Discarded Disciple of the Pill Peak: I Use Chemistry to Make Pills

What others threw away as dregs looked like treasure to him. In his hands, all kinds of waste could be turned into miraculous pills that transformed the rotten into the extraordinary. As a disciple with a crippled spirit root, Shen Yan was expelled after failing to produce a single up-to-standard second-grade pill in three years. An elder had just smashed his pill furnace, and all he had left was half a bag of discarded pill residue and a sketch of a glass distillation apparatus he’d drawn himself. With no talent or resources, he opened a small pill shop at the foot of Qinglan Sect’s mountain. Using chemical purification methods, he turned the discarded pill residue from the Pill Peak into pills he could sell, securing a foothold and keeping a low profile as he leveled up. Hundreds of years later, when Shen Yan was at the height of his fame, the disciples of Qinglan Sect would still remember that distant afternoon when he was expelled from the Pill Peak… This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
