Cultivation? Ain't Got No Money For That! 没钱修什么仙?
The old man asked, “You want revenge?” The boy replied, “I’ve been humiliated again and again by the powerful, and my master considers me trash. How could I not want revenge?” The old man patted the boy’s head and sighed. “Good boy, let me pass my cultivation power on to you.” The boy exclaimed, “Senior! How could I accept that?” The old man held out his hand. “Give me your phone.” Watching the changes on his phone, the boy cried out in shock, “Senior! Where did all this hundred-year cultivation

Oxen, horses, snakes, and spirits roam, while a young man becomes addicted to chanting and spins one bizarre tale after another about immortality. A story of cultivating th

Heavenly Official of Blessings and Virtue 福德天官
When the false is taken for true, even the true becomes false; when nothing is mistaken for something, even something becomes nothing. A fake Earth God: I shall become the cycle of reincarnation! A real Earth God: Once I kill you, I’ll set up a grand feng shui formation and give you a nice-looking burial mound. A fake Earth God: Great virtue bears all things. A real Earth God: Not bad. I’ll take that. Heavenly treasures belong to whoever has the virtue to claim them. Fake Earth God: Honest and s

Less Popular Books Recommended by a Thirty-Year Veteran Reader
I've been reading for decades, but my cultural background isn't particularly strong, so I'm no expert judge. I tend to like accessible, mainstream books, often aimed at younger readers. Having read so much, though, my tastes have become quite specific. I can only stick with books that feel truly distinctive. I'd like to share my tastes, and I hope fellow readers with similar interests will recommend some books to me.
