I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

READ UPTO CH-656 So here’s the thing, this one has a lot of plot holes, but if you can ignore it, it might just be okay. *provided that you also ignore the EXTREMELY slow pace and worst of the worst translations of course! I mean that’s obvious for CN, right? Right!* It gets so bad after 600+ chapters, they no longer just mess up the translations but even the order of the paragraphs are messed up. Like the paragraph that’s supposed to happen in the middle parts of the chapter, suddenly pops up between existing conversations in the first part of the chapter. It’s like a jigsaw that you have to arrange in your mind to understand the chapter completely. • There was that one time when MC solved the dying wish of a 6th grade sect beast, who had an obsession for something but no one know what and couldn’t solve it. It was explained that if no one could, and it does with regret, it will become an “evil” (never understood what those were). The MC obviously solved this using his cheat, and everyone realises that the beast just wanted some spirit brew that it’s previous (dead) owner used to give it. Using the same cheat, MC also finds out the recipe for it and makes it and relieves its obsession and letting it die in peace! The problem lies here, 100 chapters or so later, it is revealed that EVERY 5th grade or higher beasts refine some bone, that allows them to speak! Did no one think to ask the beast what’s up? Why you depressed? Do you need some alcohol that badly? It wasn’t even explained why it could just say it. • There are multiple instances where he plants some spirit seeds and completely forgets about them. As early as when he planted 20 blood ginseng after joining the sect, but there is no mention about them after. There was once when he planted some sun fruit seeds that would produce fruits that improved comprehension of eaten! That was supposed to such a W! Could’ve improved the MC’s qualifications for cultivation some how (which he keep cribbing about)! I mean, there was multiple times when he got stuff like these as rewards that increased comprehension a little or improved spirit roots a little, but he just stuffed them aside and never mentioned on using it! There was also this instance where he plants a flood dragon vine, and cultivation and gets a very good reward, and the thing about this plant is, you can cut the ends and recultivate the plant, and he does that. It’s a 3rd grade plant, with maturity period of about 3-4 years. It was never mentioned to the extent that I gave up thinking it was also forgotten, but 400+ chapters later, it’s just casually makes a reappearance, and the reward received then (almost 20+ years later) isn’t great. Dafuq?! • And the age old habit of all MC’s, they can’t stick to their ideologies. On one hand he wants to stay lowkey and survive without attracting any attention; on the other hand, opens a shop in his name and sells all treasures that are no longer useful to him or is still strong and useful but he already has something else that can do the same. Problem is, the combined value of the treasures he sells is equal to Nascent Soul cultivators, keep in mind that he is an early stage Core Formation casual cultivator. I’ll just stop here.

overall solid novel, albeit repetitive. the pacing is good if you skim. after he left the village for the sword sect that's when it went down hill for me.
