[Ordinary Person + Cultivation + No System + One Female Lead] All I wanted was to farm a little in this cultivation world, enjoy a quiet retirement, and cultivate while I was at it.

   Reader note

   The first book is highly recommended! It has a single female lead and is very interesting so far. The author is quite meticulous, and while the male lead isn't invincible, he's very cautious. The second book is a heartwarming farming novel, a perfect score. The author skillfully depicts the beauty and simplicity of clan, family, and friendship, as well as the protagonist gradually building his sect, helping the villagers, and the youthful passion of these characters. I hope the author doesn't stop updating. The third book is one I really enjoyed, especially the process of developing the sect using modern knowledge and some modern technology. The fourth book, based on its rating, is also highly recommended.

   Reader note

   This story blends the themes of mortal cultivation and sect development. The protagonist is both righteous and evil, breaking conventions (a cultivator undergoing tribulation). The absence of a system and the protagonist's native perspective highlight the harsh reality of cultivation. The early pacing and the novel setting of the path of evil are noteworthy. Currently, 62 chapters have been released, and it is expected to reach Foundation Establishment within 100 chapters. There is no female lead.

    Super exciting and amazing, endlessly rewatchable, uniquely imaginative, logically rigorous, a rare gem, a tribute to the classics. 👍 Reading this book at night is like witnessing the vastness of the starry sky. Only then did I realize that Xiaoyaozi was actually a powerful earth immortal. His lifelong dedication was to guiding mortals who couldn't cultivate onto the path of immortality. The Three Elders of Xiaoyaozi were merely his experiments… It's said that the author has obsessive-compulsive disorder, the kind that's really, really eccentric. A post-80s seaman, a die-hard Jin Yong and Shushan Swordsman fan. During his sea voyages, he was deeply frustrated by the monotonous and flawed fanfiction, often suffering from insomnia. He thoroughly read all 14 of Jin Yong's works, just to fill in every unresolved plot hole and make up for all the regrets. Moreover, the author has definitely practiced something, such as Tai Chi, Bagua, Xin Yi, Xing Yi, Pi Gua, Bajiquan, Tongbei, Tongbi, Wing Chun, Mantis, Ground Pulling, Cannon Hammer, or even the Sunflower Manual. The writing is so realistic and meticulous… From Yitian to Shushan, this is a traditional Xianxia novel about ordinary people digging for treasure, paying homage to Jin Yong and Shushan Swordsmen. The writing is refined, full of patriotism, and the serious narrative is occasionally punctuated with dry humor that will make you laugh out loud—the really, really dry kind… It's truly different from other messy fanfiction; the title doesn't piggyback on IP popularity, and it has many unique and refreshing settings. Upon reading, you'll discover that Zhuo Bufan, the only one capable of generating sword energy, is actually the author of the *Sunflower Manual*; the *Star Absorbing Skill* and the Five Mountains Sword Technique originated from Wang Yuyan; and this world is a fusion of Jin Yong's martial arts and the Shushan sword immortals… It even introduces a unique setting with two entirely new Wudang Zhang Sanfengs, seamlessly integrating into the cultivation system of *The Legend of Shushan Swordsmen*. The imagination is unique and logically consistent. The later Shushan section becomes even grander, constructing a magnificent fusion worldview that allows classic IPs to collide and generate new possibilities. Crucially, the logic is incredibly strong; Jin Yong fans will definitely experience a profound "So that's how it was back then" kind of understanding… This is not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. It almost connects all of Mr. Jin Yong's books, with rigorous logic and superb plot completion. It seems to have been created solely to fill in the gaps. One can only imagine how obsessed one must be to write such a deeply fusion masterpiece. Here, even the smallest characters are vividly portrayed. Even a soldier standing guard on the city gate has his own characteristics, dreams, and perseverance. Everyone is the absolute protagonist of their own world; there is no background character...

    [Sect-based + Invincible + Thrilling + No Female Lead] Li Feiyu, a struggling online novelist suffering from writer's block. Lacking inspiration, his cultivation plots were more convincing than telecom scams, drawing fierce criticism from readers. Desperate, he posted online seeking authentic cultivation material. Unexpectedly, he attracted a mysterious netizen with the ID "Qingyun Zhenren," who accurately revealed his private secrets, spouting tales of immortality and sect inheritance, convincing Li Feiyu he had stumbled upon a true immortal destiny. Seeking immortality and a blockbuster novel, he emptied his savings of five years, transferring 91,000 yuan for a so-called "gateway opening fee." After waiting at a dilapidated Taoist temple on Zhongnan Mountain, instead of a divine guidance, he was blocked and disappeared—completely swindled! While angrily searching for traces of the scammer, he accidentally triggered an ancient text mechanism, was swept into a blinding light, and was transported directly to the cultivation world. While others transmigrate into the world of saints and prodigies, living lives of luxury, he transmigrated into the body of the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, which had been destroyed a thousand years prior. Just as he was about to weep, he was bound to a sect revival system. The system rewards the host with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, an Innate Sacred Body, and Double Pupils! Innate treasures such as the Great Dao Chaos Bell and the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife are also included… Sect buildings include: the Disciple's Dao Palace, the Spirit Gathering Hall, and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Enlightenment Tree… Innate Sword Body, Ice-Sealed Snow Body, Immortal Spirit Body, Azure Lotus Sword Body, and Five Elements Immortal Body—unparalleled prodigies flock to him, bowing and pledging allegiance to become his disciples! Tracing back a thousand years of grudges, conquering countless realms and wastelands, he vows to restore the Qingyun Sect to its former glory.

    The author, a scholar of religious history, meticulously adheres to historical records such as the *History of Ming* and the *Veritable Records of the Ming Taizu*, and verifies Daoist classics like the *Daozang*, *Longhushan Zhi*, and *Maoshan Zhi*, as well as local county gazetteers. The content is highly rigorous. The story begins in the 22nd year of the Hongwu reign (1380) and connects to many real historical events, such as the murder of Prince Lu, the self-immolation of Prince Tan, Lan Yu's conquest of the local chieftains, the rebellion of Li Shanchang, and the Northern Expedition of Prince Yan, among others. It also aligns with many Daoist secret histories. Without a certain level of cultural literacy and historical background, it may be difficult to understand. [Thumbs up]
