    #Transmigrating to the Republic of China Era, I Became a Maoshan Master## Opening: Awakening in Another World Chen Jingnian transmigrates to the Republic of China era. Upon waking, he finds himself in a mortuary, surrounded by zombies straight out of a movie. He realizes this isn't a dream, but a real transmigration. His body is strong, and a surge of energy within his dantian seems to indicate his talent for cultivation. ## System Awakening: God-Level Summoning Talent In his confusion, the system's voice echoes in Chen Jingnian's mind. He has obtained the "Equivalent Exchange System." This system allows him to exchange items obtained from killing ghosts and zombies. Even more surprisingly, he gains a god-level summoning talent right from the start. ## Cultivation Path: Maoshan Heart Sutra Chen Jingnian begins cultivating the Maoshan Heart Sutra—the Three Mao True Scriptures—from his mind. He doesn't know his own strength, but he is determined to become a true Maoshan Master in this new world. ## Apprentice to Qianhe: Learning Taoist Arts Chen Jingnian's master is Daoist Qianhe, and he learns Taoist arts from him. He discovers that his fellow disciples are all outstanding disciples of Maoshan, which further strengthens his resolve to cultivate. ## The Transmigrator's Challenge: Zombies and Ghosts Chen Jingnian knew that as a transmigrator, he would face many challenges. He would fight zombies and ghosts, and use the system to exchange for more cultivation resources to improve his strength. ## The System's Wonders: Item Exchange Chen Jingnian used the system to exchange the spoils of war he obtained in battle for cultivation resources.

    The gates of hell are wide open, and wandering ghosts, vengeful spirits, and malevolent spirits surge into the mortal realm like a tidal wave—the ghosts of women who died in childbirth haunt those about to give birth, their blood bait and red threads around their necks luring them to their deaths; white-haired zombies that feed on the essence of living creatures burst forth from mass graves, their bluish-gray claws tearing through doors and windows; painted-skin ghosts that are adept at disguising themselves by peeling off human skin lurk in the marketplace, using beautiful faces to absorb yang energy; there are also water ghosts trapped at the bottom of rivers, dragging those who fall into the water with their bluish-black, rotten hands; there are also evil infants crying in delivery rooms, and purple zombies gnawing on the rotting flesh of desolate graves... All these evil spirits are born from the excessive yin energy of heaven and earth.

    🌺Highly Recommended🌺 The first book is brimming with various folk forbidden arts, and is incredibly captivating. 🌺Part One ①. On the eve of my ninth birthday, my grandfather made a coffin and buried me in a mass grave. This was a strange custom in our family. From the age of three, my grandfather would make a coffin for me every year: the first year a willow coffin, the second a cypress coffin, the third a sandalwood coffin… I was sealed in a coffin and buried alive by my wicked fiancée, but she didn't know I was destined to be the King of Hell! The book features feng shui, physiognomy, face painting, summoning souls, ghost walking, corpse driving, and unique black magic… a variety of folk forbidden arts, all presented in great detail. 🌺Part Two ②. *The Art of Character Divination* The art of character divination begins with understanding people.
