    Reader note

    I recently stumbled upon a novel with a rather interesting sect-based cultivation setting—"The Myriad Paths of the Profound Sect Within My Body." At first, seeing "abandoned meridians + system," I thought it was just another typical trope, but as I read on, I discovered it was quite different. While other transmigrated cultivators have cheat codes like daily check-ins, stat point allocation, or lotteries, the protagonist of this book, Lin Chen, is even more outrageous—his dantian directly contains a fallen ancient sect. The sect leader's main hall, spiritual veins, alchemy peaks, martial arts ladders, weapon-making peaks… each building slowly revives. The best part is that the protagonist can share in the achievements of the sect disciples' cultivation. When disciples cultivate, he gains cultivation. When disciples refine pills, he gains insights into alchemy. When disciples practice swordsmanship, he gains combat experience. In other words—on the surface, Lin Chen is cultivating alone, but in reality, the entire sect is cultivating for its sect leader. 😂 Moreover, the sect is only just beginning to revive; there are clearly many more development paths to follow later, such as recruiting geniuses, repairing sect buildings, and raising the sect's level. If you enjoy sect management + behind-the-scenes development + idle power-ups + satisfying cultivation novels, you should definitely give it a try. Book title: The Myriad Paths of the Body. There aren't many chapters yet, which is perfect for waiting.

    Feng Qingge took out the last two low-grade spirit stones from her storage bag, held them in her palm, and began to slowly absorb the meager spiritual energy within. Outside the cave, the night was deep, with the occasional roar of a star beast echoing through the air. She had to stay awake, she had to guard this small stone cave, waiting for Ye Fan to wake up, waiting for Fu Luo'er to wake up. Outside the cave entrance, hidden by vines, the moonlight was obscured by clouds, plunging the forest into even deeper darkness. Time passed in silence. Feng Qingge sat cross-legged between the two, her left hand holding the spirit stones, her right hand resting on Ye Fan's wrist, channeling a wisp of spiritual energy into him every fifteen minutes to maintain the basic functioning of his meridians.

    "Ye Fan…" the white spirit tortoise murmured, then suddenly said, "My former master was named Ye Bufan. Interesting, interesting. Your name differs from his by only one character. Could it be that you also come from Blue Star?" "Blue Star? Is Blue Star a place name? Where is it?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised, but after calming his initial shock, he boldly asked. The white spirit tortoise glanced at Ye Fan, its voice carrying a distant memory, and said softly, "Yes and no. It's in a very, very far place. I think if I have no hope of becoming an immortal in this life, I will never be able to return to my distant home—Blue Star." Ye Fan was completely bewildered. …
