Because Qin Yu"s meridians are damaged, he cannot practice the internal arts and has withdrawn from society to live in seclusion with his grandfather Lian in the mountain village. To lift Qin Yu"s low spirits and remind him of hope and resilience, Lian presents him with an unusual bird he calls Xiao Hei.
Eager to earn his father"s approval and prove his worth to the family, Qin Yu turns toward the cultivation path. Under Zhao Yunxing"s strict regimen he works to surpass his physical limitation and master outer martial techniques. During a break from one session, Qin Yu discovers a crimson crystal that unexpectedly merges with his flesh. Unaware of the change, this hidden alteration endows Qin Yu with remarkable powers that will help him, accompanied by Xiao Hei, demonstrate his worth to his father.
