Synopsis

Deep in the tunnels of the Qingshi Spirit Mine, a sixteen-year-old mine slave was chipping away at the stone.

His name was Lin Mo. He had five spiritual roots, considered the worst possible aptitude in the cultivation world. He'd been here for ten years and had seen what the mine slaves looked like when they were carried out: old, sick, or with their legs crushed by cave-ins. He'd never imagined he might make it out alive.

Until one day, the dark stone he'd worn around his neck since childhood began to grow warm.

From then on, he could see spiritual energy flowing and feel the coolness seeping from deep within the rock walls. The cost was written on his face: each time he used it, another fine line appeared at the corner of his eye, and his hair turned a little whiter.

The stone led him deeper into the tunnels. Something buried down there was older than the mine itself. It left white markings on his body, slowly spreading along his meridians.

This world was slowly dying. Its spiritual energy had been drying up for over a century, yet cultivators still spun their old tales of ascending to immortality. No one dared say that those tales might have been lies from the very beginning.

Then came the cave-in, and the sect's people. He fled the depths of the mine with the stone and headed south along the Qing River. A crippled old mine slave stayed behind to cover his escape. A Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator waited to force his spiritual roots to mature, while someone else was secretly gathering stones just like his.

Lin Mo only wanted to survive. But his stone seemed to have known him for a long time. The place it was leading him was one all cultivators pretended didn't exist.

Traditional Eastern Xianxia Novels

Ideally, the cultivation levels should be Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence, Great Ascension, and Immortal Ascension, followed by True Immortal and then godhood or something, with room to advance further.

I'm tired of the new-style fantasy novels. I miss the old-fashioned, traditional kind. A golden finger is fine, but no System. Rebirth is fine, but no transmigration. Preferably no female lead or just one, and the protagonist should work hard on his own and ultimately succeed.

The story of seeking immortality is unfolded using ghost peeping as an introduction, and the setting is very innovative. The book not only writes about martial arts adventures, but also thinks about what true immortality is. The plot has a moderate rhythm and no overly exaggerated cheats. The overall story is a food-level fairy tale and can be read when you are short of books.

The supporting characters in this fairy tale are written very realistically. Neither Lao Zhou nor One-Eyed Liu are tool men. The struggles and secrets of the people at the bottom make the small world of the mine particularly real. The pace of the story is slow, focusing on building up suspense. Underground movements, bluestone runes, and the past events of the East Mine fifteen years ago are intertwined. It places more emphasis on exploring the truth than fighting and killing. The protagonist Lin Mo is calm and tolerant, always observing and deducing when things happen, and has a very lovable personality. I look forward to the subsequent unfolding of the ruins line.

Fellow Taoists, I asked in the lower corner, leaving here the first comment on "Peeping at the Spirit and Asking for the Immortality". Most of the people in the world who practice immortal literature have the bones of immortals and a chance from heaven, and they are in the clouds from the beginning. But the immortality in my heart should have started with the fireworks of this mortal world. So I wrote this book, adhering to my original intention of being a mortal. The protagonist has no family to rely on, no innate Taoist foundation, and only learns the art of peering into the subtle details of the spirit. He rises from the earthly world and breaks into the turbulent world of spiritual practice alone. Seeking immortality is never a smooth road. The road ahead contains dangerous secret realms, strife among sects, separation from close friends, and true choices. I don't want to pile up a quick sense of pleasure, but plan to slowly lay out the long-term foreshadowing and describe in detail the whole process of a mortal monk who sticks to his original intention in a long period of loneliness and seeks step by step amid thorns. I have just finished my work, and I am lucky enough to have you stop and read it. It is a great fate. In the future, I will work diligently on my writing, update it steadily, and never be perfunctory. If you have any thoughts or expectations for the plot, please leave your comments and I will read them one by one. Even though the body is small, you can still ask questions; if you peek into the soul and observe the mind, you can finally live forever. I hope that all fellow Taoists will accompany the protagonist on this long journey to immortality. There are still many shortcomings in the novel at present, and I will try my best to constantly revise the bad parts in order to write it well.

It's okay. I watched it all night last night and suddenly fell asleep. I listened to the book and heard it was morning. I think it's quite good [please taste it carefully]
