[Infinite-flow instances + mild horror + eerie world + growing protagonist]
Since those aloof and exalted immortals are heartless,
keeping humanity like lambs in a pen and harvesting their fear,
then Bai Luoxian will treat them as monsters, drag them down from the clouds, and refine them into Daoist talismans.
That’s not so unreasonable, is it?
[Instance excerpts]:
“The Buddha says all living beings suffer, and once fed his own body to a tiger.”
“Now, feeding the Buddha with blood, I finally know that the Buddha is me.”
Opening verse for the Flesh Buddha instance, Chapter 31
(No romance, but the female characters are developed in detail.)
(This book is also known as Refining Monsters into Talismans. There is no System, so the early chapters may feel a little slow. Please give it a few more chapters.)
It's really good! But it requires a little patience. Bai Chi, a fake Taoist priest, is pulled into a new world and discovers that this world has real Taoist arts, with Taoist talismans judging all sorts of bizarre crimes. The character designs and actions are all logically supported. Each story is short, with highlights and satisfying moments for passersby. It's captivating and hard to put down.
Overall, the experience was pretty good. While the early stages weren't particularly amazing, the first dungeon was fairly immersive. Surprisingly, the Azure World got quite exciting after Chapter 20; hopefully, the third dungeon won't disappoint.
