Publisher's Summary
What happens when cultivation meets mad science?
Lu Jie woke up in a world filled with scheming sects, arrogant young masters, and the mad chase for the immortal heavens. He wanted none of it, and soon finds himself beaten bloody in a spar he didn't remember and treated as less than worthless.
But his plan to escape the sect is interrupted by an old Alchemist's pills that heal him within moments—a magical cure.
These medicines ignite the flame of curiosity to learn true magic in him, rekindling his love of discovery. Lu Jie sets out to study the immutable truths hidden within the world, and soon finds an all new path of cultivation that could take him to the very top.
Time to make some drugs... err... "alchemy pills".
Don't miss the start of an epic Xianxia Cultivation Series perfect for fans of Beware of Chicken and Cradle. The series features weak-to-strong power progression, a light scientific approach to magic, tons of alchemy, spirit beast companions, and so much more.

Story
Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people. An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where humans could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation. But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by. Unless he does something about it.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated Earth into its System. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills. This AI turned these concepts from fiction to fact. It's easy to become intoxicated with leveling up and becoming stronger. To some, it's too good to be true, like living out a dream. For Daniel, however, it's closer to a nightmare.

A great listen, 10/10 reccomended
I absolutely loved this story. if you liked Beware of Chicken, you'd like this one. This definitely has some significant similarities to BoC but is still definitely different enough to keep this fresh and interesting. Pair that with some awesome narration, this is well worth a listen

Never really figured out what it was trying to do
Wasn't really a cultivation novel. Wasn't really a world building novel. Just really a sub par mc being written as if he was the first person to think, but without much skill at it.

Solid cultivator story
This cultivator story has a lot of good qualities to it. You’ll like the pace, and it was good. The plot seems interesting. And there is a decent amount of twists and turns. She connected together nicely.
My only complaint is with the performance in the pronunciation of key not Chi and saying that they use the word over and over and over and over in the book I am surprised that there’s narration past please Mr. narrator I like your work if you can fix this one thing, I will give it five stars

I’m not sure why anyone would have complaints about this book, it’s funny, interesting, very well written and well narrated, has lots of fun new takes on the cultivation fantasy with a quirky mc. Lots of fun and kept me highly invested throughout. Pavi is a great narrator and I’m looking forward hearing more from him and to book 2

Good but...
it felt like a very long prologue, which I can get over so long as the next book picks up the pace with action / progress.
The problem I have is this, because of the way book 1 was executed, I can't predict the actual style of the story for book 2. Is there going to be more action (I personally hope so but thats just me) or less? Will the scope of the story widen (by that I mean a bigger scope for the settings and more characters)?
The book was passable as a very VERY long prologue, although the ending of it--despite being made to wait unreasonably long--was indeed satisfying. Furthermore, the twist was also unique and interesting. However book 2 needs to be a few steps up in terms or pacing and intrigue.
I'll be picking up book 2, frankly I want to see if this author will come through or not with this story--I want to believe he will, its not too late to either. Book 1 tested my patience, but the faster paced ending and twists are enough for me to give book 2 a chance.
