In order to protect the heaven, Master Jianglong fought desperately with the big devil, but because the big devil figured out the formation of the Eighteen Arhats, he was unfortunately knocked down to earth. At this time, Li Maochun, who was nearly forty years old and childless, and his wife went to Guoqing Temple to worship Buddha and ask for a son. The statue of Lord Jianglong suddenly collapsed, which seemed to be destined. Soon after, Li's wife became pregnant and gave birth to a son. The child cried when he fell to the ground, and the abbot named him Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan has been extremely intelligent and has a photographic memory since he was a child. Although he was jealous and framed by his classmates when he was studying in a private school, he influenced them with his kind heart. As an adult, Li Xiuyuan's handsome appearance attracted many matchmakers to come to propose marriage. Yuan Li chose Liu Susu, the daughter of his best friend, to make a marriage contract for him. On the wedding day, Li Xiuyuan was struck by lightning and thunder, causing him to instantly regain his past life memories. He had a severe headache and ran away madly.
Li Xiuyuan, who fled to the deep mountains and old forests, asked the Buddha for advice in his predicament, and unexpectedly received two treasures, a gourd and a broken cattail leaf fan. An immortal also guided him to find the relics that could defeat the big devil and save the three realms. After that, Li Xiuyuan devoted himself to practicing in the cave, studying how to use the treasure and making good medicine. Two years later, he went to Guoqing Temple to become a monk. Because his clothes were ragged and covered in dirt, Si Zhonghe could not yet recognize this young master who had been so envied and fawned over in the past. Even after he recognized him, he still harbored resentment because Li Xiuyuan ignored them in the past and was often unruly.
