The Dry Water Sutra: Immortal Miner

Twelve-year-old Xiao Lin thought his life was over when famine forced him to trade his freedom for a few steamed buns, sold into a hellish mining camp.

Amidst the red ore, he unearths the ancient 'Dry Water Sutra' – a forgotten cultivation method that ignites a flicker of hope for immortality.
