Fang Ling's spiritual root was destroyed when he was young, making him a disgrace to his family. Through a twist of fate, he joined the foremost cultivation sect of the time as an outer disciple.
As an outer disciple, Fang Ling is under immense pressure. If he can't restore his spiritual root within a year, he'll be expelled from the sect. Being kicked out isn't the real problem. The real trouble is that he made a bet with a drunkard: if he gets expelled, he'll owe the man countless spirit stones and fine wine. Since he can't afford to pay, Fang Ling has no choice but to train hard and make sure he doesn't lose the bet.
