    2026031309🔥🔥🔥 I'm recommending the traditional fantasy novel *Ling Tu* for three reasons! First, this is my own fantasy world as a veteran fantasy reader, and what I've written might be exactly what you're looking for. Second, it features a completely new progression system, spanning from Earth to Mars and then to endlessly distant cultivation worlds. The protagonist, like myself, drifts through life, experiencing countless disappointments. While frustrating, this reflects the reality of most people's lives, and I hope everyone avoids living in a mindless, self-indulgent fantasy. Third, I've been writing this book for three years, currently at 2.87 million words. Although there haven't been any recommendations, I want to truly complete this story without regrets; it's a deep-seated conviction. The call to action has sounded; we await your arrival!

    The two sat in the office, while Taiyi stood outside, leaning against the wall, trying his best to look well-behaved. "Sigh, Mr. Zhang Tianyi, I really didn't want to invite you here, but Zhang Tianyi went too far today. My math is one thing, at least I can recognize a few characters, but it's tough on our Chinese teacher, Ms. Zhou. I heard Ms. Zhou's blood pressure went up from anger." Zhou Wu held two homework books, looking helpless. Hu Wuzhao took the homework books apologetically and opened them. Her face darkened after reading them. They were covered in strange symbols, which, upon closer inspection, resembled talismans. Clearly, this kid had combined talismans and Chinese characters into one. "Zhang Tianyi, come in here!" Hu Wuzhao shouted. Taiyi, standing outside, jumped at the words. "This is really the end for me," Taiyi muttered softly. He then opened the door shakily. Hu Wuzhao stood with her back to him, while Zhou Wu stared at him expressionlessly. "Is... Something wrong?" Taiyi tried calling out. "Hmm, not bad, not bad, your talisman is very skillful. It could almost kill the King of Hell." Hu Wuzhao slammed Zhang Tianyi's homework on the table. Her signature smile was still on her face. But in Taiyi's eyes, it was more terrifying than the poison of Du Guyan. "I, I know I was wrong. I'll rewrite it right away." Zhang Tianyi said with a bitter face, trembling with fear. "Apologize to Teacher Zhou immediately." Hu Wuzhao said coldly. Then, under Zhou Wu's surprised gaze, Zhang Tianyi obediently apologized. "How come this kid is so obedient?" Zhou Wu muttered to herself. "This parent is young, but quite effective." "I'm really sorry, Teacher Zhou, how about this, I'll treat you to a simple meal this weekend to make amends. You must come, I haven't disciplined him properly, thank you for your help. It's at Tianchen Tower. You and Teacher Zhou Ye must come." Zhou Wu wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist Hu Wuzhao's invitation. So, Hu Wuzhao quickly left the school. On her way back, she inadvertently saw a teahouse called Wuchen Teahouse. She couldn't help but stop in her tracks. "People from the Qingkong Ancient Clan," Hu Wuzhao murmured with a hint of surprise. After speaking, she pushed open the door and saw a man and a woman sitting at the tea table brewing tea. The man was refined, and the woman was elegant. Hu Wuzhao immediately recognized that this was the unique temperament of the Qingkong Ancient Clan. "Young Master Wusheng, Mr. Wuchen. It's truly unexpected that you two would live in seclusion here." Hu Wuzhao smiled and picked up a cup of still steaming tea. The man and woman brewing the tea both looked at Hu Wuzhao, their eyes full of scrutiny. "This weekend at noon, Tianchen Tower." After speaking, Hu Wuzhao's figure disappeared from the spot. "Is it the sect leader?" "I feel it's her. Only she can see through any disguise of her subordinates." "It seems that the day to avenge my clan is approaching." The weekend arrived quickly. That morning, Hu Wuzhao woke Feng Chaoxi and the others early. After some preparation, they hurried to Tianchen Tower to visit this business "prodigy." Inside the elegantly decorated shop of Tianchen Tower, Jiang Chenyu was working on his precious abacus. The room was filled with the unique fragrance of agarwood. Suddenly, a chilling aura swept in. Jiang Chenyu slowly raised his head and saw a tall figure. "You've arrived?" He asked lazily, as if he had expected someone to come. "Boss Jiang, what a spirit! This Spirit True Fish, dead for at least a month, and this zombie-level Kui beef are truly unforgettable." Hu Wuzhao found a chair and sat down. The nine figures behind her also took their seats. "Fellow Daoist, are you here to cause trouble, have a meal, or reclaim those ten spirit stones?" Jiang Chenyu asked, stepping out from behind the counter. "If it's the latter, I, Jiang, will certainly treat you with the utmost hospitality; if it's the former, I will still keep you company. As for the third party, forget about it." "And if neither?" Hu Wuzhao crossed her legs, the toes of her high heels pointing at Jiang Chenyu. She swirled the tea in her hand, a playful expression on her face. "What do you want?" Jiang Chenyu's face instantly darkened. "'This tree is mine, this road is mine. If you want to pass, leave your toll.' Do you remember those words, Mr. Jiang?" Hu Wuzhao continued to swirl the tea in her hand. Jiang Chenyu took a deep breath and involuntarily took a step back. He couldn't help but recall a figure in red, wielding a black iron hammer. That arrogant girl looked disdainfully at the two who had been badly beaten. "Dare to rob me again, and I'll teach you a lesson." After saying that, the girl threw down the hammer in her hand and strode away... Jiang Chenyu looked at the person behind Hu Wuzhao again and was stunned. He had long felt that the people behind Hu Wuzhao looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before. Then he realized that the one in the red dress was none other than Feng Chaoxi. Looking at the others, he recognized them as Han Qingming, Ji Yunfan, Du Guyan, Lu Nanyi, Hu Xiaotian, Feng Qitian, Taiyi, and an unfamiliar face. Hu Wuzhao saw the realization and shock in his eyes and chuckled. Her captivating voice rang out: "Recognized you?" "Hey, you shrewd businessman, could you get some fresh ingredients next time?" Han Qingming asked. "Brother, you…" Jiang Chenyu took a step forward, speaking excitedly, but then his tone immediately shifted to one of impatience: "What are you doing here?" Hu Wuzhao completely ignored his last sentence. She stood up, walked to Jiang Chenyu's side, and patted his shoulder firmly: "Time to go back. Old Jiang." Time to go back, Old Jiang. Those six short words struck Jiang Chenyu as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared blankly at the group of people before him. "Okay." Jiang Chenyu put down his beloved abacus, his expression turning serious. "Time, place, target," Jiang Chenyu asked calmly. Hu Wuzhao raised an eyebrow. Why was this man so sparing with words? It seems I've been gone too long. She couldn't help but think. "Wait," Hu Wuzhao said immediately. "Wait?" Jiang Chenyu was taken aback, but quickly recovered. That's right, such important matters can't be rushed. "Okay, you're the sect leader, I'll listen to you," Jiang Chenyu nodded, his expression indifferent. "Yes, just wait," Hu Wuzhao smiled mysteriously. Then she added, "And, there's something else we need to do now." Soon after, Jiang Chenyu, wearing an apron and holding a large ladle, was busy in the kitchen. Hu Wuzhao leaned against the doorframe, supervising. She was munching on a carrot. "Hey, Lao Jiang, hurry up. They're almost here," Hu Wuzhao mumbled between bites of carrot. Jiang Chenyu was focused on chopping vegetables, ignoring her. Suddenly, the sound of metal cutting through the air rang out. She instinctively dodged. Thump— A kitchen knife was now embedded in the spot where Hu Wuzhao had just been leaning. Hu Wuzhao pulled the knife out with a backhand motion, her face serious as she faced Jiang Chenyu, who was swinging his knife at her. In a flash, she appeared behind Jiang Chenyu and kicked him in the back of the knee. "Ugh!" Jiang Chenyu immediately felt his knee buckle and he fell to his knees. Jiang Chenyu swung the knife behind him, trying to force the person back. But Hu Wuzhao's hand gripped Jiang Chenyu's knife-wielding hand like an eagle's claw, and she twisted it forcefully. Then Jiang Chenyu felt a numbness in his arm, and the kitchen knife clattered to the ground. Finally, Jiang Chenyu felt a chill on his neck. Looking down, he saw a kitchen knife pressed against his neck. "Did you figure it out?" A clear, cold female voice said. After speaking, Jiang Chenyu felt his bound hand being freed. Hu Wuzhao casually tossed aside the cleaver in his hand, which landed precisely on the cutting board with a dull thud. He cracked his knuckles. He said in a deep voice, "I only trust myself." "Next time, think about it. Looking across the entire world, who else but me could subdue you with just four steps?" Hu Wuzhao said mockingly. Jiang Chenyu's face darkened, and he remained silent. "Alright, I'll cook. You go entertain the guests." Hu Wuzhao tied on his apron and took Jiang Chenyu's place. He pointed meaningfully towards the No. 1 VIP room. Meanwhile, inside the No. 1 VIP room at Tianchen Tower, Feng Chaoxi and her group were destroying the last array eye. "Jiang Chenyu, I'm not finished with you!" Du Guyan was furious. Pushing open the door to the No. 1 VIP room, a sweet, cloying smell mixed with the scent of agarwood wafted out, making one feel a chill. Jiang Chenyu immediately put on a standard shrewd businessman's smile. Facing the crowd he had just surrounded by the array he had activated, two very similar-looking women soon appeared in the No. 1 private room of Tianchen Tower. "Oh, the two Zhou teachers have arrived. Please have a seat." Hu Wuzhao poked her head out and greeted them with a smile. "Thank you for your trouble, Zhang Tianyi's parent." Zhou Wu said with a smile. After speaking, Zhou Wu and Zhou Ye sat down. A while later, a man and a woman of extraordinary bearing walked into Tianchen Tower. The two walked hand in hand, exuding a unique tea fragrance. Qingkong Wuchen and Qingkong Rusheng had arrived. Jiang Chenyu looked at the four people who had suddenly appeared. He thought to himself, "That's right, this really is my brother. No one but her knows how to squeeze me dry." Soon, Hu Wuzhao brought the dishes to the table. After all the dishes were served, she suddenly closed the door, her expression becoming serious. "Everyone, it's time to come back." She said slowly. "Huh? Who's coming back?" Zhou Wu asked, surprised. Meanwhile, Qingkong Wuchen and Qingkong Rusheng had already been secretly gathering their Yuan energy. At this moment, a black ancient book appeared in Hu Wuzhao's hand. It was the Law of Cause and Effect of All Realms. Hu Wuzhao opened the book, and five names flashed with golden light. Then she cut her finger, dipped it in her blood, and drew a talisman. She called out: "Zhou Wu, Instructor Elder of the War God Sect; Zhou Ye, Preacher Elder; Qing Kong Wuchen, Master Wuchen; Qing Kong Rusheng, Young Master Wusheng; Feng Qitian, Young Master of the Phoenix Clan, return to your positions." After she finished speaking, the Law of Cause and Effect of All Realms burst forth with bright light. Soon, the group saluted Hu Wuzhao in unison, saying, "This subordinate greets the Sect Master." Hu Wuzhao looked at the group of people around her and nodded with a smile. This time, I will definitely not let anything happen to you again. Hu Wuzhao thought to herself with a youthful face.
