Chen Shen is the worst menial disciple in Qingyun Sect. His spiritual root is so useless that even the spirit-testing stone can't be bothered to light up.
He is sent to guard the Scripture Pavilion, and everyone treats him like an invisible nobody.
Until he discovers that he can reach enlightenment just by reading a cultivation manual once, and improve a pill recipe after reading it a single time.
The sect's lost secret arts? He casually picked them up from a pile of scrap paper.
The legacy of an ancient sword tomb? His heaven-defying comprehension lets him master it without a teacher.
A senior brother from the alchemy room tries to set him up? He turns around and uses the pills the man gave him to refine a peerless poison.
When the sect's greatest enemy bears down and all the experts have fallen, the guardian everyone overlooked slowly raises his head.
"So this is what you call... a good-for-nothing?"
