Li Jian, a country boy with dreams of becoming an immortal cultivator, meets Jia Banxian at the village entrance. Talked into embarking on the path of cultivation, he is swindled out of his money and forced to do hard labor. Once Li Jian realizes he has been duped, he parts ways with Jia Banxian. While striking out on his own, he accidentally finds his way into the Qingyun Sect.
New to the immortal sect, Li Jian’s mischievous nature leads to one mishap after another during training, causing plenty of laughs. Yet his resolve to cultivate never wavers. At the sect, he befriends Da Niu, Ling’er, Xiao Fei, and others, and together they share both joy and hardship.
By chance, Li Jian discovers a mysterious jade pendant treasure in the Treasure Pavilion. But he neglects his cultivation while studying it, earning criticism and ridicule. With an elder’s guidance, he finds a balance, and his cultivation advances by leaps and bounds.
Later, Li Jian and his friends venture out to gain experience, only to encounter a powerful demon beast. They join forces in a desperate battle, and at a critical moment, Li Jian awakens the treasure’s power and drives the beast away.
During the sect tournament, Li Jian relies on his own abilities and his treasure to defeat one opponent after another, making a name for himself. But his success also earns him the envy and sabotage of disciples from other sects.
Facing one challenge after another, Li Jian and his friends stand together. Through constant trials, his cultivation and state of mind improve tremendously. In the end, he becomes a legendary immortal cultivator, protecting his sect and bringing peace to the world.
