Synopsis

[Handcrafted from scratch + self-interest + no brainless protagonist + definitely not abandoned midway + decisive and ruthless + no saintly heroine + dark style + multiple female cultivators as pawns] Qin Yu transmigrates to the cultivation world and becomes a rogue cultivator who barely survived a body-snatching attempt. But this is a world that devours people. As long as saints live, thieves will thrive; mortals are like grass, and cultivators are no different. Fortunately, he has an Eight Trigrams Treasure Disk in his sea of consciousness, allowing him to divine the secrets of heaven and see through hidden truths. What others see as a dead end is an opportunity in his eyes. Even so-called friends who would risk their lives for him are nothing more than expendable pawns. For a Soul-Nourishing Pearl, Qin Yu can spend half a month plotting, manipulating a group of rich heirs as if they were in the palm of his hand. And when it's time to eliminate every last one of them, he won't hesitate to set the whole place ablaze and reduce his former teammates to ashes. All of this is simply to secure a chance to enter the immortal sects. “As long as it can be useful to me, it's an opportunity. If it can't, it's a calamity.” “As for reputation, morality, and feelings... they're nothing but bargaining chips for a shot at immortality.” What does Qin Yu want? Simply not to spend his whole life, day after day, the way he did in his previous life. Taking advantage of his ability to divine the secrets of heaven, Qin Yu finds his path to immortality, befriends and makes use of talented people before they rise to prominence, and maneuvers carefully through the cultivation world. In the end, everyone who sees him has to respectfully call out, “Greetings, Immortal Venerable!” (Readers often comment that the protagonist joins an orthodox sect, so why is everything still such a mess? I can only say that everyone cares about appearing righteous. As long as nothing comes to light, that's enough. And the methods used against the protagonist are all reasonable and within the rules. The sect arc lasts until Chapter 21. If you really don't like it, you can skip it.)

I see that there have been many comments recently saying that the protagonist has started to work as a nanny. Let me refute the rumors. It is true that he is not a nanny. Yang Yan will eventually transform him into a corpse, including Tang Yu, who will later use it to improve his cultivation. This book is a pure dark flow, and he will not be a nanny. If you think there are any poisonous points, you can comment, I will reply when I see it.

It is a very thoughtful work, the plot is well laid out, the logic is complete, the content is in-depth, the pace is not hasty, the narrative is delicate, and the sense of substitution is strong. It is suitable for leisure reading. It's worth chasing slowly.

It's quite nice. It can be seen that the author's writing style has improved. The latter part is obviously not as green as the first one. The writing quality is okay, it had a bit of a fantasy feel at the beginning, but now it looks a bit like a low-end version of "The Fairy Gourd"

It's pretty good, the fighting could be a little more exciting. I don't understand the puppet. Can't a crocodile become a puppet?
