Looking at the relatively new "Secret Records of the Golden Vase," Qi Yuan's expression gradually turned strange as a piece of embarrassing black history surfaced in his mind.

Because the author of this book, "Laughing Scholar," was actually his own pen name!

At that time, he had just crossed over and was in a dire state of poverty. To make a living, he decided to become a plagiarist. To ensure it became an instant hit, he specifically chose a timeless classic from his previous life...

A classic is indeed a classic. As soon as "Secret Records of the Golden Vase" was published, it became immensely popular, earning him a hefty sum of spirit stones, enough to cover his journey to the Supreme Profound Sacred Land to seek immortality and enlightenment.
