Between Beast And Buddha: A Drunken Monkey's Journey to Immortality

Orange-Crest is a monkey who enjoys lazy days and foraging with his troop, though his true passion lies in the mysteries of fermentation. His latest experimental brew proves stronger than expected, leaving him stumbling through Mount Yuelu in a drunken haze. Daoist Scouring Medicine is a disgraced alchemist, his ideals crushed by the greed of powerful families. After a noble disciple ruins himself with one of his pills, the daoist drowns his fury in wine on the mountain’s slopes, railing against heaven and man alike. When their intoxicated paths collide, an unlikely bond forms—one that will drag them into a world of cultivation sects, vengeful nobles, and the pursuit of immortality. A monkey’s curiosity and a fallen alchemist’s defiance may either elevate them to greatness or doom them both.
