Cultivating Immortality and Longevity: Beginning by Controlling My Vital Essence

The martial arts training part was alright at first. But the more the protagonist cultivated immortality, the dumber he became. He lacks self-awareness and completely fails to understand his own strengths. A mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator plotting a top-tier cultivation technique for a powerful Golden Core cultivator—what was he thinking?

Reading the whole thing is a smooth and enjoyable experience, with a plot that doesn't have many twists or turns, or deliberately provoking events. Most things happen naturally, so the characters are generally intelligent and don't deliberately cause trouble for the sake of the plot, making it a comfortable and immersive read. I hope this continues.

These are some thoughts after seeing a hundred or so pictures; I'm just writing down whatever comes to mind. 1. The identity of a time traveler is just an identity; the knowledge from the past is truly useless. 2: After all that time spent on martial arts, they just completely removed the character panel for cultivation? Couldn't they have combined them? 3: What is the Longevity Path?

I ordered four chapters, and then this is it 😅 I tolerated the overused novels about protagonists with five spiritual roots a few years ago. I also tolerated the even worse plot point of a senior with five spiritual roots producing a genius who wanted to use his inherited cultivation method to follow his path. But then, a group of people plus a Foundation Establishment cultivator putting on an act for over ten years for real is just ridiculous.

The martial arts training chapters show that the author has his own ideas, but when it comes to the cultivation of immortality chapters, it becomes formulaic. Seeing the protagonist practicing martial arts and lying low for many years, one would think that he would follow the path of cultivating immortality through martial arts, but it turns out to be the same old spiritual root system.

Who is this author, and whose pseudonym are you? Your writing style is so skillful; the flow between the lines is so smooth; the world-building is comprehensive and the logic is rigorous; you are neither arrogant nor impatient; you exude the air of a true master.

... Cultivation novels these days are becoming increasingly rigid. Since you've already achieved immortality, instead of pinning your hopes on ethereal legends, why not create your own system to continue the path of martial arts? At the very least, pursue both immortality and cultivation simultaneously.

I can't afford to read books anymore. All of them have such strong anti-piracy measures.

A Foundation Establishment Pill costs 50,000 to 60,000 spirit stones. What was the author thinking? A top-tier first-order talisman master and array master only earns a little over 10,000 spirit stones in twenty years. And that's only because the protagonist only earns and doesn't spend.

The author deliberately created a plot outline by depicting a top-tier true scripture with five spiritual roots and then offering a bounty. However, the author added unnecessary details, making the simple plot illogical and unintelligent in the pursuit of excitement.
