“Liu Xiaoxian, being with you is a waste of my youth. We're breaking up. It's over!” Dumped in public by his materialistic girlfriend, Liu Xiaoxian got dead drunk. At the urging of a bad influence friend, he started an outdoor adventure livestream, hoping to earn enough tips to get by. Instead, he ended up at the top of a mass grave on Qingmei Mountain, on the outskirts of the city.
As viewers in the livestream chat joked that the streamer was brave and the place looked terrifying, thick fog rolled over the mountaintop, and his friend vanished. Liu Xiaoxian found a palm-sized token outside a small temple. Just as he dismissed it as worthless junk, a commanding voice rang out in his mind: “Suitable aptitude detected. Would you like to inherit the Heavenly Master's legacy?”
Other ghost hunters have to establish a shrine, follow a lineage, and train their skills. Liu Xiaoxian can simply hunt ghosts for people and absorb resentment to exchange for items.
A vengeful spirit causing trouble? Trade for a Palm Thunder talisman and blast it away in one thunderous strike.
A fierce ghost haunting someone? Build up some resentment points, exchange them for a lightning-struck peachwood sword, and put it in its place.
His fellow ghost hunters were stunned. “Bro, where did you get those talismans? They're insanely powerful!”
“Thanks for asking. I traded resentment for them, and I can keep getting more.” Liu Xiaoxian cheekily dug in his pocket and exchanged for another stack of evil-repelling talismans.
Liu Xiaoxian rubbed the Heavenly Master's token and sighed with emotion. His life as a Heavenly Master with cheat powers was only just beginning. From then on, his life was turned upside down: his ex begged to get back together, while all manner of demons and monsters fled in terror.
