About Zhan Xian (Immortal Executioner)
Yang Chen, an immortal executioner, is killed and reborn with memories of his future life in the cultivation world. He uses this knowledge to cultivate calmly and methodically, forming genuine relationships rather than rushing to power. Zhan Xian is notable for its focus on refining (alchemy/pill-making) as a cultivation path and for its unusually warm portrayal of relationships.
