Cultivating Begins with Recruiting a Substitute

The martial world is a treacherous place, so having a few secret identities is only sensible.

From martial artists of the jianghu to high-ranking court officials, from beasts roaming the woods to ancient great demons, from vengeful stillborn infants to eminent monks who attain Buddhahood through their physical forms...

From the moment a living being dies, any lingering soul that remains in the world comes to Lin Shi and becomes one of his stand-ins.

He can command these stand-ins to speed up cultivation, take risks, or fight, and they have countless other uses. When a stand-in returns to the cycle of reincarnation, all the abilities it possessed in life become Lin Shi’s.

Lin Shi was once just a child from a poor family in Chenjia Village, Pingyin County. After awakening the Stand-In Panel, his path of cultivation officially began.
