Transmigrating to the 19th century, Lin Jie embarks on a desperate quest for survival aboard a coolie ship. Lin Jie's only recourse is his modern-day knowledge and the "Echoing Touch," which reveals fragments of the past when he touches old objects. In this low-magic world, where magic comes at a price and power stems from knowledge, he uses his mortal body to hunt anomalous creatures, transforming them into unique "grotesque weapons." From a humble individual struggling on the fringes of order, he rises step by step to the pinnacle of the Hunter Rankings. Welcome to 1888, a time when SAN is as precious as bullets.
The dream is to cross the dead mulberry tree from the bottom of the sea and witness the storms of the Milky Way.

The nine provinces and four seas, the Xuanzong Demon Sect, the gods and heretics, and the Pure Land Sangha.
Refining Qi, imparting talismans, taking medicine, divination...

In this world, people and objects of contract coexist, swords, spears, firewood, rice, oil, salt, water, fire, wind, thunder, pigs, dogs, cows and sheep can all be used as contracts.
Consume your lifespan to infuse martial arts, and you can perform deductions infinitely.
Shen Yi's mortal body has a lifespan of no more than a hundred years, but fortunately he can obtain the remaining lifespan of demons by killing them.
Drawing a long sword in this chaotic world full of evil spirits makes these creatures who have lived for thousands of years terrified!
From [Eagle Claw Kung Fu] to [Eight Desolate Sky-Splitting Hand], from [Demon Subduing Fist] to [Golden Body Prison-Suppressing Dharma Image]!
Shen Yi would occasionally wonder why his lifespan seemed to be increasing the more he used it.
He sheathed his sword and looked up at the sky. He had heard that above the clouds there was a Jade Palace in the Sky, filled with thousands of saints, each of whom had experienced endless years.
This time I came to the sky just to borrow a million years from the immortals to prove my immortality.

This book is also known as "I'll Let You Spend Your Life Practicing Martial Arts, Will You Spend Others' Life?" and "Fellow Daoist, Please Stay, Your Lifespan Is Destined to Me."
As time went by, Zhang Wenda always felt that some things in his memory became abstract. He didn't know whether it was true or a distortion of his memory.
However, when he suddenly faced those things again, he found that something was wrong with the world.
Immortal cultivators
No worries about firewood, rice, oil and salt
But one cannot escape the greed, anger, ignorance, love, hatred, desire, and vengeance of the mundane world!
With destiny in hand, Chen Qing must survive!
He travels through time, only to find himself in a chaotic world where martial arts reign supreme and human life is as cheap as grass. He begins as a poor fisherman's son in Yazi Bay. His father, imprisoned and forced into forced labor, has been missing for the last time. His orphaned mother, exploited by both government taxes and the "Dragon King Incense" gang, struggles on the brink of starvation.
There's always a way out, and a thought hangs in his mind: "Destiny: Heaven rewards hard work, success is inevitable!"
This means that for him, there are no qualifications or bottlenecks to any skill; as long as you put in the effort, you will be rewarded!
In the first year, Princess Li Qian first met the "gentleman". The man was upright and fair. She sneered: "Hypocrite."
In the third year, the battle for the heir to the throne was lost in one step. He closed his eyes and begged for death. The man was the only one who stepped forward and risked his life to protect him back to the capital. She sneered: "He is still a gentleman."
In the fifth year, the coup d'état ascended the throne. The empress came to the court and offered the man high positions, generous salaries, noble ladies and beauties. She refused them all. She frowned slightly: "He is indeed a gentleman."
In the tenth year, she woke up in the morning with soreness all over her body. She gritted her teeth and cursed the man beside her: "You are unworthy of being a gentleman!"

"Three things can make the empire great again: swords, humble officials and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism."
He said to the empress.
For ten long years, I honed this blade, its frosted edge yet untried.
Now I draw it before you: who here dares speak of injustice?
I am the only one in the world who kills, and no one in the world kills me.
