Gu Hanqu was just the humblest handyman in Qixia Sect's Chaishui Courtyard. One rainy night when he was cleaning the canal, he fished out a cracked black pottery basin from the mud of the mountain stream. Mortal objects placed in it will be "re-engraved" into a purer version after one night: turbid water turns into spiritual springs, bad rice turns into jade millet, residual pills produce elixir patterns, and blunt axes turn into magical weapons. But the more you go against the will, the more secret the price becomes - the moon shines sometimes, the basin power is limited, living creatures cannot bear it, and the breath will remain. If you are not careful, it will lead to search and death.
Gu Hanqu did not dare to show off, so he could only use every enhancement to "survive": stealing spiritual rice, improving medicine residue, making friends with marginal alchemy disciples, transferring to the alchemy room, and borrowing the sect's rules to climb up. But the sect is not a good place. The handyman team leader, the outer disciples, the Alchemy Room Manager, and the various peaks are all fighting to keep an eye on the flow of resources; and the broken basin is by no means just an ancient artifact in the world.
When everyone still regarded him as an ant that could be crushed at any time, this young man at the lowest level had already decided: Since the Immortal Sect only values resources and strength, he would start from a pot of one meter and make himself an existence that no one can touch.
