Treasure-Hunting and Spirit Reading: Master and Disciple Roam the World

Chen Laobie, heir to the Southern School's treasure-hunting tradition, and his apprentice Lin Xiaoman roam north and south in search of spiritual treasures, turning heaven and earth into their arena and human nature into their game. From a brutal ambush on the salt flats of eastern Ji to a sinister scheme in the water towns of Jiangnan, then a powerful hunt orchestrated by hypocritical gentry in Hangzhou, master and apprentice face danger at every turn. Beneath the water, they encounter a deadly trap that seals their meridians. In shadowy alley deals, they fall prey to human schemes, while underworld villains spring one deadly trap after another. Amid blood and fire, the young Lin Xiaoman transforms from a naive boy into a guardian of the Way, while his master draws on a lifetime of experience in the martial world to keep him safe. Centered on the idea that treasures are easy to find, but hard to guard one's heart, this tale blends the peril of earth-vein mechanisms with the poison of human greed. Behold a thrilling legend of treasure hunters who use their spirit-sensing arts to break through traps and hold fast to the righteous path.
