    With phoenix eyes and a mole on the top of his head, a weak connection to the Seven Killings and Six Relatives, and a benefactor in dire straits, I've poured my own name, half a lifetime of insights, and understanding of destiny into the character Yin Xing Shuo, pouring all my sincerity into him. I'll take you to see that forgotten world. This isn't some run-of-the-mill "watered-down" story; it's a story with soul, restraint, and a complete core. The key to breaking the deadlock in a "weak connection to the Seven Killings and Six Relatives" destiny is "the transformation of the Indirect Resource into the Indirect Resource"—the Indirect Resource represents insightful knowledge, character, and blessings; it's the benefactor who pulls you out of despair. And the character Yin Xing Shuo embodies the essence of "Indirect Resource" from the very beginning. You need to read carefully to discover its depth: profound reflections on human nature, dense details, precise foreshadowing, and the character's restraint. It uses an extreme atmosphere to create a cannibalistic world of cultivation.

    This is a new single-player novel. It hasn't garnered much traffic or promotion; I've just been working on it diligently. It's already 490,000 words and is still being updated. It's a traditional Xianxia novel with sect rivalries and a strict, well-defined progression system for overcoming higher cultivation levels, making it increasingly difficult as you progress. The power levels remain consistent, and the pacing is moderate. If you enjoy it, please add it to your bookshelf and add it to your favorites. Even just a few favorites would let me know someone is reading it!

    The story unfolds in a fantastical world: transmigration to another realm where agriculture and industry are developed. The premise is imaginative yet surprisingly plausible. It's a true scientific cultivation method, not simply transplanting guns and cannons to another world. Communication talismans are upgraded to a cultivation-themed internet; cultivation computers are used to deduce and upgrade cultivation techniques; modern scientific thinking is employed to optimize various cultivation arts; step by step, the monopoly of powerful families on cultivation resources is broken, transforming a small border town into a cultivation holy land.
