   🔥🔥Super good, highly recommended!!! The unorthodox path leads to enlightenment, all for the sake of achieving clarity of mind. The story is excellent; the protagonist's Ten Thousand Souls Banner can collect the souls of enemies for his own use, and he carries a red oil-paper umbrella, collecting them wherever he goes. The author's ideas are clear and concise, without any unnecessary details. The Taoist magic and combat techniques described in the book are truly well-written. Even someone like me who doesn't understand these techniques found it understandable and enjoyable; you can tell the author writes very, very well, very skillfully. Furthermore, He An is the kind of person who venges every wrong and repays every kindness; Bang Gu seems like a meat-loving child, but the contrast is striking – he can kill someone with a single blow. Every character is well-developed and memorable. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up]
