A Thousand Li: The First Step: A Cultivation Novel

By Tao Wong

The first book of A Thousand Li introduces Long Wu Ying, a peasant villager training in a basic body-cultivation manual when army recruiters conscript him into a war against the neighboring state of Wei. Wounded during the march by a rival from a wealthier family, Wu Ying nonetheless recognizes and warns of an approaching surprise attack, an act that draws the attention of a cultivation sect fighting alongside the army. Rewarded with a healing pill and an offer of outer-sect membership, he must decide whether to leave his family and farm behind to pursue a path of cultivation. Choosing the sect, he begins outer-sect life at Verdant Green Waters, enduring hard labor and demanding new training as he works to prove himself among wealthier, better-connected recruits.
