There are five kinds of immortals in the world!
Heaven, earth, humanity, gods, and ghosts correspond to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!
Human immortals belong to metal. They seek the imperishable nature of metal, gathering the vital essence of metals and stones and the finest spiritual radiance to refine their own supernatural powers. Yet they risk the poisons of cinnabar and mercury, which erode the human body.
Heavenly immortals belong to wood. Rooted in the heavens and both male and female, they greedily pursue pleasure, reducing the spiritual essence of all things to dust in their quest for the Dao and eternal life. Yet they risk falling prey to the Six Desires Heavenly Demons.
Ghost immortals belong to water. They gather and refine the moonlight of the yin and the sinister energy of subterranean veins to temper their yin spirits. But in the end, yin spirits that endure ten thousand tribulations cannot attain sainthood, and they remain trapped in confusion and obsession.
Divine immortals belong to fire. They worship the Dao with incense and use faith as their fuel, guarding a region with unmatched merit and fortune. Natural and man-made disasters cannot touch them, but they risk being poisoned by the incense offerings.
Earth immortals belong to earth. They steal the dragon fortune of the earth's veins, turning themselves into blessed lands and grotto-heavens. They enjoy long lives and contend with dynasties for their fate, but risk transforming into mountains, marshes, lakes, and peaks.
All five kinds of immortals model themselves on heaven and earth to attain their status.
Yet in the end, they are no more than grubs in heaven and earth, cocooning themselves in their own bonds!
Only by holding fast to one's own heart and nature, untouched and unmoved by external things, can one attain the Dao!
But the good have become demons, and the wicked have become immortals!
Attain the Dao, attain the Dao: black and white reversed. What kind of Dao have we even been cultivating?
If one is a demon to begin with, how can one stray from the Dao?
So let us take the classics and Daoist canon of Shenzhou as our foundation, borrow the path of cultivation, and forge a grand and righteous road!
Become an immortal, become a sage! Become a god, become a demon! Become the Dao itself!

Well, the protagonist's character is complex, but for an ordinary modern person to arrive in ancient times and, without a word, find a wolf's eye and kill it with a single shot—that's like starting math class on the first day and immediately joining a math expert in studying mathematics.
I suggest you don't include a romance storyline; it's terrible.
The author didn't write about the eyes at all, it was about the back... Secondly, modern compound bows have a strength-saving function, which allows even users with less strength to draw a heavier bow. The strength saving ratio of compound bows is between 60% and 90%. As for whether it is easy for beginners to use, you can learn a little from online tutorials.
The Five Immortals—Heaven, Earth, Man, God, Ghost, and Immortal—are a concept from the Daoist alchemy tradition. They appeared in the Great Elixir Direct Pointing or the Wuzhen Chapter and represent different paths of cultivation. Heavenly Immortals follow the Great Dao of Heavenly Immortals, which is the highest level.
I hope the author won't lean towards the prehistoric era when creating modern settings (I'm sick of seeing it) 😰. Either create your own setting or lean towards a classical one.
There's too much screen time devoted to romance; we're here to see cultivation stories.
Neither ghosts nor immortals, there were none.
After finishing it, to summarize: the fantasy genre was very well written and engaging, but the modern romance was a mess.
This plot wouldn't be affected at all without modern life; it could actually be designed as a time travel to that world. After all, simultaneously promoting spiritual energy revival in the modern world is a difficult task for the author to handle.
Very good, a new twist on an old dish.
The overall structure and relationships are acceptable. Author, if you're not suited to writing romance, just write it simply; I almost thought it was erotica. You need to understand that your appeal lies in the otherworldly genius revenge and the modern-day "I am the only law-abiding" dynamic. These two points need to be emphasized. You've oversimplified the romance, especially with so many useless and ridiculous actions in the modern setting.
