Chronicles of the Nine Hells' Mystic Cauldron: Master of the Yin-Yang Eyes

During the Wanli era, the mystic world was in turmoil. Hundreds of ghosts roamed by night, and the boundary between humans and spirits grew increasingly blurred. Lu Xuanji, an outcast disciple of the Celestial Masters, was born with Yin-Yang Eyes that could see through illusions. But after secretly releasing a demon spirit, he was branded a traitor and took to wandering the land, hunting demons for bounty.

While investigating the disappearance of a bride in Yangzhou, he crossed paths with Bai Qingli, a genius young disciple of Maoshan. Their first encounter ended in a fight, but it drew him into a shocking conspiracy surrounding the ancient evil artifact known as the Nine Netherworld Profound Cauldron.

The five great clans of the mystic world fought in secret and in the open to claim the cauldron's power. Fragments of its loosening seal scattered across the land, corrupting living things and unleashing the uncanny. The truth behind the murder of Lu Xuanji's father and the mystery of Bai Qingli's mother's tragic death were both closely tied to this dark power. From ghostly coffins in the Yellow River to strange happenings in the capital, from Miaojiang poison magic to the merfolk realm in the East Sea, Lu Xuanji and his companions, including his bronze compass and the constable Zhao Tiezhu, journeyed across the land in search of the five mystic keys. They had to fight mystic-world traitors who had fallen into the path of evil, as well as savage demons and ghosts, while facing the ultimate trials of karmic fate and human greed. With Taotie on the verge of breaking free and the world teetering on the brink of destruction, this irreverent outcast would shoulder the responsibility of protecting all living beings and become the new hope for restoring order to the mystic world.
