I Returned as an Immortal

Return as an Immortal

Lin Yuan, twenty-six years old, an orphan, and the only true immortal in the Cangxuan Realm in ten thousand years.

After living in another world for a thousand years, he spent three hundred years refining qi and was mocked as “the slowest in history.” Two hundred years into foundation establishment, every member of his sect had died. At last, he reached the True Immortal Realm, and all beings honored him as the Immortal Venerable Guichen. After being invincible for far too long, everything had grown tiresome. With a single sword strike, he split open the barrier between realms and returned to Earth, which he had been away from for six years.

At three in the morning, in the old town's night market district of Tianhai City, he stood at a barbecue stall. At last, he got to eat the grilled gluten skewers he had been longing for for a thousand years.

He walked over and lightly touched her wrist with a fingertip. Three seconds later, the pain was gone. He turned and went back to his skewers, but she chased after him to the stall and snatched a bite of his lamb skewer.

From that moment on, this man who looked like an ordinary office worker fresh out of a job became the one mystery in her life she could never solve.

He delivers takeout, eats barbecue, and gets lectured by the neighborhood aunties to “make something of himself.” In passing, he anonymously sends the country a few material formulas, tripling the performance of aircraft engine blades and helping the chip industry bypass every patent barrier. At a secret meeting, the country's highest leaders make their decision: Don't investigate, don't ask, don't interfere.

All he wants is to live in peace. But trouble always comes looking for him: the young heir to a wealthy family coveting the Gu Group, an international mining giant with global resources in its sights, and former enemies tracking him from the Cangxuan Realm all target this “delivery guy.”

They have no idea that the one they're about to provoke is a dragon that has slept for a thousand years.

And the person who left a bottle of Lao Gan Ma in the stone house...
