Lin Yun dies while undergoing his heavenly tribulation and is reborn at the age of twenty, back when he was living with the Xia family. After being framed and humiliated, he awakens his memories and begins cultivating the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Art anew. Using his extraordinary medical skills to save lives, he successively befriends powerful figures in Jiangcheng, including Jin Shirong, Feng Wushuang, and Jiang Xiong. He also demonstrates his strength through stone gambling and the Southern Martial Arts Tournament, earning the title of 'Master Lin.' His fiancée, Xia Yuwei, values power and falls for Wei Tianming, publicly breaking off her engagement with Lin Yun. Lin Yun calmly cuts off their romantic ties, remaining grateful only to Zhou Fen for her kindness. At Xia Jianguo's birthday banquet, Zhou Qinghe, Jin Shirong, and Jiang Xiong all arrive and show Lin Yun the utmost respect. Only then does Xia Yuwei suddenly realize that she had never truly understood Lin Yun's real standing.
