With spiritual qi running dry across the globe, top financial powers secretly plot to open the gates of Fengdu in their quest for immortality, hoping to sacrifice billions of lives in exchange for a spiritual qi revival! A catastrophe is about to engulf the world.
The mysterious old Taoist Li Guiyuan “tricks” Ning Que into joining Qingfeng Temple, where he is forced to become an apprentice. After three years of grueling cultivation, he advances from Nascent Soul straight to Spirit Severing!
On one side is the bustling mortal world, and his tangled relationship with Cao Xuan, the daughter of the province’s richest man. On the other is the heavy responsibility of the mystic sects.
Evil cultivators backed by financial powers are watching hungrily, and the gates of the underworld are about to open.
Can Ning Que, the “jinx” of a bartender, remain true to himself in a materialistic city, use his “fierce” cultivation to stop a world-ending plot, and protect the everyday lives of ordinary people?
Ning Que, a bar server, casually “picked up” a pretty, drunken girl and took her home.
Little did he know that the girl he picked up was none other than Cao Xuan, the only daughter of the richest man in the province!
When Cao Xuan dragged him off to meet her parents, her future father-in-law, Cao Dexiang, slapped down ten million yuan. “Leave my daughter!”
Ning Que tore up the check on the spot. “Our love is real!”
The poor boy’s boldness made the richest man narrow his eyes. “You’ve got guts, kid!”
Li Guiyuan said, “Before an incense stick burns down, you’ll come crawling and beg me to take you as my apprentice!”
Ning Que was stunned. “Me? Become your apprentice? In your dreams!”
