In the Wildlands, the Lu family is wiped out overnight in Qingyan City. Clutching a bloodstained ancestral jade pendant, young Lu Li is driven by his enemies into the forbidden Immortal-Sinking Valley. Three years ago, he was a good-for-nothing with a useless spiritual root whom anyone could bully. Tonight, he has nowhere left to run.
He accidentally enters the cave dwelling of Cang Xuan, an ancient immortal, and inherits three unique legacies in alchemy, formations, and talismans, along with a treasury full of resources. But despite searching the entire cave, he cannot find a single cultivation manual, technique, or spell.
From then on, outsiders see him as a shabby furnace worker. At the Alchemist Grand Tournament, one batch of ancient pills leaves the whole venue stunned. In a debate on formations, one killing array traps a gifted elite to his death. In a talisman duel, a single talisman sends an old monster flying.
Everyone across the seven continents who looks down on practitioners of the three arts is trampled into the dirt by him, one by one.
But no one knows that all he wanted at first was to find the person who massacred his entire family.
