With only three years of life left, a damaged Daoist foundation on the verge of going berserk, and a rank-nine Daoist, Li Daoxuan is kicked down the mountain by his dying master. To find the innate talismans scattered across the world, he takes 2,300 yuan and a copper coin sword and plunges into a modern city ablaze with neon. When he encounters an armed robber on a high-speed train, a single Palm Thunder spell makes him an overnight sensation online as a “wild cultivator.” A cool, stunning CEO bears the bloodline of a mountain god; an energetic hacker is obsessed with the truth behind the supernatural; and a female military officer represents the will of the nation. These three bonds gradually pull him out of the selfish trap of “finding talismans to stay alive” and toward the grand destiny of “defending the righteous path of the human world.” Ancient, incomplete arts clash with the eerie forces of a new era, and primordial talismans meet modern technology. Amid the undercurrents of global supernatural powers, one man and one banner must preserve the last traces of ordinary human life in this frenzied world of spiritual qi revival.
