Long-running 红果 series like this one are exactly where a downloader earns its keep — 111 episodes is a lot to stream one at a time, and a lot to lose if the app ever pulls the title.
What it's about
The title lays out the premise directly: qi refining (炼气) is the lowest, entry-level stage of cultivation in Chinese fantasy fiction — most cultivators pass through just a handful of its "layers" before advancing. A lead who's reached the nine-thousandth layer of that same beginner stage is a deliberate absurdity, signaling raw power that dwarfs what his rank on paper would suggest. That mismatch plays out here against an empress-level figure who ends up accepting him as her teacher — the underestimated-master trope that runs through much of 红果's cultivation catalogue.
