Everyone in Qingyan City knows that the pawnshop south of town has a sour, bookish scholar named Lin Yan. He wears half-worn glasses and buries himself in ledgers. He hasn't even broken through the Body Tempering Realm, making him the laughingstock of the whole city.
But no one knows that this seemingly spineless accountant is actually the last heir of the ancient Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!
With the Karma Ledger in his left hand to record every debt and grievance, and the Cosmic Abacus in his right to determine life and death:
Called off an engagement? He predicts "After the darkness comes the dawn," and within three days his former fiancée's meridians are shattered, leaving her a cripple.
Steal a treasure? He works out "The Wind Disperses," and opportunities in a secret realm come straight to him.
Level up? Settle a single karmic debt, and his cultivation rockets upward. He breaks through the Qi Gathering and Core Condensation Realms as easily as a snap of his fingers!
Others rely on brute force to fight monsters; he uses divination to find their weaknesses. Others rely on luck to seize opportunities; he uses deductions to determine the fate of the world!
"You want to kill me? First, let's calculate whether you'll live past the third watch tonight."
Lin Yan nudged his glasses and gently moved an abacus bead. "Your cultivation method has a flaw, your treasure hides a danger, and I've even calculated your luck into ruin. What makes you think you can fight me?"
Settle karmic debts and calculate the fate of every villain under heaven; hold the secrets of the universe in your hands and command the destinies of countless worlds!
Watch as the most devious accountant uses nothing but an abacus and a ledger to calculate everything under heaven and rise to become the Master of Calculation across countless worlds!
I have read a lot of fantasy novels before. They all feel the same. This novel has new ideas and you can also learn a little bit about hexagram interpretation. It is a very thoughtful novel.
