Lin Yan is an outer sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Five years after joining, he is still at the third level of Qi Refining, a good-for-nothing in everyone’s eyes. No one knows what he’s waiting for: an opportunity to turn things around, even if he has to snatch it from atop someone else’s corpse.
When an inner sect elder begins refining pills in public, when an urgent order from the sect leader throws everything into disarray, and when the undercurrents within the sect finally split the surface wide open, the chance Lin Yan has waited five years and nine months for finally arrives.
No one will pay attention to a good-for-nothing at the third level of Qi Refining. No one knows he never intended to be a pawn in the first place.
