   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 appears much later and is a significant character, so her interactions with the protagonist are brief. This is a newly released book; if you're already a fan, I guarantee you'll find it refreshing.

    1. The protagonist is a rare Yin-Yang spirit, born with divine favor and extremely high talent. He recognizes Mazu as his grandmother, is not a saint, and is decisive in killing. Three traitors will also appear. 2. A traditional Taoist priest enters the entertainment industry, excelling in everything, and is suspected of ascending to immortality (hehehe, I haven't finished reading it yet). 3. The Li Changsheng series is all very good. The protagonist is Laozi Li Er's younger brother, with super strength. With him, there will be no surprises. 4. The last Taoist should be familiar to everyone, so I won't go into too much detail here (actually, the plot is complicated and hard to explain). 5. The protagonist is a descendant of Maoshan, and his power is so great that the supernatural tales have to forcibly reduce his strength. Each tale is very in-depth and worth reading. 6. This book is suspected to be based on real events, and there are many real pictures in it. It's a little scary, but acceptable. The story is very strong and very realistic. 7. The protagonist is a bit crazy, but also very powerful. He constantly travels around to broaden his horizons and enhance his abilities. It's quite good.

    A realistic Taoist novel. The male protagonist is a disciple of Baopuzi (who works as a male escort in a nightclub—quite a contrast, right?), And his sects include Zhengyi Dao, Longmen Zhengzong, Qingjingpai, and Longhushan. His skill is the Sixteen Ingots of Gold, a Taoist body cultivation technique—realistic enough? The novel features a diverse cast of characters including guardian spirits, female ghosts, female Taoist priests, yakshas, ​​and fox demons. All characters are based on real-world figures. The author himself is a seasoned Taoist practitioner.

    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 also examines Daoist classics and local gazetteers including the *Daozang*, *Longhushan Zhi*, and *Maoshan Zhi*. 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's possible that one might not be able to understand it.
