Chapter 1The Golden Fruit

Crackle! Crackle!

The sky was dark and gloomy, but the flashes of lightning illuminated this seemingly pitch-black airspace.

In that brief moment of light, the tiny silhouette of a person could be seen scaling through a tall mountain. His figure looked weak and feeble, but he still marched forward.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

The violent coughing of an old man could be heard amidst the ear-splitting roars of thunder.

This old man wearing worn-out clothing beneath his washed-out hood was unsteadily ascending the tall mountain. His eyes were a bit murky, but his clear pupils contained a profound sense of wisdom.

He continued to press forward, but his aged knees were nearing their limits. He was already breathing heavily, so he decided to stop.

The old man glanced at the peak of the mountain that was just a little less than fifty meters away from him. It felt like thousands of meters in his eyes, making him almost choose to give up.

However, something within him was telling him to continue marching forward. This mysterious feeling gave him an odd strength that allowed him to resume his ascent.

The old man took out a small worn-out book hidden inside his pocket. The strange thing was that the book actually remained dry even after being in contact with the heavy rain!

The old man opened the book and flipped through the pages. He then stopped to the page that he had folded.

"According to this book, the Tree of Rebirth will be born at the peak of Mt. Bargan when the blood-red moon will illuminate the dark sky." The old man's aged voice can be heard as he gazed towards the bloody moon above the sky.

It was breathtakingly beautiful, but it was also a dreadful sight to behold.

The old man removed his gaze from the blood-red moon and kept the small book inside his trouser's pocket.

"I already have one foot at the grave. It is my last wish in life to see this mysterious tree being reborn! I must continue forward!" He encouraged himself as he tread onward. His voice was already weak, but the mysterious strength inside of him wasn't weakening, and this gave him the opportunity to ascend the peak of Mt. Bargan.

Rumble! Rumble!

Flashes of lightning webbed through the skies like serpents crawling out of the firmament. The light coming from the lightning allowed the old man to clearly see his path, making his ascent a little less troublesome.

After more than twenty minutes, he finally reached the top of the mountain.

The old man's knees caved in as the mysterious strength inside of him slowly vanished. He knelt on the ground with a weary look, but when he moved his gaze forward, he saw something that immediately caught his attention.

A tree! That's right! What caught his attention was a seemingly ordinary-looking tree. Its appearance might have been ordinary, but since it was the only tree around, the old man was certain that it was no ordinary tree!

"Th-That… Co-Could it be…" The old man could hardly speak because of the extreme coldness in the surroundings. If not for the herbs that he had smeared on his body before his trip, he would have already fallen dead because of hypothermia.

The old man hastily took out the small book in his pocket and compared the tree drawn on the book to the one in front of him.

The more he looked, the more his eyes shone with excitement.

"To think that it's actually real…" The old man stood up with great difficulty and walked slowly towards the tree.

This tree looked no different from those common trees found in the forest, but how could an ordinary tree be able to remain so leafy and green in this kind of freezing temperature? Definitely not!

The old man cried emotionally as he stared at his life-long dream. It was full of vitality. Just as the book described it to be.

He removed his thick gloves and touched the trunk of the tree and felt its warmness. It was refreshing and calming.

The old man closed his eyes as he gently caressed the tree. He then moved his gaze upwards and stared at its abundant leaves with a smile.

However, a small round fruit captured his attention. It was golden in color and it looked like a ball of light in this dark place.

It wasn't located far from him, so he was able to pluck it from its branch.

A delicate wave of fragrance assailed his nostrils when he plucked the fruit. This heavenly aroma immediately made his stomach churn.

"A fruit after a long trek. Not too bad a reward for this old man." He muttered delightfully as he took a big bite of the fruit.

Crunch.

'It is juicy and sweet.' The old man muttered in his heart as he enjoyed the fruit's delicious flavor.

The soft texture of the fruit made it easier for his brittle set of teeth. He even felt that it was almost as soft as tofu…

The old man smiled contentedly after finishing the whole fruit. He then sat beneath the shade of the tree and felt himself slowly losing his consciousness.

"I feel sleepy." He muttered as he gently laid on the cold wet ground.

Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Su Jie, capable of traveling between Blue Star and the Cultivation World, discovered that cultivation was just too difficult. Spirit Pills, Magic Artifacts, Pocket Worlds, and inherent comprehension—each was a mountain on the long road to immortality. Not until Su Jie found out that Demon Cultivators refined corpses by killing, extracted souls to cultivate fiends, and used fear as sustenance for their cultivation. Need souls to consecrate a Soul Summoning Banner? Get to know the pig farms that slaughter millions of pigs a year. Need human fear to cultivate fierce ghosts? Stock up on ghost houses, horror films, and horror games... Need fresh blood for Demon Techniques? Across the ocean, America is the world's largest grey market blood transfusion station... ...... Years later. "You devil, how many people have you killed? And you still have the face to call yourself a good person? Pah, today I shall act on behalf of heaven to mete out justice." The Tianyuan World's most beautiful person's eyebrows were furrowed with rage, as she stared at the terrifying Devil before her, enveloped in wronged souls, with thousands of ghosts parading on his Soul Banner, seated in a palace made of bones, she posed her soulful question. The Devil slowly stood up and pulled out a business card that read "Hua Country's Philanthropist of the Year / Founder of the World's Largest Chain of Ghost Houses / Owner of Blue Star's Largest Livestock Slaughter Business / Emerging Tycoon of the Entertainment Industry." "You see, I'm really not a devil, okay? Nowadays, who still uses such a lowly method as killing people to cultivate as a devil!"

I really love the concept Herb King and the focus on that instead of sword fighting, face slapping and killing. The introduction is also really good and makes you want to read the novel. What killed the novel less than 15 chapters in is how the main character is written and his interactions with other people. The MC is not written consistently: take for example the intro: the impression of the MC is that herbs and being a doctor is his passion and he actively seeks rebirth due to his regrets in life. Read the first chapter: the impression of the MC is that he reaches the rebirth tree due to plotarmor(i kid you not: it was mentioned multiple times that he managed to reach the tree with the help of some "mysterious strength". The mysterious strength could have easily been replaced by passion, curiosity, willpower, etc and it would have given a better impression of the MC as that strengthens the intro about him). The MC ate the rebirth fruit without further thought and reason aside from that he saw it and felt a bit hungry. The following chapters are also showing the MC in quite bad or unimpressive light. Another issue is the MC's mental age: Either the MC is an old man or a 3 year old ignorant dumb kid. He can't be either. No real human is both and in the novel the MC constantly switches between these depending on what the plot currently needs. Another thing is the character interactions: The interactions between the MC and parents(dialogue, actions) is too short. It's like the reader is getting a glimpse and then the novel moves on. This glimpse is too short to give the reader a real lasting impression about the MC and his parents.
