Nine Turns of Forgetfulness

Lin Yuan was once the most dazzling genius of the Qingyun Sect in the past century - he had innate five-element spiritual roots. He touched the threshold of the golden elixir at the age of seventeen. Everyone said that he would be able to transcend tribulations, ascend to the heavens, and become a saint in the future. Until his most trusted senior brother handed him a bowl of "Ning Yuan Soup". The spiritual root shattered, the golden elixir collapsed, and the cultivation level dropped to the early stage of introducing Qi into the body. He went from a genius admired by everyone to a trash that everyone can bully. Three years of humiliation, beatings, and ridicule crushed him into dust. The only one who didn't abandon him was a handyman disciple named Su Qian - she exchanged thirty-two spiritual stones and a silver hairpin left by her mother for a dilapidated ancient book that no one cared about.
