I Also Want To Spiritually Cultivate With Shizun Today

Qi Shu, the eldest senior martial brother of the Kunlun Jian Sect, was an exceptionally talented, charismatic and handsome person. He’s the dream lover of all male and female cultivators in the cultivation world. He had a secret. He’s secretly in love with his Shizun. ——Gu Hanjiang, the head cultivator of the Kunlun Jian Sect, not only had a noble and benevolent temperament since young, he was also cold and strict, but he’s greatly fond of his own eldest disciple. Qi Shu both valued his master and his teachings, so he hid his love for him for a long time. Until one day, he learnt a secret. His master was a rare human cauldron. To pass through tribulation and ascend, he must dual cultivate with someone, otherwise it’d rebound to him and he’ll qi deviate. When Qi Shu returned to the sect, he found that his master had really encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and his cultivation was severely damaged. When he saw his master’s pale and sickly handsome face, Qi Shu felt sorry for him: Shizun, this disciple can help you. Gu Hanjiang: …Really? Qi Shu: This disciple does what he says! Only later did Qi Shu become aware that in the first place, human cauldrons couldn’t only be the one in the bottom. That’s not what it says in the book!!

## My Thoughts on I Also Want To Spiritually Cultivate With Shizun Today This web novel, "I Also Want To Spiritually Cultivate With Shizun Today," promised a fluffy and wholesome xianxia romance, and for the most part, it delivered. It's a quick read, perfect for when you need a palate cleanser after something heavy or angsty. The dynamic between the disciple and his *shizun* is definitely the highlight, and I found myself smiling quite a bit throughout. ### First Impressions The initial setup is charming: a lovestruck disciple pining for his seemingly oblivious, *tsundere* master. Both are secretly harboring feelings, adding a delightful layer of tension. The early chapters hooked me with the promise of humorous misunderstandings and a slow-burn romance. The blend of xianxia elements with the comedic undertones felt fresh and inviting. ### What Works Well The biggest strength of this novel lies in its sweetness and the genuine connection between the main characters. The story avoids unnecessary drama, focusing instead on their evolving relationship. The author does a good job of portraying the characters as individuals before developing them as a couple. I particularly appreciated the focus on consent during their intimate moments; it added a layer of respect and tenderness to their relationship that I found refreshing. The writing style is easy to follow, and the translation seems well done, making for a smooth and enjoyable reading experience. The ending, by all accounts, is satisfying, which is always a plus. The humor lands well, especially concerning the "cauldron body" misunderstanding. ### Areas of Concern While the story is enjoyable, it does feel somewhat rushed. The plot felt like it had the potential to blossom into something more substantial, but it never quite reached its full potential. The climax, where they finally confess their feelings, could have been more impactful. Some readers might find the lack of significant conflict a drawback, as the story primarily focuses on the romance. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning The following contains potential spoilers regarding a plot point in the story: A major plot point revolves around the *shizun's* supposed need for dual cultivation to avoid qi deviation. The misunderstanding surrounding this, specifically the disciple's belief that his master is suffering from a "cauldron body" condition, drives much of the initial plot. However, the revelation that this was an illusion feels somewhat glossed over. While this plot point provides some humorous moments, it might leave some readers wanting more exploration of the consequences. ### Final Verdict Overall, "I Also Want To Spiritually Cultivate With Shizun Today" is a short, sweet, and fluffy read that's perfect for a quick escape. While it might not be groundbreaking, it's a well-executed story with likeable characters and a satisfying romance. If you're looking for a lighthearted xianxia with a focus on a loving master-disciple relationship, this one is definitely worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
