Chapter 1: A Cultivator in New York

United States.

new York.

Inside an old apartment building.

Li Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling.

"I...I think, I think I'm dead?"

"Where am I?" Li Changsheng looked around at his surroundings.

The walls were slightly yellowed, some of the paint had peeled off, the carpet was badly worn, and the old furniture was arranged in a haphazard way. The whole room was filled with an old atmosphere and a strong sense of history.

Before he could figure it out...

"what--"

Suddenly, an intense pain made him writhe on the ground, not a physical pain, but a pain that came from the depths of his soul.

It took Li Changsheng a while to recover. Sweat soaked his hair and stuck to his forehead. He was panting heavily.

He swore that even being struck by lightning wouldn't have hurt this much!

"I actually traveled through time..."

Just now, Li Changsheng received the original owner's memories and realized his current situation.

His original name was Kitagawa Taki. He was studying in the United States and was about to graduate. What bothered him was that Kitagawa Taki's parents died unexpectedly. Since then, he has been living with his uncle, Professor Agasa, and has transferred to Teitan School in Beika Town.

After graduating, I went to university in another city, and then went abroad to study.

Because the original owner of this body was a person with a very strong sense of self-respect, she did not want to add too much burden to Professor Agasa and was used to working part-time to support herself, which is why she lived in this old apartment.

As a result, he was electrocuted and died due to a short circuit caused by the aging of the electrical circuit.

"Professor Agasa...Teitan..."

Li Changsheng's lips twitched. Could this be the world of Detective Conan?!

Although Li Changsheng is a cultivator, he is not a Taoist who is indifferent to worldly affairs and only pursues immortality.

On the contrary, he went to school just like everyone else, except that he had an extra task of cultivating immortality.

In the Dharma-ending Age, cultivators are extremely rare, and their cultivation levels are very low. The ability to move mountains and fill seas, or summon wind and rain, is just a plot in novels. In reality, they cannot even withstand ordinary firearms and it is impossible for them to escape worldly life.

Therefore, Li Changsheng also has ordinary hobbies like everyone else: anime, movies, music, sports...

I've certainly watched the Detective Conan TV series, but I don't remember much of it. After all, Detective Conan really outlived him; the series wasn't even finished when he died...

Li Changsheng was born into a family of cultivators. His great-grandfather was even a legendary Golden Core cultivator. However, as spiritual energy became increasingly scarce, cultivation became more and more difficult, and the family declined.

There was even a break in the lineage between his grandfather and father—

Neither of them had the aptitude for cultivation and were unable to draw qi into their bodies.

So, they had no choice but to place their hopes on him, which is why they named him Li Changsheng.

Longevity is merely a metaphor; in reality, the lifespan of a Qi Refining stage cultivator is only a little over a hundred years, roughly equivalent to the lifespan of an average person. Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can live to two or three hundred years; Golden Core stage cultivators can live to five or six hundred years…

Li Changsheng did not disappoint them, and in just over ten years he cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage.

However, just when he thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of life, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and expand his family line, he was about to...

Reality dealt him a heavy blow; due to the limitations of spiritual energy, the threshold of the Foundation Establishment stage stood like an insurmountable chasm in his way.

Six years, six attempts! Six attempts to establish a foundation, all ending in failure.

Each time one establishes a foundation, only one Foundation Establishment Pill is needed. However, the materials required for the Foundation Establishment Pill are extremely precious and require a lot of money. The already declining Li family had their fortunes emptied in just a few years, which forced him to earn money by catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits for others.

After his final failed attempt at Foundation Establishment, Li Changsheng couldn't take it anymore. He cursed at the heavens, spewing out a string of trash talk. He felt relieved, but his life was in jeopardy.

The sky was clear and blue, but suddenly a bolt of lightning struck, and Li Changsheng lost consciousness...

After calming himself down, Li Changsheng got up and went to the bathroom. He washed his face with cold water and carefully examined his reflection in the mirror.

A face with sharp features, dark eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and medium-length black hair.

He was born with good looks, and now he's truly transmigrated into a handsome guy in Tokyo, though he's a little dark-skinned, probably from working part-time all the time.

Li Changsheng looked at the unfamiliar face in the mirror and murmured, "From now on, I am Kitagawa Taki..."

Kitagawa Taki felt his pockets; there was a wallet and a cell phone inside.

The wallet contained over a hundred dollars in cash and a large number of cards.

Various gift cards, shopping cards, coupons...

The phone was an old-fashioned black button phone. Seeing this, he realized that he must be in the early stages of the story.

The most bizarre thing about Detective Conan is the timeline. Conan has been in first grade for over twenty years!

However, this rekindled Kitagawa Taki's hope for cultivating immortality. If that were the case, he would have ample time to cultivate, and as long as the spiritual energy was sufficient, he would be able to advance in his cultivation level.

Furthermore, it seems the Black Organization in Detective Conan is researching an elixir of immortality. If they could actually create one...

However, it seems that Conan never grows bigger, and the timeline is forever stuck in that year. Does that count as immortality?

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Kitagawa Taki immediately began to circulate the immortal cultivation technique from his previous life—the "Primordial Immortal Technique".

The Primordial Immortal Manual is all-encompassing, including cultivation methods, Taoist techniques, talismans, weapon crafting, alchemy, and formations.

It is said that this technique can be cultivated to the point of ascending to heaven in broad daylight, but unfortunately, without sufficient spiritual energy, even with the technique, it is useless.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye...

Kitagawa Taki finally drew Qi into his body and made it his own. With a trace of spiritual power within him, he officially stepped into the first level of Qi Refining.

At this moment, he also felt the spiritual power of this world, which was much stronger than the world he had before he transmigrated!

Kitagawa Taki's face lit up with ecstasy.

Finally! He finally has a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!

It used to be like he was stuck at 99.9% of the loading bar, but now that last 0.1% has loosened up!

Riding this wave of enthusiasm, Kitagawa Taki began practicing the Nine Syllable Mantra: "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing".

The Nine True Words are a Taoist technique in the "Primordial Immortal Manual," with each word corresponding to a level of the Qi Refining stage.

However, it is not limited to the Qi Refining stage; it is also very useful in the Foundation Establishment stage and even the Golden Core stage, and its effect will increase as the cultivator's cultivation level improves.

The "Lin" technique requires forming the Dugu Seal, which can instantly enhance the practitioner's strength, speed, and other abilities, as if a deity has descended upon them.

Compared to cultivation techniques, Taoist cultivation is much simpler, and Kitagawa Taki quickly mastered the "Lin" technique.

……

night.

Kitagawa Taki hastily ate dinner and turned on the antique television.

These days, without smartphones or computers, the only way to pass the time is by watching TV.

At that moment, the news was being broadcast on television in English.

"Recently, a highway monster has appeared on the streets of New York, and several young women have been victimized. Police are currently conducting a full-scale manhunt. Please be aware of your safety and remain vigilant when traveling..."

Chapter 2 Secrets Make Women More Feminine

"Highway demon?"

Upon seeing this news, Kitagawa Taki had a strong sense of déjà vu, but couldn't quite place it.

Just then, a few gentle knocks came from outside the door.

"Who?"

Kitagawa Taki remembers that his predecessor was rather withdrawn and didn't have many friends.

He opened the door, and a middle-aged Asian man with long silver hair and a beard barged in. After closing the door, a cold pistol was pressed against his forehead.

This person has a strong aura of malevolence. This aura is accumulated from killing people. The more people you kill, the stronger your aura becomes. Ordinary ghosts and monsters dare not approach you.

The man raised his left index finger in a shushing gesture. He had an injury to his right abdomen, and blood stained his clothes, which made his posture somewhat unnatural.

This was the first time Kitagawa Taki had been pointed at with a gun, both in his past and present lives. He glanced at the silencer on the pistol, but he wasn't flustered.

New York, silver hair, serial killer, injured...

Kitagawa Taki had already figured out who this "highway demon" really was—Vermouth!

Since Vermouth didn't fire immediately, it means he's safe for the time being.
