   This book is a good choice for practical alchemy. Just the fact that the author refers to Wang Chongyang as "Grandmaster Wang Zhe" shows he's an expert! The meditation section reveals a huge secret! My master also said the sword techniques section reveals the most crucial points. Everything else is incredibly authentic. I was really worried for the author when he wrote about the "borrowing a name to ward off evil" section! Almost no one dares to talk about that, fearing it might harm others. This book is probably the best I've read about internal alchemy, and it's also the best at depicting the relationship between contemporary metaphysics and the imperial court. I'm really looking forward to the moment the author reveals the secrets of internal alchemy.

    "Monthly Salary 3500: My Immortal Cultivation in the Mortal World" is a slow-paced, reimagined urban fantasy novel. The story doesn't rely on excessive action or thrills, but rather unfolds the intertwining of mortals and the spirit world with delicate strokes.

The protagonist, Chu Fan, starts as an ordinary worker, steadily advancing on his cultivation path, growing step by step through thought and strategy, without any sudden power-ups; every breakthrough is justified. The plot is well-paced, featuring both the mundane details of daily life and the grand conflicts between realms and hidden foreshadowing. The characters are three-dimensional, and the emotions are restrained yet profound. The overall writing style is steady and meticulous, suitable for readers who prefer slow-paced, rigorously structured worlds and in-depth plots in urban fantasy novels; the more you read, the more you appreciate its grandeur.

    The author, a long-time researcher 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, beginning in the 22nd year of the Hongwu reign (1380) and connecting 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 Prince Yan's northern expedition. It also aligns with many Daoist secret histories. Without a certain level of cultural literacy and historical background, it may be difficult to understand.
