Under the Green Mountain Gate

Li Chang'an, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, has average talent and mediocre cultivation. His greatest skill is being a jack-of-all-trades. He teaches newcomers obscure little spells, helps test medicines in the pill workshop, and runs errands for his fellow disciples. He's more popular than his cultivation level would suggest. Then a plea for help summons him to Qinghe City. There stands a refining array, a demon close to the Golden Core stage, and a city full of ordinary people who refuse to accept their fate. And tucked in his arms is a forbidden art his master never got to use in a lifetime.
