The Daoists speak of immortal wine and golden elixirs that dissolve the bones and grant immortality. This is called bone replacement.
Physicians say to take three doses a day starting on the day of the bone replacement, washed down with warm wine. In half a month, your spirit will feel light and your eyes clear. Its miraculous effects are beyond doubt.
Many schools of thought offer their own opinions, yet few in this world know that bone replacement needs only one missing ingredient to let one soul take another's place.
"I trade bone for bone. It's hardly a business deal. Young master, take the bone of the one you once risked your life to pursue, and trade it for your own."
The jianghu, the imperial court, ancient Buddhas, immortals and demons.
Four stories, four heartbreaks.
