Spiritual Qi Revival? The Immortals Are Just Hunting for Food!

Spiritual qi revival began, and everyone said the age of cultivation had arrived.

But Li Chenzhou, a night-shift forensic examiner at the Lanjiang Judicial Examination Center, found a still-breathing piece of granulation in the stomach lining of the first corpse to die after "absorbing qi."

The dead man's body temperature kept rising, his blood was replaced by golden lipids, and a 2.2-millimeter scorched hole marked his chest. The authorities called it a failed cultivation attempt and ordered the body cremated as soon as possible.

Li Chenzhou refused to sign.

Following the trail from the corpse to a refrigerated truck, an underground sluice gate, and a recipe written on human skin, he discovered that the so-called spiritual qi was a human-growth accelerant sprinkled down by a gigantic mouth beyond the heavens; the so-called cultivation arts were the preprocessing steps for turning the living into Dao fruits; and the so-called ascension meant being carried up to the sky screen by golden stomach threads, becoming a meal for the diners above.

Other people cultivated to make themselves more suitable for the table.

But Li Chenzhou's body possessed an "unregistered fate" that could not be filed under any celestial recipe. He could neither absorb qi nor ascend. All he could do was see the pathological traces left behind by the rules and use a scalpel to seek out the gaps through which they entered the human world.

When the first scorched bone began to form a Law-bearing Bone Aspect inside him, he finally understood:

This revival was no gift.

The feast was beginning.
