Gray always knew he was special. He was blessed with a pair of heavenly eyes that saw the world like nobody else. He had dominating strength, honed by the savage wilderness of the King's Mountains. He was meant to achieve great things, to surpass his upbringing as an impoverished miner.
His belief was confirmed one day when a beautiful fairy sister fell from the sky into his lap. She didn't stay long but she left an unforgettable impression. So, he set out into the endless world of cultivation to see her again and win her heart.
He would encounter, along the way, countless treasures including ancient weapons, heavenly gems, rare metals, and sacred medicinal pills. He would meet all kinds of people and develop unbreakable bonds. He would struggle against enemies that challenged him to the physical and spiritual limit. He would even be dragged into an existential war for the human race against their eternal enemy.
And perhaps, he would also find the time to establish his own dominion as the one and only Treasure King!
Book 1 - Lord of the Jade Plains
The Jade Plains, filled with great herds of bison and ferocious packs of wolves, was a dangerous frontier region where two towns fought for supremacy. These two towns, and two families that controlled each, were old foes destined to clash after a long period of fragile peace. The one that emerged victorious would become the undisputed lord, the owner of all the wealth that lied beneath these windswept hills and endless waves of grass. But nobody was prepared for the arrival of an exceptional young man from the mountains taking the first stumbling steps on a path to greatness.

A fat mountain boy is visited by a jade beauty, and decides to embark on a cultivation quest.
Spelling & Grammar 2/5 - Typos and missed words are fairly common.
Style & Story 3/5 - Fairly bland, aside from the hook things follow standard cultivation expectations. It is reasonably well written and consistent. There is additional emphasis on the interactions between low level cultivators and worldly concerns that lends nuance to the protagonist's exploration of the world. What would otherwise be a banal intro saga, becomes a journey of growth.
Characters 2.5/5 - While the protagonist does not strictly conform to the archetype of cultivation MC's, I am superised at how two dimensional he still seems. He rather reminds me of Son Goku from the original Dragon Ball series. Side characters naturally have even less development as they come and go from the narrative. However, both Sun Xueling and Alisha Patel are characterized relatively well.
