The early stages focus on steady development, followed by a technological explosion later on. There are no sudden acquisitions of powerful weapons, so this isn’t a power fantasy. It’s closer to sci-fi farming. PPS: The author’s skills are limited, so the early chapters may be hard to get through... There are also long sections explaining the principles, as I try to build a coherent “cultivation + science” system and world. If that sounds 2.3kReads8.3Score238Shelves

    Reader note

    The first book uses rigorous scientific thinking and experimental methods to demonstrate the path to immortality in the cultivation world, overturning traditional understandings of cultivation. It fully embodies the principle that "knowledge is power," showcasing how the protagonist builds their own extraordinary path using a verifiable and replicable scientific system. The second book transforms the mythical beasts and wondrous objects from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* into real-world technology, with the protagonist voluntarily submitting them to the nation to rewrite history. The exploration of the mysterious ancient civilization's cutting-edge technology simultaneously inspires a strong sense of national honor and pride.

    🌺🌺I recommend reading these two books. The first one is about wandering the world and solving many strange and supernatural events, and exploring many forbidden folk arts. The second one mainly focuses on urban fortune telling and word divination. Both are very exciting. 🌺①I was buried alive by my fiancée, but she didn't know that I was destined to be the King of Hell! [Folk horror, feng shui talismans, incense offerings] Feng shui, physiognomy, skin painting to summon souls, walking the underworld and driving corpses, unique black magic, tattooing, silk puppets, wax sealing of red doors, dogs digging holes on grave mounds, ghosts eating feasts in river god temples, the Five Thunder Orthodox Method to break the impurity, using foxes, weasels, white willows to summon Taoist soldiers, paper effigy makers not targeting living people, two cobblers making sewing needles, Miao people raising gu, Nanyang raising little ghosts... ②"I'm retiring from the world, finally I can rest properly, bad people live to be a hundred years old... Sigh!" The elevator suddenly lost speed, the car shook violently, the floor lights flashed rapidly, and the car quickly plummeted to the ground floor. From the elevator shaft came Pang Yu's desperate wails, "Don't be a bad person, be a good person in your next life!"
