It also seems to have the Chinese equivalent of an anime. Do a youtube search for "择天记".

I also recommend Way of Choices. It's good enough to me to read the machine translated chapters at lnmtl.com

Why you should be reading Cultivation Chat Group:

quote:

At this moment, in Medicine Master’s multi-storied building.

Venerable White’s face was filled with content as he placed a laptop, with its screen displaying the structure of the air conditioner, next to him.

Thereafter, he disassembled the interior and exterior of the air conditioner and spread the components all over the floor.

"The mind of human beings’ is getting more and more meaningful; cultivators don’t need things like air conditioners, but to ordinary mankind, in the sweltering heat of summer, this is a must-have. It is really interesting, this era is truly a wonderful era, there are too many things that are worthy of being disassembled!

Ok, before little friend Song Shuhang wakes up, I should probably assemble the air conditioner back together," said Venerable White as he started to piece the the air conditioner—not forgetting the adjacent part of ventilation system—together. This time, he followed the lesson learned from the previous episode—from the moment he started disassembling, he memorized every step clearly.

Soon after, the air conditioner had been completely reassembled.

"This time, I did not leave out a single part. Indeed, if I am serious about doing something, there would not be any problem!" Venerable White’s face was full of confidence as he brought the air conditioner to the second floor to reassemble it as a whole with the vent, and plug it in.

After switching it on with the remote, Senior White’s face beamed with confidence!

Approximately 5 to 6 seconds later.

"Boom, boom…" came the familiar sound of circuits frying. Shortly after, there was a gust of black smoke.

The air conditioner overheated and was fried as well.

Venerable White’s body stiffened, and he hurriedly unplugged it from the power source.

"Why did it become like that, I clearly followed every step and there was no problem! Why did it overheat!?"

Senior White was extremely frustrated.

At the same time, he secretly glanced at Song Shuhang’s room—little friend Song Shuhang was still sound asleep.

"I don’t have a choice, I just have to use magic to replace the air conditioner’s function!" Senior White rubbed his hands and disassembled it anew, preparing to engrave a spirit gathering formation, and then another automatic temperature-adjusting formation.

However… as he was about to engrave the formation, he suddenly thought of something.

"Ah, wait a minute—I don’t think I have learned the ‘automatic temperature-adjusting’ formation!" Senior White stared blankly.

That was because after cultivators opened the Heart Aperture, they would already possess an automatic body temperature-adjusting ability. There was no need for any ‘automatic temperature-adjusting’ formation!

"What should I do?" Senior White stared at the air conditioner with a guilty expression.

After much deliberation, he secretly took down the air conditioner once again and placed it into a box, moving it to the courtyard downstairs.

Thereafter, he found a branch in the courtyard at random and pared it into the shape of a sword. He then engraved a bunch of complicated formations on it.

At last, spiritual qi poured into the wooden sword.

After those steps had been completed, the original plain wooden sword transformed into a floating rainbow-colored wooden sword!

Senior White mumbled, "Haha, it’s been a long time since I created something, I’m a bit out of practice."

Disposable flying sword 004 edition!

As the name implied, this was a one-time use flying sword, uniquely created by Senior White.

Following after, Senior White placed the packaged air conditioner onto the wooden flying sword.

He executed a sword art, and displayed the sword controlling technique, "Do your thing!"

‘Disposable flying sword 004 edition’ rose, along with the air conditioner, and soared into the sky, higher and higher.

It soared, and soared. Upon reaching a certain height, it transformed into chunks of ice. However, the flying sword’s speed was not affected, and it continued at a speed which wouldn’t make it burst into flames because of friction, freely crossing through the atmospheric layer.

Just like that, it flew into space, starting its endless voyage…

As long as the spiritual energy within the ‘disposable flying sword 004 edition’ did not get completely consumed before that, and as long as it did not collide with any stars, a black hole, meteorites, or any similar dangers in the vacuum, this air conditioner would become the earth’s first domestic air conditioner to enjoy space travel.

Hmm, in fact, before the air conditioner, a luxurious carriage used by the emperor, three mechanic dragons, two mechanic elephants, a monster snake that once committed an offense against Senior White, a precise seismograph… etc. shared this experience as well. All of them once sat on ‘disposable flying sword 001’, ‘disposable flying sword 002’, and ‘disposable flying sword 003’ under Senior White’s help, and embarked on their tragic space travel.

With regards to sending those items into space, Senior White had already showed his long-time experience. He could maintain control over the flying sword’s speed, allowing it to cross through the atmospheric layer without exploding in flames. The sword and its burden also would not lose power and end up falling from the sky back onto earth.

Via a sword art, freely starting its space voyage.

Upon completing everything, Senior White wiped his sweat.

Then, he returned to the second floor, and in the original location where the air conditioner had been placed, he engraved… an illusory art formation.

Soon after, a lifelike AC unit appeared in its original position.

After that, Senior White drew another illusory art formation outside. Lifelike ventilation system parts then appeared in their original position as well.

"Haha, done.

After that, in a few days’ time, I will go to the chat group’s fellow daoist friends to change some money and secretly buy an air conditioner in its place. For now, just gotta make do with this," Senior White let out a hollow laugh, hoping that fellow daoist Song Shuhang wouldn’t sense anything odd... would he?

Should be able to get away with this, my illusory art is after all of a pretty high standard.

Hee hee hee~

After engraving the formation, Senior White felt kind of guilty. He held his own laptop and went back to the room Song Shuhang prepared for him on the third floor.

However, after returning to the third floor, he saw the color TV in his room.

He couldn’t control it any longer, his fingers started wriggling.

Three minutes later, Senior White gritted his teeth, and resolutely said, "It’s ok, disassembling one or disassembling two is the same! At most, by then I will buy a brand new set back!"

Thereafter, with a face filled with happiness, he started disassembling the color TV…

What would you guys say is the best written LN? I'm looking to try an example of this type of literature but I want to read the best example I can.
Like I'm talking quality of the language/translation more than the subject matter, as people's preferred subject matter can differ a lot.

Am I the only one here reading Way of Choices? I would think for all the complaints in this thread, a story like this would be mentioned more often.
