Urban Daoist Venerable: An Invincible Life That Begins with a Broken Engagement

Shen Mo, heir to the Tianyuan Mountain Taoist temple, descends the mountain on his master's orders to honor his childhood betrothal to the Su family, only to be met with a cold reception. Carrying a jade pendant, a secret manual, and a note, he starts out as a naive Taoist in bustling Lincheng, where he meets Ouyang Qing and her daughter, who make a living collecting scrap.

With his Taoist healing arts and appraisal skills, Shen Mo makes a name for himself and earns his first fortune, helping Ouyang Qing start a business. The Su and Song families repeatedly try to suppress him, but he strikes back with force and cunning, establishes the Tianyuan Group, consolidates his influence, and uncovers the truth behind his family's “bankruptcy.”
