   (Taoist Priest + Urban Cultivation + Suspense + No Harem + No System) After five years of struggling and hardship, Li Mu earned 800,000 yuan, which he used to buy tickets to the Tilanqiao Pagoda and improve his failing health! Just as he was preparing to travel to Hegang, a phone call came: "There's a family fortune waiting for you to inherit."
