The Demon Realm's venerable master, Bai Yunshang, had both legs crippled and was trapped on Lingxue Mountain for tens of thousands of years. His closed-door disciple, Jian Fu, lay low for thousands of years, finally waiting for the chance to kill him.
On the night of the full moon, Bai Yunshang's qi and blood ran counter to their natural course, leaving him at his weakest. Jian Fu took up a sword, ready to assassinate the Demon Venerable and uphold justice on Heaven's behalf.
The iron sword struck, but spiritual power rebounded. Jian Fu failed to kill him and instead had his soul obliterated.
Even as he died, Jian Fu never knew it had all been a trap set by that fiend.
The fiend took over his body, sowed chaos across the Demon, Monster, and Immortal Realms, and was eventually destroyed by their joint forces.

Jian Fu, a traditional Chinese medicine physician skilled in acupuncture, tuina, and massage, woke up to find himself holding an iron sword and pointing it at a pale, frail-looking man.
The man spoke in a sinister tone. "Jian Fu, kill me, and you can take my power and rule the Demon Realm. Go on."
Jian Fu jumped in fright, and the sword clanged to the floor.
"Once the full moon passes, you won't be able to kill me. This is your only chance."
Jian Fu picked up the sword, strode resolutely to the whetstone, and began sharpening it.
As he sharpened, he declared his loyalty with unwavering conviction: "Master, I'll sharpen this iron sword into an acupuncture needle and treat your legs!"
The Demon Venerable: ?

Word spread that the Demon Realm's venerable master, Bai Yunshang, had recovered the use of his legs. The Three Realms trembled and formed an alliance to discuss how to defend against this fiend's world-destroying power.
But hundreds of years passed, and the Three Realms remained peaceful. Nothing happened.
The alliance sent a spy to Lingxue Mountain.
There he saw a man mixing batter, grinning as he said, "Master, could you make a little fire later and bake me a cake?"
The spy: "?" What was cake?
The fiend summoned spiritual fire in his hand. The spy hurriedly covered his head and fled, but instead of the earth shaking and mountains crumbling, he was greeted by a sweet, rich aroma.
That night, the spy returned to Lingxue Mountain and saw a sign hanging at the entrance to the Demon Venerable's residence: "Wellness treatment in progress. Do not disturb."
The spy reported back: The fiend is obsessed with good food and devoted to health and wellness. He has no interest in disrupting the Three Realms.
