Seeking Immortality Through Tomb Raiding

Winter, 1985. Lin Mo, a graduate student in archaeology, saw his life collapse overnight. His grandfather was critically ill, and the massive medical bills drove him to the brink. With nowhere else to turn, he opened the only keepsake left by his missing father: a dusty copy of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles.

The book contained not only forbidden knowledge about feng shui and deciphering traps, but also clues to the sudden disappearance of his father, a legendary tomb raider. To save his grandfather and find out what had happened to his parents, Lin Mo was forced to team up with his childhood friend Lei Hao and enter a bizarre, perilous underworld.

What seemed like a simple trial run unexpectedly led them to a Tang-dynasty tomb of an “exiled immortal” and a mysterious bamboo scroll, written in Qin seal script and giving off a strange fragrance. From there, the secretive Longevity Pavilion, an organization that had pursued immortality for millennia, slowly came to light.

The truth behind his father’s disappearance, his mother’s search, and his grandfather’s unfinished instructions… Every clue pointed to the same ancient mystery.
