Behind the bustling city lies an unknown world of fantasy, where the story of Hidden Hermit Immortals begins.
Cui Wenyi is an unremarkable third-year college student, living a simple, ordinary life. But the wheels of fate begin to turn wildly without warning. His mother’s serious illness weighs on him like a boulder, plunging his world into darkness and despair. To raise the astronomical sum needed for her medical bills, he endures nearly every kind of hardship and suffering.
But who could have guessed that an apparently absurd attempt to stage an accident would become the turning point in his fate? The red sports car was like a streak of fire. It not only shattered his ordinary life, but unexpectedly set him on a legendary journey into a world of fantasy. After the collision, Cui Wenyi gains the mysterious inheritance of the Ancient Medicine Sect.
In this mysterious world, the forces at play are tangled together like a vast, invisible web, and every node conceals unknown dangers and opportunities. Cultivators possess immense power. Some are good, others evil, and together they shape the shifting fortunes of this world. The most terrifying among them are the evil cultivators. They do as they please, abusing their power to commit all manner of crimes; to them, robbing and murdering people is just another day’s work. Their wicked deeds have shrouded the whole world in a pall of fear.
But Cui Wenyi is not swallowed by the darkness. Instead, thanks to the inheritance of the Ancient Medicine Sect, he gradually makes his mark in this world. He begins to study medicine, and the ancient, mysterious principles and techniques seem to come alive anew in his hands.
