  Woke up and saw many book friends arguing, didn't want to continue writing too much content on this aspect in the back, so I took it out here to summarize.

  The tone of this book, especially in the early and middle stages of the urban chapter, must be more positive, rather than the lone wolf upgrade.

  2. Li Yuan is a 17-year-old boy who has a crazy enthusiasm for cultivation in his bones, and he is very persistent in some aspects. Why is he so crazy about cultivating? Because "hard work can change fate" has always given him positive feedback.

  But this age group is also the most vulnerable to shocks and changes in worldview, especially when such value shocks come from people closest to and admired by oneself. Of course, this growth of spiritual change will lead to some changes in the actions and views of characters before and after, including his gradual changes later on. To be honest, it's not easy to write, and I don't think I've done a great job myself. There must be book friends who have disagreements or objections, which I understand.

  4. Li Yuan's initial obsession came from "protecting his family", but just like some readers asked "Why is it so easy for the strong to change their beliefs?", my answer is that Li Yuan's beliefs were not corrected by his uncle because Li Yuan was originally a good person, he was just fine-tuned, and what he believed in was actually in line with his uncle's ideas, but limited by his age and experience, he didn't thoroughly understand.

  The previous text actually set up three things: on the street, under the circumstances of being able to escape with his life, he subconsciously went to fight against the Fish Spirit Clan to save people; during the practical assessment, he took the initiative to rescue Dong Haifeng for the first time (Dong Haifeng had shown hostility towards him before, and he could have waited a bit longer for Dong Haifeng to be eliminated before taking action); and actively helped Li Tianyou. It was his uncle's words and deeds from childhood to adulthood, combined with years of education, that made him deeply identify with Li Changzhou's ideas. I think this point should not be a problem, it's just that the book didn't explicitly write about it.

  Including several times of paying taxes, Li Yuan only made sarcastic remarks on the surface, but deep down he agreed with this matter.

  Li Changzhou is not a saint. He's just a good man with his own beliefs.

  His behavior was consistent from the beginning of volunteering to go to the front line, then making contributions and becoming a hero, and finally refusing Li Yuan's large national reward.

  He told Li Yuan that the core is actually just two points: 1. Everyone has a private heart, but the private heart should have a degree, and he himself also has a private heart. 2. Don't think the whole world is dark because of a small amount of injustice.

  In the past, when Li Yuan gave tens of millions to hundreds of millions to his family, including letting him move into a villa, it was essentially because he thought it wouldn't affect Li Yuan's overall cultivation and would also make Li Yuan more at ease with his cultivation, so he didn't refuse. He also had selfish motives - who doesn't want to live better?

  But this time, Li Yuan wants to take out more than 70 million, and it's within two years. Li Changzhou thinks that this has already far exceeded his personal bottom line, because Li Yuan has just entered university and needs a lot of money for cultivation, which mainly comes from the country.

  Li Changzhou's character wouldn't allow him to spend this money with a clear conscience, if he had accepted it calmly, it would have been the collapse of this character.

  Here, I want to emphasize that if Li Yuan was spending money to save his aunt's life or the lives of his younger siblings, but was refused by Li Changzhou, there would be a lot of room for discussion. However, the money was to be spent on Li Changzhou himself, and not to save his life, but to extend his expected lifespan, and then he himself refused it. This is fundamentally different.

  It was Li Changzhou himself who refused to be prolonged; it was Li Changzhou himself who refused; it was Li Changzhou himself who refused. It wasn't just that Li Yuan was persuaded to give up.

  As for how to grasp this degree of private heart, it is actually a free mind proof, and I won't elaborate on it.

  The second point is that he hopes Li Yuan can have his own judgment, which is a belief and perspective that he wants to pass on to his younger generation as an elder. I think this is a common thing, just like in reality, elders always use their own perspectives to educate their children.

  6. Li Yuan's quick acceptance of Li Changzhou's opinion was actually foreshadowed in the previous text. He didn't dare to tell Li Changzhou directly, but instead had Wan Qinghe keep it a secret, because he had a deep understanding of his uncle's character and personality, and had already predicted that if his uncle found out the truth, there would be over 90% chance of being rejected.

  7. This book is not intended to portray a moral saint or write about a morally perfect person.

  It's hard to write a morally uplifting article, let alone one that is positioned as an "awesome" piece. I don't have the ability to do so either.

  The core concept I used to shape Li Yuan's character is "integrity without compromise".

  He jokes around with his classmates; when interacting with elders, he has a small mind that hopes the elder will have a better impression of him; in actual combat assessments, even if he obtains intelligence ahead of time, he won't shout "this is unfair to others" and then report it; when he has money on hand, he will consider his most beloved person first; seeing the school or martial arts hall's monetary rewards, he will subconsciously think about getting more money; seeing his uncle suffer injustice, he will feel anger and resentment in his heart.

  Including afterwards, there will be many more descriptions and small choices that don't conform to the "Moral Saint".

  He is a living person, but in the book he was just a 17-year-old boy.

  However, when faced with some crucial choices, he will make a choice that conforms to his deepest conviction.

  ——

  That's all for the summary statement.

  Everyone is free to express their opinions and differing views in this chapter, but the book review section will no longer tolerate arguments.

  In the future, I will also try my best to describe this aspect directly, thank you for your support.
