Lu Jiuyang, an eighteen-year-old third-year student at Lingang No. 1 High School, carries a secret identity: he is a reborn individual. In his previous life, he was adopted by Maoshan from a young age and cultivated Daoist magic in a world overrun by ghosts and zombies. He became a Heavenly Master in his mid-twenties, destroying countless demons with heavenly thunder. During a catastrophic attack of millions of ghosts, terrifying Fierce Fiends emerged, and the entire Maoshan sect sacrificed themselves. Alone and surrounded, Lu Jiuyang used a forbidden Daoist art at the cost of his life and soul to seal all the evil spirits. As his consciousness faded, he was reborn at age fifteen into a world completely changed: no ghosts, no zombies, no demons. Evil spirits existed only in fiction. Maoshan had become an ordinary religious site with no true Daoist magic inheritance. Lu Jiuyang understood he was now the only Daoist priest in this world who knew real Daoist magic. For two years after his rebirth, he enjoyed the peaceful life, attending classes and occasionally setting up a stall to tell fortunes for extra cash. Nothing unusual happened until one day, while he was on a busy street calling out for customers, a passerby argued over the price of a fortune reading. Lu Jiuyang suddenly spotted a girl in a school uniform—Lin Xueer, his deskmate and the school beauty—and noticed a wound on her arm bandaged with gauze, with black-red blood seeping out. He also observed that she avoided direct sunlight and smelled a faint odor of rotten flesh. Recognizing the signs from his previous life, he concluded she was injured by a zombie. This shocked him, because zombies should not exist in this world. Lu Jiuyang followed Lin Xueer to the classroom. As he entered, he saw several boys surrounding her with concern while she leaned against the wall, trembling. In his sight, a faint black mist gathered above Lin Xueer's head, indicating deathly energy. He realized the situation was dire. Just then, their Chinese teacher entered and scolded the class. Lu Jiuyang sat down and immediately told Lin Xueer to hold his hand if she wanted to live. He used a Pure Clarity Fiend-Dispelling Talisman, a Maoshan technique to suppress corpse poison. Although the talisman temporarily eased Lin Xueer's symptoms, the corpse poison proved too strong, indicating that the zombie that scratched her was no ordinary one but likely a Hairy Zombie, a level far beyond basic zombies. Worried that the Corpse Poison would attack her heart, Lu Jiuyang used his Yang Energy to transfer to her through a kiss, buying her a brief moment of clarity. He then carried her on his back and ran out of the classroom, ignoring the teacher's anger, claiming she had osteoporosis and needed sun. Outside, Lin Xueer's condition deteriorated again as the bloodthirsty desire overcame her. Lu Jiuyang used his Vital Blood and a series of hand seals to perform the Three Yangs Seal Meridian, a Daoist art to forcibly seal the three meridians that corpse poison must pass to attack the heart. This suppressed the poison for two hours, during which Lin Xueer would unconsciously absorb sunlight's Yang energy. Realizing this was only a temporary measure, Lu Jiuyang carried her to a dense grassy area on the outskirts of the city, an Extreme Yang Land with abundant sunlight and Yang energy. He placed her in the center, removed her shoes and socks, and arranged a magic circle of glutinous rice around her. Glutinous rice, being full of Yang energy, can restrain yin evil like corpse poison. He applied the rice to her wound and used his Vital Blood to mark four points on her forehead, chest, and soles of feet. Then he formed hand seals and guided the surrounding Yang energy into a vortex, drawing the black Qi of corpse poison out of Lin Xueer's body. The corpse poison resisted, but with a final golden rune, Lu Jiuyang purified it. After half an hour, the glutinous rice turned completely black, and Lin Xueer's fangs and nails returned to normal. Exhausted from the continuous use of Vital Blood and Daoist arts in his ordinary body, Lu Jiuyang sat down to rest. Lin Xueer woke up, confused, and saw Lu Jiuyang sitting cross-legged with his back to her. She asked about her wound, and Lu Jiuyang began to question her about what had scratched her arm. However, the story leaves Lu Jiuyang facing the looming threat of a Hairy Zombie in a world that should have none, while Lin Xueer's life has been saved for now but the source of the poison remains unknown.
