    👉👉👉 Recommended by Tomato, a seasoned bookworm! A fresh perspective on Taoist literature!!! Absolutely fantastic! This book tells the story of Taoism in its native context, using a master-disciple relationship, through dialogue, explanation, and psychological description to progressively explore the meaning of Tao. 🔅 The Great Tao is vast and boundless; we are all on the path. The author, a half-farmer, half-Taoist, asks: How do you enter the Tao? Through literature? Martial arts? Medicine… How much literature and Taoism? How much medicine and Taoism?… Whether it's seven parts literature and three parts Taoism, or four parts martial arts and six parts Taoism, the saying goes, "Those who study gain daily, those who follow the Tao lose daily, losing and losing again until they reach non-action, and through non-action, nothing is left undone." Our ultimate destination gradually approaches the Tao; you and I are all on the path of the Tao, some fast, some slow. 🍀 The Tao values ​​life; each person's own path is the Tao. May we all be true to ourselves. 🍄 The characters Shi Jiu and Master Gan are the most outstanding in the book; they both followed their own paths and ultimately attained their own Tao. The final time travel explained the background of the little snake dragon—brilliant! Best wishes to all…

    This book differs from typical Taoist novels. The protagonist is a rogue cultivator, neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil, without a system. He starts with a certain level of cultivation, not from the very beginning. Don't be fooled by the lighthearted atmosphere of the first chapter; the rest is filled with conflict. There is a female lead, but she's a late bloomer and a rather regrettable character, as she won't spend much time with the protagonist. This is a newly released book; if you're already a fan, you'll be a loyal reader. I guarantee with my integrity that this book will absolutely be a pleasant surprise! [Cool]
