protecting the people around him. Whether you like fairy tales or just looking for a down-to-earth daily novel, you can find it here! I sincerely recommend it to everyone, it is definitely a treasure trove of books!
The work breaks the traditional framework of novels about cultivating immortals and tells the story of Chu Fan, a 35-year-old fat uncle from a state-owned enterprise with a monthly salary of 3,500. Its core charm is that it completely anchors the transcendent fantasy of "cultivating immortality" on the reality of mid-life crisis and daily necessities. The protagonist's resources are squeezed out time, the dojo is a small rental house, and the inner demons are marriage pressure and unpaid wages. It depicts a "Pyrotechnic Way" - practice is not to escape from life, but to maintain inner order and light amidst working, debt and the ridicule of others by reciting the Tao Te Ching and practicing Baduanjin every day. This is a story about how ordinary people define dignity and extraordinary by persevering under the pressure of life, which has great resonance with reality.
I have been following "Monthly Salary 3500: I Cultivate Immortality in the Mortal World" for a long time. Every time it is updated, I update it as soon as possible. I sincerely hope that the author will never stop updating it! What struck me most about this life-style cultivation novel, apart from the down-to-earth daily life of a migrant worker cultivating immortality, was the pure and firm emotional line between Chu Fan and Su Qingxia. As a low-level employee with a monthly salary of 3,500 yuan, Chu Fan did not have the blessing of a halo, but he was willing to enter the spiritual world for Su Qingxia, face life and death, and reject the opportunity of heaven to protect the concerns of the earthly world. It was so touching. From fighting side by side in the workplace to sharing life and death, the two have no bloody misunderstandings in their relationship, but are filled with the warmth of mutual support. This kind of love tempered in the fireworks of the world is particularly true and believable. Now I am most looking forward to seeing the happy ending of the two. I want to know whether Chu Fan can balance practice and life, protect the people around him, and stay with Su Qingxia safely. I am sincerely looking forward to the follow-up updates. I believe that the author can give this pure feeling a happy ending, and let us readers who follow the updates always believe that such a firm and warm love really exists in the world.
The most popular aspect of this novel, apart from the novel setting, is the author's solid and down-to-earth writing style. The author is particularly good at laying out the atmosphere with delicate details of life. The workplaces of state-owned enterprises, the daily life of rental houses, and the fireworks in the market are all very realistic. For example, he describes Chu Fan running his exercises while squeezing the bus, and eating instant noodles and thinking about spiritual practice during overtime. The writing is simple and unpretentious but full of sense of substitution, and there is no sense of alienation like a suspended cultivation text. The writing style has both a sense of relaxation and a sense of rhythm. When narrating daily stories, the language is light and humorous, and the seriousness of cultivating immortals is dispelled with the familiar complaints of migrant workers. But when it comes to key plots such as spiritual world exploration and sect showdowns, the writing becomes calm and tense, and can accurately convey the tense and exciting atmosphere. In addition, the author naturally integrates cultivation terms into the modern context, such as comparing dream practice to "immersive overtime", making the description of the exercises not obscure. It not only retains the charm of cultivation texts, but also fits the urban background. It reads smoothly and comfortably, making it very suitable for readers who like life-flow themes.
The male protagonist, Chu Fan, lives up to his name, ordinary yet extraordinary, and he carves out a path to immortality in the dust of fireworks. Chu Fan's setting is a precise stroke that hits countless ordinary people - a fat man with a monthly salary of 3,500 yuan. The rental house is his square inch of heaven and earth, and it is also a dojo for cultivating immortals and refining his body. Traveling between the spiritual world and the mortal world, there is no blessing from the aura of a wealthy family, no magic weapon that can defy the heavens, only stumbling forward in the fireworks of the human world. The most touching part of the story is that it drags the cultivator down from the altar and makes the path to immortality entangled with his livelihood. There is unwillingness hidden in the fat body, and the meager salary cannot stop Dao's heart. This contrast of looking up at the stars in a humble state gives Chu Fan's counterattack a heavy sense of reality. It is not written about immortals, but about the spark in the heart of every ordinary person who refuses to accept his fate. The writing is delicate, the conception is unique, and the language is vivid.
A 35-year-old greasy uncle, with an old man above him but no young man below him, and no wife, he looks quite down and out. Amateur. But unexpectedly obtained a mysterious talisman, gained cultivation, followed an extraordinary path, and a mortal counterattack Good article [Like] [Like] Beautiful, five-star praise
The author's opening chapter introduces an office worker with a monthly salary of 3,500, a middle-aged man whose edges have been smoothed by life, which can resonate. There are no overly complicated scenes of cultivating immortals in the article, just ordinary life, but the logic is clear, the story is novel, the concept is clever, and it is very beautiful! !
The longer I follow this novel, the more I suspect that the author is not an ordinary writer at all, but a true cultivator hidden in the world! Especially the description of the cultivation techniques in the book is so detailed that it makes people's hair stand on end, and it doesn't look like they were made up out of thin air at all. As for the Baduanjin practiced by Chu Fan, the author did not simply mention the name, but wrote in detail how to incorporate the pre-Qin mythological visualization of Pangu opening the sky and Houyi shooting the sun. He even described the path of the breath and the changes in the sense of energy in the Dantian with extremely specific descriptions, as if he had practiced it himself. There are also the process of the soul's feedback in "Daoyuan Refeeding Technique" and the details of the seven-level nightmare cultivation method of the Nether Ruins Soul Bead. From the stabilization of the soul in the ecstasy of mist to the improvement of understanding in the fantasy sea and the abyss, every step of the cultivation experience is real and tangible, and one can even feel the rhythm of the flow of spiritual power following the words. What's even more amazing is that the details of the soul-devouring characteristics of the Taotie Soul-Eating Talisman and the cost of performing the soul spell are logically strict and in line with the internal logic of the cultivation system, without any loopholes. It's hard to imagine that someone who has never been exposed to cultivation can write such professional content. I sincerely suspect that the author is using the novel to share his spiritual insights. Every time I read the description of the exercises, I can't help but think about it carefully. I hope the author can add more plots related to the exercises, and I'm also curious about how many secrets of cultivation the author hides!
Finally found the location of this review. This book is very good, and the author also adds chapter-by-chapter comments. And I also added some side stories. Anyway, this is the first time I have seen it. It is relatively novel and conscientious. In my opinion, this is written with care and is of relatively high quality. Why does this comment sometimes appear at the end of the chapter and sometimes not? I discovered it again today, came here to review it, and recommend it to everyone. This is definitely a good book that everyone can recommend. The disadvantage is that there are only two or three chapters every day that do not quench your thirst. It would be good if the newly pursued treasures have some stock.
