I'm Just a Tiny Bit Cautious, So How Could I Be the Hidden Ace?

Reborn into a world five hundred years after the events of Journey to the West, Lin Yin becomes a Qi cultivator. Though the gods and Buddhas are nowhere to be seen, danger lurks everywhere. To carve out a place for himself in this cruel world, he can only cultivate diligently and avoid entangling himself in karma. When he kills, he grinds his victims’ bones to dust. He thinks twice before acting, takes a step back whenever trouble arises, lets others go first, and never walks blindly into danger.

Once an office drone in his previous life, he now has only one dream: to cultivate immortality and live forever.

So he keeps his trump cards hidden, practices escape techniques, concocts poison pills, masters divine abilities, and studies secret arts. He stays quiet until he acts, then shakes the heavens. He is exceedingly cautious, all for the sake of a long and peaceful life.

When facing enemies, he leaves no room for error. Even if he has to pursue them for a thousand miles, he will eliminate every threat and cut off all karmic ties.

As the saying goes, if a friend comes from afar, kill him no matter how far away he is. Scatter his ashes, grind his bones to dust, and send the old ancestor’s grave on its way through the cycle of reincarnation.
