What should have started as a regular life in any reincarnation story, for Shen Bao everything turned upside down when he found out that he doesn't have the ability to cultivate. Betrayed by his own sons, doomed to death, and at the mercy of a ruthless group of cultivators, the mortal Shen Bao finds hope as fate intervenes, giving him a path to cultivate like none other, a path through poison.
