Old Fool

In the celestial empire, during the ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven,
Chaos reigns across the land, and the people suffer.
The royal governance collapses, and western barbarians with their pantheon of gods invade.
New warlords arise, claiming territories; the Taiping rebels wreak havoc, leading to widespread misery.
Calamities like floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms, tornadoes, acid rain, blood moons, and meteor falls occur in succession.
Countless demons roam, strange beings thrive, spirits mingle with the inexplicable, and mysterious phenomena arise.
In these dark and tumultuous times, Tao Qian opens his eyes to find himself about to be beheaded at the vegetable market...

"Wu Ming, your fate is truly fraught," sighed Tao Qian inwardly as he stepped into the area.


Almost immediately, clusters of Ghost Fire surged, seemingly eager to illuminate the path for Tao Qian.


Several cultivators and magicians who had entered at about the same time felt neglected as a result.


One of them, a man with a face as large as a plate and disheveled hair, couldn't help but complain, "These days, even these Green-scaled Demons are snobbish, always flocking to the good-looking ones, pah."


After he finished speaking, a female magician nearby, draped in numerous garments and with a plump figure, her face covered in yellow dust, glanced at Tao Qian and then seemed to understand.


Then, speaking in a Southern Land dialect, she said, "You don't know squat, this young man has Dragon Qi in him. These Green-scaled Demons instinctively want to get close, and the bolder ones might even secretly draw a couple of breaths. But you're right, this young man does look quite pleasing."
