Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In the glorious modern 21st century, an old fogey who’s stayed up in the mountains for who knows how many years borrows a body, carrying pocketfuls of silver dollars, and heads down into the city for the sake of reviving his sect.

Then he realizes that in order to revive his sect, he needs land, housing, renovation, workers, insurance…. a whole mess of items. Modern entrepreneurs really have it rough. Earning money is hard, working is hard, and when his stomach grumbles, he can only sustain himself on the likes of wandering souls and wild ghosts.

The Wei family’s eldest son, beaten by his father and neglected by his mother, was sent back months after going missing. But his personality has undergone a major change, his mood became unstable, and his martial abilities turned extraordinary. Anyone who rubs him the wrong way will inevitably receive a beating.

Neither an obedient child nor a serious actor anymore, instead engaging in superstitious activities all day long. How could things have gone this far?

This story starts with lots of hilarious scenes that made me laugh so hard. MC is too OP, and 'innocent'? His real identity is mysterious at the beginning of the story, but if you've read a lot of chinese mythical creatures/gods, you can easily guess MC's identity. ML spoiled MC a lot while being jealous of his own self, and he bragged to others everytime MC gave him something or show affection to him. At first the interaction between them was like a master and a dog?, because ML was... more>> rich in yang qi and MC like to feed on him.

One thing I didn't expect at the beginning was...

Spoiler

I thought MC's first disciple was just a normal human!

[collapse]

MC is too OP that I felt pity for those who met him, and especially those who ended up being eaten up by MC.

The plot might look a bit repetitive, with new characters appear, MC defeat/solve them, the sect get bigger, then the cycle repeats. Anyway this story does not conform to the normal norm, it is filled with brain-hole characters, but just have fun with the ride. <<less

MTL Completed, readability 70%.

This novel had no seriousness and the complexity at all, anything that should turn into a major or severe event in other cultivation novels, would turn into comedy here.

However MC personality was not talkative or easy going, it's his action and his three views that were challenging to follow.

Most importantly, he was a Gary Stu through and through. It's like he's the heavenly Dao most beloved child without even the heaven acknowledgement of it.

I hope this book will gains more readers in the future. Please leave a review as well.

I know it's still early to give a full star, coz I'm only at chapter 40+. But the story is really promising.

The MC is really OP, extremely OP. ? He has a bad temper as well, the way he 'exorcist' the ghost is by eating them-he literally ate them- ? I laugh so hard whenever they ghost raiding, when he think he can eat the evil ghost it turn out they're not evil at... more>> all. He can't eat pure soul, his master made him promise that. The only thing can soothe his feeling by making the ghost as Taicang sect's employes ?

ML and MC know each other back then. MC has no memories about it. From at the current chapters, back then whenever they meet they always bicker ? Maybe because ML has a thick yang aura around him (MC love to eat) ? <<less

This story is very entertaining. I always laughing out loud in my room every time I read where MC does things that are not norm for the people especially during encountering the ghosts (poor normal people). MC is a bit naive but it was understandable as his shifu/master didn't teach him much about human social interaction. You should know

Spoiler

MC eats everything and I mean everything.

[collapse]

I can't wait for the MC and ML to be together and I wonder how will the MC understand that certain feelings for the ML.

Overall, the story is plenty hilarious and in general, enjoyable to read. WeiXi and his companions are really, really chaotic and it's so funny.

Spoiler

I thought that there would be a lot of infuriating family drama but it's actually not the case. It's a relief that such issues are handled fairly quickly.

The lack of common sense in this novel is the Best part of it AT ALL!!! THE BEST MOMENTS!!

It lack of Common sense in unusual way I would say.

One part of it was the relationship between MC and ML. Their past is Mystery. ML seems to know and don't know MC at the same time? At least that's what I get. But the lack of common sense wasn't about that part. ... more>>
Spoiler

Their First time meeting have MC immediately pounce ML to try to eat him because ML's Heavy Yang Qi. But ML is too strong physically as in MC can't take a chunk of his meat (?). He can left bite mark though.

Anyway ML painted as this Cold Aloof guy. At first it seems he would feel disgusted by MC bite and lick his skin, neck, fingers, etc. And he did frowned at the beginning and tried to push MC away. But somehow he still end up 'let' MC bite and suck his finger.

Anyway he doesn't shy away from MC after that; personal space, skin touch, etc. One reason was to watch over MC for security reason. The other is... He seems to have affection for sure toward MC. So subtle if not for the fact his jealousy was so obvious to us Readers.

[collapse]

Other than the chemistry between MC and ML, of course other part was about the Ghost system.

I'm only in the 30ish chapter so far, so I can't tell what's wrong with the Supernatural thing in this world novel.

The most favorite beside the relationship between the CP is definitely the Wei Family dynamic.

I love how in the beginning we seems to expect the family would be like other novel where they're annoying or evil and there's Faceslapping going on. But no no no. MC don't let that happen.

Spoiler

He immediately take control of the whole house. He basically can't hear other's complain about what he's doing.

He interact with his Step Mother as if she's his Employee. So is toward his father and younger brother.

His father loudly protest but everyone know who's strongest now. In funny way of course.

And his young brother is my favorite! He is this Gloomy keep. The one who suppose to be the beloved child and popular playboy, and yet at home not even take hours, he became one of MC'S 'employee' who keep cleaning the Sect Name Tag (?) /Jade/stone banner (?).

He keep looking and being Gloomy and yet he doesn't complain!!! My boy I hope the author keep him this Lovable unique!!

[collapse]

Anyway this novel is so much Fun!!! God I pray so hard the rest of the story is as Fun and Satisfying till the end!!! 🙏🙏🙏🥹🥹🥹 <<less

A refreshing read so far, all else has been said about the good and the bad. A novel u can read to feel good and not think too much besides wondering about the past connection between the leads and what happened back in the days of the heavenly dao.

I laughed so much. The main character and his first disciple have such big brainholes that they lead everyone else astray as well. The second disciple has known the MC for a long time and is especially tolerant of his playful nature. Eventually so many are led into their rhythm that the good guys and the bad guys all inexplicably end up on the same side, doubting life. A perfect result to a comedy modern cultivation world novel!!

edit: I am really curious about

the first disciple's ex boyfriend and if he will find a new relationship

It’s light and premise is interesting. It’s funny to read about how hard people deny the supernatural exists and that money even makes ghosts move.

I could do without the romance. I don’t understand how that relationship developed. MC doesn’t do anything special except be naive and follow the instructions of his master and apprentice.

Things generally got solved the same way every time. I kept it at 4 stars and not lower because it was still quite interesting and humorous.

So hilarious! But due to repetitive trope, some ch's become lack luster.

Scenes bet MC and ML are kinda hot, although only kissing and touching are involved up to this ch, the tension building is good. However I kinda dislike how ML takes advantage of the naive MC. Also, I dislike ML wearing a vest as a discipline. Since the MC is very protective if his disciple

Dunno if I'll drop or will continue.

Great read!

Nothing much to say, probably already said by the others.

I really liked MCs pov especially after he first stepped foot into modern society! His first disciple (forgot his name since I Mtled and his name was tled to Unity...) always had such great ideas haha It’s like, you are really speechless, something seems not quite right, but also not really wrong hahah anyways, love this novel very much! It’s a light read and very entertaining~
