A story that follows Ji Yichuan, a gifted young warrior of the Ji clan. In defending his home, he encounters all kinds of hardships yet ultimately relies on his own strength to defeat his enemies and find love. While under orders to guard a monster, Ji Yichuan (Jiang Qilin) chances upon a sacred beast and leaves his post to hunt it down. Along the way, he meets a dear friend in Yu Chixue (Tang Jingmei). However, Ji Yichuan must face punishment for his infraction as the monster that he was supposed to guard has escaped. Yu Chixue gets seriously injured in her attempt to help him capture the monster. Luckily, he secures the help of Lan Lingyu (Chen Mengyao), a disciple of the Medicine King. After successfully defending the Ji clan, Ji Yichuan embarks on a journey with Yu Chixue and Lan Lingyu in search for the immortal land. They cross paths with Shao Yan Wang (Owodog) who has assumed the pseudonym Wang Yan. Shao Yan Wang feigns kindness while pulling the strings from the background. Ji Yichuan almost dies from the freezing cold. Lingyu offers herself to keep him warm while Yu Chixue witnesses the two naked through a gap.

The Ji clan is hit hard, Lan Lingyu dies tragically while the Yuchi clan is annihilated.
