Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Alright, it's finally time to go live.

Launch time: Tomorrow at noon.

This book getting signed, making it through round after round of recommendation PK, reaching the split strength, emerging from the category, hitting Sanjiang, and being strongly promoted to go live, I have to thank many people.

Thanks to Editor Fei, even though the two naming-impaired guys discussed for half a day and still came up with a book title that's looked down upon by many...

Thanks to the support from the chubby booklist owner Longjiang, thanks to the recommendation from the big shot Chijian, and of course, thanks to all the readers for their collections, recommendations, and comments.

As of now, the book has thirty-six thousand collections, daily recommendations ranked over one hundred and twenty across the site.

Next, since the book opened, let me, Old Zhang, chat a bit...

This book has faced a lot of criticism.

Do you know, when readers give bad reviews, when peers, overtly or covertly, come to give advice, there's only one thought in my mind:

I'm damn gonna be famous!

"≡(^(OO)^)≡"

Just kidding, do wordsmiths still fear being cursed at?

I, Old Zhang, smile slightly, feeling calm and collected...

Of course, some things still need to be clarified.

In the book reviews, some say I rigged votes, some say it's a studio work, some say I bought the start?

I, Old Zhang, have always been a loner, besides the editor, I don't know any peers, these tricks, others are tired of playing them, I've only just heard of them.

I, Old Zhang, like fame and fortune and never hide it.

As for fame, when I see those platinum legends, I only have one thought: One day, I will take over!

As for fortune, I'm just a poor bastard, scared of being poor, so of course, I want to make money to let my family live more decently.

But I'm just a fool, those tricks they talk about, I'm afraid I'll never learn them in my life.

So,

Alas, just a hapless guy.

Alright, let's start talking about the book now.

Jianghu!

A term that haunts the dreams of so many...

From secretly reading Jin Yong and Gu Long under the covers, from indulging in Hong Kong Martial Arts films, Jianghu always captivates my heart and soul.

Hero!

This word runs through the history of the Chinese people.

From the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, when a Ranger would pay a thousand gold for a promise, rise up in anger to kill, to the greatest hero, for country and people...

Jianghu changes, and the definition of a hero constantly changes.

Some people say,

Where there are people, there is Jianghu…

Some people say,

Jianghu is nothing more than fame and fortune, understanding Jianghu means understanding people.

And some say,

Jianghu is merely where we Martial Arts people go in and out of...

To me, Jianghu is probably life itself, seeing villains, seeing gentlemen, seeing those consumed by desire, seeing the ambitious.

Having seen these things in life, it's like having traveled through Jianghu, and finally kicking up your legs and dying!

But in my heart, there's a dream of being a great hero...

Thus, came the character Zhang Kui.

He looks fierce, maybe not appealing to those who care about looks...

He's of average talent, so acting chivalrously won't make people curse him as a bleeding heart...

I hope everyone will like him.

Likewise, I, Old Zhang, have average talent, clumsy hands and mind, explosive updates are impossible, at most four or five chapters when going live, that's the limit.

In the future, I'll try to update three chapters a day, of course, the quality must not decline, but must get better and better.

If there were a Jianghu,

what kind of person would you be?

I, Old Zhang, might bitterly train in martial arts, wholeheartedly wanting to become famous, only to find out I'm just a nameless nobody.

Then, just be a storyteller.

Telling some stories, bringing a smile to your face...

Clap!

Ladies and gentlemen, let's embark on our journey through Jianghu!
