Chen Ping, a poor young man from Yunluo Village, has been dependent on his mother who has been suffering from cough since childhood. He makes a living by collecting medicines. He lives in poverty but hides his unyielding resilience. By chance, he was bullied by Zhao Feng, a disciple of Xuan Qing Guan, because of his bamboo basket. Chu Ling'er, a disciple of Qing Leng Chuchen, came to rescue him. He was even unexpectedly invited to participate in the apprenticeship trial of Xuan Qing Guan.
Chen Ping, who thought he had no chance of cultivating immortals, unexpectedly detected low-grade wood spiritual roots and entered Xuanqing Temple and became an outer disciple. He holds the "Qi Refining Technique" in his hand and explores the path to immortality as a mortal. He not only has to deal with the harsh test of "being expelled from the master if he fails to reach the first level of Qi Refining within three months", but he also has to carve out a way out with mediocre qualifications in a sect full of talents.
Chu Ling'er, with her impressive cultivation and mysterious past, noticed Chen Ping's character of being neither humble nor arrogant even though he was in a difficult situation when they first met, and she secretly paid close attention to him. The fate of the two people is intertwined due to this fairy fate. From the first encounter with Xuan Qing Guan in Yunluo Village, they will face the challenges of refining Qi, building foundations, forming pills, and Nascent Soul together. They will resist the invasion of monsters and beasts, dismantle sect disputes, and write a legend about persistence, growth, and bonding in the magnificent world of immortal cultivation.
This is the story of an ordinary boy who defies heaven and changes his destiny. It is also a journey on the path to immortality, where the character of mortals and the morality of immortals collide with each other and achieve each other's achievements.
