   I almost missed this book because of its title. It's a rare good cultivation novel. The golden finger is okay, and the principle of "heaven rewards diligence" means that as long as you work hard, you can achieve cultivation. In addition, there are no bottlenecks in any advancement. Everyone's stance is clear and their IQ is normal. There is a female lead who is also the male lead's wife from the beginning, and their marital relationship is normal and tolerant. I have read up to 140 chapters so far and there are basically no melodramatic or stupid plots.

The male protagonist transmigrates into the body of a low-ranking Manchu bannerman in the late Qing Dynasty (I only knew about the Eight Banners and the Plain Yellow Banner before, but I don't know the specifics). The story spans from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the War of Resistance against Japan, and the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's quite an achievement.

    Rated 9.5, with over 1000 chapters and over 500,000 readers, the story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity is rebuilt, divided into an upper and lower city. The power levels, or cultivation levels, are represented by spirit servants. A single spirit servant is the weakest, followed by ten, then a hundred, and so on, up to a thousand. Spirit servants are the spirits of the dead who can attach themselves to weapons. The more spirit servants a weapon has, the stronger the wielder becomes. With proper coordination, even a different weapon can be used. The story begins with the 18-year-old protagonist from the lower city, who excels in all subjects and hopes to be selected for the upper city to obtain medicine to revive his comatose mother. However, the spot is taken by a lower city dweller with 1/32th upper city blood. The protagonist is forced to become a "walker," a dangerous trade outside the city where survival means more money. He immediately encounters a conspiracy, resulting in many deaths. From this point on, more and more people are drawn into the story, and the protagonist's true identity becomes a mystery.

    The male protagonist transmigrates to the world of cultivation, born as an illegitimate son of a Foundation Establishment family. His cheat ability isn't too overpowered, the overall logic is reasonable, the plot is peaceful and natural, and it's not cynical or violent. It's a rare gem of a novel I've discovered recently. It's already close to ten million words, a truly substantial and satisfying read! Highly recommended!

    I frowned the whole time I read it. The male lead's personality was so ordinary that I didn't even want to complain about him. He had a lot of flaws. But the writing was good, and the characters were really like ordinary people in real life. I kept reading and didn't want to quit. The female characters were also hard to describe. The people he encountered and his group of subordinates were all not good. You could say that apart from the wolf and the dog, there were no good people. I even felt a little sorry for the wolf, White Claw.
