Synopsis

"Master Ouyang, please smith a divine weapon for me!" "Master Ouyang, you're the only person who can forge a weapon with seven attributes. Please make my dream come true!" "Master Ouyang, could you..." "Ouyang my *ss! My surname is Ou!" Ou Yangming was an orphan who was adopted by a reputable old blacksmith from a military camp. After working as a helper under the old man for years, he was given a chance to acquire the Military Fire—a trait allowing him to smith and restore equipment with the Military Fire produced from his hands. Gifted with mental power, Ou Yangming controlled his Military Fire unusually well and was also strangely talented in martial arts. On top of it, he could also attach Unique Attributes into weapons with a hundred-percent success rate. Those who belittled Ou Yangming because of his background and age eventually honored him so much that they would do anything to get their hands on his equipment. Little did Ou Yangming know that as he slowly unfolded the mysteries of the Military Fire and his mental power, he was advancing step by step on the immortal path to Heaven!

Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian, a man from Earth, found himself in a clichéd transmigrated situation and ended up in the Azure World, a magical cultivation-oriented world. Unlike the protagonists in the novels he had read, Yun Lintian lacks any cheating devices to assist him on his journey. Did the God of Transmission forget about it? However, as a crisis unfolds, an ancient power dormant within him suddenly awakens, entangling him in a mysterious destiny... Watch the journey of Yun Lintian in a foreign world as he rises in power ranking alongside his precious all-female sect! ————————————— DISCLAIMER: The protagonist of this novel is exceptionally powerful, resourceful, and mature. If you don't enjoy stories with an overpowered protagonist who frequently use logic from novels he has read to solve the problems he encounters, this novel may not be to your liking. Besides the cultivation adventure, this novel also focuses on romance, comedy, and the bonds between the protagonist and his fellow disciples in the sect. The author is not a native English speaker, so you can expect some grammatical errors in the novel. Please bear with me, and trust me, I am trying to improve it. Everything in this novel is pure fantasy based on the author's imagination. It does not reflect the real world. Hence, readers should not attempt to apply their common sense and logic to this novel. Constructive criticism is always welcome. ————————————— All rights to the cover belong to the original artist.

Mrs. Foster is a woman who values being on time above almost everything. She gets very anxious when she is about to be late. Her husband, in contrast, is a character who seems to be oblivious to her need for punctuality. He casually does things that hold her up, like taking his time with simple tasks. This difference in their personalities creates the main conflict in the story.

He creates suspense in multiple ways. Firstly, there's the repeated pattern of Mr. Foster being late. Each time he makes them late, the reader anticipates that something bad will happen. Also, the description of Mrs. Foster's growing anxiety as she waits for her husband builds suspense. And when she finally leaves for the airport and the discovery of her husband trapped in the lift is left as a cliffhanger for a while, that really keeps the reader on edge.

The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Immortal Cultivator

This was a world led by cultivators. The status of cultivators was superior to that of mortals. However, it was unknown when it started, but the strong preyed on the weak in the cultivation world, and killing and stealing treasures became a common occurrence. People only saw the endless scenery on the Immortal Road, but they did not notice that the bones on the roadside had already piled up into mountains. Who told you that this is the daily life of a cultivator? Could it be that being like this all the time was right? Li Anran saw this clearly. After reaching the sixth level of Qi Refinement, he did not choose to live as an inner sect disciple with better treatment. Instead, he turned into an unpopular outer sect disciple and returned to this brightly lit mortal world. " Longevity is like floating clouds to me. I cultivate to protect those who can't cultivate, and even more so to protect my loved ones. So please remember, don't provoke me." Li Anran held the most advanced magical equipment in his hand and led a group of disciples to issue a warning to the entire cultivation world.
