After ten years of grueling cultivation on Mount Qingcheng, I thought that becoming a Daoist master meant hiding away in the mountains. But the moment I came down, I was greeted by the mysterious news of my grandfather's death and a modern city rife with intrigue!
My name is Song Canyang, and I'm a… well, a seasoned Daoist, despite having just turned seventeen. Mobile payments? Shared bikes? I haven't even figured out all this fancy stuff, and already the mysterious notes Grandpa left behind have revealed a shocking secret: the world is far from as peaceful as it seems! Hidden practitioners of dark arts, vicious ghosts and spirits, urban legends, and ancient evils… They've been lurking among us all along! And my seemingly ordinary grandfather was actually an ace member of the country's secret organization, Bureau 749?!
Following Grandpa's dying wish, I head to bustling Sucheng to settle an old score involving a stunning campus beauty. But the young lady doesn't believe me and thinks I'm a charlatan? Heh, this should be interesting.
Who says a Daoist has to shun worldly pleasures? To keep a low profile and see what the kids down the mountain are learning, I decide to go to college for fun! How hard can the college entrance exam be? Compared to drawing talismans and setting up formations… it might actually be pretty easy.
Armed with Daoist arts and Grandpa's legacy, watch me exorcise demons and eliminate evil in the city, uncover the truth behind his death, and, uh… accidentally become a top student, make a little money, and attract a whole lot of admirers? Don't mess with me, or I'll show you why the end of science is metaphysics, and why a Daoist's skills are no ordinary thing!
