The part where Mos is about to choose Mage but gets distracted into Warrior is a funny moment. It subverts the typical protagonist who picks the coolest class. It feels like a natural mistake. And since she can change later, it’s forgivable.
I'm torn on the romance angle. On one hand, the system incentivizes Lu Zheng to shelter women, which could lead to some interesting relationships. On the other hand, the transactional nature of it—"you come to me, you're mine"—feels a bit too cold for a genuine connection. I hope the author develops real chemistry, not just convenience.
The way the master's attitude completely flips after getting paid is fantastic. One minute he's ready to run, the next he's the most righteous Taoist in the world, vowing to vanquish the evil for the Chen family. It shows he’s not a bad guy, just incredibly and lovably pragmatic. Money is a strong motivator for him.
The moment Zhao Desheng insisted on splitting money by effort—70 for the hard workers, 60 for himself—was character-defining. He’s honest and fair in a world where everyone claws.
The worldbuilding about cultivation levels (Refining Spirit, Spirit User, Spirit Lord, etc.) was briefly mentioned. I hope we get to see more of these systems in action. Also the different peaks (Pill Refining, Beast Taming, Talisman) provide variety.
