Old Fool

In the celestial empire, during the ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven,
Chaos reigns across the land, and the people suffer.
The royal governance collapses, and western barbarians with their pantheon of gods invade.
New warlords arise, claiming territories; the Taiping rebels wreak havoc, leading to widespread misery.
Calamities like floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms, tornadoes, acid rain, blood moons, and meteor falls occur in succession.
Countless demons roam, strange beings thrive, spirits mingle with the inexplicable, and mysterious phenomena arise.

Longevity Chronicles

Cultivators entering the "Qi Refining Realm" typically first accumulate energy over the course of half a month, or even longer, before making a concerted effort to break through their gates and refine the True Spirit Qi of their Basic Method.


Just refining a single strand is considered a successful advancement, but this only designates one as a low-grade cultivator.


The higher the grade of the True Spirit Qi refined, and the quantity refined at the time of advancement, will to a certain extent determine one's Dao path, as well as their combat power amongst fellow cultivators of the same level.


Which of the true cultivation disciples from the great sects or major schools would be content with producing just a single strand of True Spirit Qi?


Tao Qian entered the realm of Qi Refinement in just three days, even when compared with those talented disciples, he was not to be outdone.


Therefore, at this time, he did not stop for a moment.
