The Age of Qi Refining in the City

After graduating from a mediocre university, Chen Mo hits rock bottom when his father dies of liver cancer. Burdened with 300,000 yuan in debt and unable to get ahead at work, he can only hide from reality in his rented room by practicing a “fake cultivation” breathing technique. When he unexpectedly activates the All-Purpose System, he uses the medical skills, cultivation methods, and pills he obtains through it to rise from an unlicensed apprentice at a neighborhood clinic to the “Divine Doctor of the City,” a sensation across town. He opens the Mochuntang Clinic to treat difficult and unusual illnesses, and begins to make a name for himself amid clashes between ancient martial arts families and superpowered organizations.

Su Qing, his quiet companion since their days as high school deskmates, becomes a warm source of encouragement. The two gradually transform from sharp-tongued partners who are always bickering into cultivation companions who fight side by side. Su Qing’s hidden identity as the Taiyin Saintess resonates with the Five Elemental Spirit Pearls awakening within Chen Mo, unveiling the mysterious world of ancient martial arts and cultivation behind the modern city. From a bloody battle for blood ginseng on the underground black market to the virus conspiracy of the overseas Blood Hand Society, from an ordinary clinic to secret cultivation realms spanning myriad worlds, Chen Mo rises step by step with the System’s help, only to be swept into the vast vortex of the struggle for the spirit pearls and a crisis threatening the Heavenly Dao.

When breathing techniques collide with the modern city, and System missions meet workplace and business battles, watch as this poor young man, once mocked for his “daydreams of cultivation,” carves out a path to success amid the concrete jungle. With medical skill as his blade and true love as his shield, he has the System’s support and his beloved by his side. In the end, he becomes the “Dao Lord of the City,” spanning myriad worlds, and writes a cultivation legend full of laughter and tears.
