In the vast Lingxu Continent, the aura between heaven and earth is mysterious and fantastic. There are many sects here, each showing their magical abilities, such as the Lingxiao Sword Sect, which dominates with swordsmanship, the Baicao Valley, which is good at alchemy, and the Tianji Pavilion, which is proficient in the art of talismans. They shine brightly on this continent. However, deep in the continent, demonic forces are like dormant poisonous snakes, causing bloody storms from time to time in an attempt to break this balance. At the same time, ancient secret realms and ancient ruins are hidden throughout the continent, where opportunities and dangers coexist, attracting countless immortal cultivators to take risks.
The protagonist of the story, Lin Yuan, was born in a remote mountain village. He was born with six imperfections and was judged to have no chance of cultivating immortality. But he is resolute by nature, with kindness and justice in his heart. While collecting medicine in the mountains, Lin Yuan rescued a mysterious old man who was being hunted. The old man gave him a mysterious jade pendant before his death. After returning to the village, the jade pendant awakened, containing the inherited skills of ancient immortal cultivators, and also had the magical ability to accelerate the growth of herbs. Lin Yuan practiced secretly and used jade pendants to cultivate precious herbs to improve the lives of villagers. However, this also aroused the covetousness of nearby immortal cultivating families.
In order to escape family persecution, Lin Yuan embarked on the road to the Immortal Cultivation Sect. On the way, he met the girl Su Yao and the boy Chen Mo, and the three of them traveled together. After many tests, Lin Yuan successfully joined the Lingxiao Sword Sect with the help of his tenacity and jade pendant.
After joining the sect, Lin Yuan was despised due to his humble background, but he shined in the entrance examination.
