Synopsis

[A charlatan by day, a real ghost hunter by night!]

My name is Chen Cheng. By day, I make a living as a funeral host, leading mourners through funerals and memorial rites. By night, I'm a real Taoist exorcist.

I was perfectly happy hunting ghosts and earning a little money until my master suddenly showed up to sell me on the Super Taoist Tournament. I joined the variety show The Super Taoist Tournament for its five-million-yuan grand prize, broadcasting my scientific take on superstition to the whole internet.

Viewers laughed their heads off: “How come this Taoist is so scientific?”

Then, during the livestream, a real hundred-ghost procession appeared. Everyone kept asking, “Th-this can't be done with special effects, can it...?”

The production crew was petrified, and the whole internet went wild: #Holy crap, ghosts are real!

I sighed, flicked my lighter, and casually incinerated the ghost. Then I said, “The special effects team just messed up.”

Supernatural, Urban, Taoist Priests, Taoist Arts, Taoist Sects. No Weird Dungeon Arcs

Taoist arts and Taoist sects, but no bizarre dungeon arcs. I've had enough of these bizarre stories lately. The writing is unbearably ridiculous. If ghosts can be killed by just any random thing, then they aren't ghosts anymore.

Any Modern Urban Fantasy Stories with Superpowers?

I noticed that when you search for urban supernatural powers on Tomato Novel, everything is about the apocalypse, spiritual qi revival, and monsters invading. Just because Selling Great Strength and Slime became popular, does every novel have to follow the same formula? I miss Paper God, which was purely about supernatural battles, and Blue and White Society, which was full of wildly imaginative ideas.
