   Li Muchen, a disciple of the Kunlun Immortal, descends the mountain, dressed in coarse linen clothes yet refusing to become a son-in-law of a wealthy family. He immediately demands the annulment of his engagement, only to be met with disdain and contempt from his prospective mother-in-law. He knows no martial arts, but he can use his divine sense to "open his third eye," see through feng shui formations, cure hidden ailments with elixirs, and subdue a Japanese ninja with a single kick. While others still judge him by his wealth, this unassuming immortal has already quietly stirred up a storm in the mortal world—this journey down the mountain is not just the beginning of the annulment; forging his own legend is the true purpose!
