My name is Chen Xuan. I was a web-novel author who died suddenly, then transmigrated as a peasant baby in an ancient mountain village.
In the fourteen years I’ve lived in this world, I’ve learned to chop wood, farm, fish, and fight. I’ve also gotten used to my mother’s nagging, my father’s silence, my older brother’s simple nature, and my younger sisters’ endless commotion. I thought my life would be settled: I’d become an ordinary schoolteacher, marry a village girl, and grow old in the mountains.
Until, at sixteen, a voice told me: spiritual qi was about to revive, and the age of cultivation was coming.
And I was the chosen one, blessed by fate.
Fate gave me a book: The Art of Nurturing Qi.
It was the most basic kind of cultivation method, teaching people to start from scratch and take one step at a time toward immortality. No golden finger, no System, no wise old master. Just a thin booklet and Mount Tianlang, where spiritual qi was said to gather.
So I began cultivating in secret.
By day, I taught at the school. At night, I slipped into the mountains to meditate. I didn’t dare let anyone find out or make a fuss. After all, in this world, it’s no crime to be poor, but it is a crime to possess a treasure.
But I gradually realized that something was wrong with this world...
The fighting in the north suddenly intensified, and “mutants” of incredible strength appeared on the battlefield. Wild animals in the deep mountains began to go berserk, and after they died, strange blue threads could be found in their flesh. Even my young friends began to change after drinking my red grass tea.
The spiritual qi revival wasn’t affecting just me.
And how far could I, a self-taught cultivator with no master or sect, make it in this chaotic age?
I didn’t know.
But I knew that no matter how far I went, I had started from
This is the only novel that travels through 14 years of ancient times without thinking of any way to improve the poor life of the family and without earning a single copper. Four stars for encouragement, coding is not easy!
I tied it in one breath and couldn't stop at all! The pyrotechnic atmosphere of Zhong Tianwen is perfectly integrated with the sense of growth of cultivating immortals. The protagonist is neither brainless nor Long Aotian, step by step, and every little character around him has flesh and blood. The parting between life and death during the war and the excitement of the initial establishment of the sect made me cry and laugh at the same time. Highly recommended!
The writing is good, but if the pace is too slow, readers will slowly lose. How will the Qinghe Sect develop in the future? Is there a grand story background? If so, the pace can be sped up. Come on, if you are written by AI, just treat it like I didn't say it.
The language is fluent and has a sense of life. It describes the hard and simple life of a poor family in the past very realistically, but it is not very good for a person who has traveled through the plot. It seems that there is nothing special about an ordinary person.
Detailed description and more realistic
It's okay to read about the warmth and coldness of daily life. It's just that the opening golden chapter 3 didn't mention the theme of cultivation. I only came in after seeing the cultivation. The first few chapters are written very much like an imperial examination.
It feels very delicate when looking at it, the protagonist is slowly adapting to this era After reading more than 100 chapters, I feel that the plot is a bit thin, and the behavior of the protagonist is a bit unclear. There are too many emotional descriptions, and there seems to be little substantive content, which is not very attractive to read.
The feeling of drinking boiled water
The description is very detailed and slow, but the plot is compact and very real, so you need to appreciate it slowly.
This book is good. Why are there so few reviews? The revival of ancient spiritual energy is so novel.
