Once upon a time, there was a Spirit Pearl that conceived from the essence of heaven and earth, possessing the power to devour all living souls. People have given me many names, such as "Earth Demon Pearl," "Suppression Pearl," "Five Elements Annihilation Pearl," and also "Five Elements Fortune-Transforming Pearl," "Wishful Pearl," and so on. But my favorite is still the original name - "Earth Demon Pearl" - because it best suits my noble identity. About 1800 years ago, a poor and ragged Taoist dug me out from the ground, and sealed most of my powers. He used me to expel evil, suppress malevolent spirits, and occasionally exterminate one or two wicked ghosts he couldn't handle, passing me down as a family heirloom from generation to generation. And so, the story of the Spirit Pearl, once filled with twists and turns, unfolded on the streets of the mortal realm, leaving an indelible mark on the lives it touched and forever cherishing the memories of its time.

"In the tumultuous Central Plains, power and prestige are fleeting, and today's friend is tomorrow's foe-and Shen Qiao is in the eye of the storm. Following a daring rescue in the midst of a coup that marks the end of a dynasty, the mild-mannered Daoist has no time to rest as rumors of a power struggle call him home to Xuandu Mountain. But before he even reaches his destination, another whisper upon the wind cuts into Shen Qiao's heart: Yan Wushi, not yet fully recovered from his damaged demonic core, has challenged Hulugu of the Gèoktèurks to a battle from which only one will survive. Shen Qiao will need to call upon his martial arts and wits to survive the calamity that surrounds him, but when the dust settles, will what he holds dear still remain?"--
