The Greatest Charlatan of the Medicine Path

In the final years of the Dayin Dynasty, the spiritual veins are drying up and chaos engulfs the land.

Lu Wubing, a sacred body of the medicine path, can read the lingering emotional memories in medicinal herbs. With a single touch of someone's wrist, he can see through lies they've kept hidden for half their life.

The Medicine King Valley flies the banner of "medicine for everyone," using root powder to control countless followers. In truth, it wants to use the Medicine Tree Heart within him to reopen the grand formation of Medicine City and monopolize the spiritual veins of the world.

The eight sects of the demonic path rise amid the turmoil. The Heavenly Mandate Sect misleads the masses with "destiny," while the White Lotus Sect rallies people in rebellion in the name of the "Mother of No Birth." Confucians uphold justice, military strategists wield swords, and Legalists establish rules. All factions vie for power in this chaotic age.

Lu Wubing navigates the conflict, defeating his foes by exposing them instead of fighting them, and awakening them instead of killing them.

But he doesn't dare tell anyone: the more people he reads, the more he becomes like Yao Wuya.

The price of seeing through people's hearts is letting their hearts take up residence in yours.

Lu Wubing's way of breaking the deadlock is wild: he doesn't fight, he just exposes the truth.

He exposes fake medicine in public, turns people's own rhetoric against them, and gets fan communities to tear themselves apart from within, reducing his enemies' empires of faith to ruins.

But he doesn't dare tell anyone: the more people he reads, the more he becomes like Yao Wuya.

The price of seeing through people's hearts is letting their hearts take up residence in yours.
