Lin Yan, an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect, is recognized by everyone in the sect as a "wasted disciple". It has been three years since he entered the mountain sect, and all his peers have already established foundations and started to enter. However, he is stuck at the peak of the Qi-entraining realm. The spiritual energy in his Dantian is scattered and messy, and it is difficult to improve even the most basic skills. There are only two years left before he is expelled from the mountain. There is only one ancestral magic bead that he has worn since childhood and looks like a solid stone. It is the only thought left after his parents passed away. It has been with him for more than ten years, and the only thing left is the warmth in his palms.
In the desperate situation, in the cold night of the mass grave in the back mountain, the silent black ball suddenly shed its green light. A wisp of clear and moist spiritual energy penetrated into his dantian, purifying the mixed aura in his body, pulling together the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and reversing his cultivation that was on the verge of collapse. Only then did Lin Yan learn that this round bead, which was regarded as an ordinary evil-proofing object, was actually the Qingming bead that contained ancient secrets. It was also his only way to break through the situation and be reborn.
With a "sudden change" in his qualifications, he unexpectedly received a punch from a Foundation Establishment monk, and when he showed his sharp edge, he attracted resentment and made things difficult for him from the inner disciples. The contempt of the outer sect, the strife of the inner sect, the secret rules of the sect, and the truth about the mysterious death of his parents all gradually surfaced with the awakening of Yi Zhu. Lin Yan relied on the power of the relic to build his foundation and refine his cultivation step by step. He struggled to survive in the world of immortality where the weak preyed on the strong, and bucked the trend.
But he didn't know that the aura of Qingming's legacy had already alerted the forces in the dark. From the power disputes in Qingyun Sect to the overt and covert competition among cross-region sects, a shocking storm surrounding ancient relics is quietly brewing. A bead carries the ancestral heritage and the secrets of thousands of years; a useless disciple will eventually embark on the path of cultivating immortality that shakes Qing Ming through the tempering of blood and spiritual energy.
