In the Origin World, the first step of cultivation was spirit farming. In the dungeon world, demons and martial arts were in chaos. There was no time difference between the two worlds, and the golden finger could travel between the two worlds. The opening was normal, and there was nothing particularly attractive about it. "Who told him to cultivate!" Promotion: No female lead, three views are correct, IQ is online, easy to make fun of, brainstorming and refreshing. The main character's brain was always so beautiful and unconventional. It gave people the feeling that it could be like this, but there was something wrong with it. It was a very funny positive energy main character. Of course, an author who could solve three problems was also outstanding. The immortal cultivation setting seemed to follow the usual cognition and was easy to watch, but in many settings, the imagination was wide open. PS: The author's three views are hilarious and invincible. The style is similar. If you like one, you can watch the other. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
