Nope not related at all

Ep 168 will have a battle between nascent souls😊

She is the first of HL's seven disciples and is very capable as a manager. In the novel HL later offloaded all his nominal elder's tasks in the Drifting Cloud sect to her. But eventually she didn't make it to nascent soul. Not sure if the donghua will omit these little details.

He'll enjoy the status for a while, but soon after running for his life again lol.

Btw Han Li's new disciple is also very pretty😂

LOL😂 All characters had gotten an upgrade due to the improvements of the donghua team. But we could just take it as she had grown up and therefore prettier😂

In ancient China, cultivation was real and usually practiced by the Daoist, and they did seek immortality and enlightenment in seclusion and peaceful way (they also experimented with creating elixirs like in the Xianxia novels, and accidentally invented gun powder). It's totally unlike in the Xianxia/Wuxia novels/dramas where cultivators try to kill each other or other human beings. The novels/dramas fantasize/dramatize it for the sole purpose of making it more interesting, otherwise there won't be much of a story😂
And no the Daoist can't fly😂 Some of them do practice martial arts and could leap up high walls or onto the roof, parkour style (e.g. those Daoist from Wudang). Taichi is believed to be originated from Wudang, and it is a real martial art that could be used for fighting, not just exercise for old uncles/aunties 😂

How is it? Nice?

Donghua ep 164, Han Li was telling his clan's offspring to stay away from the cultivation world, because it's brutal and an entire clan could get wiped easily. I was LMAO, was he referring to what he just did recently? 😂

Oh ok. She reappeared in ep 162 & 163

Actually I didn't and had to look for it. But it's easy to find since it's at the beginning before HL joined the Yellow Maple Valley Sect😂

Lol the girl at the stall in ep8😂. She was a timid girl and had a special place in HL's heart because she reminded him of his little sister.

Wang Chan part is modified by the donghua team. In the novel he didn't reappear until quite a few chapters later. Btw did you notice Han Yunzhi is a lot more beautiful now?😂

The novel focused on the male protagonist's cultivation journey and not much romance, so it is better to take it as such to avoid disappointment lol. In the novel Han Li actually had a crush with Mo family's second daughter Mo Fengwu and a bad relationship with Mo Caihuan. The donghua team decided to simplify it and chose Mo Caihuan to be Mo's only daughter and let her had a crush on HL, and then later found out that the audiences loved it, and so the drama followed the Mo Caihuan's modification (they share the same lead screenwriter). In the novel HL only had 2 real lovers whom he spent a lot of time with, first being his wife Nangong Wan, and second his mistress Zi Ling (season 2). Zi Ling is believed to be Mo Caihuan's reincarnation (by the readers/audiences). What I heard was the author originally intended Zi Ling to be with HL, but later gave in to pressures from paid readers who demanded Nangong Wan, resulted in HL having 2 lovers.

That's how he gotten the name "Han Laomo" among Chinese readers, which means "Old Demon Han" lol😂

They had expanded a lot on Mo Caihuan's story already and she was given a lot of screen time in the drama lol. In the novel Ms Mo's story was actually very brief, and the donghua simplified it even further by reducing the members in Mo's family. Later realizing the audiences love Ms Mo, the script writing team had reverted it back in the drama and followed the novel (Physician Mo had 4 wives and 3 daughters, in the donghua it was reduced to one wife and one daughter). The reincarnation relationship was not known until almost near the end of volume 2 of the novel, and even so the author had only hinted it vaguely.

The donghua team did a fantastic job in the adaptation and added a lot of warmth and human nature to Han Li's character. Tbh I didn't like his character very much the first time I read through the novel, as he is cold, calculative, driven only by gains, and at time even dishonest. But subsequent read through somehow I kinda accepted it lol.

Yup lol, and I remember someone commented why no blood, but I couldn't recall whether it was the drama or the donghua😂
