After transmigrating to the Great Xuan Dynasty, Shen Lian, the only son of a vassal king, had every advantage for cultivation. But from childhood, he had been so obsessed with alchemy in a Daoist temple that he couldn’t stop.
One year, his father, the vassal king, died suddenly, and his cousin, the emperor, passed away. At just eighteen, Shen Lian was chosen as the next emperor.
The empress dowager and court officials thought Shen Lian was certain to be a weak puppet emperor.
Little did they know, Shen Lian had already concocted countless forbidden pills and had become the greatest source of forbidden pills in the world!
“A pill that can raise you by an entire cultivation stage with one dose? I made it!”
“A pill that can make you the equal of a first-rank Martial Sage? I made that one too!”
“Pills that can bring the dead back to life? Pills that can make you ascend to immortality? I made every last one!”
By the time these secrets came to light, Shen Lian had already secured his throne.
A holy maiden from a sect, noblewomen from the duke’s family, and aloof fairies had all fallen at the mercy of Shen Lian’s pills.
Meanwhile, the empress dowager, who sought to rule in the emperor’s place, and the chief grand secretary, who coveted absolute power, both fell beneath Shen Lian’s executioner’s blade.
Only on the brink of death did they realize that the puppet they thought they had invited to be emperor was, in fact, an unprecedented Emperor of Alchemy!
Even after firmly securing the throne, Shen Lian never forgot to practice alchemy and pursue the Dao.
He even tossed the empress dowager and chief grand secretary, who had regarded him as a puppet emperor, into his alchemy furnace.
“My name is Shen Lian. Lian means ‘to refine.’”
“I use Heaven and Earth as my furnace and all creation as my ingredients. I can refine anything in the universe!”
“And anything can become a pill for me!”
Not bad, these look good so far, keep up the good work
