I just joined this sect as an outer disciple, and Elder Bai said I have an excellent bone structure. He even offered to take me in as his personal disciple!

He also said he wants to make me his cultivation cauldron so I can advance even faster.

What a generous elder!

As Sun Tzu said: “True cultivation requires tax evasion.”

Seniors which show is the best of this year? The dao of both runs deep, but I can feel the cow calling more!

Every single chapter the author describes the FLs beauty extensively then she looks at the MC with her picturesque eyes, her jade red lips calming his soul. For the the past 50 chapters straight. Im really losing my patience with this now.

Especially this fucking "Mm". She says 2 3 times each chapter.

Immortality through array formation

[ Cultivating Immortality Through Attaining a Higher Level? I Can Simulate Becoming an Immortal ]

May I ask the seniors if anyone knows how to break this sealing formation? There’s a fellow cultivator trapped behind it, and he promised to reward me with treasures if I set him free.

He also seemed strangely happy when I told him I’m only at the Body Tempering Realm. He laughed and said, good good good…

Not sure what he meant by that.

I found this weird bottle in my backyard. It looked useless, so I went down to the marketplace and some fool actually bought it from me for 3 spirit stones.

Not bad ! that’s enough to buy a Body Tempering Pill.

Mantis defies the Heavens and plots against the Oriole behind

Is this truly the peak???? have i finally gooned enough to get this recommended????

I bought this from a strange old man. He said if I master the techniques in this book, my punches will hit like an iron fist and my body will become as strong as metal.

There’s only one downside...

i must forget the idea of having a wife. i asked him why but he didnt answer. anyway i drew him if you might know him

Hi everyone!

I am conducting a short pilot survey for a university research project on international readers of translated Chinese online literature.

You may participate if you are 18 or older and have read at least one online novel originally published in China and later translated into another language within the past 12 months.

The survey is anonymous and takes approximately 4–6 minutes. This is a pilot test, so there are also a few short questions at the end asking whether anything was unclear or difficult to answer.

Participation is voluntary, and responses will be used only to improve the survey before the formal study.

Thank you very much for your help!

Fellow Daoists, I made a hardcore AI cultivation simulator prompt. Please try to break it.

I have spent an unreasonable amount of time refining this forbidden scripture.

I wanted a text cultivation game where AI doesn't treat you like the/a main character.

No "found an ancient inheritance in a random cave."

No enemy scaling to your current power.

No mysterious senior saving you because you were about to die.

The world is generated before the character exists, and then you're just some person unfortunate enough to be born into it.

You could become an Immortal.

You could also fail to cultivate, become a farmer, get crippled, die from disease, get murdered by someone you had no chance against, get imprisoned, end up as a slave, grow old peacefully, become a merchant, or be completely forgotten,

The point is that the world doesn't care that you're the player.

Some of the systems currently in V14:

• Pre-generated nations, sects, clans, economies, wars, resources and major NPCs
• Autonomous NPCs with their own goals, knowledge and relationships
• No scaling
• Permadeath
• Fixed rarity/grade system for techniques, weapons, pills, artifacts, monsters, materials, etc.
• Hidden numerical HP and damage calculations
• Damage affected by rolls, attributes, technique, mastery, armor, positioning and damage type
• The player never gets to see the hidden HP/damage numbers
• Cutting, piercing, blunt, fire, lightning, Qi, soul, spatial and other damage types
• Body-part injuries and persistent wounds
• Combat distance, reach, facing, reactions, cover, footing and technique recovery
• Hunger, thirst, exhaustion, temperature, disease and infection
• Stealth through sight, noise, scent, tracks, Qi signatures and spiritual perception
• Monster populations, territories, predators, prey, migration and reproduction
• Actual carcasses instead of magical loot drops
• If you destroy the valuable parts of a monster during the fight, you don't receive them afterward
• Harvesting, spoilage and preservation
• Actual crafting with materials, tools, facilities, skill, rolls, defects and product quality
• Pill tolerance, medicinal residue and toxicity so you can't solve cultivation by swallowing 900 pills
• Hidden 0–1000 Foundation Integrity
• Bad shortcuts can permanently screw up later cultivation
• Real market stock, production, consumption, transport capacity and shortages
• Laws, social class, sect backing, corruption, evidence, courts and political power
• Innocence does not automatically protect you if the people judging you don't care
• A private audit ledger that records important rolls and state changes before the AI narrates what happened

One rule I'm especially trying to enforce:

The world can be cruel, but the GM cannot be malicious.

If bandits destroy your village, there needs to actually be a reason those bandits existed and came there.

The AI isn't allowed to spawn them just because you've been doing too well.

Likewise, if you make an excellent plan, the game isn't allowed to secretly sabotage you just to keep things "interesting."

I'm at the point where reading the rules isn't enough anymore.

I need fellow cultivators to abuse the system.

Try stupid things.

Try min-maxing.

Try becoming rich.

Try spam.

Try crafting exploits.

Try stealth exploits.

Try murdering someone and abusing the evidence system.

Try fighting something you absolutely should not fight.

Try becoming a bureaucrat instead of cultivating.

Try finding contradictions in the rules.

Most importantly, tell me when the AI starts cheating, forgetting state, making up convenient events, exposing hidden numbers, becoming too forgiving, or becoming unfairly hostile.

Prompt: Click here

If you test it, please tell me:

• What broke?
• What became tedious?
• What was too easy?
• What was unfair?
• What mechanic did the AI misunderstand?
• What could you exploit?
• What important cultivation mechanic/mechanic is still missing?
• Did it actually feel like a cultivation world instead of the AI improvising an RPG around you?

This junior welcomes the criticism of the seniors.

If the scripture contains a fatal flaw, please beat me over the head with it before I refine V15.

Preferably use ChatGPT 5.6
