", Written by Bu Qiuzhang, the male protagonist is dumped at the beginning and is in poverty. He accidentally obtained the inheritance of cultivating immortals. He practices to be supreme and forgets his feelings, but he insists on controlling the cause and effect - whoever betrays him will be repaid a hundredfold; whoever loves him will protect him to the death. I met girls of all kinds along the way, and I treated them all sincerely. Double cultivation is not only a warming of feelings, but also a breakthrough in cultivation. From a mortal to the pinnacle, he has done it: not only to keep his beauty, but also to surrender to the world.
