    1. "Master, this is just water! How much was diluted... No, I have to get an explanation from him!" Tao Mian lazily rolled over, basking in the sun. "Impulsive. You have an ounce of silver; you should go find a better tavern to buy wine." Yi Gou nodded, seemingly understanding. His master was indeed his master. At that time, he was young and didn't understand that his master wasn't really talking about wine. By the time he truly understood the deeper meaning, the peach blossoms had bloomed for another seven years. Yi Gou was sixteen years old, and every day he still made breakfast, fed the chickens, chopped wood, made lunch, pulled weeds, chopped wood, turned his master over from his afternoon nap in the yard, and made dinner... He had become a handsome young man, with an extraordinary air about him, and the village girls blushed when they saw him. Yi Gou was completely unaware; his life consisted only of Peach Blossom Mountain, Peach Blossom Temple, three chickens, flying cockroaches... And his master. On his sixteenth birthday, Tao Mian made a pastry for Yi Gou, filled with sixteen candles. "Make a wish, disciple. This is my secret recipe for a 'wish-fulfilling' cake; whoever makes a wish knows." Yi Gou smiled, his personality completely different from when he was a child, becoming much more reserved. "Then I wish for peach blossoms to bloom every year, for my three chicken brothers to be healthy, and for Master to be joyful and peaceful." Yi Gou wanted to make another wish, but his master had just said that he could only make three; any more wouldn't come true. He could only keep the last one to himself. Early the next morning, a strange man and woman knocked on the door of Peach Blossom Temple. "Master, I'll go open the door." Yi Gou said loudly to Tao Mian, who was cleverly fighting cockroaches in the courtyard, and went to open the door without waiting for a reply. Two unfamiliar faces looked at him, their eyes filled with undisguised joy and excitement. "Young Sect Master, your subordinate has come to take you back to the sect!" That day, the young man chatted with the two uninvited guests for a very long time. The young man hardly spoke; only the other two spoke anxiously. It wasn't until noon that the young man spoke his first words. "I have to go cook for my master. You two should go back today." "Young Master, how can you do such rough work? I can do it for you—" "No need to trouble you two," the young man said, a rare gentleness in his expression. "My master is picky. He even criticizes the food he cooks himself, let alone outsiders." The young man then bid farewell to the two and went back alone. He cooked lunch, pulled weeds, chopped firewood, turned his master over from his nap in the courtyard, cooked dinner... After dinner, Tao Mian usually went back to his room to rest, reciting scriptures until his even breathing could be heard after less than five counts. Yi Gou would clear the dishes before returning to his room. But Tao Mian didn't return tonight. He didn't ask anything during the day, but as if he knew everything, he asked the young man. "Yi Gou, are you leaving?" The young man put down his dishes, faced Tao Mian, knelt down, and stood amidst the desolate moonlight. "Yes, Master. This blood feud must be avenged. Otherwise, I will have no face to face my parents in the afterlife." He added, fearing Tao Mian would be heartbroken. "Peach Blossom Mountain will always be my home. When my revenge is complete, Master, I will return here, cooking and chopping wood every day, without complaint." But Tao Mian was still saddened; the boy had never seen such sorrow on his face. "Beyond the mountains are more mountains, beyond the peach blossoms are more peach blossoms. Yi Gou, you are going to chase after the peach blossoms on the horizon." "Master…" The boy gritted his teeth, raised his head, his eyes shining. "If Master is willing, then come down the mountain with me! Fame, fortune, wealth, and glory—whatever I have, I will give Master the best!" Tao Mian shook his head. "I only want the peach blossoms here." Before parting, Tao Mian gave his eldest disciple the best he possessed: a thousand-year-old peach wood sword and two cultivation manuals. …The news that Gu Yuan, the orphaned son of the old sect leader, wanted to reclaim the sect, and that Gu Yuan had an extremely powerful master protecting him, spread throughout the sect. Spring was warm and gentle, and Gu Yuan wanted to keep his master a few more days, but Tao Mian declined. "The peach blossoms on the mountain are blooming. Disciple, I must return." Gu Yuan knew he couldn't keep him, and though unwilling, he outwardly feigned generosity. "When would Master like to come out for a stroll? I'll send someone to carry you in a sedan chair." Tao Mian smiled— "Master's straw sandals are lowly, unfit for a high sedan chair. Disciple, when you have time, bring Consort Lu back to the mountain for a visit." Tao Mian left just like that, without a trace, and no one could stop him. Back on Peach Blossom Mountain, life was a little unsettled for a while, with people constantly disturbing his peace. Tao Mian never showed mercy to offenders, but he didn't abandon his cultivation like he had in recent days. He usually beat them black and blue before throwing them out of the courtyard. Over time, the offenders lost interest, and the violent conflicts gradually ceased. Occasionally, Tao Mian would find people to drink with, pulling them out of every nook and cranny and making them sit on stone benches. He would pour wine and share a meal. Later, these people even helped him chop wood and feed the chickens, allowing Tao Mian to enjoy his leisure. Letters from Gu Yuan came less and less each year; his apprentice was a very busy man, and his master was understanding. Only Wang Yatou from the village entrance came to inquire every year. Wang Yatou, from a little girl with pigtails, had gradually blossomed into a beautiful young woman, attracting more and more suitors, yet she waited patiently. Tao Mian told Wang Yatou, "Don't wait anymore. Little Master Gu has gone chasing after the peach blossoms in the sky." Wang Yatou was intelligent but stubborn. Only when Tao Mian told her not to wait did she finally shed tears, her heart broken. The peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Mountain bloomed and faded, and several more years passed. Wang Yatou had long since married, had a daughter, and lived a loving life with her husband. Tao Mian sat on the doorstep, shaking a rattle-drum, teasing the toothless child. Wang Yatou stood to the side. Becoming a mother had softened her nature, and she saw things more clearly. She asked if Master Tao was still waiting. Tao Mian's features were clear and distant, still the same as many years ago. He said, "The mountain is here, and I am here too. Neither the mountain nor I will leave. Those who leave, I will not keep, I will not chase, I will not wait, only remember." Master Tao had left the mountain several times in recent years, each time to help his disciple. When he left, Gu Yuan's enemies had to devote all their energy to dealing with him. The Peach Blossom Immortal had never tasted defeat. It was widely rumored that Tao Mian and Gu Yuan had a deep master-disciple relationship, and Gu Yuan's enemies tried every means to sow discord between them, unaware that Tao Mian was completely uninterested in these external disturbances; he only cherished those sixteen years. Master Tao never interfered with his disciple's decisions; he didn't even act like a master. If he wasn't going out, he would lie in the courtyard, basking in the sun and taking a nap. Only once did Tao Mian lose his temper with Gu Yuan. Huo Xinglan was Li Heshan's right-hand man, and Gu Yuan asked his master to intervene. Tao Mian stormed into the Huo family alone, crippling only Huo Xinglan and his sworn brother. He left the Huo family, taking two masterminds with him. But an hour later, Gu Yuan sent another group to wipe out the entire Huo family. He said to Gu Yuan, "When you were little, I took you up the mountain. I showed you the budding peach blossoms and sprouting grass, teaching you to cultivate your mind and nurture your spirit. The Huo family had eighteen members, children and old women. When your swift blade fell, did you consider your master's good intentions? Why did I leave the mountain and provoke the mortal world? Why did I only cripple your cultivation and not kill you? Disciple, if you want to avenge your parents and become the sect leader, I won't stop you. But I fear you will fight with demons, sink into the mire, and ultimately fall into hell yourself!" Tao Mian's earnest words were ignored by Gu Yuan. He said, "Master, you are too naive. Ruthlessness and treachery are written in the blood of the Huo family." If I am not ruthless today, my master will come to my grave to pay his respects tomorrow. How did Li Heshan treat my Gu family back then? I was just an infant, and he sent eight waves of pursuers, determined to wipe me out. Children grow up, learn hatred, and seek revenge without hesitation. I know this well, because that's how I've come this far. He said, "Master, I'm already imprisoned." Where is hell? I looked around, and hell was everywhere. Tao Mian was taken back to her room by Cheng Chi. In his later years, Cheng Chi recalled that scene as if it were yesterday. He followed half a step behind Tao Mian, feeling that Tao Mian was like a porcelain vase with cracks, the fissures constantly eroding the intact parts, like a spider web. Consort Lu finally couldn't endure it any longer. Leaving Peach Blossom Mountain, her vitality was greatly diminished. As an exceptionally long-lived rooster, Tao Mian gave her a grand funeral, her ashes placed in a small, palm-sized box, and left Qingmiao Peak with her. The usually jovial Master Tao suddenly became quiet and silent. Aside from Wang Yatou, who could exchange a few words with him, he almost never left his room. Letters from the Qingmiao Sect ceased. Five or six years later, the long-interrupted correspondence resumed, from once every six months to every three months, two months, and then once a month… Wang Yatou heard from a peddler that the Qingmiao Sect had a new master, a young man surnamed Gu. The gates of the Peach Blossom Temple were open frequently again. Tao Mian received a new letter; Gu Yuan was again rambling on about his sect. At first, he talked about important matters like changing hall masters, but now it was all trivial stuff—trees being moved from the mountain gate, chickens fighting in the mountains—he would go on and on. Without exception, the ending was—"Master, I'll send someone to fetch you to enjoy a peaceful life." Tao Mian felt it was unnecessary. If his disciple was struggling, he would help. If his disciple was doing well, he naturally didn't need to show his face. He went to the Qingmiao Sect once, surrounded by a large entourage. Tao Mian didn't like that. Days passed, and Wang Yatou's maids were all of marriageable age. Another letter arrived from the Qingmiao Sect. It was still about trivial matters, but the ending was different. This time, Gu Yuan said she wished she could see her master. Tao Mian sensed something unusual and panicked. He rushed to the Qingmiao Sect that very night, without having time to pack anything. He thought about all the letters he'd received over the years. "My peach blossoms died; I don't know how to plant them. When will Master take a look?" "The fish in the pond were taken by a cat. That cat lingered for days, and I couldn't bear to chase it away. Now it's harmed the carp family in the pond. Master, please come and see this cat. You always get along well with these furry creatures." "I've been cultivating good deeds; I committed many evils in my youth, so it's no wonder Master is angry with me for being cruel." "A silver hair has grown at my temple this morning; perhaps Master still looks like I did when I was young. When we meet, Master, please don't mistake me for someone else." "The peach blossoms have finally bloomed; I wish I could see Master." The Qingmiao Sect suffered a great loss. Sect Master Gu Yuan, long ill, ascended to immortality. Tao Mian touched the dark coffin, recalling that day when he lifted a baby from the bathtub. The sunlight was warm, and sparrows chirped. He said, "Let's go back to Peach Blossom Mountain." 2.

    Is everyone going to read this? The title is kind of corny, but it's really good. The male lead is very realistic and doesn't have any overly powerful abilities, unlike other novels where the male lead is almost godlike. Both the male and female leads are very charming, and the author has a dry humor, occasionally throwing in a really funny line.

    The first book is pure action and very enjoyable. The second book is Ultraman Seven from the old Oma Zi-O series, which is full of Ultraman spirit in terms of plot. The third book is about an old city dweller's time travel to Zero and the new Irisviel's retirement life. The fourth book has a slight destructive element to the leader and some JoJo elements. Overall, it is a super team story with a certain degree of fun. The fifth book is about the Lost Iron Dark Lops Unit-02 searching for the meaning of life and finally creating Lugiel's extreme. It is a villain-like book with a strong personality. The overall plot is not very interspersed, and it basically maintains the original plot while making the narrative performance of the teammates memorable.
