Please recommend an exciting wuxia novel! Time was of the essence!

It was the second Wuxia novel I read after Celestial Bane. The year before last, I forgot the name of the main character. The place where the protagonist was born was occupied by cultivators and demonic beasts. The conditions were very poor. Everyone relied on killing demonic beasts, obtaining beast skins and demonic cores to earn money, and eating beast meat. Most importantly, if one did not improve their cultivation, they would die in their twenties. In other words, the average age of a person was in their twenties. Most of the people in the village where the protagonist lived did not have high cultivation levels. They all held knives. The protagonist seemed to have bought a heavy knife. It seemed that the protagonist wanted revenge, so he left that village and went to a very distant place. He wanted to cross the desert and increase his cultivation on the way. When I read this book, I had a feeling that it was very similar to leveling up in the game. On the way, there was a scene that left a deep impression on me. He met a woman who was very good at disguising herself. She was an assassin, I think. After that, he went to a very big village and found an alchemy furnace or something…I forgot a lot about the rest. I only remember that he left their terrible living environment and rode all kinds of magical beasts to another world with a few people. They were very small in the other world. Oh, he has a lot of wives, all of whom are very powerful characters. I forgot about the rest.
My description is pretty detailed. Please help me think about it. I've been thinking about it all day…Those who haven't read it, when I find the title of the book, you must read it. It's very classic, and it's not mysterious at all. Luck is only a small part of it.

Answer 1

"I recommend the Wuxia novel, Heroes of Swords and Swords. It's the first book in the Wuxia Biography of Ming Dynasty. It tells the story of brotherhood and chivalrous tenderness. It tells the story of a true hero who shed blood with a sword and sacrificed his life to save the country and the people. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
