His younger sister, the only family he has, is at death’s door, the cold poison in her lungs. He kneels before his entire clan, begging for a single life-saving herb, but his cousin kicks him to the ground and throws him into a frigid iron mine filled with countless bones, leaving him to die.
At the brink of death, a bone shard passed down through his family suddenly awakens inside him. From then on, the yin energy, baleful qi, and metallic energy that others fear become potent medicine for opening his apertures and refining his spirit!
After three years in the mine, he rises from a lowly slave to the only inheritor of the Spirit-Refining Path in this world.
