   You think it's a novel, but it's actually a cultivation autobiography. Do you believe that cultivators truly exist? This fantasy novel, supposedly written by a real cultivator, claims to be written by someone who meditated while reading it. Some people have even experienced warm sensations in their lower abdomen. He recounts his grand and bizarre cultivation journey from a first-person perspective, creating a highly immersive experience, especially regarding the various cultivation techniques mentioned in the book. Due to its immense impact, the novel has been renamed twice and removed from shelves three times. Most terrifyingly, the book is a mix of fact and fiction; it's fine to read, but please don't blindly practice it—you might easily suffer from qi deviation!
