That winter, Li Qiu was fourteen years old and the most inconspicuous boy in Hansuo County. The school bully pushed me to the edge of the mop pool and soaked my textbooks, so I didn't dare to fight back. When I came home, I saw my father handing the noodle shop's earnings for the day to the gangster with both hands and still smiling apologetically. There is only one word in his life dictionary - tolerance.
Until he helped a ninety-year-old janitor who fell in the snow next to the school coal shed.
The whole school is avoiding this strange old man. His name is Qi Zhenshan, his ancestors have produced three martial arts champions, and he participated in the first national martial arts competition. He took out a piece of ancient jade passed down from his ancestors and said: If you come here to move coal and clear snow every day, this jade will be yours after you move it for a hundred days.
That piece of jade is engraved with the ancient "Taiyi Qi-Inducing Technique" - in the modern world where spiritual energy is exhausted, it can allow people to re-introduce Qi into the body and open all the meridians. Li Qiu moved coal for a hundred days and stood on piles for a hundred days. On the cold night when I got the jade, my Dantian felt warm for the first time.
From that day on, a soft persimmon that had been trampled flat began to grow its own roots from the bones.
From practicing Qi to condensing Dantian, from standing to refining soul, Li Qiu only spent one spring. He was still waiting - waiting for the warrior who had practiced foreign martial arts all his life to push open the door from Changde City and enter Hansuo. The truth about the depletion of spiritual energy, the other half of the ancient jade that has wandered into the world, and the secret that his surname Liqiu has hidden for hundreds of years are all still outside the coal shed door that has not been pushed open.
From cowardice to standing up, from forbearance to fighting back. This is the story of a young man who was stripped of all his dignity and took it back inch by inch...
