Shen Nong came and read the latest chapter in one breath. I think this book can be evaluated as a quasi-immortal. Let me tell you what I think of this book! For those who plan to enter the pit, you can refer to it. First of all, the most important elements of this book are personal cultivation of immortality, the development and cultivation of sects, and wars in the world of immortality. Many novels about cultivating immortals are about individuals fighting alone. Even if there is a protagonist who develops in power, they usually copy some embarrassing modern business wars. The conflict between forces is basically a competition arena, or it is the protagonist breaking through and challenging a group, and there is no sense of the existence of any sect at all. This book can be regarded as a good balance between the power of cultivating immortality and the collective power of the sect. Moreover, the characters are not stereotyped, and many important characters have their own personalities. It is not like many books, where the characters are all modeled after the same mold, and they are completely the author's puppets. Finally, the author's outline is good. The plots and foreshadowings are consistent. The plot is arranged compactly and there are very few meaningless transitional chapters. Finally, after writing so much, the author can add some details for me 🤓
Thoughts after reading Chapter 370
I have read more than 300 chapters, and I feel that the advantages are very outstanding, but there is also one thing that I have always felt is not appropriate: in determining the subject matter, the important element of immortality has been retreating and giving way, and whether the fragmented structure of immortality can be repaired. 1. As time goes by, the emphasis becomes more on fighting for hegemony and less on cultivating immortality. The element of fighting for hegemony and power is well written, which is an advantage, but the element of cultivating immortality is given too little attention and too little thought. The work is originally about business and hegemony in the context of cultivating immortals. No matter how brilliant it is, it can never be divorced from the larger context. The ultimate goal of cultivating immortality is to achieve transcendence, and how to cultivate must be an indispensable element. If it does not describe the various processes of cultivation, the dialectical relationship between cultivating one's nature and cultivating one's life, and downplays the process expression and logical theory of refining alchemy, refining treasures, and practicing magical powers, the most important piece of the puzzle is missing. 2. On the one hand, authors who like the theme of cultivating immortals will unknowingly "put down the book" (losing its emotional value), and have the idea of "it is indeed a good book, but I just don't want to read it, so just keep it on the bookshelf". On the other hand, the rough description makes loopholes in the logic of the world view. For example, from the current point of view, at least the difference in the cultivation of Jindan is really only the speed of upgrading (the significance of spiritual roots is diluted, the difference between exercises is diluted, the practice process is diluted, and the difficulty of passing the level is diluted). In particular, the setting of the foundation building in the destined place is simply difficult to understand, and it is simply set for the purpose of creating plot conflicts. The logic here is that when the relationship between foundation building and personal practice fades away, the biggest correlation becomes destiny and luck and the size of the force. The best deduced result is that downstream forces and casual cultivators cannot exist at all. The game of resources is a zero-sum game (even including the so-called destined base building location, enclosure of land is enough, my own land is not more convenient than borrowing it?), And the cost of becoming a talent is too cheap (currently, the only restriction for refining base building is resources, at least in the novel, it is currently shown. This is what appears. No matter how good the so-called foundation-building vision is, it will not resonate without foreshadowing, let alone whether the spiritual roots are good or bad. The so-called spiritual seedlings are also a matter of resources). When a force controls the most resources, it can cultivate the most grassroots forces. , When you have the most grassroots power, you can rob and digest more resources, and then you can continue to expand your power. This cycle has no restrictions and will inevitably continue indefinitely (at present, the expansion of monks has no restrictions on the world view). It will always be the first-mover advantage at the scale level. Under the Matthew effect, this gap will grow exponentially. Not only will there be no overtaking opportunities, but the so-called small sects and casual cultivators will completely disappear from the grassroots level. There will never be a big sect dominating the small sects. Wouldn't it be more delicious to become your own? 3. The reason for the above extreme results, looking back, is still the lack of elements of cultivating immortality. Why do many novels talk about cultivating both nature and life? That is to increase the difficulty of cultivation, using various factors such as understanding, Taoist heart, etc., To ensure that it is difficult to choose one from a hundred, one from a thousand, or one from ten thousand with the same resources. The success rate ensures that the growth of monks is always at a stable level, which is the so-called competition to de-resource. Therefore, these cultivation elements must be written rigorously. Monks are not leeks in the field. They grow as needed. They are not historical conscription. In this context, they are definitely "high-tech arms", otherwise the logic will not make sense. Then the elements such as elixirs and magic weapons are a little too exaggerated. So far, there have only been a few names of elixirs. From manufacturing to classification description, there is no system. Magic weapons have almost no concept, and even numbers and rank designations are left. The protagonist does not use magic weapons. As we write this, won't the battle scenes become more and more difficult? You can't just take out a magic weapon that you've never mentioned before from your pocket and use it to hit someone, right? 4. In a world where great power belongs to individuals, individual strength is actually superior to that of the group. No matter how many forces operate and compete for hegemony, taking advantage of the situation of unequal individual strength will always be a tightrope walk, because the cost of failure is so high that one person can destroy everything. Therefore, writing this subject itself requires balancing the two. How a person's strength growth is reflected is a planned, systematic and process of personal cultivation, including everything about cultivating immortality; it is also skills and equipment (gongfa, magical powers, magic weapons, etc.) That have different characteristics and advantages, so as to widen the gap in status under the same conditions and highlight personal strength. Of course, it is okay to outline the process of these contents, but the result is like a castle in the air, and there are only shortcomings in character creation. The intuitive manifestation is the battle scene. It is really exciting to watch, because there is no emotional value like a magic weapon being sacrificed or a magical power being used that makes people full of expectations, because no one knows what is in the pocket (except for the formation). And there is no step-by-step process. When I write about how to show combat effectiveness when high-ranking monks fight, I can't just start patching and learning from the golden elixir. Or even result-oriented, just dig it out and skip the process? Ps. And the so-called natal-like magical powers generated during foundation building are really not very sophisticated at present. Are teleportation and invisibility really not useful? It's not even as interesting as the magical power of the monk who used his life to endure disasters. 5. The last thing I don't understand is why the design of the exercises is so rough. The first is the source problem. Yuan Mizhu has almost become a universal patch. If you take out a secret book of exercises, you can use this patch. If you need it, you can use it. How can you make it profound if it is too easy to get? The second is the issue of distinction. Most of them only talk about the differences in speed and attributes. Is this too superficial and leaves no trace at all? The third is the issue of inheritance. What does the inheritance of a sect rely on? I think the skills must be the most fundamental. If it is not integrated or invented, what is the situation of constant iteration? Techniques and other methods can be compiled. The name of the fundamental method "True Sutra" is for orderly inheritance, rather than a book cover and directory. A sect cannot even unify its practice methods into one system or several types, so how can it have permanence? What kind of ideological education can withstand the same practice route, the same practice performance, and the same understanding and convergence of Tao in the body? This issue is actually worth thinking about, and I look forward to the author's subsequent fixes. Yangsasa wrote almost two thousand words, why did I write so much. I don't want to complain, this book is really good, it has details and stories, and the pace is not too slow (even the volume is a bit too fast). I just suggest that the author does not get stuck in the struggle for hegemony. After all, it is still a category of cultivating immortals. You need to practice. If it doesn't work, just treat the "cultivation" content as interlude and adjust the rhythm appropriately. I think the reason for the decline in performance is the name change, but I am sure the content needs to be adjusted somewhere, so I have to think carefully about it. The above suggestions are family opinions, just take a look and don't need to take them seriously. Come on, author!
Brief book review and author advice
I still say that there are too many details about the battle, but there is no ingenuity. There is nothing to see if it is pure force against force. Your combat power is 1000, my combat power is 1050, you take drugs to 1100, and I take drugs to 1200. It's really easy to get tired of watching the cycle of rising combat power. Just like painting, huge commercial posters, what's the point of tying up your hair? Who would look at it with a magnifying glass? If the author likes to write, then he can do some technical work, such as a battle of wits. Also, it is too centered around the protagonist, not the Yunshan faction. Except for the protagonist and the harem who are relatively three-dimensional, the rest of the supporting characters are a bit stereotyped and there are some miscellaneous things that I won't mention. The whole article feels like it is very solidly written, but after reading it, why do I remember it? When I think about it, it seems to be really good, but I definitely don't want to keep reading it on my bookshelf. This is why people in the comment section always say why it is not popular, because the large frame seems too ordinary. In addition, the donkeys in the production team did not dare to rest like this.
This book is good to read. It contains farming management, passionate battles, love between children, and sects competing for hegemony. The story is full of blood and tears, and is much better than ordinary books about mindless upgrades and treasure hunts. Book friends should support the author more and recommend it to other book friends. Good books are hard to come by, so book friends need monthly subscriptions and recommendation tickets.

Let me write a "book review" today and be a Shennong: I have been chasing this book every day. As a bookworm for more than ten years, this book is very suitable for me. The following is a brief summary of the main characters currently appearing in different realms. I hope it can provide a reference for the majority of book friends. If there are any errors, please point them out🙏🙏🙏
Shennong after full booking, save money: the second half is very disappointing
The first 20% are pretty good, at least they are grass jelly, but things start to go wrong later on. . . . . . Especially when the author wanted to highlight the protagonist's feelings towards the sect and other people's feelings towards the sect, it was a complete mess. . . . There are four reasons: 1. Although the Xuanguang faction pursued the Yunshan faction because they escaped before the battle, Feng Zhenren did it because the protagonist insulted him in public, and according to the fact that Feng Zhenren would rather not fight with Mo Shen and chase the skeleton, the protagonist should have died on the spot at that time. How much shame can he still fly away? Yiguang didn't start a fight with Zhenren Feng at that time? The author insists on defending, regardless of logic 2. The conflicts are rigid. The author of Han and Wen wants to create a character with deep love. However, when Han and Wen want to take back the Shahe Gang, they would rather have a deadly feud with the protagonist than try it out. I think the author has created him into a character like Tang San, regardless of the author. How much the author described how he fell in love with his partner, but what the author directly presented is that he used his wits to attack without any temptation. First, he definitely couldn't kill Elder Gu, which is completely certain. Second, under the first premise, it means that he offended four Zhuji who had no worries at the same time. The reason is just because He doesn't want to share the spirit stone mine with the protagonist, which is completely contrary to his most fundamental desire: to save his wife's life, so the conflict is too rigid and even unreasonable 3. The deus ex machina solves the writing problem, under the influence of the previous two major poisonous points, or in other words, the author's unlimited desire to create a protagonist who values friendship and wisdom. Under the delusion of a little war, and at the same time directly reducing the subjective initiative of the supporting characters around the protagonist, the author solved the conflict twice by mechanical deity in a row. The first time was to directly write the beads to Wu Yan, making the protagonist and the real person Jin Dan directly hostile, and the winner was obtained. Why didn't you just write that the protagonist was promoted to the real person Yuanshen? The second deus ex machina was to prevent the protagonist from directly exposing the beads to the broad field of vision. Another one suddenly appeared, Zangfeng Zhenren, who was not mentioned before, and forcibly saved the protagonist. Note that I am not talking about whether the author dug a hole or whether there was any explanation later. I am talking about the lack of foreshadowing for such a character. It is unreasonable to show it directly, and it is full of excessive coincidences, which greatly affects the logic of the article 4. In order to highlight The protagonist, his harem, and other members of the Yunshan sect are either stereotyped or pig-farming. The ones that impressed me the most were actually Zhang Lemei and Jiang Baitao, whom I hate the most. In order to portray the protagonist, a lot of unreasonable coincidences were arranged, which also greatly reduced the ability of other people in the protagonist's sect. The main character is one, and everyone else is a pig. The protagonist will be taken away when the time comes. This is unreasonable, especially for the description of Yang Jiye and others. There is only one word to describe it. Rong, he is not qualified, he panics when things happen, and when he does something wrong, he just thinks that the protagonist can wipe his ass, and then further causes the plot logic to collapse. The protagonist is a firefighter, and he cannot be saved, which leads to a very bad impression later on, as well as some disgusting behaviors of other characters that are not important, such as the guy who practices Mei Gong. This is not how I wrote about the harem, it makes it look like the author has no emotional experience Summary: This book collapsed, and the back part is really dull, because it is originally a farming type, and the adventure in the front is to avoid taking risks later. The small characters do not have the ability to directly intervene in the current situation. If it is forced many times, and the author wants the logic to be complete, there will only be one result - the sect falls apart. The protagonist may or may not be able to escape.

Let me briefly introduce the plot of this book.
This book does not start with spiritual veins, opening a mountain gate, recruiting disciples, and farming. On the contrary, the protagonist faced the difficult situation of having his sect destroyed at the beginning, with no spiritual veins, no mountain sect, and no disciples. The first "Ping without Roots" and the second volume "Eagle Breaking Out of the Shell" mainly show the process of how the protagonist uses his intelligence and strength to overcome obstacles, start a business with difficulty, and re-establish a faction. This process is something I don't want to and can't omit. After obtaining the spiritual vein in the second volume, starting from the third volume "Flying with Wings", you will enter the plot of sect management, farming and hegemony. Because book friends always ask about it recently, I would like to explain it here. This is purely the creative idea of this book. There is no need to argue about it. Thank you everyone for your support! 🌹🌹🌹
Let's change the name to "Cultivation of Immortality Begins with Escape with Senior Sister" 😁
The author has quick thinking and superb writing style. I read all the 200 chapters from morning to noon without stopping for a moment, and I was really impressed. A monthly ticket has been given to me, but I am too short of money and have no reward. I hope the author will forgive me. I just hope that the author will not interrupt the update and not be a eunuch. The day when the book is finished is when the reward will be given.
