The protagonist was adopted by a wealthy merchant family in the small town of Taiping, in Pingzhou, southern Jin State. More than once, he secretly took an unknown ancient bronze cauldron from his home, given to him by his biological father, whom he had never met, and used it to hold fish bait. For some reason, bait placed inside the cauldron became incredibly fragrant, helping him catch a whole basket of fish every time he went to the river outside town. One day, when he returned from another fishing trip, he discovered that the entire merchant family had been slaughtered. Overwhelmed with grief, he vowed to take revenge. Later, he heard that the Skyfire Sect was recruiting disciples. Thanks to his superior-grade fire spiritual root, which was actually an ultimate-grade fire spiritual root, he was accepted and assigned to the alchemy hall. But the Great Elder, the sect’s most mysterious old man, recognized Zhang Huan’s talent and decided to teach him personally. Taking his ancient cauldron with him, Zhang Huan began his path to immortality.
