One Secret a Day: I Refine Qi and Become an Immortal

Qi cultivators, mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, turmoil in Shenzhou, the final years of a dynasty, divine weapons, secret arts...

Lu Chen opens his eyes to a fantastical, bizarre world. The Yin Dynasty, which has ruled Shenzhou for eight hundred years, is nearing its end. Dark currents swirl beneath the surface, and an age of chaos is coming.

He's a low-ranking member of the Xuanqiong Sect, whose territory is expanding at a breakneck pace. His life could end at any moment.

Fortunately, a stone book in his mind reveals one secret each day, from trivial everyday matters to the secrets of immortality that countless extraordinary people have spent their lives pursuing in vain.

[The Xuanqiong Sect seized a young apprentice to serve a pharmacist who makes Tiger-Leopard Pills for the sect. Whenever the furnace happens to produce one extra pill, the apprentice hides it beneath the seventeenth plank of the pier while carrying the pills to the storehouse.]

[No one in the world knows that the legendary Immortal Grass is actually one of Candle Dragon's whiskers. But even if they did, who could pluck a whisker from beneath Candle Dragon's jaw?]

[The Xuanqiong Sect's library contains a secret manual called the Mountain and Sea Fist Manual. Many people have learned the techniques inside, but it's neither a fist manual nor meant to be read. Anyone who eats it will get an unexpected surprise.]

[When the Xuanqiong Sect's leader, Jade Emperor Tu Zhongguang, ruled half of Shenzhou, a fortune-teller once made a prediction about him in his youth: “Three legs will stand the cauldron that rules Shenzhou. Three young heroes whose names are connected to feet will help him establish his rule over Shenzhou.” Ambitious as he is, he has secretly been searching for them ever since.]

[People have always believed that Candle Dragon, who resembles an ancient god, never sleeps. In truth, it falls into a deep slumber on the shores of the North Sea once every thirty years.]

With these secrets to guide him, Lu Chen steadily rises higher and higher amid the maelstrom of a chaotic world.
