After a Century of Sign-Ins at the Taoist Temple, I Become a Saint Among Mortals

Li Muchen was reborn with memories of his previous life, only to become the unluckiest graduate of a university of Taoism: no connections, no resources, and reassigned by official order to a desolate mountain in Jin Province where not even birds would land.

The mountain had only one temple, Qingfeng Temple, which was on the verge of collapse. The old abbot had long since passed away, the incense had died out, and the nearest village was five miles away. The mountain was barren, the halls dilapidated, and even the rats thought the place was too poor.

In this land where Buddhism flourished, there was a solitary Taoist temple and a lone abbot. Li Muchen stared at the leaky roof and quietly packed his things. “This job isn't worth it!”

The moment he stepped through the temple gate

[Ding! Host has officially succeeded to the position of abbot. Heaven's Fortune System activated!]

[Within the temple grounds, you can obtain one exclusive boon each day!]

Li Muchen turned back to look at the temple's battered signboard and suddenly smiled.

From that day on, spiritual herbs sprouted on the barren mountain, and the ruined halls glowed with a pure light each night. A dry well filled with spring water, and an ancient tree blossomed. Villagers who occasionally climbed the mountain would hear faint chanting from the temple and see the young abbot standing amid the clouds and mist, like an immortal.

Then, one day, a severe drought struck Jin Province. The Buddhist temples held three days of rain prayers, all to no avail.

Dressed in blue, Li Muchen climbed onto the altar. He simply looked up at the sky and softly said, “Let the wind come.”

In an instant, dark clouds blotted out the sun, and thunder rumbled.

Before the cameras livestreaming the scene to the entire internet, the phantom image of the temple behind him soared into the sky, covering half the land.

Only then did everyone realize

The dilapidated Taoist temple that had nearly been forgotten was home to… the only true immortal in the world.
