Li Weiping was originally just a rural youth from Huiming City, but his elder sister, Li Chun, was a Sorcerer.
Li Chun was discovered by the Shi Family as a "promising talent" and was taken as a disciple by an elder named Shi Zhiliao, who taught her techniques. She later married a Shi Family member named Shi Haotu.
The dowry sponsored by the Shi Family was quite substantial.
Due to his sister's connection, Li Weiping was also fortunate enough to become a Guest of Fate and had the chance to study techniques, but has yet to enter the entry level of cultivation. His brother-in-law, Shi Haotu, is in a similar situation and might be even worse off.
Shi Haotu had the opportunity to be exposed to the Micro-Entry Skill from a young age, yet after so many years, he hasn't mastered it. Thus, his status in the family isn't high.
