    I recommend a down-to-earth, enjoyable cultivation novel: *The Mountain Guardian's Cultivation Journey*. Tired of those "rich, handsome, and powerful" cultivation protagonists who start with an aura of invincibility and constantly destroy the world? Then *The Mountain Guardian's Cultivation Journey* will definitely give you a refreshing change—it doesn't tell the story of unattainable immortal sect legends, but rather how a "native" mountain guardian forges a down-to-earth path of cultivation from the mountains. If you're looking for a novel that's grounded, relatable, and allows you to "cultivate in the mountains with a sense of security," *The Mountain Guardian's Cultivation Journey* is worth a try—after all, who doesn't love watching an "honest mountain guardian" turn their life into a cultivation legend?
