The Seamstress of Fate

In this cultivation world, cultivators don’t meditate. They eat people. They devour a traveling peddler’s lifespan to prolong their own, or a martial artist’s fighting spirit to increase their power. The bones of those venerable, immortal-looking patriarchs are steeped in the lives of thousands. Ning Gui is a craftsman who travels from village to village, carrying a battered leather case filled with needles, thread, and porcelain bottles. Cultivators fear him. Because he doesn’t steal your cultivation. He sticks a needle into your wrist and draws out, one by one, the lives you’ve devoured. You think he’s going to give them back to their owners? No. He raises his hand and devours them all. “From this day on, your life belongs to me.”
