Soul cultivators usually command fierce spirits, relying on baleful energy to rise above others.
Ouyang Yan, however, takes the opposite path.
His aptitude is ordinary, his soul unremarkable,
and even his bonded ghost is nothing more than a timid, down-and-out scholar.
He picks no fights with people or ghosts,
never ventures into dangerous places or takes a life.
Others laugh at him for being weak and useless, saying he will never amount to much.
But he simply leads his little wandering ghost,
one step at a time, along the safest and most enduring path to immortality.
I’m a soul cultivator. I don’t fight, I just walk my ghost.
