In this Dharma-ending era where spiritual energy is thin and orthodoxy is cut off, Chen Zhongyi, a former genius disciple of the Qingyun Sect, wakes up from a hundred-year slumber. The world has been turned upside down, high-rise buildings have replaced the fairy caves, and the mobile phone network has covered the sound transmission jade talisman. He originally wanted to hide in the city and rebuild in a low-key manner, but because of renting a cheap apartment, he met Wen Huiling, a seemingly ordinary urban white-collar worker.
What Chen Zhongyi doesn't know is that Wen Huiling possesses the long-extinct "Xuanyin Body", which is the treasure secretly sought by the contemporary world of cultivation. What made him even more unexpected was that his neighbor was actually a cultivator who hid his cultivation under the rules of the city. When the ancient cause and effect collided with the rules of the city, two "alien" people each carrying secrets were forced to join hands to explore a unique path to immortality in the steel forest in a series of adventures intertwined with modernity and classics.
