Still a Little Better Than Everyone Here

Chen Yuan has made a plan for his life: no salt production, no glass sales, no movable-type printing. With his knowledge of how history unfolds and a perspective more than a thousand years ahead of his time, he should be able to live a peaceful life in Chang'an.

Just then, men in Chang'an begin turning up drained and mummified. The authorities are on edge, claiming evil spirits and monsters are responsible, but Chen Yuan scoffs.

That is, until two envoys from Shangqing Temple arrive and Chen Yuan follows his father’s orders to meet them.

The moment the two sides meet, a string of strange information floods his mind.

Copied: Ninefold Heart-Refining Manual, Thunder Art of the Subtle and Mysterious Way!

Cultivation: Fifth Rank of the Daoist Path!

Still a little stronger than everyone here!

Range: Ten meters in every direction!

Well, he really is a little stronger than everyone here, because both envoys have reached the Fourth Rank of the Daoist Path!

Wait, are there really evil spirits in this Tang dynasty?
