Uncle Nine: Traveling Between Two Worlds, I Take the Taoist Priest into the Modern Age

After transmigrating into Uncle Jiu's world, Xiao Wu is tricked by a fox demon into a broken-down house and nearly becomes its snack. Uncle Jiu arrives just in time to slay the demon with a single sword stroke. When Xiao Wu comes to, he shamelessly begs to become his disciple. After three months of hard training in Maoshan's Yang-Purifying Fist and secretly learning the Shangqing Great Grotto Scripture, he has barely crossed the threshold of cultivation when a teleportation array yanks him back to his modern-day rental apartment, bringing Uncle Jiu along for the ride.

As Uncle Jiu stares dumbfounded at a computer screen showing Maoshan Ghostbusters, Xiao Wu has already figured out the rules: they can travel between two worlds, and time stops while they're away. So he learns to draw talismans, exorcise ghosts, and build up his cultivation in the zombie world with Uncle Jiu, then returns to the modern world to open an online shop selling talismans, take exorcism jobs, and rack up views. Then one day, Uncle Jiu stands before a glass curtain wall for the first time in the twenty-first century, gazing at the neon lights filling the streets as he murmurs, "This place is even brighter than the underworld..."

Xiao Wu pulls out his phone and opens a food delivery app. "Master, save the amazement for later. Try this crispy roast goose. It tastes better than those roosters you raise."

A System notification pops up: Two-world passage stabilized. Next stop: take Uncle Jiu to the cinema to watch Mr. Vampire.
