    Okay, here are some recommendations for traditional-style cultivation novels: - *Xuanxiao Immortal Lord*: By Yan Su, the novel is meticulous in its character portrayal and the setting of the cultivation world, reminiscent of *The Great Dao Contention*. - *The Strange Tales of Immortality: Beheaded at the Marketplace at the Start*: The protagonist transmigrates to an ancient world and is beheaded at the beginning, but miraculously survives by using the corpse, continuing to explore the strangeness of this world. In this novel, cultivators who make mistakes will become demons. The setting and writing are good, but the title is too discouraging. - *Immortality Begins with Slaying Demons and Eliminating Monsters*: The protagonist accidentally transmigrates to the cultivation world while playing a cultivation game, fortunately carrying his in-game talents. The writing is quite good, the plot is meticulous, and the protagonist's three talents are very interesting. - *Buddha's Staff Leaves No One Alive*: The protagonist transmigrates to the cultivation world and becomes a martial monk, obtaining a system that rewards both good and bad deeds. The protagonist only does good deeds, making it a Xianxia novel that fits the "chivalrous" aspect. - *Don't Seek Immortal Fate*: The protagonist transmigrates to a cultivation world with a comprehension system, instantly understanding any cultivation manual he reads. He then studies medicine while cultivating immortality. The novel's pacing is relatively slow, but the writing is good. - *I'm Really Not a Fallen Immortal*: The protagonist transmigrates to a cultivation world with the ability to make his imaginations come true, using this ability to enlighten others and roam freely within the cultivation world. The novel's writing style is humorous and witty.
