Born into a wealthy family yet dismissed as a good-for-nothing, Lin Yun is mocked time and again for his poor cultivation talent. By chance, he rescues an injured qilin in a forbidden land and forms a pact with it, beginning his journey to rise above his lot.
With the qilin's power, Lin Yun improves his cultivation. After showing the first signs of his talent, he draws attention from within and beyond his family. Through family competitions, dangerous excursions, and countless other trials, he steadily grows, makes friends, and faces crises. Later, to uncover the conspiracy behind his family's decline and learn the truth of the qilin's origins and the secrets of heaven and earth, he explores ancient ruins and perilous lands, clashes repeatedly with a mysterious organization, and joins forces with the Qingfeng Sect, the lord of Cloudmist Mountain City, and other powers. Overcoming one obstacle after another, he seizes opportunities and grows stronger, advancing step by step toward the truth, saving his family, and protecting the cultivation world.
