The Thirty-Six Heavenly Prison Ghosts

Originally titled "The Immortal Cultivation Tale of Pulao" and "The Immortal Cultivation Tale of Erlang"

Pulao is an ordinary young man who happens upon a badly damaged ancient book in a long-forgotten corner. It records how to summon thirty-six Heavenly Prison Ghosts, each with a different ability. Every one of these ghosts has an astonishing special power. The Fragrant-Eating Ghost fills the air with a delightful scent whenever it appears, as if transporting people to a sea of blooming flowers. The Underground Ghost excels at burrowing through earth and can travel freely beneath the ground, much like the legendary Sun the Earth-Traveling. The Swift Ghost can cover ten thousand li in a day, moving as swiftly as a gust of wind. Most fascinating of all is the Garland-Eating Ghost, whose eyes can see a thousand li and perceive everything in the world, even peering into people's hearts. The Pilichai, meanwhile, is immortal: even when killed, it quickly springs back to life, as if endowed with eternal vitality. With the ghosts' help, Pulao gradually comes to understand the path of immortal cultivation and embarks, step by step, on a journey filled with the unknown and the fantastic.
