In the Great Chu Dynasty, people judge one another by their spiritual roots. Su Yan is the son of the richest man in the land, yet he was born with blocked meridians and is destined to be nothing but an ordinary mortal. His family's vast fortune has become a juicy target in the eyes of the royal house.
To turn the tables, he spends a fortune hiring people to spread rumors, painstakingly reinventing himself as an unparalleled genius and attracting the attention of the world's greatest Sword Venerable, who takes him as a disciple.
No spiritual energy? I'll use the ancient martial arts of my past life to resonate with the Heavenly Dao! Blocked meridians? I'll eat top-grade spirit herbs like they're meals! Watch me smash mountains of gold and silver into a whole new world!
