Reincarnated as a cannon-fodder character in a modern city? While everyone else panics, Bai Qian turns unorthodox arts into a wish-fulfillment story.
Sense qi and draw talismans? He can do it after watching once. Run into a villain? He sacrifices them to boost his cultivation. The Anomaly Control Bureau comes knocking? He casts a spell from afar and leaves them questioning reality.
While others insist on cultivating gradually, his motto is, “If I don’t have enough resources, I’ll make the old ancestor provide them.” From cannon fodder to a demonic giant, anyone who gets in his way will have their soul extracted and refined into a spell.
The righteous call him evil, the demons fear being skinned by him, and even the official agencies have to slap a “high-risk warning” label on him.
Bai Qian says: It doesn’t matter whether I follow the left-hand path or the crooked one. After all, the light of day in this world has always been something you have to carve out for yourself!
The unorthodox path has found its “daylight” because of him. He is the pinnacle of the demonic path, and the righteous path’s ultimate nightmare.
Yes, the male protagonist is not a good guy. Although the whole process is about searching, fighting and retreating, the fighting is not very cliche and the rhythm is moderate. It is a clever and interesting story.
