The standard life of a xianxia protagonist is a known cliché. Enter a sect, cultivate for some time, beat up young masters, participate in tournaments, journey forbidden realms, and face constant life-and-death situations.Through sheer plot armor, survive all odds and become the strongest being in the universe in the shortest time possible.That's the standard.Lin Yi didn't want to do any of that. Reincarnated into a cultivation world of Xianxia, he only wants to cultivate in peace and explore the mysteries of the immortal path.So, when he was accepted by an immortal sect as a disciple at a young age, he did exactly that. He steadily cultivates the immortal dao. ——— What to expect: -An untypical cultivation protagonist who wants to stay home and cultivate properly instead of exploring and fighting to compete for resources. -A classical xianxia cultivation system more profoundly refined and deeper extended with a personal touch and some influence of real-life Daoism. -A cultivation world that makes more sense, at least in my opinion. -No face slapping, no cliche young masters, no grandpa in a ring, and no powerful cheat or panel system.
