[Handcrafted] [Development] [Cultivation] [A Hundred Arts] [Cautious] [Golden Finger]
Lin Mu, who loves playing cards, transmigrates to the world of Cultivation, only to discover that his family was wiped out in a beast tide. In recognition of his family's contributions, the Zixiao Immortal Sect takes him in and raises him as a disciple. To his surprise, he awakens a deck of playing cards, each card granting a different ability. Ace of Clubs [Azure Dragon Dao Seed: Origin of Cultivation Techniques]: Greatly enhances enlightenment, deduction, and the analysis of cultivation techniques, instantly bringing him into a supreme state of enlightenment. Incomplete techniques automatically fill themselves in, deduction speed increases tenfold, and flaws in every trace of the Dao become clear.
Ace of Hearts [Vermilion Bird Pillfire Seed: Origin of Alchemical Fortune]: Transforms his alchemy, healing, and fortune. He can refine pills one major realm above his own, mend shattered souls, gather the great fortune of Heaven and Earth, and produce pills of near-perfect quality.
Ace of Spades [White Tiger Golden Fiend Seed: Origin of Slaughter]: Transforms his swordsmanship, ability to break evil, and combat prowess. He utterly crushes opponents of the same rank, breaks techniques beyond his realm, overcomes all arts, and sends demons and evildoers fleeing.
Ace of Diamonds [Black Tortoise Foundation Seed: Origin of Crafting and Creation]: He can set up flawless formations, refine treasures one major realm above his own, instantly mature spirit herbs, push demonic beasts to their evolutionary limits, and inscribe Dao patterns into every talisman...
Fifty-four spirit cards: the Earthly Fiends nurture a hundred arts, the Four Symbols establish the roots of the Dao, the Heavenly Spirits unlock divine powers, and the Two Principles bear witness to eternity.
One card, one art mastered; one craft, one step closer to the heavens!
Divine alchemy, heavenly artifact forging, spirit beasts that guard mountains, spirit plants that grant longevity, deductions that trace back to antiquity, and martial might that rules the world.
Starting as an ordinary cultivator, he enters the Dao through countless arts and ultimately becomes the one and only Profound Dao Dao Lord across all the heavens!
The current setup seems pretty good. Actually, they should add another card, since most decks have 55 cards, and the names vary from place to place. Calling it "ready hand" would be perfect here, similar to a control panel. After all, many cards in the story require manual use.
Just mark it, run an errand, and split 40% with someone else, hahaha.
It's great! (♥∀♥) So far, it seems to be a slice-of-life cultivation novel. I'm just getting to the point where the protagonist becomes a direct disciple of the Beast Taming Peak, which is fantastic. The protagonist learns everything incredibly fast, yet he's still a nominal disciple on the Spirit Plant Peak, and he's being bullied by the other nominal disciples.
The story's pacing is exceptionally well-controlled, the characters are vivid and three-dimensional, and the plot is full of twists and turns—it gets more and more addictive the more you watch! The foreshadowing is well-placed, the logic is sound, and the immersion is incredibly strong. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read, highly recommended, and a well-deserved five-star rating!
Giving away 40% of the profits to middlemen is too kind; I suggest the protagonist become a middleman.
I haven't watched it yet, but the subject matter seems good. I'll give it my support.
It looks great; 54 cards, 54 talents, traits, or passives—a rather novel setup.
The pace is a bit slow, but it has a cultivation-like feel to it.
The plot unfolds slowly, and overall it's a farming story. The protagonist's cheat ability is quite overpowered, giving the feeling of ascending to heaven by stepping on one foot while stepping on the other.
Good, not bad, not bad, not bad, not bad
