“Xiao Jingyan achieved the Golden Core at the age of forty-four. His mastery of mechanical arts is superb, and his natural talent is unmatched throughout history.

“He is a seventh-rank mechanism master, and can even create a top-grade eighth-rank mechanism beast: the Hee-Hee Freezing Wolf.

“Taiyang Zhenren, Supreme Elder of the Floating Cloud Immortal Palace, calls him ‘the Handsome Young Master of Mechanisms.’

“Such a rising star among rising stars, such a heaven-blessed prodigy, was ambushed by Chu Tiankuo, deputy hall master of the Clear Water Hall, at the Beiluo Ruins... Ahem... Even his primordial spirit was annihilated... What a tragedy...

“I, the poor Taoist Yu Yanqiu, swear here and now: if I don't avenge my beloved disciple, I'll stop calling myself Zhenren Jinmian and change my name to Zhenren Jinbujinshuibumian, the Truly Never-Sleeping Immortal.”

…

As he was besieged to death by countless righteous cultivators at the Beiluo Ruins and his soul began to dissipate, a beam of golden light shot down from the sky and entered the crown of Xiao Jingyan's soul.

…

Three years later, Xiao Jingyan was unexpectedly reborn in a mass grave on Ten-Mile Slope, outside Guxiang Town...

…

Not long after, at the brink of death, he inherited the legacy of The Artificer's Craft within his body...

…

Thus it goes:

A thread, a strand, a string plucked apart; seven mountains and five peaks hang at my fingertips.

One ray of dawn can soothe a thousand things; love gives way to a heaven without feeling.
