This is the story of Yi Feng, a cultivator who, after two thousand years of trials in the cultivation world, is unexpectedly sent back to the mortal realm and returns to Earth. Yi Feng was once an ordinary university student who, through a stroke of fate, entered the cultivation world. He passed through the stages of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Violet Mansion, and Golden Core, eventually forming a Nascent Soul and becoming a powerful cultivator. However, during a tribulation, he was ambushed by a mysterious expert, grievously wounded, and forced to return to Earth.
Upon returning to Earth, Yi Feng discovers that only two months have passed, but his cultivation has greatly diminished, and both his spirit and physical body have been badly damaged. To recover his strength, he decides to live on Earth for a while and search for a way to heal his injuries. But spiritual energy is scarce on Earth, and cultivation resources are in short supply, so Yi Feng must face all kinds of challenges in the mundane world.
Yi Feng lodges at Gao Yan's home. Gao Yan is the daughter of a close friend of Yi Feng's mother. Spoiled and willful, she is deeply displeased by his arrival and repeatedly tries to drive him out. However, thanks to his formidable strength and cool head, Yi Feng foils Gao Yan's schemes time and again, gradually revealing in everyday life the extraordinary abilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator of immense age and experience.
As he spends time with Gao Yan, Yan Min, and the others, Yi Feng gradually adjusts to modern life, but he never loses sight of his goal: to restore his cultivation and return to the cultivation world. Meanwhile, he encounters all kinds of challenges on Earth, including clashes with street thugs, bouts of wits with Gao Yan, and the entanglements of mortal emotions.
