The Cultivation Legend of a Cowherd Boy

On his way home after tending cattle in the mountains, Luo Jiarong, a cowherd boy from a small town, approaches a white-clad female ghost out of pity when she cries that she has been wronged by evil men. But she suddenly changes her face and attacks him. Just as his life hangs by a thread, the Taoist priest Xuanfeng arrives in time, subdues the ghost with a peachwood sword and talismans, and saves Luo Jiarong. Seeing that Luo Jiarong has an exceptional constitution and a kind heart, Xuanfeng invites him to join the Taoist order. Impressed by the wonders of Taoist arts and still shaken by his brush with death, Luo Jiarong agrees. He follows Xuanfeng to a Taoist temple and begins his training. Just as his diligence starts to pay off, strange things begin happening around the temple: black dogs disappear, and eerie sounds come from the mountains. A mysterious, evil force is quietly drawing near. Immersed in his training, Luo Jiarong has yet to sense the danger and still looks forward to becoming a proper Taoist priest. But an even greater challenge is already approaching, one that will change the course of his cultivation entirely. Where does this mysterious force come from? What trials await Luo Jiarong and the temple? A thrilling fantasy adventure begins...
