   Personally, I think all four are good. They're all family-based cultivation novels, each with a distinct style. All four follow the pure Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment system. The first one is complete; its biggest advantage is its high intelligence, clear logic, and genuine family-style novel—a million words is plenty to read. The second one follows a currently popular novel format—super cool! Extreme showing off, no female lead, highly recommended! The third one is interesting—a beast-themed novel, a classic family-based Xianxia novel, no doubt about it, it's been tested by the market, and with patience, it definitely has something to offer. Unfortunately, it's currently on hiatus. The fourth one is a new book; I've read a few dozen chapters, and it's quite interesting. It has a lighthearted and humorous style, with a system, entry points, and multiple female leads. Currently, it seems to be an ensemble piece, well-written, and I'm currently reading it.

    After transmigrating, Yun Shu started as a mortal, testing her spiritual roots, climbing the ladder of cultivation, entering a sect, becoming a disciple, and achieving the Glazed Physique. She mastered both alchemy and swordsmanship. She also learned several other arts. Seeking opportunities, she ventured into secret realms, encountered a spatial divine tree, and met the spirit beast, Little Fox. "Hey, this secret realm is destined for me!" She thought, accepting the test and inheriting its secrets. Planting spiritual plants and fruits, the secret realm became her own backyard. Others have spatial abilities; she had her own exclusive secret realm.

    Fantasy Xianxia (Chinese fantasy), cultivation novel, no system, features a female lead. The author of the first book said he would write until the platform went bankrupt! The author of the second book said he would write 3 million words! The author of the third book said he had become a demon, and updating ten times a day wouldn't be out of the question!

    Reader note

    The combination of a level-up storyline, decisive ruthlessness, and the Southern Liang Dynasty—a niche tagline—is surprisingly captivating. Song Ling, a modern "ordinary person," transmigrates to a cultivation world, playing the role of his childhood sweetheart and becoming someone else's arrogant, genius younger sister. The protagonist is ruthless and decisive, not a saint; he uses cross-dressing to swindle resources, improve his cultivation, and slowly embarks on the path of cultivation. The protagonist is an egoist, willing to do anything to become stronger. He doesn't care about switching genders at will, because for him, gender is no longer important. His body is like a boat, a means to the path of immortality, not the end!

    Reader note

    The first book is a classic cultivation novel. The protagonist starts as an unorthodox, evil cultivator, killing, seizing land, and plundering resources—all for his own benefit. (Completely fake; I've never seen a cult more believable than this.) The second book starts with no spiritual roots, then replicates three spiritual roots, climbing step by step to become an immortal. So what if his talent is mediocre? Today he defies the heavens and becomes an immortal. (What? You're a peerless genius with incredible talent? Great, so I am too! (*´I`*))
