The Golden Crow Tempered in Mortal Flames

After transmigrating into a furnace-tending medicine slave at the Spirit Sword Sect, where the earthfire vein has been severed, Gu Qingxuan holds a battered, drafty bronze cauldron and comprehends the principles of Kan and Li and the Two Forms. Using morning dew and the rising sun, he conjures the first yang fire with his bare hands.

Across the world, every kind of fire competes in intensity, while immortal clans and aristocratic families monopolize fire veins and enslave rogue cultivators with overpriced fire jade.

Little do they know that the utmost yang is born from the utmost yin, and the secrets of heaven lie hidden!

"Take the solid center from Kan, and kindle the yin within Li's palace."

No need for top-grade spirit charcoal or raging earthfire.

With a drop of dew from beneath the eaves and a wisp of purple dawn qi, Gu Qingxuan conjures, in the confines of his battered cauldron, Heavenly Sun True Fire that can burn all the heavens!

While the scions of prestigious sects pile up spirit stones and still blow up their furnaces, he uses ordinary wood and wild branches to make flawless divine pills by hand.

While the great immortal sects fight tooth and nail over a wisp of heavenly fire, a fluffy, medicine-scrap-gobbling primordial Three-Legged Golden Crow quietly slips out of his sleeve.

When the calamity of eternal ice descends, the demonic baleful energy of the Nine Nether sweeps across the world, and the earthfires of all the immortals go out, Gu Qingxuan steps out of his dilapidated alchemy room. The Golden Crow in his sleeve spreads its wings and transforms into the great sun that patrols the Nine Heavens. One furnace of common fire sets the Myriad Worlds ablaze!
