I Livestream to Pay the Bills. How Did I Become a Daoist Master?

After waking up, Qin Changsheng transmigrates to a parallel world and becomes a young Taoist priest in a dilapidated temple in Qingcheng.

Short on money and nearly unable to afford food, he starts livestreaming sales, offering various “traditional Taoist crafts” to help make ends meet.

On his first day streaming, an honest viewer asks, “Master, can your protective talismans glow? Can your peachwood sword chop down JS?”

Qin Changsheng replies, “Find some JS first, then we’ll see. It can definitely chop chickens!”

A goofy viewer asks, “Are these chickens legit?”

Then a viewer named “749 Employee” asks, “Master, I’d like to ask: are the things you sell the real deal? Can they kill ghosts?”

Qin Changsheng flashes a roguish smile. “Of course they’re the real deal. I’ve used the Golden Light Mantra to consecrate every item and empowered them with the Five Thunder Method. They’ll kill ghosts every time. If they don’t work, come find me and I’ll chop them myself!”

The honest viewer takes him at his word... and places an order at once!

It turns out they really are amazing: “The protective talisman repels evil, and the peachwood sword kills ghosts with one strike.”

Qin Changsheng: Fellow Taoists, let me reiterate: everything I sell is a “decoration or ornament,” not a “magical artifact” or a cultivation item!

Everyone, believe in science! I’m a positive-energy streamer!

Not long afterward, Qin Changsheng learns the truth: “Spiritual qi revival is coming, and chaos is about to engulf the world.”

The great masters of the various Taoist sects gather at the White Robe Temple in Qingcheng. “We beseech the Heavenly Venerable to come forth and restore peace to the world!”

Qin Changsheng stares at them in confusion. “What the heck? I’m just a little Taoist priest. What’s a Heavenly Venerable? I’m really not some big shot!”

My username is “Just the Handsomest Taoist Priest.”
