A Path to Immortality, The Taoist’s Way (WN)

A detective with a photographic memory—the ability to instantly recall anything he sees—was betrayed by his partner and killed. But instead of meeting his end, he awoke in another world resembling medieval China, reborn as a boy named Kou.

On his way to a provincial city, Kou was attacked by bandits and became the only survivor. In that moment, he realized a harsh truth: in this world, the weak do not survive. Determined to live, he joined a sect—an organization that trains in the mystical arts of the immortals—and began his studies in cultivation.

In this land, wild beasts can transform into deadly yao demons. By hunting these creatures, training in martial arts, and mastering immortal techniques, Kou sets foot on the path of the Taoist—and begins his journey toward immortality.
