The Immortal Official is a classical xianxia novel by web author Sui Qingfeng Qu, serialized on Qidian and completed at roughly 1.54 million characters. The protagonist, Ye Xingyuan, is a young scholar of traditional Chinese studies from the twenty-first century whose soul crosses into Qianshan Village in the 3,450th year of the Xuanyuan calendar, becoming the scholar Ye Xingyuan who has just taken first place in the community school's annual examination. The original body fell unconscious for three days after contemplating the cliff inscription "Universe Edge" in the mountains; waking, Ye Xingyuan finds he has not only inherited the original body's memories but also retains some peculiar cheat, and that he has become the world's only "nine-life virgin body." This world reveres the literary way: the ancient literary sages intercepted the heavenly dao, and scholars study the classics and use spiritual power to write essays that pull at heavenly mechanism. Whether an essay can resonate with heavenly mechanism determines rank and power. Each step up the examination ladder brings a corresponding divine power granted by imperial heavenly mandate—a child student gains the Noble Body, immune to illness and repelling all evil; a cultivated talent gains the Pure-Heart Sacred Voice, swaying hearts with true words and great principles. Compared with the perilous and unpredictable path of cultivation, the examinations are a safe and broad highway, and precisely because of this he is drawn into a dispute among tutors over county examination quotas. As his cultivation deepens, heavenly mechanism and the orthodox lineage become entangled, immortals and mortals love and kill each other, monsters and demons run rampant, and sword immortals, the Dragon Palace, and sects arrive one after another. Ye Xingyuan advances steadily along the literary examination path while probing the cheat left by his predecessor, carving out his own road as an "immortal official" in a world of gods, immortals, and monsters. The book is noted for combining literary examinations with xianxia cultivation, written with humor and a brisk pace.
在网文仙侠里，把科举写进修行体系的作品不少，但能把“文道”做成一套自洽规则、还写得有声有色的，《仙官》是绕不开的一本。随轻风去是历史科举起家的老手，写过《奋斗在新明朝》《大明官》，对读书人心理、衙门与考场那套门道的拿捏非常熟；这本书里他索性把功名和神通挂上钩：童生给浩然之体，秀才给清心圣音，文章写完要靠天机共鸣才算“有灵光”，连作文写“乌黑”都能成为推动情节的核心冲突，读起来既新鲜又扎实。 主角叶行远也不是苦大仇深的类型，他会算账、会掂量利弊，面对剑仙推销修仙时先想的竟是“这买卖不划算”，吐槽起来格外有意思。开篇“天才废材一线间”的路数虽是经典爽文套路，作者却用文道设定和细节考据另开了一条道。全书约154万字，2015年开更、2021年完结，节奏轻快，长线追读不吃力。 当然，它终究是网络小说那一挂：开局套路老、支线铺得杂、后期爽感优先，追求的是轻松解压的阅读体验，而不是厚重文学性。但若你想看看科举和仙侠能怎么混搭，这本书值得一试。读者口碑不错，优书网评分约9.4。
