Lin Zhou, a 26-year-old programmer in Shanghai, struggles in the wave of 996 overtime work every day, and a sub-healthy body has long been the norm. Until late one night, he fainted on the street due to hypoglycemia. The old jade pendant left by his grandfather suddenly became hot, and the "Qingyun Jue", the ancient inheritance of immortality, flooded into his consciousness like a tide - his ordinary life has been rewritten since then.
The strengthened physical strength during the Qi refining period allowed him to easily carry express delivery; the basic mind-clearing skills unexpectedly alleviated the strange illness of a neighbor's child; but when he bumped into a man in black who could "retrieve objects from the air" in an alley late at night, he was shocked to realize that there was a hidden world of immortality hidden under the neon-lit city.
While he was using his ability to cultivate immortals to cope with life: he relied on the golden needle to transfer energy to delay his mother's longevity, and he used the object control technique to expose the enchantment scam of the "investment master"; at the same time, he was forced to get involved in disputes - the evil "Anluo Society" coveted his inheritance, and the secluded immortal cultivators warned him to "destroy the balance."
In a city with thin spiritual energy, he has to search for cultivation resources among office buildings and ancient temples, use surveillance and codes to cover up traces of cultivation, and also uncover the truth behind his grandfather's disappearance. When the rules of modern society collide with the laws of immortality, Lin Zhou is no longer the forbearing programmer, but wants to become an urban immortal who protects ordinary people under the neon lights.
