Dusty Fate on the Path to Immortality

Ling Xiaozi, a revered immortal of the cultivation world, is surrounded by enemies and detonates himself, perishing in the process. His remnant soul transmigrates to the modern world and takes over the body of Lin Mo, a frail young man. Faced with a body wracked by asthma and on the verge of collapse, along with the bullying of his cruel relatives, Ling Xiaozi uses his supreme Daoist wisdom to defy fate and change his destiny.

He first reveals his abilities by using a silver needle and a bowl of water to set up a “Qi-Guiding, Origin-Restoring Formation,” easing the boy’s pain for a time. He sets up a fortune-telling stall on an overpass, sees through people’s fortunes and misfortunes, and slowly gains a reputation. He dispels the sinister energy in a haunted house and reverses its feng shui, drawing wealthy businessmen to seek his help. But forcing himself to use mystical arts backfires, leaving him coughing up blood and gravely injured. To prolong his life and continue cultivating, he navigates the world of the powerful, trading feng shui and mystical arts for rare medicinal herbs as he gradually mends his broken body.
