So what if he has a mixed Five Elements spirit root? So what if he is a menial disciple of the Qingyun Sect? Zhang Fan happens upon the Origin Ring, whose ink patterns gather spiritual energy and refine all things. From then on, this good-for-nothing makes a comeback and embarks on a decisive path to immortality.
He keeps a low profile in the menial disciples' quarters, making a name for himself in Qingyang City as the alchemist known as Mo. He refines top-grade pills, amasses mountains of spirit stones, and quietly sharpens his sword. Then he establishes his authority in the Qingyun Sect, defeats enemies above his level, and tears apart those who oppress him. From a good-for-nothing at everyone's mercy, he becomes a peerless sect prodigy who breaks through six levels with a single sword, growing sharper with every step.
The Blood Crow Sect hunts him down, undercurrents stir within the Qingyun Sect, and the Origin Ring's secret draws covetous eyes. The storms of the cultivation world come crashing down around him. He makes his way under two identities, building influence with one hand through alchemy and protecting himself with the sword in the other. He kills gods and demons alike, rising from humble beginnings and pressing onward through deadly peril.
When the ink patterns shine across the world and the Origin returns to its source, the former menial disciple will point his sword at the highest heavens and make the entire cultivation world bow in submission!
