Chen Xuan, a young man from a mountain village, receives a family heirloom jade pendant as his grandfather, his only living relative, lies on his deathbed. On the night of the funeral, something strange happens in the old house. A chilling wind howls, the oil lamp turns green, and it seems that evil spirits are whispering. As Chen Xuan struggles to recover from the shock, the bloodstained jade pendant suddenly grows hot.
A cold mechanical voice rings out in his mind:
[Ding! The Mystic Arts Inheritance System has been successfully activated!]
From that moment on, Chen Xuan's ordinary life is changed forever. Armed with the Mystic Arts Inheritance System, which lets him draw prizes, cultivate, appraise treasures, and slay demons, he sets off for the bustling and unfamiliar city of Jiangcheng.
There, he encounters arrogant rich young men who call him a “country bumpkin,” wealthy families plagued by evil spirits with nowhere to turn, antiques concealing spiritual energy, and mysterious forces and ancient martial arts experts hidden in the city.
From mastering the Golden Light Spell to obtaining Foundation-Nourishing Pills; from being scorned and mocked to making unerring predictions and determining the course of events with a single word, Chen Xuan gradually uncovers the secrets behind his inheritance and carves out his own path to greatness amid the torrents of city life.
