    Those who enjoy folklore and the supernatural might find this book worth reading. It clearly distinguishes between major and minor deities, explains the proper binding of half-open and dead spirits, and outlines the procedures for offering sacrifices to household spirits, writing ancestral tablets, and submitting petitions—it's not just random fabrication. The story unfolds following the female protagonist's experiences from childhood to adulthood, with strange occurrences interspersed within her ordinary daily life.

    The story of a Taoist priest who has mastered the loopholes in the world's secrets. A perfect explanation for why ancient magic is no longer effective? Why don't powerful demons appear in the world? A truly imaginative concept!

    I'll try again. The protagonist's ancestors were immortals. You can tell from the name that I'm not the author, but I've already given a lot of support to Daoist Dianzi out of love, just in case a new author can't keep going. Currently, the Xuanmen (mystical arts) includes the Craftsmen, Meishan, and Quanzhen, and the official site has the Zhenmi Group. I mainly like Daoist Dianzi because he seems sincere. Besides the story, he's willing to share some steps on talismans, alchemy, and life insights. His descriptions of ghosts and spirits are quite detailed, such as the Zhu Mei Soul and the Zhao Clan Spirit—it's the first time I've seen such detailed descriptions of the Seventy-Two Spirits. Many scriptures are cited, and he even published the Daoist Canon's Essentials of Alchemy in the entire book, although the later chapters seem to have been censored by the platform...
