Not even the heavens will know what fate has in store for Langley as he systematically unravels not only how to cultivate, but also various crafts such as refining pills and inscribing talismans.

What happens when a new Keeper recruit inadvertently eliminates not only the other recruits, but all of the teachers, as well? At first, when Bax suddenly found himself transported from Earth to an organization of powerful, universe-spanning races, he was thoroughly confused.
