After the death of his grandfather, Ye Chen, heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine and occult arts practitioners, followed his grandfather’s final instructions and traveled to Linyuan City to inherit four secret arts: medicine, physiognomy, feng shui, and spirit control. Starting out by setting up a street stall to offer consultations, he used his remarkable skills to solve one baffling case after another. He clashed repeatedly with three major occult factions, the Tianji Pavilion, the Nine Nether Palace, and the Metaphysics Association, foiled the Blood Spirit Society’s first scheme, and founded the Xuanyin Company to establish a foothold.
After that, Ye Chen took on all kinds of mysterious commissions, honed his arts, and trained disciples, while secretly investigating clues and gradually uncovering the Blood Spirit Society’s ultimate conspiracy: to use the Mirage Pearl to create illusions and plunge the world into chaos.
