My Years in the Daoist Sect

On a sweltering summer day, Luo Jiarong enters a remote village in search of inspiration. The houses are dilapidated, the villagers look terrified, and the whole place feels uncanny. The sound of chanting leads him to a small temple, where an old Taoist warns him that strange things happen at night and villagers have gone missing. After a piercing scream, a shadow flickers through the woods and vanishes. Late that night, a woman in white appears, seething with resentment, and battles the old Taoist. She attacks Luo Jiarong, but the old Taoist intervenes at the last moment. The woman dissolves into black smoke and disappears. Luo Jiarong decides to follow the old Taoist and train under him, hoping to unravel the mystery. But where does the evil force behind the ghost come from? What secrets is the old Taoist hiding? How many more unknown horrors and mysteries lie along this path of Taoist cultivation?
