After Chen Li failed to introduce air into his body for the ninety-ninth time, blood lines oozed from his seven orifices. The deacon of the Immortal Sect announced that his meridians were like a sieve and he would never have access to the great road. He was thrown into the abandoned evil spirit mine to fend for himself. The depths of the mine are filled with bone-corrosive poison, and all monks avoid it. Chen Li discovered that every time the evil spirit eroded through his meridians, extremely weak spiritual dust would remain. He endured the pain of being eaten by thousands of ants and spent five years collecting spiritual dust. When a ray of spiritual power finally condensed, the mine collapsed. He used this spiritual power to protect his heart and became the only living person to crawl out of hell. The Immortal Sect was furious: "How can there be spiritual power fluctuations in the evil pit? It must be a demonic spy!"
