I’m looking for books similar to The Son of a Poor Family Becomes an Official. I don’t like CEO romances, and the male lead shouldn’t be too short-tempered. I prefer someone gentle, and the heroine shouldn’t be too spoiled. Infinite-flow stories or rule-based horror would also work.

Okay, I will create a story about the world of immortality according to your request. This story revolves around the protagonist Li Qingyuan's process of testing spiritual roots, showing a world of cultivation full of expectations. The following is my understanding of the story and creative ideas: ### Story summary - **Expectations in the world of cultivation**: It has been seven and a half years since Li Qingyuan traveled to the world of cultivation. He was born in the Li family, a third-rate Qi refining family. He is about to undergo the fateful spiritual root testing ceremony, and he is full of expectations and anxiety. - **Family Background**: Although the Li family is a small cultivation family, it has a complete cultivation inheritance. The head of the family, Li Changqing, is a monk in the foundation-building period. The family has spiritual roots in Qingfeng Mountain, which provides opportunities for cultivation for the younger generation. - **Spiritual Root Test**: During the test ceremony held in the family ancestral hall, Li Qingyuan was found to have rare "Wood and Fire Double Spiritual Roots", and the quality was excellent, which aroused the surprise and attention of the family owner and elders. - **The road to cultivation begins**: Li Qingyuan was accepted as a direct disciple by the head of the family, Li Changqing, and received cultivation resources such as the "Qingmu Jue" technique and storage bags, and officially embarked on the road to cultivation. - **Future Outlook**: The end of the story implies that Li Qingyuan will face various challenges and opportunities in the world of cultivation, and his special spiritual root constitution will also bring about a unique path of cultivation. This writing focuses on the whole process of Li Qingyuan's participation in the spiritual root testing ceremony, from his uneasy waiting to the surprising transformation of being detected with rare double spiritual roots, and the subsequent family attention and the beginning of the road to cultivation. --- Qingfeng Mountain, Li Family Ancestral Hall. Li Qingyuan stood among a group of children of the same age, twisting his clothes unconsciously with his fingers. The July sunshine slants in through the tall window lattice of the ancestral hall, casting mottled light and shadow on the bluestone floor. The air was filled with sandalwood and some strange smell that he couldn't describe - it was the smell of spiritual energy. Since traveling to this world, he has gradually been able to sense this mysterious existence. "Next, Li Qingyuan." The elder deacon's voice sounded like thunder in his ears. Li Qingyuan trembled, raised his head and looked forward. In the center of the ancestral hall is a piece of crystal clear jade, about three feet high, with complex patterns engraved on its surface - a spiritual jade, a magical tool for detecting spiritual roots. "Brother Qingyuan, it's your turn." Li Qingsong, the little fat man next to him, pushed him, his eyes full of envy, "I heard that your father was a Shanlinggen back then. You must be good at it." Li Qingyuan forced a smile, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak. He took a deep breath and stepped forward. Seven years ago, he stayed up late in the university library preparing for the final exam, and when he woke up, he became a baby in this world of cultivation. Seven and a half years of waiting, just for this moment. "Don't dawdle." The elder deacon urged with a frown, "Put your hand on the spirit-testing jade and concentrate." Li Qingyuan stretched out his slightly trembling hand and placed his palm against the cold surface of the jade. For a moment, he felt something pouring out of the jade, flowing down his arm and throughout his body. It felt like being crawled by thousands of ants, and like being soaked in warm water. It was very strange. There was silence in the ancestral hall. Everyone stared at the spirit-detecting jade with bated breath, waiting for it to reveal the child's spiritual root attributes. One second, two seconds, three seconds... There was no response from the spirit-measuring jade. Li Qingyuan's heart sank. Do I really have no spiritual roots? He thought desperately. In this world, not having spiritual roots means that you will never be able to practice and can only be a mortal. And he has already seen the methods of cultivators - flying with a sword, calling the wind and rain, living a long life... If he is destined to miss these... "Wait a minute." A gentle voice suddenly sounded. Li Qingyuan looked up and saw that the head of the family, Li Changqing, was standing next to the spirit-measuring jade. This monk in the foundation-building stage was his uncle by blood, and he rarely showed up, but at this moment, he was staring at the spirit-detecting jade with burning eyes. The moment Li Changqing finished speaking, the Spirit Testing Jade suddenly burst out with a dazzling blue light! "Mu Linggen!" The elder deacon exclaimed. Before the green light dissipated, another red light rose up inside the jade, intertwined with the green light, forming a strange two-color halo. "Two spiritual roots of wood and fire!" Li Changqing's voice was full of surprise, "and the quality is excellent!" The ancestral hall suddenly exploded. Dual spiritual roots are already a rare talent in the world of cultivation, not to mention being of high quality. Li Qingyuan stood there blankly, feeling the wonderful feeling of two different spiritual energies flowing through his body. The gentle nourishment of the wood attribute and the fiery and unrestrained fire attribute coexist harmoniously in his meridians, bringing unprecedented comfort. "Okay! Okay!" Li Changqing said the word "ok" twice, and stepped forward to hold Li Qingyuan's shoulders. "From today on, you are my direct disciple, Li Changqing." As soon as these words came out, the discussion in the ancestral hall became even louder. The head of the family personally accepted a disciple, which was the first time in the Li family's past century. Li Qingyuan saw the envious looks cast by the children around him, and even several family elders looked surprised. "Thank you, Master, for your cultivation!" Li Qingyuan quickly knelt down and gave a big salute. He could feel his voice shaking, but this time it was from excitement rather than fear. Li Changqing smiled and helped him up: "Call Master." "Yes, Master!" Li Qingyuan changed his words and felt a warm current in his heart. He can finally officially embark on the path of cultivation! After the ceremony, Li Changqing personally took Li Qingyuan to the family library. Pushing open the heavy sandalwood door, you are greeted by the rich fragrance of ink and the breath of time. There are many bookshelves in the pavilion, filled with various classics and jade slips. "Qingyuan, do you know why I value you so much?" Li Changqing stopped in front of a row of bookshelves, turned around and asked. Li Qingyuan thought for a moment: "Because of the disciple's dual spiritual roots?" "It's more than that." Li Changqing took down a blue jade slip from the shelf, "Your dual spiritual roots of wood and fire are of excellent quality, and their attributes are mutually complementary - wood generates fire. This combination of spiritual roots has natural advantages in alchemy and weapon refining. And my Li family started with alchemy." He handed the jade slip to Li Qingyuan: "This is the "Green Wood Technique" handed down from the ancestors of my Li family. It is most suitable for the cultivation of wood attribute monks. You can use this as a basis first, and then switch to more advanced techniques after establishing the foundation." Li Qingyuan took the jade slip with both hands and felt the faint spiritual energy contained in it. This is the cultivation method! He was filled with excitement. "In addition..." Li Changqing took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve, "This is a storage bag. It contains ten low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill. It is a meeting gift from my master." Li Qingyuan took the storage bag and poured a trace of spiritual power into it according to the method taught by Li Changqing. He immediately "saw" the inner space - about three feet square, with spirit stones and jade bottles neatly placed inside. This magical experience made his eyes widen. "The road to cultivation is long and arduous, talent is just the starting point."
These are the articles I have been reading recently, and there are also comics. The genres are quite diverse [shy] but they are all very interesting [blowing kiss]
