Li Buyan, a young man who was born with a terminal illness and was abandoned by his family in a Taoist temple, accidentally found half of the "Hunyuan Alchemy Sutra" in a dilapidated alchemy room, and embarked on the path of spiritual practice based on the heaven-defying concept of "the mortal world is the furnace, love and hatred are the fuel". He built a foundation to survive, returned to the modern city, solved the murderous situation in the business world with his alchemy wisdom, and used his thunderous means to frighten powerful enemies in the black market. Fate led him to meet Leng Ning, the master of Tingchao Pavilion who was carrying the Jiuyin Guishui body. The two Lihuo Xuanyin were inseparable and incompatible with each other, and they had a deep love for each other in life and death.
When Leng Ning broke the golden elixir to protect him, Li Buyan understood the true meaning of the scriptures in pain, and he did not hesitate to damage his Taoist foundation, and used love silk as medicine to reverse life and death. In order to save his beloved, he joined hands with Leng Ning to break into the Kunlun secret realm, and accidentally triggered the inheritance of the ancient moon god Wangshu. The condensation and fusion of Taiyin True Water first formed the Xuanming Taoist body. Li Buyan also understood the beauty of the five elements' interdependence while guarding him, and the Golden Elixir Tao became increasingly sophisticated.
However, before the turmoil was over, Yuxu Palace's Nascent Soul Master came to investigate in person, Shushan and Jixia Academy appeared one after another, and the game between the three major sects involved the two in a bigger whirlpool. With the supreme heritage and the secret of the Alchemy Book, Li Buyan could only use love as a guide and calamity as a fire in this modern mortal world where the iron jungle and ancient Taoism are intertwined to refine the Hunyuan Golden Elixir Road that transcends the shackles of the scriptures and is unique to him. This heaven-defying road is not only a spiritual legend that transcends life and death, but also an unforgettable love disaster in the world of mortals.
