    🔥🔥🔥A super interesting fantasy novel!!! The protagonist Li Chuan joins the Yin Yang Sect, which is known as a fairy who changes Taoists more often than clothes. He thought he was being cheated, but unexpectedly discovered that as long as he had spiritual stones, he could form an immortal relationship with his senior sister, senior uncle, etc. There is no systematic setting in the book, but it makes readers laugh with its unique setting of the world of cultivating immortals and its relaxed and humorous language style, such as ridiculing the Yin Yang Sect as the "Club Cultivation Sect". It ranks high in the fantasy imagination category and is well worth reading. [Laugh]
