   Reader note

   The setting that "cultivators cannot display their divine power in front of mortals" explains why cultivators are so low-key and also provides logical support for the protagonist's "testing of the immortal master". The Taoist priests at "Liaoyun Temple" are all incompetent, a satirical take on traditional cultivation sects, with a touch of dark humor that brings a knowing smile to the reader. The concept of "Night Sigh Monk" Ye Wumian is novel. "Night Sigh" (pronounced "wei") implies that she is related to water, the underworld, and dreams, which is highly consistent with her ability to "cultivate in water" and "communicate with ghosts and spirits," and has a strong cultural feel.
