The Saintly One’s Rise to Power

A frail willow by the cold stream, its bare bones still remain; Though frost has battered it time and again, its roots have not sunk.

His soul broke on a barren hill, blood and tears congealing; His spirit returned to the Purple Palace, where he grasped the mystic needle.

A silver needle dipped in dew heals a thousand ravines; An iron palm riding the wind subdues the Nine Yin.

Say not that a benevolent heart bears no swords or spears; Wherever the green blade passes, the music of spring follows.

In his previous life, he endured endless humiliation and died with hatred in his heart. Now he returns to his youth, carrying the legacy of an ancient sage of medicine and martial arts.

With the Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Needle in his left hand, he can snatch lives from the King of Hell; with the Great Evolution Star Art in his right, he can summon the might of the stars. In this life, he is a miracle-working physician who saves the world and a supreme martial artist who has reached the divine.

From a remote border town to the turbulent capital, he tramples his enemies beneath his feet, establishes the Hall of Benevolence to protect the weak, and roots out the world's evils. Ling Jianchen seeks more than revenge. With his fists and silver needles, he upholds justice in the mortal world, vowing to turn this hunting ground ruled by the powerful into a home for all.
