Zhang Bairen, a “good-for-nothing” obsessed with primordial mythology, transmigrates to a cyber-world where technology reigns supreme and becomes a debt-ridden “cyber wage slave.” In a desperate moment, he scribbles a “ghostly talisman,” only to find that it stabilizes the raging energy of the “Bifang Furnace”! He suddenly realizes that this world’s cutting-edge technologies, the “Xuanniao” fighter jet that patrols the skies like a Vermilion Bird, and the “Primordial Chaos Umbrella” patterned after the Eight Trigrams, are built on principles straight out of the Eastern occult lore he knows so well!
So he grabs a calligraphy brush, later upgraded to a “talisman brush,” and starts pulling off one outrageous stunt after another: using a “Swift Travel Talisman” to make a beat-up three-wheeler hit legendary speeds, a “Calm Mind Talisman” to put rampaging AI to sleep, a “Golden Light Talisman” to blind energy-devouring rats, and even a “Spirit-Summoning Incantation” to power up a mech!
From Chang’an’s lowest levels to the power struggles of “Lingxiao Hall,” Zhang Bairen uses his original “scientific talisman arts” to carve talismans into mech engines and write Daoist spells into chip cores. He establishes the “Myriad Phenomena Academy,” unleashing a dual storm of cultural and technological upheaval amid a steel jungle of neon and code!
In Refining Talismans in a Cyber World, watch a “calligraphy brush” take on a “quantum computer” and a “good-for-nothing” become the “King of Rogue Cultivators”! When occult lore collides with cyberpunk, has technology gone down the wrong path, or do talismans conceal the ultimate code? Embark on a mind-blowing cross-disciplinary adventure!
