Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 252: 251. Comments on "The Path to Becoming a Sect Leader"

Today I would like to recommend to you a work that has been discontinued for three years.

"The Road to Becoming the Leader of a Cultivation Sect", author: Qi Kexiu, level 5 author.

Category: Xianxia-Fantasy cultivation of immortality.

【Introduction】

My destiny is bestowed by heaven, and my fellow practitioners accompany me on this journey.

The two of them face each other and recite Huang Ting together.
In a boundless world where spiritual roots, destiny and fellow practitioners are united in practice,

The protagonist Qi Xiu accidentally got the position of the leader of the sect and led the weak sect to struggle.

From a middle-aged man in his thirties at the bottom of Qi training to a wise old man who looks down on all living beings like a god.

The sect developed and grew stronger in his hands, and he lived a life that was as dreamlike and magnificent as lightning.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: Qi Xiu of the Chu-Qin Sect. The protagonist, Qi Xiu, is ordered by his master to remain in a remote area, performing secret tasks, yet his cultivation remains at the Qi Training stage. One day, members of the Qin family come to question him, asking if the Chu-Qin Sect is about to be annexed by another sect. In the world of cultivation, there are rules, but also destruction.

Chapter Two: Rushing to Qinghefang. The Chuqin Sect is on the verge of collapse. The Sect Master has abandoned the sect's affairs to focus on the foundation-building phase, leaving many enemies eager to take action. The protagonist, armed with supplies given by the Master, disguises himself and heads to Qinghefang to purchase foundation-building pills.

Chapter 3: Busy with business. The items he brought weren't worth much, so the auction house offered a low price. There was a medium-sized auction in 15 days, and the protagonist would definitely try his luck.

Chapter 4: Setting up a stall at the Ghost Market. To raise money to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, the protagonist sets up a stall at the Ghost Market, selling all the items in his storage bag that he doesn't need. Although business is difficult at first, good luck gradually appears, comforting him.

Chapter 5: A medium-sized auction. The protagonist attends the auction as scheduled and sees many attractive items, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the money to buy them. When his item comes up, few people are interested. Later, someone drives up the price, a situation the protagonist enjoys.

Chapter 6: The Death of the Sect Leader. The protagonist, armed with the Foundation Establishment Pill, cautiously moved his way to the mountain gate, only to be tightly restrained by members of another sect. He learned from them that they were there to annihilate the Chu Qin Sect, and judging by the orders they issued, his master had died.

Chapter 7: The Fourth Generation Sect Leader. The mountain gate has been breached, the new leader has fled, and the remaining members face the choice of surrender or becoming independent cultivators. The protagonist has made up his mind, preferring to become a free and easy independent cultivator rather than surrender to another sect. Just then, the new leader returns with the Qiyun Sect members.

Chapter 8: The Fifth Generation Sect Leader. A group of Foundation Establishment experts deliberated in the inner hall for a long time before finally summoning the protagonist and the others to hear the results. The Qiyun Sect experts were ordered to lead a portion of the Chuqin Sect southward. The new Sect Leader, motivated by his son's affection, preferred marrying into the family rather than interfering in the sect's fate. He even casually passed the Sect Leader token to the protagonist, Qi Xiu.

Chapter 9: A farce unfolds in the palace. A group of the old, weak, and sick from the Chu-Qin Sect engage in a riot, attempting to seize Qi Xiu's leader's token. They are only reluctantly deterred by a Qiyun Sect master. Qi Xiu also signs a contract with the other sects on behalf of the Chu-Qin Sect, promising to migrate south and start anew.

Chapter 10: Funeral in Chaos. The funeral was kept simple, with most of the Chu and Qin sects watching from the sidelines. Surprisingly, those who came to help were from the three factions. Later, two introverted members of the Chu and Qin sect, with ordinary talents, also came to help. This allowed the old sect leader's funeral to proceed normally.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Qi Kexiu, a level 5 author, is the author of "The Road to Becoming the Leader of a Cultivation Sect" and "Chicago 1990".

Previously, when I was promoting "Chicago 1990", many readers left messages, urging me to update "The Path to Becoming the Leader of a Cultivation Sect", praising this book as "the number one fairy tale".

I was completely confused. Is this book really that famous?

Later I found out that he had been a eunuch for more than three years.

I was even more confused.

I have to give it a try to dispel my doubts.

summary of the story
This book mainly tells the story of the protagonist Qi Xiu, who has ordinary qualifications, low realm, and is at the second level of Qi training. In other novels about cultivating immortals, this realm is just the level of an outer disciple.

In this book, he was originally cultivated by his master, but when he could no longer be cultivated, he was sent out to work as a warehouse manager. While working hard to sell the sect's assets and buy foundation-building pills for his master, his realm still did not improve.

And his master eventually passed away due to various struggles.

The protagonist returned to the sect and saw that the sect had been destroyed, the master had passed away, the disciples were fighting for the leader's token, other sects were aggressively dividing it up, and the higher sects were watching coldly. His friendship with the sect faded to the extreme.

However, he was given the task in times of crisis and was passed down as the new leader.

In desperation, he had to agree to move the sect south. This decision actually led the sect onto a bright road of rapid development.

Character characteristics
The protagonist Qi Xiu is a cautious person. After all, he is almost thirty years old. He is familiar with many worldly affairs, but has no idea about cultivation.

He himself does not have a golden finger, and he has only reached this level at the age of nearly thirty. He is just like an ordinary person, and he is a late bloomer.

The protagonist has a clear distinction between love and hate. He remembers the kindness of his master in raising him, the ungrateful behavior of his fellow disciples, and the actions of other sects that took the opportunity to oppress him. When he has the ability, he will definitely pay back the debt with blood.

Style characteristics
This book is a typical traditional immortal cultivation book, and it follows the mortal flow. It began to be written in 2014 and stopped in January 2017.

Speaking of the mortal genre, the most famous and exciting one is "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality". No matter how excellent other mortal genre works are, they cannot surpass it.

Therefore, although this book has excellent writing, a tortuous story, profound ideas, and is loved by fans, it is still not exciting or exciting enough in the face of the current online literature fashion.

If someone still uses this traditional mortal opening to write a game in 2020, it will probably fail miserably.

Unless they are platinum masters with a solid readership and a solid world structure, they can barely achieve success.

Therefore, in my opinion, this book is slightly inferior to "Xuanhun Dao Zhang" and "Da Dao Zheng Feng".

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

I recommend this book because when I introduced "Chicago 1990" above, many readers left me messages and strongly recommended this book.

Call it "the first book of Xianxia"!
Call ~
After finishing the trial reading, the heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

It is really surprising how many die-hard fans a book has.

This book is not very famous on Qidian.com because it was first released on Genesis, and the number of collections on the two platforms barely reached 3.

The data in all aspects are not very good.

Compared with "Chicago 1990", the data is far behind.

However, it is indeed a good work for ordinary people.

However, after all, this is still a discontinued work. No matter how good it is, I do not recommend you to regard it as a masterpiece.

Because it really hasn’t come to that!
There are thousands of online articles, and excellent works may be buried, but they will eventually shine.

Please go and support Qi Kexiu's "Chicago 1990"!
