Lin Bei, a transmigrator stranded in a martial arts world, pretends to be an immortal master using Tai Chi to earn enough to eat. Zhang Teng, a fallen genius, admires Lin Bei and seeks to become his disciple. Just as Lin Bei is about to be exposed, he activates a system that returns cultivation whenever he accepts a disciple. When his disciples achieve enlightenment and practice their techniques, he gains the corresponding techniques and cultivation in return. Zhang Teng has exceptional comprehension and quickly masters Tai Chi, discovering a breathing technique. When Niu Er, a boastful villager, provokes the Liuhe Martial Arts School, Zhang Teng follows his master's teaching that virtue conquers all and defeats the school's martial artist, Zhao Bao. The school's master, Cheng Lu, brings people to challenge Lin Bei in revenge. Using the system to simulate the battle, Lin Bei defeats Cheng Lu with a single palm strike, transforming from a counterfeit immortal into a true cultivator.
