Daoism emphasizes the practice of self-cultivation and the pursuit of the "true self," aiming for the realization of authenticity while discarding falsehoods in the quest for immortality.

The process of cultivating immortality, also known as "Xuanzhen" or "internal alchemy," involves both external and internal refinement of one's essence. Contemporary practitioners, or Taoists, engage in various methods to achieve this, primarily through external alchemy (consuming elixirs) and internal alchemy (refining the three vital energies: essence, qi, and spirit). The concept of the Golden Elixir Path further illustrates this journey.

There exist various subgenres of cultivation novels, including modern, ancient, urban, fantasy, and metaphysical narratives.

The stages of cultivation are often delineated as follows:

1. Perceiving spiritual energy, known as "refining qi."
2. Establishing a solid foundation with concentrated spirit, referred to as "building the foundation."
3. Gathering spirit to form elixirs, which is called "spiritual elixir."
4. Nurturing the elixir into an infant state, termed "elixir infant."
5. The original spirit leaving the body is described as "transformation of spirit."
6. Refining the spirit into emptiness is known as "refining emptiness."
7. Consolidating the virtual into the actual is called "body unification."
8. The spiritual body following desires signifies entry into the Great Vehicle.
9. Countering heavenly forces to achieve immortality often leads to divine retribution.
