Spirit Blade Mountain

Fairly certain that the Chinese title (从前有座灵剑山) is referring to a joke, the light-heartedness is one of this manga's strong points, while also incorporating serious philosophical considerations. The pacing is also excellent, after reading manga for sooooo many years, pacing is now what I appreciate the most and find sadly most series lack in, especially the xianxia genre. The characters & character development are also very good, the MC and his master have such good chemistry! I did spoil it for myself that they eventually get together, but would totally ship them even if I didn't know. Really looking forward to when master's past gets revealed, the plot has heavily foreshadowed it. Look how cute she is when she was little:
