Synopsis

Li Yanchu transmigrated into a strange world of martial arts, Daoist spells, ghosts, and monsters, only to land in the body of a young Daoist at the rundown Qingyun Temple. Just across the street? A rowdy inn run by a stunningly seductive innkeeper. Life could be worse.

Gifted with the mysterious Decree of Bestowal, Li Yanchu can transform ordinary herbs into century-old divine medicine, giving him an unparalleled advantage in cultivation. With this cheat-like ability, he advances rapidly in cultivation, despite being told he had no talent for it.

But cultivation isn’t his only path forward.

After slaying a ghost and earning merit points, he realizes there’s more to this world than martial arts. Hidden behind the scenes is a karma-based system, one that rewards righteous deeds.

As his saber technique grows sharper by the day, Li Yanchu finds himself entangled in eerie mysteries, deadly encounters, and strange happenings in Wei City…
Now, with the authorities pounding on his doors, Li Yanchu’s peaceful days of tea and training might just be over.

Ghosts. Bandits. Cultivation. A cheat system tied to karma. When the mortal world and the supernatural collide, only one Daoist stands between chaos and order.

WebNovelDB Review

7 /10
A fresh, cozy, and funny take on the genre. It's a hilarious and grounded cultivation story where the real cheat isn't just a system, but common sense. You'll find yourself charmed as you watch the pragmatic Li Yanchu brew spiritual tea, avoid trouble, and accidentally solve supernatural crises, all while just trying to keep his temple open. A uniquely satisfying read.
