Secrets of the mystic arts: talismans, incantations, and hand seals. Exploring mysterious places. Historical figures from across the land, and the stories behind famous mountains and great rivers.
A lazy man and a silly dog roam together through a fantastical world of mystic arts.
Qin Qingyang was found by his master in White Tiger Cave and raised for more than ten years. Lazy by nature, he had no interest in cultivation.
Who would have thought that when his master forced him to temper his heart in the mortal world, he would accidentally get caught up in a plot by Japanese pirates to capture the souls of ordinary people and refine them into corpse demons? He also encountered a remarkable man from the Dragon-Protecting Manor, the old Daoist Bao Yi. Together, they subdued spirits and demons taking shape among the mountains and rivers with one hand, and slew evil beings from Japan with the other.
He had thought his life would be simple, but then he got mixed up in the secrets of the imperial court and became a public enemy of the land.
With no other choice, he cleared his name through a coup and returned to the path of cultivation. But then he discovered humanity's ultimate secret.
This world of mortals was never humanity's true home.
