Resumen del Editor

Long Wu Ying never expected to join a Sect or become a real cultivator. His days were spent studying, planting rice on the family farm and spending time with his friends. Fate, however, has different plans for Wu Ying and when the army arrives at his village, he and many other members of the village are conscripted. Given the opportunity to join the Verdant Green Waters Sect, Wu Ying must decide between his pedestrian, common life and the exciting, blood soaked life of a cultivator.

Join Wu Ying as he takes his first step on his Thousand Li journey to become an immortal cultivator.

Could've been 4☆ for pronunciation, still ♡ story

loved the story, I read this genre a lot and I've never heard chi pronounced "Cher". Its small I know but it slowly wears on the listener if you've heard it differently. Not big enough of a deal to lower my Review thoughlol😎👍

excellent story and clean

simply put, it was great and limited foul language, no sex, and a likeable character. look forward to the next one.

Great start

I bought this because Travis Baldree is my favorite narrator. Overall I was very good start to a series.

Enjoyable farmer to warrior / Martial Arts story

better than a Lit Rpg, no endless stats but does have level progression. less gory than Viking adventure genre. Will get the next one. Some Chinese spirituality mysticism

A Thousand +1

5 stars. Something new and fresh. Excellent beginning to what I know will be a worthwhile journey. Keep them coming.

brilliant

very well written not too predictable very engaging didn't have a boring moment at all in my opinion

Great but the names.

The only problem the names can be hard to keep up with, but a great book.

A surprisingly interesting novel

After listening to a number of cultivation novels in the past, I grew indifferent to the genre as many had spent an inordinate amount of ink space focusing on the minutia of the cultivation process at the expense of providing an interesting plot with a steady progression pacing. This prevented me from purchasing the series, even given that Travis Baldree is one of my top narrators. While waiting for a new interesting novel to become available, I noticed that this book had been listed in the Plus Catalog as a free offering and decided to give a listen while I waited.

I was rewarded in finding that this book not only didn't wade in the mundane aspects of cultivation, it offered an interesting plot. While the outline of the story is not unique, the investment Tao Wong put in framing of the MC's upbringing and overcoming hardships easily allowed me to become invested in him. I also enjoyed the naming of the fighting maneuvers during a battle and the prudent use of exposition that allowed the plot to evenly move forward.

After finishing book 1, I was immediately going to purchase book 2 only to notice that it, also was included in the Plus Catalog.

Happy!, Happy!, Joy, Joy!

Passing time doesn’t have to be boring

As mentioned, if you’re waiting on another book, but want to listen to something while you wait… You won’t go wrong with this series. It is a lot of fun and the world is awesome.

Great book!

Love the book just wish it was a little longer. Can’t wait to read the next one.
