I had sincerely hoped that authors taking about cultivation in modern context would be more imaginative and think about integrating technology. For a start qi infused guns and all, or even superior technology. It's either all technology or all ancient stuff with cultivation. Unfortuantely this novel is also stuck on swords and spears which are decidedly much inferior to modern concepts of weapons. For instance even with 100 times stronger body, it will not hold up against most of modern weapons. Dear author if you read this comment, it is my sincere suggestion to incorporate modern technology, warfare tactics and all in the qi/body strengthening framework. It will open many more interesting avenues of development of the world being described.
I really thought of several answers to your comment, and for that I reread some parts of the novel, and even so I cannot deny your opinion. The prospect of imagining the MC living thousands of years from the future and not observing the use of equipment that incorporates the best of both worlds is unimaginable, especially a pistol that is a technology easily invented using the metals it has and the nucleus of monsters like gunpowder. The best excuse I can imagine, and really stretching, is that the world still doesn't have enough qi to allow the fusion of both worlds, as if to forge an item or activate a super strong weapon it would have to use in addition to its own internal qi, derived from his cultivation, the qi that is present around him to assist him.
