For three generations, the Zhang family trained beasts, but a book called The Classic of Strange Beasts brought about their slaughter.
Newborn Zhang Han had a birthmark shaped like a scroll on his chest. On the night he was born, white mist shielded the clan as they fought their way out, risking their lives.
Three years later, a talisman shop opened west of Zeyan City. Its fat shopkeeper taught the boy to draw talismans. He drew a hundred Breeze Talismans in a row, until his hands were calloused.
No one knew who the boy was, or who the fat old man was.
Pursuit followed them like a shadow, and danger never truly faded.
Years later, when the gentle, jade-like youth stood above the nine heavens and looked back on the road he had traveled, people finally realized that the tiny talisman shop from all those years ago concealed something powerful enough to shake the Three Realms.
It meets the requirements of orthodox fantasy novels and has detailed content and plot. The suspense and reasoning are in place, looking forward to it (*^o^*)
