Beneath the modern city, there is more than steel, concrete, and the bustle of everyday life.
In the shadows beyond the reach of science lies a real world tightly controlled by the state: qi sensitivity, spiritual perception, anomalous energy, unknown entities, and the cultivation practices that most people have only encountered in novels.
Lin Mo is an ordinary grassroots civil servant, with an uneventful twenty-four years behind him. The only unusual thing about him is that, since childhood, he has been able to see the halos of life invisible to everyone else. He thought it was an illusion, until one night two mysterious visitors from Bureau 749 knocked on his door.
This is no legend or paranormal rumor. It is the National Bureau of Special Phenomena Research and Control, directly under the state.
They study qi, contain anomalies, and pass down cultivation techniques. Using modern institutions, scientific thinking, and military-style management, they protect an order invisible to ordinary people.
Overnight, Lin Mo is confirmed to possess a rare innate spiritual constitution. He officially joins Bureau 749 as a cultivation trainee.
There are no divine artifacts falling from the sky, no world-defying bloodlines, and no overpowered hero who breezes through every challenge. This is simply the most realistic, grounded path to cultivation an ordinary person could take.
Breathwork and qi cultivation, visualization and meditation, basic breathing exercises, sensing energy fields, handling anomalies, field assignments...
Through strict discipline and training, he will slowly transform from an ordinary person into a cultivator with genuine abilities.
As the missions grow more perilous, Lin Mo gradually discovers that Bureau 749 protects more than public safety. It is the last line of defense between modern society and forces beyond human understanding.
