Beihai Whaling

"Nine Heavens cast down the Undying Tree, from the tomb the Immortal's bones were fetched;
Taoist Venerable tut-tutted as they drank blood plasma, Old Buddha relished in the chew of meat;
Beasts and livestock rang the Dharma Drum, city foxes and hole-dwelling rats boiled in the pot;
In the Immortality Wine, the resentful spirits were fishy, at the Killing Banquet, the Dao Fruit was bitter!”
In this world where Daoist Skill manifested, countless Sect Cultivators, Side Door Magicians, princes and scholars, officials of high rank and nobles all coveted immortality!
Owl God Tomb, stealing heavenly secrets, Pearl Gathering Skill, Holy Infant Pill, bone effigies, Yin God Shrine, human-transformed monsters, Undying Elixir, Red Line Poison, Blood Immortal insects, Mermaid Meat, gold-threaded robes, Five Poisons Primordial Spirit, Seven Star Life Extension...
They killed and harmed life only to steal the "Killing Dao Fruit" borne upon that Undying Tree!
Until... a sly "Fishing Man" came to this world.
Wang Yuan, born with the Small Book of Life and Death, had but a simple and unadorned dream:
Amid bustling strings and smoky vistas, on a night bathed in moonlight, in peace and quiet did I lean on the rail, savoring the wind, toasting to the stars.
With his "Bride in bridal clothes," watching the sunrise at Taishan in the morning, admiring Qionghua in Luoyang at noon, and drinking under the aurora by the North Sea in the evening.
"But you all smell so incredibly fragrant!
No more, none shall escape, for today I shall crowdfund Cultivating Immortality! Please... my treasure, turn around!”
The blood-red veil of the Bride abruptly fluttered to the ground.

Killing Dao Fruit

In a calmer bend downstream of the Luo River, a drenched Wang Yuan climbed out of the water, his body naked.


But at this moment, he was no longer Prince Zhou Jingyao nor "Thief Cat" Cui Tong.


Instead, he was another one of the three Painting Spirits of the Human Face Painting—a renowned doctor named "First Hand Qin," Qin Yong'an.


To prevent any possible pursuit, he hadn't taken a single item that once belonged to Zhou Jingyao, regardless of value.


Even the face skin he had peeled off and his original clothing had been burned at a secret spot he had chosen in the previous stretch of the river.


The powerful Qi-Blood in Wang Yuan's body, on the brink of becoming Non-Human, surged with heat, rapidly drying him off.


Then, he found a package he had hidden in advance in a hollow dry tree and took out a set of green clothes befitting the identity of a doctor to wear.
