In this steel jungle called "Canghai City", everyone is running for life, and Lin Shuying is no exception. He is an apprentice working in an antique street. He earns a meager salary and endures the harsh treatment of his boss. He lives in a basement without seeing the light of day. His dreams are out of reach and his future is gloomy.
Until that rainy night, he used the last bit of money he had to buy a dilapidated pen washer that no one cared about. His life was completely rewritten the moment his fingertips were stained with blood by the simple brush he had hidden inside.
This magical pen called "All Things Spirit" gave him the extraordinary ability to understand the essence of all things.
The past and present life of a piece of porcelain, from clay to fire, the hundreds of years of memories that flowed in the hands of the kiln workers, were clearly visible to him.
The inner world of a piece of uncut jade, whether it is priceless imperial green or a stubborn stone in the wadding, can only be determined by his thoughts.
The withered growth of vegetation, the growth of fish and insects, and even the weak "qi" flowing in the human body were all transformed into the most intuitive pictures, clearly presented in his mind.
From then on, he appraised treasures, gambled on stones, cured diseases, and practiced medicine... The former diaosi apprentice, with a magic pen, quietly rose up in the world of mortals. While others are still running for money and power, Lin Shuying has begun to explore the deepest secrets of the world - the legends of practitioners hidden under the shadow of neon lights that have lasted for thousands of years.
The world of mortals refines the mind, and the writing illuminates the spirit. When the curtain of the bustling city was lifted, a magnificent world of cultivating immortals was slowly unfolding towards him.
