The Youqin Clan has held sway over the Central Province Continent. According to historical records, the clan has existed since the continent first took shape, and its members have produced one outstanding talent after another for generations. It has always dominated the Way of the Pill, and attaining sagehood or immortality was said to be within easy reach.
But those are only legends. The true main line of the Youqin Clan consists of just one branch, and only its members can become sages or immortals. For everyone else in the clan, the greatest rewards they can hope for in a lifetime are fame, wealth, status, and a lifespan that seems endless.
Such long lives have allowed some to advance further in the Way of the Pill. Others have ended their lives prematurely, while still others have gone mad and been imprisoned in the clan's lightless mountain of criminals.
Youqin Nian was the most outstanding genius in the clan's history and the heir apparent to become its next head. Her peerless talent earned her boundless affection and endless attention.
Sadly, in the end, it all came to ruin...
