The hook is the MC is an alchemy emperor. So when he gets that cheat, I'm fine with it. BUT THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS WITH HIS CHEAT? "Hey look the strongest martial artist manual ever, I'm going to be like that guy now!" So if anybody was expect somebody uses alchemy to ok overcome issues basic wuxia MCs would use brute strength with, this is not for you. And if you looking for an interesting book with a new take or interesting presentation this is not for you.

LIKETruthfully that is a major good point to me. It stresses the value of balance instead of just being a pillhead. After all plenty of $$$$$$$$$ people who can also do it that way. The part that mostly truly annoyed me was the sister. Sure he gets the money to get her that surgery but then pretty much ignored her. I mean he doesn't search the memories for a cultivation method for her, doesn't make her a cleansing pill or anything.
