Overall, its ok. There is nothing special about the characters or world but I don't see any major flaws either. Story so far is the overpowered cautious MC with a generic harem. If your looking for a book to pass the time, you could do worse.
Alternate translation title at the bottom of this review.
You can read this and keep most of your brain cells. MC is reasonably intelligent and with common sense, power scaling is respectable, and the ’partners’ are somewhat more than 2 dimensional. Though many of the women seem introduced only to interact with the MC long term.
My favorite part of this book is probably the foresight and schemes cooked up by the MC. Recommended read for fun— but don’t expect anything grand. Get past the first 20-30 ch and then decide.
You won’t find anything looking under the original title so here’s the alternate—
Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu
At-the-standard for world building, nothing exceptional. Has Gu, much like reverend insanity, but they are not at the center of the martial arts in this, as from the first 20 or so chapters, no one but the MC seems to have any.
Importantly, whatever the update schedule for this, you may be best served if you only read 1 chapter per day, or space them out as needed so you forget what's going on in the story, because if you don't forget, the chapters will remind you of everything each chapter.
It is excessively repetitive, and frequently will pull things like "he beat cultivators above his cultivation. he was able to contend with those stonger than himself. this meant he could beat people he normally could not."
If that^ reads poorly to you, I really can't say the style of this story will treat you much better.

TL;DR Entertaining, headache inducing repetitiveness (personal experience)
