Qing Yu was the only son of a family of medical cultivators in Qingshuang City. On the night his family was destroyed, his parents passed on the spiritual energy in his dantian and qi sea to him before dying horribly.
At ten years old, he fled alone with an unhatched Teng Snake egg, hiding in the medicine storeroom of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion and narrowly escaping capture by the Demon Suppression Bureau.
In a chaotic age, spiritual qi was scarce and cultivation was difficult. His medical skills could not guarantee his survival, while his enemies had already risen to positions of power.
By chance, he gained the Azurewood Body of the Azure Firmament, awakening a wood-type spiritual root that let him wield “Azurewood Vitality” to heal wounds, temper his body, and nurture spiritual herbs.
He could shape wood qi into needles, swords, and cages. When refining pills, he could channel azure flames into the furnace to double their potency, and even transform poisons into spiritual energy.
While others struggled to cultivate from scraps of ancient techniques, he used his innate constitution to turn the tables against all odds. He excelled at everything from condensing qi and refining pills to fighting puppets and breaking formations.
From an odd-job worker in Blackstone City to a game-changer in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, he entered the Dao through medicine, grew stronger through battle, and climbed step by step toward the heavens.
When his enemies seized the Demon Bone and sought to recreate the calamity of a thousand years ago, he held the star compass, awakened the spiritual source, and reversed the spiritual ashes.
In the end, his Dao heart would be like wood, eternally flourishing, and he would usher in a new golden age of cultivation.
