It is definitely not to be missed by readers who like fantasy novels. The author's writing style was excellent, the plot was also very exciting, and the creative setting was also very innovative. The supporting characters were also very lively and interesting, leaving a deep impression on people. The Almighty's work could be said to have written the Jianghu in the hearts of some people. Even though the later stages of the game inevitably moved toward the middle and high martial arts path due to the background setting and plot development, the first and middle stages were still dominated by Jianghu and Wuxia styles. On the whole, the book brought joy and pleasure to the readers, and occasionally (often) brought some happy elements to the readers. The protagonist was controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes and led to a martial arts world with broken pieces of the secret realm. He rode a horse in the martial arts world and rebuilt the country. For the sake of some female confidantes, he also discovered the secrets of the past.

Few people visit." "Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by." 3.<<The Tang's Table>> The people of the world and the affairs of the world are just the dishes on the table of the Tang people. Although the original ingredients had the original flavor of food, Yun Chu still believed that the most delicious food still needed to be divided, cooked, and handled. The food that was finally served on the table was the food that most suited the stomach of the Tang people. Steaming, braising, stir-frying, stewing... There were many cooking methods in the kitchen. Whether it was Goguryeo, the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Tiele…or even whales, tigers, sharks, and hungry wolves, the Great Tang was a furnace that could cook them all into peerless delicacies… In addition to Li Zhi, Wu Wei, Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and other peerless seasonings, there would always be one thing that you would never forget, regardless of color, fragrance, or taste.

It's a new book by the author of the Song Dynasty. Actually, it's not new anymore. I've saved it for a long time. Recently, I really didn't have any books to read, so I started killing it.

You can read them without worry. 10:"Final Divine Duty": It's still a big deal. How should I put it? I feel that the intelligence added is nothing but a stronger learning ability.

Most of the time, it's just a rush. 11:"Beyond Time":"Beyond Time" [Total ranking of Hundred Alliances: 151] 2022 Hundred Alliances Ranking: 9 [Hundred League Badge Release Time: 2022-6-12] Title: Beyond Time Author: Er Gen [Author Level: Platinum] [Alliance Leader: 253] [Silver Grand Alliance: 16] Golden Sect Master: 3 Fans/10,000: 421 [Category: Xianxia·Mythological Cultivation] Total Words/Ten Thousand: 169 Date of publication: June 12, 2022 [Hundred League Time/Day: 0] Last updated: August 1, 2022 [First Order: 47,500] Average: Not counted [Completed: No] End date: × Writing time/day: × Date: January 18, 2023 This Game Is Too Realistic: Xing 'er's New Book ~ Return to the wasteland, play behind the scenes, walk the group, the fourth natural disaster ravages the wasteland (actually moving bricks and picking up trash)~ F * ck, why is my cameo a female bear… [8 stars!] 13."Red Heart Sky Patrol":"Red Heart Sky Patrol" was an eye-catching Xianxia novel. The structure of the story reminded people of the feeling when they first watched "The Secret." The group portraits were very well drawn, with the chivalrous taste and talent of the otaku pig. This book had the potential to become another Xianxia classic. Although some of the settings were not rigorous enough, the plot of this book was very novel and worth reading. If the plot and characters could be further enriched, it would become an impeccable book. Overall, Red Heart Sky Patrol was an unforgettable masterpiece of Xianxia. It perfectly combined immortal energy and chivalry, and the plot was wonderful. In this world, the ancient demon race had already disappeared, and the modern dragon race had also disappeared.

"Ring of Destiny": Combining some of the Long Night's writing style, the main character, Li Lumian, is a good seedling of the Hunter pathway. The first dungeon is a strange dream.

He gave it to Little Aca of the Tarot Noodle Club… Web novel shock bomb! The squid was here! The Lord of the Mysteries 'second volume, Ring of Fate, blew up! I, the former survivor of the curly-haired baboon, cheer for the squid 15:"The Great Ming State Preceptor":<strong></strong> Hot Selling Potential] Tagged: History, Time Travel, Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties [Status: Series (950,000 words)] Sense of substitution: Character: Writing style: Plot: Logics: [Reality: ] A book that had suddenly exploded in popularity recently. It had been at the top of the monthly votes rankings for a long time. The author was a new author at Qidian, and it had the trend of becoming a god with just one book. The protagonist was originally a university lecturer, but he had transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty. Being familiar with ancient and modern times and full of knowledge was his golden finger. The protagonist used strength to explain what knowledge was power. This was a standard online novel. The main point of this article was that it was a plagiarist who used knowledge to reduce the dimensions of ancient society. The world background was more realistic, and it quoted more classics and ancient documents. It used the form of a small classroom to teach the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He taught courses such as sociology, economics, the history of civilization, and so on, which shocked the civil and military officials. The author obviously had a strong understanding of character creation and emotional substitution. It was easy for readers to substitute themselves into the characters who were listening to the lecture in the novel, and it was easy for them to get a sense of satisfaction from the shock and realization of the characters. It was addictive. They strongly suspected that the author was a student or lecturer at a university's literature and history department. The small classroom style of the online novel was unique. The protagonist liked to be a teacher and liked to attend classes. The writing style was average, the appearance of the characters was average, the plot was brainless, and the world was small. It was always the interaction between the main characters. The plot was ordinary, and the main plot was for the emperor to listen to the lecture and then implement it. The logic could not withstand scrutiny. The emperor and the ministers in the text were completely centered on the protagonist. This was absolutely impossible in the normal world. The reality of the world was low. This could be easily seen from the lack of environment description, logic, and plot. "A standard brainless and refreshing story. It's refreshing and has a special point. It's very readable. It's a little plain and contains a certain amount of knowledge. You can learn some simple economics, politics, history, mathematics…Of course, this isn't a boring process. These are all the protagonist's golden fingers! 16."Ascending on the Right Day": The beginning is the scene of the snake hunter saying his name. The second chapter has a small climax. It's a rare orthodox Xianxia novel. Platinum author, Otaku Pig's new work 17:"Who's Going to Fall in Love After Rebirth" It's a very good urban life novel. It's biased towards love. The female protagonist's club is afraid of being silly. It's very effective. I strongly recommend it. Those who like it can try it. Do I Need to Say More About the Deep Sea? I directly quoted my own recommendation for the book launch event: Some people say that three years of hard work is to sharpen a sword, but you've been writing for twelve years. Back then, the young boy who read Xyrin was also a joy. Now, the ignorant boy who read Dawn has also passed the exam. We're no different ~ I heard that the new book is Captain Ghost. We'll still accompany you on a long voyage! 19."Cultivation in the Chaotic World of Demonic Martial Arts": Cultivation + Infinity Style. The main character was a low-level spirit farmer who had transmigrated to the world of immortal cultivation. He accidentally discovered that he had a golden finger that allowed him to transmigrate again. He could switch back and forth between the world of immortal cultivation and another chaotic world dominated by demons, blood, and martial arts. In the later stages, it would probably involve more worlds of different styles like the traditional Zhu Tian Liu. "Who told him to cultivate!" It's funny, but it has a more rigorous setting. This kind of story should be like this. The simple fun and the rigorous and serious style are not attractive You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.

He was cursed because of his control over the apartment and was eventually suppressed in the closet. The woman realized that she could save the apartment by solving the mystery, but she needed to find the mysterious person. She began to look for clues in the apartment and found some mysterious items. Finally, she found the mysterious person who was the owner of the apartment. He told her that he never wanted to sell the apartment because he didn't want to lose control of it.
