The Dual Cultivation Tale of Xu Xian and the White Snake

Xu Xian starts out as a frail, timid weakling, but later makes a stunning comeback and beats Fahai to a pulp.

The White Snake is devoted to cultivation at first, but can never attain true enlightenment. After meeting Xu Xian, she initially treats him as a bit of fun, but is eventually moved by his sincere affection.

The two endure trial after trial, unrecognized by the immortals. In the end, they forge their own path, cultivate together, and greatly increase their magical powers, ultimately finding carefree bliss in the immortal realm.
