Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio: A Young Man Returns Home, Wielding His Sword to Slay Evil and Protect His Neighbors

At fifteen, Lin Kun witnesses demons and monsters running rampant across the world. He leaves home to seek immortality and spends three years crossing countless mountains, only to have cultivators everywhere declare that his limited aptitude leaves him no hope of cultivating immortality. At the brink of despair, he awakens a special ability bound to the fortune of supernatural beings, turning the tables against fate! Returning to his abandoned ancestral home, he unexpectedly rescues a badly wounded fox spirit cultivating the Dao. Little does he know that this fox, versed in poetry and books and understanding of human feelings, is a thousand-year-old demon cultivator who sneaks into his study every night to read in peace. The good-for-nothing's cultivation journey takes a turn at last. Borrowing the fox spirit's fortune, he cultivates Maoshan orthodox arts and ventures into the eerie world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. The cultivators who once mocked his poor aptitude are left dumbfounded. From then on, the young man and his fox spirit guard the ancestral clinic and suppress evil spirits throughout the world, forging a one-of-a-kind path to immortality in a land overrun with demons and ghosts!
