A Taoist's Road to a Comeback: The Wage-Slave

During a trip south, a young man unexpectedly receives enlightenment from a patriarch in his dreams and steps onto the path of Daoist cultivation. Through a twist of fate, he joins the Maoshan lineage. He climbs the mountain and practices Maoshan Daoist arts under his master and senior brothers. Later, he inherits the Maoshan legacy. When his years of cultivation come to an end, he descends the mountain to uphold justice and aid the people. Unfortunately, this Maoshan Daoist finds himself reduced to a speck of dust in the secular world. He struggles to make a living while putting his Maoshan arts to use: capturing red-clad vengeful ghosts, destroying corpse spirits, learning the roads of the underworld, and hunting ghosts and spirits by night. Though life is difficult, his Daoist arts are passed down through the world. [Long-form Daoist coming-of-age novel] [Supernatural] [Based on real folk accounts] [Daoism]
