Tomato's Explosive Book

As a flood of twenty-first-century code drowned the last trace of his consciousness, programmer Lin Yuan died suddenly and opened his eyes in a herb garden paved with bluestone. To his shock, he was now in the mist-shrouded Qinglan Sect. A dark green jade pendant on his chest warmed and pulsed, carrying a fragment of the “Great Void Spirit-Guiding Art” that could break the shackles of the mortal world. The stages of cultivation unfolded before his eyes: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core... But he was only an outer sect disciple with three spiritual roots, dismissed as “useless.”

There are no cold, mechanical wonders of science fiction here, only the searing heat of spiritual qi tempering the body, the mysteries of spiritual consciousness taking form, and the ancient resonance of pill furnaces. Using a programmer's logic to unravel the secrets of spiritual plants and a modern way of thinking to overcome the obstacles of cultivation, he goes from weeding the herb garden to exploring the perilous secret realm of Broken Mountain. Beneath the cloud patterns on the dark green jade pendant lie the ancient secrets behind the fall of the Great Void Immortal Sect, and a reflection of his pure, unyielding heart.

“I was once a craftsman of mortal code. Now I seek the Dao beneath the Nine Heavens.” As his spiritual consciousness pierces the mist and a remnant stele reveals traces of an ancient immortal, Lin Yuan grips a blade of light and embarks on an endless path from the Qinglan Sect to the heart of the Great Void. Here, there is the cruelty of the law of the jungle, but also the determination to uncover the truth of the world; the joy of breaking through to a new stage of Qi Refining, and the awe of exploring mysteries lost for ages. The immortal path stretches on, and his story is only just beginning. This time, the destination lies beyond the Nine Heavens, at the far end of the legend where all dust finally settles.
