In his previous life, Luo Mian was the chief disciple of the Tianwen Sect's leader. He always fulfilled his duties, exhausting himself for the sake of the whole sect, yet his identity as a member of the demon race left him abandoned by everyone.
In the end, he died in a joint purge led by the Tianwen Sect.
He died full of bitterness and resentment. He never expected to open his eyes and find himself back at the time he first joined the sect.
This time, Luo Mian chose a different path and became a disciple of the sect's much-criticized and despised Master Xuanyu.
In his previous life, he had little contact with this Fifth Uncle-Master. He only knew that Master Xuanyu had suffered severe injuries in a great battle. Perhaps because his meridians were damaged and his cultivation declined, he had become eccentric and unhinged.
To avoid repeating the first mistake of his previous life, Luo Mian had temporarily chosen Guan Xiangheng as his master.
At first, he thought that, given his master's temperament as described in the rumors, he would simply leave him to fend for himself. He never expected Guan Xiangheng to take him along on an adventure.
But the adventure Luo Mian had imagined seemed rather different from what his master had in mind...
Watching his master charge into the middle of a battle between sects and start picking up junk with practiced ease... No, not junk, magical artifacts and spirit weapons dropped by the cultivators, Luo Mian fell silent.
His bargain-bin master came back with a bulging storage bag and proudly taught him, "Disciple, just follow your master's lead. We'll make a fortune today."
Luo Mian stared blankly at his master, who looked as ethereal as a breeze and moonlight while carrying a battered hemp sack.
This world can just end already.
