Ying Zixian transmigrates to the Qin Dynasty and presents the “Rebirth Gu,” curing the First Emperor's wounds and illness and earning the title of Marquis of Chang'an. At court, he refutes Fusu's talk of benevolence and righteousness, explaining that “immortality comes at a price,” and gets Fusu sent to guard the frontier. He rebuffs the Yin-Yang School's attempts to recruit him and ignores the hostility of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, devoting himself to cultivating Gu with his System as he pursues immortality and the legendary Seven Lodges of the Azure Dragon.
