    I'm recommending my own novel! It's a pure mortal cultivation story. I especially love mortal cultivation novels, so I wrote one specifically for this genre. The protagonist, Mo Li, comes from a small mountain village and has pseudo-spiritual root talent. In order to have a chance to get close to a cultivation sect, he's willing to become a secular servant disciple, even lower than an outer disciple... The protagonist is intelligent, decisive, and calculating. He doesn't do anything without self-interest, and he'll run away first if trouble comes his way... Come on in and take a look!

    Reader note

    The new book, *Cultivation in the Mortal World: The Path to Enlightenment*, is a fantasy Xianxia novel whose strengths are mainly reflected in the following aspects: • Dual-track growth in cultivation and mindset: Unlike the traditional "leveling up" of cultivation novels, the protagonist, Lin Qingyang, undergoes a mental tempering with each breakthrough. For example, he confronts his inner demons during the Demon Realm Tribulation and overcomes emotional obstacles during the Tribulation of Delusions. His growth from a fearful youth to a tribulation-taker who wields the Star Pivot Array is realistically tangible. • Exquisitely woven historical mythology: The novel combines historical elements such as Zhang Juzheng's secret reform memorial and the Wanli Emperor's double-fish jade pendant with the cultivation world. When the Celestial Master's edict from Longhu Mountain collidees with the Panlong secret letter from the Directorate of Ceremonial, it presents a narrative spectacle of "history as the skeleton, fantasy as the wings." • Detailed descriptions of the cultivation process: From the delicate descriptions of the surging Qi during meditation to the microscopic depiction of the condensation of star seeds in the dantian, the novel recreates the charm of classical cultivation. The battles are meticulously detailed, such as the visual spectacle of "Nine Nether Soul Devouring Technique" versus "Azure Wood Longevity Technique," and the decisive battle at the Yangtze River ferry, which can be described as a cultivation version of "Flooding the Seven Armies," giving readers a strong sense of immersion. • The ensemble cast is vividly portrayed: the obsessive seeker of the Dao, Lü Huaiyang; the enigmatic Princess Sirou; the unassuming head of the Eastern Depot—each supporting character has a distinct personality, serving as a walking "human nature encyclopedia." • The world-building is grand and ingenious: the Three Realms setting subtly aligns with the *Huangji Jingshi*, the Star Pivot Array echoes the Hetu and Luoshu, the cultivation system and historical details are seamlessly integrated, and the author's use of the *I Ching*'s astrological symbolism is exceptional. The descriptions of the dantian and qi sea cultivation have even been hailed by readers as a "textual version of cultivation VR."
