    The protagonist is a cultivation failure, but a skilled farmer. Using his farming skills, he begins to swindle and cheat his way into building his own cultivation empire. His cultivation and combat power reach unparalleled among his peers, yet he remains incredibly cautious, his main tactic being to simply "hahaha" when encountering enemies, indiscriminately slaughtering his masters, senior brothers, and fellow cultivators.

    Both are farming and cultivation novels, focusing on daily life rather than action-packed thrills. The cultivation in these books revolves around spiritual fields, spiritual plants, and spiritual beasts, and they advocate following the natural way.

    Two highly recommended family-based cultivation novels! These don't feature the typical invincible protagonist storyline; instead, they focus on the family's generational inheritance, the survival and reproduction of its members, resource competition, and long-term development strategies. Watch as generation after generation paves the way for their family's gradual rise from a weak mortal clan, accumulating strength, cultivating spiritual lands, and exploring secret realms. The stories depict the struggles of ordinary people and the schemes of cultivators. Fans of slow-burning, in-depth family-themed novels shouldn't miss these!
