Cultivation Begins with Making Fire by Rubbing Sticks

To be honest, when I came in with this cover and title, I thought it was one of those books I was really looking forward to—a book about the origins of humanity and the origins of immortality. It's not that kind of melodramatic, prehistoric fantasy story, but rather a semi-realistic cultivation novel with a touch of soft science fiction. Unfortunately, that's not the case.

This is a rare cultivation novel that doesn't deliberately show off, unlike some books where every time someone tries to show off, others will see it and then praise it and spread it everywhere. Each spiritual practitioner has their own path, without deliberate effort or coercion, with a natural mindset, responding to events as they arise and leaving no trace afterward.

Let me explain why I love reading this book. I currently have dozens of ongoing novels on my Qidian bookshelf. These are all novels that I think are well-written, but I only read five of them every day, including this one. I won't mention the titles. I'm a long-time bookworm.

Recently, only "The Legend of the Chess Master" and this novel have such a fantastical feel.

Reading this book can help you relax @reader From "Investiture of the Gods" to "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" and now to various commercial novels in the Xianxia and Xuanhuan genre on Qidian, very few truly capture the essence of the Taoist cultivation philosophy of "following the natural way."

I read a bit, and it didn't feel like cultivation. The protagonist seemed indifferent to everything, adhering to the so-called "Tao follows nature." Many novels say the same thing. But I want to say: the Tao is about fighting for one's own life and competing with others for superiority. Only then can one gain the favor of heaven and earth, or perhaps transcend the mundane.

This book gives off a feeling of following the natural way, where everything arises from causes and conditions and ends when those causes and conditions cease. Those who cultivate themselves follow their own path, whether they are in the world or in the world, and their actions and conduct are all due to causes and conditions. Everything is a matter of fate.

I've had this book in my collection for a while, but I hadn't read it until I stumbled upon it during a reading slump these past few days. Unexpectedly, I was hooked! The whole story is a simple, straightforward farming and cultivation novel, which gives the reader a sense of peace and tranquility. I personally found it excellent and hope the author continues writing like this. I support you!

I love it! It makes me feel so relaxed and happy! 😊😊😊

Wanting to transcend the mortal realm and become a carefree immortal? Yet, being detached from the world isn't true detachment, and being engaged in it isn't true engagement either. Not wanting to display one's divine power in public? Yet, one still loves to show off in front of crowds. Not wanting to be caught up in the great calamity?
