Immortal cultivator Ye Shi failed in the tribulation and his soul traveled across the city, becoming an abandoned son of the Ye family in Jiangzhou City. As soon as he woke up, the Zhang family broke off their engagement in public, and was denounced by his fiancée as a "poor waste" and expelled from the upper class. As the inheritor of the Nine-Yang Immortal Lord, he had no intention of getting entangled. He turned around and saved the ancestors and grandsons of the Cheng family who were being hunted by evil forces. With his ability to cultivate immortals, he shocked Xiaoxiao. He was treated as a guest of the Cheng family and gained the first fulcrum to establish a foothold in the city.
In Chapter 1-50, "Ye Shi's Rise," Ye Shi discovered that the Cheng family was being blackmailed by the local gang "Gongjinhui", with the Pan family's powerful people acting as protection behind it. He broke into the gang headquarters alone, brought down twenty killers by one person, resisted shotgun attacks, subdued the leader Wang Hu, reorganized the gang into the "Tongxinhui", and implemented measures such as returning stolen goods and disclosing accounts to win over people. Later, he held evidence of the collusion between the Pan and Zhang families. While rectifying his forces to help merchants, he was investigating the old case of his parents' "accidental death". He also overturned the suppression of the two major families at the Zhang family's birthday party, gradually taking control of Jiangzhou's underground and commercial territory, and firmly established himself.
