Zhen Yuanzi: I Guard Mount Ling with Ginseng Fruits

Five hundred years ago, Qing Feng, Zhen Yuanzi’s last disciple, stumbled upon the secret of Lingshan: refining merit lotuses with the souls of mortals. The Tathagata cast him into the cycle of reincarnation for “blaspheming the gods and Buddhas.” As his soul scattered, only a wisp remained, hidden inside a ginseng fruit seed.

Zhen Yuanzi sat in vigil over that seed for five hundred years. When the remnant soul finally began to gather again, he used his cultivation as the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals to tear apart the barriers between the Three Realms and send the seed into the mortal world. Then he sealed away his own powers, took on the identity of Yuan Zhen, a feng shui master, and entered the human world to find his disciple, reunite his soul, and exact revenge. This time, he would wield “mortal-world metaphysics” as his blade and “the laws of earthly immortals” as his shield, shattering Lingshan’s gilded facade of hypocrisy.
