The Golden Crow Tempered in Mortal Flames

Transmigrated into the body of a furnace-tending medicine slave at the Spirit Sword Sect, where the earthfire vein has run dry, Gu Qingxuan holds a battered, drafty bronze cauldron. He grasps the principles of Kan and Li, Yin and Yang, and uses morning dew and the rising sun to craft an Initial Yang flame with his own hands. Across the land, all fires compete in intensity, while immortal clans monopolize the fire veins and enslave unaffiliated cultivators. But they do not know that the utmost Yang is born from the utmost Yin, and that the secrets of Heaven lie hidden! No top-grade spirit charcoal or raging earthfire needed. With a drop of morning dew from beneath the eaves and a wisp of purple dawn qi, Gu Qingxuan crafts the Heavenly Sun True Flame in the tiny confines of his battered cauldron, a fire capable of burning up the heavens! Scions of prestigious clans pile up spirit stones only to blow up their furnaces time and again, while he uses ordinary wood and wild brushwood to refine flawless divine pills. The great immortal sects fight tooth and nail over the world's strange fires, yet a fluffy, pill-scrap-munching Ancient Three-Legged Golden Crow quietly pokes its head out of his sleeve. When the eternal ice tribulation descends and the earthfires of all immortals go out, Gu Qingxuan steps out of his dilapidated alchemy workshop. The Golden Crow in his sleeve spreads its wings and transforms into a sun that patrols the heavens. One ordinary furnace fire will blaze across the Myriad Worlds!
