About the Book

When Lin Rui died, he was a detective.
When he woke up, he was a cultivator.

Now trapped in a xianxia world where the Spirit-Web is breaking and cultivators are dying mysteriously, Lin Rui must use the only weapon he has — his mind.

As others chase enlightenment through meditation, Lin Rui discovers that solving mysteries strengthens his cultivation. Every exposed lie, every uncovered secret, feeds the Spirit-Web and brings him closer to power.
