The Immortal Ascension

The young Han Li and his childhood friend, Zhang Tie, were taken on as students by the divine healer, Physician Mo. He imparts an incantation to them. He says that those who master the incantation will become immortals.

Zhang Tie overhears the secret conversation between Master Mo and Yu Zi Tong. He attempts to warn Han Li, only to expose himself. Master Mo takes ruthless measures against him.

Han Li reaches level six of the Art of Changchun. However, he still falls into the trap of Physician Mo. Physician Mo's consciousness fights against Han Li's consciousness in his mind. Han Li finds out that Physician Mo is trying to take over his body.

To neutralize the poison, Han Li delivered Physician Mo's handwritten letter to the Mo family. He didn't expect Physician Mo to hide a message within the letter. To keep the Mo family safe, the madams of the Mo family decide to take advantage of Han Li.

Han Li arrives at Tainan Valley. He encounters Taoist Qing Wen, the leader of Green Vein Society. Nangong Wan, an elder of Moon Concealing Sect, is investigating the random murder of rogue cultivators. She sets her sights on the suspicious Green Vein Society.

The Ascension Trials commence. Due to his quadruple-attribute spiritual root, Han Li is rejected by all the sects and ultimately fails the selection process.

Han Li makes up his mind to pursue the path of cultivation. He goes home before departing to Huangfeng Valley to bid his family farewell.

Lu Ming Yuan tries to get intimate with Chen Qiao Qian, but as she rejects him, he takes it out on Han Li, who happens to pass by. Lu Ming Yuan demands Han Li to hand over the Foundation Pill.

To break through his current level, Han Li decides to enter the Crimson Forbidden Ground to find the ingredients of the Foundation Pill.

To cure Yan Ru Yan of her ailment, Nangong Wan decides to suppress her power and head to the forbidden ground personally to harvest the required herbs.
