The idea of the story was a writing prompt that said "The Cultivator Fucks off and becomes a farmer."

I thought the cultivator having a magic chicken would be hilarious. And thus BOC was born.

And yes, I did read Xianxia and Wuxia stories before I wrote one. The parody comes from a place of love. I do enjoy me some face slapping and defying the heavens, even when I do poke fun at it.

As for writing Xianxia? read. Get to know the tropes, in all their glory and all their horror. Its certainly quite different to english novels I find, and theres nothing quite like it, even machine translated like a lot of them are.
