   Reader note

   In 2014, after graduating from high school, I became a disciple of Master Li Jingshan. I studied Taoism for three years and then the Dharma for another three. After five years of practicing the Dharma in the world, I occasionally had some insights. Therefore, at my master's request, I wrote this novel. Its aim is to explain the Dharma in a clear and logical way to enlighten the world. Furthermore, the methods described in this book are common techniques, applicable to ordinary people. Secrets are not explained, so please understand! This book has a slower pace than current online novels; those without patience may leave now. Remember! The methods recorded in this book only have miraculous effects when used properly and with good intentions. Otherwise, the Dharma is useless and will harm oneself and others!
