Ye Fan, a modern chemistry researcher, accidentally transmigrates to a cultivation world when an experiment explodes. After falling off a cliff, he happens upon Ling Qingxue, a Saintess of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, who is poisoned and in a miserable state.
An ordinary man with no spiritual roots, he uses his modern knowledge of chemistry to cure immortal poison with ordinary herbs and save this Nascent Soul powerhouse. Their chance encounter beneath Qingming Cliff not only rescues Ye Fan from the desperate situation he faced upon arriving in this strange world, but also unexpectedly draws him into a struggle over a supreme treasure and the feuds between cultivation sects.
With Black Fiend Sect pursuers closing in and a soul-devouring poison that must be eradicated, how can Ye Fan, who has no spiritual roots, survive in a world where spiritual power rules all?
When modern science collides with ancient cultivation, what path will an ordinary man forge to defy fate and ascend to the heavens?
