Li Muchen, the "invisible man" at a traditional Chinese medicine college, touches a bronze needle in the dissection lab, and his world is turned upside down! Medicinal herbs glow before his eyes, the death aura inside the sick is plain to see, and a legendary azure flame for alchemy rises in his palm! Chen Xiaoyu, the bespectacled girl who used to be just as insecure as he was, becomes his first "test subject." One self-refined Jade Skin Pill transforms her into a peerless beauty! "Xiaoyu, from now on, you're the only one who gets to take the pills I make." But the Youth Preserving Pill sets the wealthy elite abuzz, the Longevity Pill draws the attention of the state, and a mysterious senior disciple reveals that he carries the legacy of an ancient alchemical path... A beautiful, icy policewoman pursues him, a wealthy heiress cured of her illness falls for him, and hidden sects covet his secrets! Li Muchen pulls the transformed Chen Xiaoyu close with one hand and summons a sky-burning alchemical flame with the other: "Want to lay a hand on someone of mine? You'll have to get past my cauldron first!" From campus heartthrob to supreme master of alchemy, every stunning beauty he meets in the mortal world is both a trial of life and death and a ladder to the heavens!
