The Immortal Ascension

After teenage Han Li and Zhang Tie fail to join the Seven Mysteries Sect, a physician takes them in as apprentices. But their mentor hides a dark secret.

While Han Li saves Li Feiyu and learns that all of Mo's previous disciples have vanished without a trace, Zhang Tie overhears Mo plotting with Yu Zitong.

Han Li lies about his progress when Mo returns with a ghastly puppet. After reaching the sixth level, can he survive an attempt to possess his body?

Accompanied by the puppet Qu Hun, a poisoned Han Li heads to Jiayuan City to find a cure and uncovers a marriage plot involving the Mo family's daughter.

After Mo Caihuan cures him, Han Li visits Tainan Valley and learns of the Immortal Ascension Trials. Meanwhile, Wan Nangong looks into suspicious deaths.

The Immortal Ascension Trials begin. Rejected by a major sect, Daoist Qingwen plots to steal an important pill and attempts to rope in Han Li.

After Nangong Wan saves him, Han Li returns home. Later, he uses his Ascension Token to join the prestigious Yellow Maple Valley sect but faces hostility.

Failing to woo Chen Qiaoqian, Lu Mingyuan lashes out when Han Li refuses to give him a Foundation-Building Pill. Martial Uncle Ye assigns Han Li a task.

With Martial Uncle Ma's help, Han Li purchases a cauldron and gets ready to make a Foundation-Building Pill — but the ingredients needed are rare.

Han Li catches Lu Mingyuan assaulting Chen Qiaoqian and kills him with a new magic weapon. Meanwhile, Yan Ruyan's illness returns.
