Lu Tianxing was born in a mountain village amid strange omens. A wandering spirit entered his body, leaving him frail and sickly. His parents sought every kind of treatment, but nothing worked. During one especially dangerous illness, a Taoist master happened to pass through the village. Seeing Lu Tianxing’s unusual constitution and auspicious destiny, the master decided to take him as his disciple and bring him back to his mountain temple to cultivate.
At the temple, Lu Tianxing began a grueling life of cultivation. Every day, he rose before dawn to study Taoist scriptures, spells, and incantations under his master’s guidance, as well as practice the basics. At first, the spirit inside him often acted up and disrupted his training, causing him great pain, but he persevered through sheer determination. His master taught him the basics of the art of divination using the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, showing him how to observe the stars and interpret the trigrams. Through constant practice and reflection, he gradually grasped the fundamentals. After years of cultivation, he had built up considerable Taoist skill. Master Chen then sent him down the mountain to do good deeds, uphold justice, slay demons, and bring blessings to the people. From then on, Lu Tianxing embarked on a bloody struggle against the forces of evil.
