Intern doctor Lu Li awakens the Taotie bloodline: he can taste blood to tell truth from lies, devour spiritual energy to grow stronger, and tame magical artifacts to recruit companions.
He delivers face-slapping on Antique Street, establishes his reputation in the emergency room, and turns the tables on the mystical clans.
But his greatest enemy isn’t a villain. It’s his own appetite: devouring the spirit inside an artifact could let him reach the top in a single leap.
Five years of planning, ten years of conspiracy. Everyone is waiting for the moment he “swallows it.”
Lu Li: “I refuse. I can’t swallow this insult, and I won’t swallow my old friends either.”
