In the bustling city, skyscrapers towered overhead and traffic streamed through the streets. People hurried through the steel forest, chasing their own dreams and desires. Yet in this seemingly ordinary world, an unknown secret lay hidden: the existence of cultivators.
The story's protagonist, Lin Yi, was an ordinary office worker who spent each day repeating the same dull tasks, living a life of quiet monotony. Gentle and kindhearted, he nevertheless harbored a deep longing for the unknown world. Then, by chance, Lin Yi came across what seemed to be an ordinary jade pendant at an antique market. In truth, it was a magical artifact left behind by an ancient cultivator, containing supreme immortal arts.
That night, as moonlight poured like water and Lin Yi turned the pendant over in his hands at home, a sudden burst of light illuminated the entire room. A warm, mysterious force flowed into his body, and he felt his consciousness drawn into a wondrous space. There he met the pendant's former owner, a white-haired elder with an air of immortal grace who called himself Yun Youzi.
Yun Youzi told Lin Yi that he had once been a powerful cultivator. After being ambushed, his body had perished, and his soul had taken refuge inside the pendant as he waited for someone destined to inherit his legacy. Moved by Lin Yi's kindness and resilience, Yun Youzi decided to pass on everything he had learned and set him on the path of cultivation.
