Transmigrate into a Hong Kong Horror World: I Cultivate the Way of Caution to Sainthood, Leaving Uncle Jiu Frustrated

[The Ultimate in Playing It Safe + Talisman Bombardment + Uncle Jiu’s Blood Pressure Through the Roof]

Gu Yi transmigrates into a world of the supernatural and becomes Uncle Jiu’s eldest disciple.

While others learn how to subdue demons, he studies The Art of Playing It Safe:

“Play the pig to eat the tiger and keep your trump cards hidden. Avoid trouble by steering clear of entanglements. Stay flexible with your morals so you can pass the buck. Caution comes first if you want to live the longest!”

Wencai and Qiusheng are about to collapse from horse stance training? He offers them tea and advice. “Remember, if you can’t beat them, run. You have to be alive to pick up the scraps!”

Uncle Jiu goes out, so Gu Yi sets up a nine-layer formation around the funeral home and locks his own master outside. “It’s not demons I’m guarding against, it’s unnecessary entanglements!”

Daoist Simu wants to buy talismans on credit? Gu Yi writes it down. “Thirty thousand talismans are on the way. You can pay later, with double interest!”

A haunted village and a demon’s lair appear. Uncle Jiu draws his sword and prepares to charge, but Gu Yi tosses out a hundred straw effigies. “Wait a moment, Master. Let the puppets scout ahead!”

A demon tries using illusions? He dumps a hundred thousand talismans on it. “You want to play tricks with me? I’ll show you what it means to overwhelm the enemy with firepower!”

Uncle Jiu looks at the talismans covering the ground and Gu Yi reaching for his abacus, trembling with rage. “You ungrateful disciple! You’re calculating the cost of exorcising demons?!”

Gu Yi smiles and slides his counting beads. “Even a master and disciple should keep their accounts straight. Could you reimburse me, Master? After all…”

“Surviving to the finale is the true way!”

Uncle Jiu is speechless: his disciple is even more devious than he is!

[Ding! Achievement unlocked: “Overwhelm Uncle Jiu with Talismans.” Reward: Top-tier magical treasure! Heaven-defying cultivation technique!]

From then on, Maoshan has a new legend: the eldest disciple has more talismans than there are zombies, and his tricks are sturdier than the coffin lids at the funeral home!
