In the modern world, spiritual energy has been exhausted for more than a thousand years. There are only thin strands of spiritual energy left in the world, scattered in hidden places in famous mountains and rivers. It is far from enough to support the monks' efforts. The cultivation system has long since declined. The once-prominent cultivating families in the past were either cut off by their spiritual energy or their bloodline was diluted by the hustle and bustle of the world, and were eventually lost in the current of the world. Only a few ancient monks who had seen through the current situation lived in seclusion in the mountains and valleys with their remaining Taoist traditions, guarding their ancestral spiritual veins and incomplete skills, struggling to maintain the fire of cultivation. However, most of their bloodlines had withered, and it was difficult to return to their former glory.
Yunwu Mountain in the southwest is one of these few hidden places. There is a century-old small temple "Qingxu Temple" hidden in the mountain. The temple is small, remote and isolated from the world. There is only one monk, Taoist Master Songfeng, who lives his life guarding the Taoist temple and the faint spiritual breath in the mountain. Lu Ye was an orphan picked up by Taoist Master Shofeng when he was traveling in the world twenty years ago. At that time, the baby was dying. Seeing that the bones had a spiritual charm, the Taoist priest brought him back to the temple to raise him and named him "Lu Ye", which means that the mountains and fields are abiding by the Taoism and not stained by the worldly customs.
