In the vast, boundless realm of immortals, where the pursuit of enlightenment shapes the very fabric of existence, mortals often find themselves at the bottom of the hierarchy, dreaming of transcending their humble beginnings. Among them is Lu Hangzhi, a college student from the modern world, who unexpectedly finds himself in Ziyun Town as a mortal servant. Each day is a delicate balance of survival as Lu navigates the complexities of a life dictated by the whims of the powerful. Yet, his spirit remains unyielded; he refuses to accept a fate of mediocrity. Determined to break free from the shackles of servitude, Lu throws himself into his work, cultivating skills and knowledge in the hopes of rising above his station. A twist of fate occurs when Lu performs a selfless act, catching the attention of Zhu Fuqin, the esteemed eldest daughter of the Zhu Mansion, and her senior brother, Leng Wuya. Recognizing Lu’s potential, they invite him to take a test that could alter the course of his life—if he succeeds, he’ll be granted the opportunity to become a disciple of the prestigious Xuanxin Sect. Seizing this golden opportunity, Lu pours his heart into every task assigned by Zhu Fuqin, earning her respect and mentorship. During this intense period of growth, he stumbles upon an unexpected boon: a rare five-hundred-year-old spiritual fruit. Consuming it significantly enhances his innate talents, prompting Zhu Fuqin to invest further in his development. With her guidance and support, Lu’s progress accelerates. He immerses himself in rigorous training, honing his abilities and demonstrating unwavering dedication. His efforts culminate in a successful passing of the test, marking his entry as an outer disciple of Xuanxin Sect. However, Lu’s ambition is not easily satiated. The title of outer disciple is merely the first step on a much larger journey. He sets his sights on becoming an inner disciple, where greater resources and opportunities await—resources he believes are essential for securing a foothold in this world of immortals. As he navigates the trials of cultivation, Lu faces not only external challenges but also the inner demons of doubt and ambition. With each step, he learns that the path to true power is fraught with moral dilemmas, fierce rivalries, and unexpected alliances. Yet, with Zhu Fuqin’s support and his unyielding resolve, Lu Hangzhi is determined to carve his name into the annals of the immortal world, striving to transform the uninhabited wonderland into a realm where he truly belongs. In a journey defined by growth, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of greatness, Lu must ask himself: What does it mean to be immortal, and at what cost does one seek power?
