Ning Yue, a menial disciple of the Scrap Artifact Valley, spends three years mastering the Art of Vein Unraveling, a technique that allows him to see the stress, spiritual currents, and blocked nodes within magical artifacts and earth veins. He first uses an unsharpened iron sword to decipher a high-grade talisman artifact, then employs three ordinary spirit nails to redirect the rampaging earth veins in the Azure Abyss Gorge. In the final ranking battle, Ning Yue defeats Pei Shaoqing's Nine Luminaries Mystic Light Armor with an anomalously transformed iron spike. Ultimately, he reconstructs a small spirit-guiding cauldron from discarded copper and scrap iron, earning the recognition of the venerable artifact master Mo Fengshan. He also drives the transformation of Scrap Artifact Valley into the Hall of Vein Unraveling, using achievements in artifact veins to break the aristocratic clans' monopoly on discarded materials and allowing disciples from humble backgrounds to obtain spiritual materials and inheritances through their own abilities.
