The Dragon Amulet

Essentially disowned by the Shen Clan, Shen Nu lives in the slums of Harrowgate City, the capital of the thriving Azure Empire. Unable to cultivate in any of the three paths of the world, Shen Nu's prospects in life are extremely limited until he is drawn to a hidden ruin that his blood will unlock. In the ruin, he finds a single unlocked box with a small amulet inside. Upon Shen Nu's touch, the amulet begins to be absorbed into his skin. This is the beginning of the legendary tale of a abused and broken orphan and his rise to the top of the cultivation world.
