The Good-for-Nothing Tianshan Taoist

Wu Ming is a good-for-nothing student at Longcheng University. His family is poor, his studies are going nowhere, and his girlfriend has dumped him. He struggles to scrape together enough money to live on each week, and his fate seems plagued by one calamity after another.

Amid the bustle of the city, he meets a mysterious elderly street fortune-teller named Chen Daoming. The old man immediately recognizes Wu Ming's rare pure-yang constitution and offers him a job as his assistant, paying him a hundred yuan a day.

Desperate for money, Wu Ming accepts. He begins learning ancient knowledge of yin and yang, the Five Elements, cultivation, and the subjugation of demons. Before long, he is formally taken on as a disciple and embarks on the path of cultivation.

But this is the Age of Dharma Decline, an era when spiritual energy has run dry.

Though Wu Ming has exceptional talent, his cultivation progresses at a snail's pace. He is still a low-level cultivator who can barely activate even simple talismans, relying on the pure-yang qi and blood he was born with. Every Saturday and Sunday, he follows his mysterious master through the shadows of the city, resolving one seemingly ordinary yet truly terrifying feng shui scheme or case of demonic possession after another. He has no idea that his master is a peerless expert from the reclusive Tianshan Sect, nor does he know that his unusual fate is leading him toward an extraordinary opportunity that will let him defy heaven and change his destiny.

How will a good-for-nothing college student struggling to make ends meet grow, step by step, into a Tianshan Taoist renowned throughout the land?
