Lin Xunchen, an antique restorer struggling at the bottom of the bustling city "Jinghai", is overwhelmed by the high rent and his sister's heavy medical expenses. He thought his life would end sadly in endless dust and debt.
However, an accident occurred, and when the blood from his fingertips fell on a broken ancient inkstone of unknown origin, his dusty wheel of fate began to turn quietly.
From then on, the world became completely different in his eyes. The dusty old things are no longer dead. They exude a thick or light halo, telling the story of thousands of years of vicissitudes. A broken pottery figurine may contain the fighting spirit of an ancient general; a yellowed ancient painting may contain the awe-inspiring righteousness of a generation of great scholars; an inconspicuous jade pendant may be a token left behind by a certain cultivating sect...
He obtained a pair of "spiritual eyes" that could see through the aura of all things.
By restoring ancient relics, he can not only earn wealth, but also absorb the "marks of time" accumulated in them, turn them into his own use, and embark on an untravelled road to urban immortality.
From the smoky antique market to the inaccessible secret ruins; from solving the sister's illness to fighting against the various forces hidden in the shadows of the city that covet spiritual objects. Lin Xunchen's life is destined to be in the mortal world, to know all the rare treasures in the world, and to find his own path to heaven.
