It's alright. The cultivation progress is as slow as a tortoise crawl. Even though he had already opened his spiritual apertures within the exquisite realm and had the aid of the Mystic Mirror, he only managed to induce Qi after dozens of chapters... I can hardly imagine how many chapters it would take to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and what the reasons would be if I wanted to speed things up.
Many people say this book is slow-paced, and it is indeed a bit slow, but what's amazing is that the slow pace actually drew me in and made me read it in one go. The slowness is just right. Impressive.

Take a look! Today, in this blessed land, Lin Er will perform a dance of two donkeys spinning a flying wheel for the villagers… Please support us, fellow villagers!
It's too plain, and it even suppresses the protagonist's cultivation level. It's not very interesting!
A very strange way of writing
Slice-of-life fantasy novels are only suitable for farming/development stories, but yours focuses on building relationships, which isn't a wish-fulfillment novel. The protagonist's weak combat abilities, compared to wish-fulfillment novels, will only lead to more readers leaving as the word count increases, and the romance will make zero progress.
This book needs a new title: "How to Gather Spirit Ginseng After a Mortal's Journey to Immortality." I bought over 200 copies; they're all about how to gather spirit ginseng to level up.
Strengths: Fluent writing style, mature interpersonal skills, and logical flow. Cons: Lacks a satisfying experience, the plot is uninspired, the scene descriptions are too small-scale, and the rating is too low.
It's well-written, but your cheat code is completely useless. Even if you go to the Taoist temple, you'll still be practicing martial arts; you won't have any spiritual energy at all.
Using such a huge cheat code, yet cultivating so slowly, it's fucking ridiculous.
Book Summary: The story of a young cultivator who is toyed with by three fairy sisters, and even loses his virginity to one of them, without even knowing who she was.
