nning," and even "flying."But Jiang Wang's situation was different. Because he had received the gratitude of the people in Qingyang Town and had survived the ordeal of Hongzhuang Mirror Flying Snow, h...In August, we held an offline influencer gathering.

We booked two villas and had forty-one alliance leaders join us for a three-day, two-night gathering. We talked about our writing experiences, plots, and how we all came to love Chixin... Many people brought short stories and, over drinks, poured out their hearts, expressing how much they loved the story. They spoke so passionately that I was moved to tears. As someone who never smokes or drinks, I couldn't help but have cup after cup.

This gathering was discussed since the beginning of the year. Everyone in the alliance group coordinated their schedules, and most people agreed that August 12th would be a good time.

Similar gatherings have been held before, already two years ago.

Given everyone's understanding of my writing speed, they originally expected me to take leave during the gathering and assured me they would cover for me and handle any reader backlash.

At that time, we never thought that Chixin Xuntian would actually win first place, and it happened in July just before the gathering.

Winning first place and then taking a leave of absence, it's hard not to suspect some diva behavior...

To keep improving, I'm constantly writing. While they're singing, playing board games, having fun online, or going to the billiards hall at gatherings, I'm busy finding places to write and revise my work.

Staying up until three or four in the morning, I still took out my notebook when I woke up in the morning.

Fortunately, the writing goal was completed fairly satisfactorily.

At the gathering, everyone also had many aspirations and talked about things like "after hardship comes sweetness", but they never thought that the August results would be even better.

Throughout the entire month of August, we were topping the charts.

On July 31st, the average price was 37,700. On August 31st, the average price reached 44,200.

This August is a bit dreamy, a 6.8 million-word book increased its sales by 6,500 copies in a month.

This month, we are still the number one monthly ticket.

To be honest, I'm a little dazed.

Besides the support everyone has given this book, and the reason for winning the Five-Star Glory Works Monthly Ticket Red Envelope Award, I also want to say that the six million eight hundred thousand words written in the beginning of this novel were truly written with heart.

The emotions I poured into my words have been sensed by readers. The journeys I took with some readers in the past, unknown to many, have now been seen by more.

In recent months, most of the new members are newcomers. This shows that this serialized novel, which has been running for nearly four years, is still attracting a steady stream of new readers.

In 2019, my writing skills were definitely not as good as they are in 2023. I haven't slacked off for a single day these past few years; if I hadn't improved, I'd be a complete failure.

Therefore, it's understandable that new readers might have some reservations about certain plot points. I hope long-time readers won't be too harsh—new readers haven't stepped into this world yet, while longtime readers have already been traveling through it for a long time. The vibrancy you all feel is still like a reflection in the mirror to outsiders.

As always, if a reader doesn't like this book, it's not their fault. Everyone is born with different preferences. It's also not my fault, I put a lot of effort into writing it and I did everything I could. Sometimes, reading requires fate.

I am a very confident person, but the current achievements of Chixin Xuntian do not mean that we can conclude that this is an exceptionally excellent work.

At most, one can only say that the first six million eight hundred thousand words were indeed written with care, but how the rest is written remains to be seen.

I have always believed that the most important part of a novel is its ending.

Only when we see the three words "complete" at the end of the book can we comprehensively review it—whether it has a good beginning and ending Whether it has built a complete world Whether it is worthy of the expectations we have endured along the way

When we read, we should see the spirit that runs through everything, see the starlight form into a flower, and see all threads eventually become a crown.

Ancient painters would say that a painting is brought to life with the final stroke, like adding eyes to a dragon. Without that last touch, the dragon cannot come alive.

I'm not sure I can do it well, but still, as I promised when I first opened the book - I will do my best.

By now, Wang Zi could look up and see the breathtaking view of the peak. The pit of Xuezhe Sect had almost been filled, with every brushstroke from the masters being well-known. The veil covering the ancient times was also lifted.

Please remind me how many holes are left to fill.

Okay, lunch is over, digestion is done, time to get back to work.

Let's welcome September.
