The extraordinary rise of office drudge Luo Hang: When a pendant recognized its master through blood, he became a “professional opportunity-hopper” in A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
Twenty-five-year-old Luo Hang, an office drudge in Jiangnan, found a half-moon-shaped bronze pendant at an antiques market, and his life veered completely off course. During a clichéd heroic rescue, the pendant suddenly recognized its master through blood and swept him into the fictional world of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality. Even more absurdly, the pendant formed a one-cubic-meter storage space in his sea of consciousness and let him travel freely between the two worlds!
Time flowed at vastly different rates in the cultivation world and on Earth: one day on Earth equaled one year in the cultivation world. Drawing on his modern-day familiarity with the plot of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Luo Hang headed straight for the gates of Yellow Maple Valley, where Han Li began his journey as a disciple.
His Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Roots weren't top-notch, but Luo Hang had the advantage of knowing what was coming. He knew of Doctor Mo's schemes, the dangers of the Blood-Colored Trial, and the fragment of the Evergreen Technique hidden in the Seven Mysteries Sect. Like a slippery catfish in the cultivation world, he kept showing up wherever the action was: tailing Han Li as he gathered herbs, lending Doctor Mo a hand with alchemy, and staying in the back to pick up scraps during the Blood-Colored Trial...
Nobody knew how much of a stir this blue-robed cultivator, who always seemed to show up at just the right moment, would cause back on Earth...
But as he watched his reflection gradually transform from an office drudge, he suddenly realized that this so-called “opportunity-hopping” might never have been a one-way act of plunder. After all, Earth held his past, while the cultivation world held his future.
