The Tale of the Mystic Healer Swordsman

On the night blood stained the wedding hall, his fiancée gouged out his spiritual root to curry favor with the powerful.

As he lay on the brink of death, the lingering soul of an ancient evil physician burst out of a coffin: "Boy, would you trade your life to turn the world upside down?"

When Shen Yan opened his eyes, a Life-and-Death Talisman had already formed in his palm.

He enters the Northern Garrison General's residence as an outcast from Qingyun, but his spirit eyes see through the bizarre icy poison afflicting the unruly Princess Su Chi. Deep within her frost bloodline lies a Dragon-Mark Seal, lost to the Xuanling Continent for a hundred years.

When the evil physician's secret arts expose a conspiracy in the imperial palace, and his spirit eyes see through living puppets, the sound of chains snapping echoes from deep within the general's dungeon.

Rolling a bloodstained silver needle between his fingers, Shen Yan sneers: "Cure the icy poison?"

"Why not start by curing this world that devours people?"
