Who knew immortal cultivation came with so many decisions?

As an inner sect member in the Verdant Green Waters, Long Wu Ying must navigate the customs of the cultivators and choose his secondary occupation. From immortal alchemists, blacksmiths, physicians, martial specialists and more, Wu Ying must find an occupation that defines and contributes to his dao. Outside, the drums of war continue to beat and the Sect is about to be pulled deeper into the battle for supremacy between states.

The Sect Elders will take Wu Ying and his friends on a desperate gamble to prepare for the upcoming war, putting to test everything that Wu Ying has learnt. As Wu Ying stops and takes account of himself and the Sect, he will need to accept his place in this new martial world, put aside his past and strive for the future.

The First Stop is the second novel in A Thousand Li series, a book on cultivation, immortals, wondrous martial art styles and spirit beasts. This series will be loved by wuxia and xanxia fans and those looking for a more westernised cultivation story. The First Stop is written by Tao Wong, the bestselling scifi and fantasy LitRPG author of the System Apocalypse, Adventures on Brad and the Hidden Wishes.

Finished the first book in The Thousand Li series. Immediately used another credit to continue the binge. This book is at least as good as the first.

Right now I am torn between buying the Kindle edition of the third book, or waiting until Travis Baldree narrates it.

Besides being a cornerstone piece of modern wuxia novels, this book and the last are just plain well written. The pacing, the narration, the details that make you feel there and visualize what is going on, without overdoing it, and the believable human interaction and natural dialogue. The author has proven himself to be one of my favorite modern writers. Now I am going to look at his other books.

Way too good, keep them coming Tao!

I can't describe how great these stories are I've listened to the first book about 5 times and now this 2nd book is just as astounding if not greater I am super hyped for the 3rd book to be released in audio form so as to continue this glorious storyline.

no seriously! I can't even pre-order yet. very captivating series and definitely allows my imagination to run wild! still maybe I missed something but what is the primary motivation of the main character? beside of a stubbornness there's no love interest provoking him as of yet? I'm watching for the Nextbook thank you for your good work.

can't wait to read the next one

Guess its hard to compare Performance to award winner Nick Poedel (sic) but still very good. Appreciate the different voices for characters. Wish there was some character list or guide.
Certain parts of the story seemed slightly under developed or skipped over - battles with some enemies went from middle of fight to afterwards.
Good character development and relationships.
Will get the 3rd book.

Great story, can't put it down

Another good cultivation story, with Wu-Ying steadily growing, but most importantly not in an OP type of way. More exposure to the world and mythology. Looking forward to the next.

Enjoyable continuation

Good narration. Not many annoying characters or scenes. Travis does his usual excellent work. Now I’m meeting the required word count.

Good listen. Evenly paced.
