The Immortal Ascension (凡人修仙传)

Han Li is an ordinary poor boy from a remote mountain village with mediocre talent. He sets foot on the perilous path of cultivation not out of ambition, but to help his family live a better life. In a world where resources are scarce and power is everything, Han Li must rely solely on his caution, hard work, and careful planning to survive and defy the odds.

The series consists of 30 episodes. Below is a guide to the main story arcs:

• Entering the World of Cultivation (Episodes 1-6): Han Li is accepted into the Qixuan Sect and becomes a student of the mysterious Physician Mo, who teaches him an incantation. However, Physician Mo is secretly plotting to take over Han Li's body, leading to a deadly battle of consciousness that Han Li narrowly survives. He then attends the Ascension Trials to join a major cultivation sect but is rejected for his poor quadruple-attribute spiritual root.
• Early Growth and Struggles (Episodes 7-12): Han Li commits to the path of cultivation and goes home to bid farewell to his family. He later enters the dangerous Crimson Forbidden Ground to find ingredients for the Foundation Pill, a crucial resource to break through to the next cultivation level. Here, he encounters other cultivators and grows stronger.
• Facing Threats and Rising Powers (Episodes 13-26): Han Li continues his journey, navigating the politics and dangers of the cultivation world. He confronts the sinister cultivator Wang Chan and gets drawn into a web of dark forces threatening the realm.
• Showdown and Path to Immortality (Episodes 27-30): In the final arc, the stakes escalate as Han Li becomes a key figure in a major conflict involving powerful fiend cultivators, whose spiritual power is rapidly rising. He and his allies use all their skills and strategies in a final fight for survival, ending his first major journey and leaving the door open for a possible continuation.
