Kong Yiji: The Immortal of Tianmen

In the final years of the Great Shun dynasty, all trades have become conduits to the divine. In the bustling crossroads of Tianmen, a city linking nine provinces, there stands one man unlike any other—the only one who wears a scholar's long robe while drinking his wine standing up, and the sole craftsman who, while others hone their earthly skills, deludes himself into seeking immortality. Kong Yiji's response to the mockery? So what if he is not of this world? So what if he possesses a Profession Panel that lets him master any skill through sheer repetition? Years later, when Kong Yiji stands before a crowd kneeling at his feet, he clasps his hands behind his back and declares: "Yes, your techniques are impressive—but sadly, you cultivated craftsmanship, mere mortal prowess. I cultivated immortality."
