   Amazing! Amazing! So amazing! [Smirking][Smirking] This book unfolds with a live-streamed exorcism, no female lead, no inexplicable face-slapping plots.

Furthermore, it touches on the Yin-Yang Eight Gates: corpse driving, paper-making, corpse retrieval, Yin-Yang, embalming, coffin making… The first volume focuses on the protagonist's growth, with a touch of warmth, about forty chapters. The later volumes unfold with supernatural stories and taking on apprentices. Amazing! So amazing! Go for it, brothers!

    Highly recommended! The latest Republican-era novels in the Nine Uncle series: ① Shen Mo transmigrates to Renjia Town in the Republican era. With astonishing comprehension, he learns the art of corpse refining and masters the *Tongtian Lu* (Record of Heavenly Enlightenment), his fist techniques as swift as lightning. He aspires to cultivate into the Daoist Master of Ten Thousand Laws, exploring the true meaning of Daoist arts amidst chaos, gradually ascending to the pinnacle of Daoist arts, and writing a legend. ② The male protagonist, Lin Luo, transmigrates to the world of Nine Uncle, becoming Nine Uncle's eldest disciple. After ten years of silence, he finally awakens the Simplification System. All skills can be simplified: Shangqing Breathing Technique simplified to breathing; Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture simplified to deep breathing; Lightning Thunder Fist simplified to generating electricity through friction. In a zombie world, he exterminates zombies, collects ghosts, and assesses feng shui for dwellings and houses. Half a bowl of clear water reflects the universe; a single talisman commands ghosts and gods.
