The Taoist Priest Comes Down the Mountain: This Celestial Master Is a Little Unorthodox

This is a world where the cultivation realm and modern society have blended in fascinating ways. Cultivators no longer hide away in remote mountains; instead, they eagerly embrace modern technology. They start livestreams, and viewers can exchange gifts for cultivation items such as talismans. Zombies are no longer terrifying creatures. Instead, they dance to “Pure Land” in public squares, becoming a novelty for onlookers. The Meng Po Soup has also kept up with the times and is delivered through food delivery apps, making the connection between the underworld and the living world even more “convenient.” The Taoist temple where the protagonist, He Xiaoxian, lives has seen public interest in traditional temples plummet with the rise of modern entertainment. With incense offerings dwindling to nothing, the temple is on the verge of closing, forcing them to descend the mountain and launch an unusual new business model: “mysticism + the internet.”
