Jiang Shangyue has lived for 107 years.
For a hundred of them, she was stuck at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
It wasn’t for lack of effort. She tried everything: changing cultivation methods, swallowing pills, soaking in spirit springs, searching for spiritual veins. Nothing worked.
Her dantian was like a bottomless pit. She’d spent a hundred years filling it, but hadn’t even heard a sound.
But she never gave up.
Over those hundred years, she learned alchemy, mastered swordsmanship, and learned how to survive in the lawless lands.
A hundred years later, she meets a genius whose throat is likewise held in fate’s grip.
He needs her to save his life.
She needs the key to his secret realm to break through her bottleneck.
Each with their own agenda, they enter the same secret realm.
What he doesn’t know is that everyone she has ever saved has died in the end.
What she doesn’t know is that this time, things will turn out differently.
