    👉👉👉 The protagonist's master is named Suan Potian! Pretty impressive, right?! This Taoist book has no female lead, it's all pure, unadulterated content! Absolutely fantastic! This is a book about the local Tao, using a master-disciple relationship, through dialogue, explanation, and psychological description, to progressively explain what the Tao is. 🔅 The Great Tao is vast and boundless, and we are all on the path. The author is half farmer and half Taoist. How do you enter the Tao? Through literature? Through martial arts? Through medicine… How much literature and Tao? How much medicine and Tao?… Whether it's seven parts literature and three parts Tao, or four parts martial arts and six parts Tao, the saying goes, "Those who study gain daily, those who follow the Tao lose daily, losing and losing again until they reach non-action, and through non-action, nothing is left undone." Our ultimate destination gradually approaches the Tao; you and I are all on the path of the Tao, some fast, some slow. 🍀 The Tao values ​​life; each person's own path is the Tao. May we all be good versions of ourselves. 🍄 The most outstanding characters in the book are Corpse Nine and Master Gan; they both followed their own paths and ultimately attained their own enlightenment. The final time travel explains the background of the little snake spirit, brilliant! Wishing everyone...

    This is a refreshing and uplifting story in the cultivation world, slowly developing and appreciating its positive tone. The biggest difference between it and other cultivation novels is the absence of unnecessary drama; it's clean, crisp, and increasingly enjoyable to read. I hope the author can eventually develop it into a major sect in one realm, a great religion in another, and a holy land in a multiverse. Go for it!
