At the great cultivation sect known as the Joyous Union Sect, everyone knows about Wang Chen, the decrepit old menial worker in the pill-waste room. At ninety years old, he has reached only the third level of Qi Refining. Like a speck of dust on the Great Dao, he quietly disposes of the sect’s failed, poisonous pills, waiting for his life to run out amid bitterness and stench.
Yet no one knows that the day a mysterious pill-furnace pendant, cracked all over and worn close to his body, awakens, this speck of dust’s fate is turned upside down! Poisonous pill waste? It can all be transformed into flawless, perfect Daoist pills! Inferior cultivation techniques? They can be instantly deduced to perfection!
He only wanted to cultivate in secret and return to his peak, but the severely injured inner-sect genius he casually saves mistakes him for an unsurpassed recluse. And the destitute junior sister he unwittingly protects turns out to harbor a shocking secret, bringing endless assassins after them.
More absurd still, the enemies who once bullied and humiliated him, treating him like an insect, now kneel before his pill furnace, pleading for a remade version of a failed pill he wouldn’t even bother looking at.
One day, old menial worker Wang Chen pushes open the dilapidated door of the pill-waste room. Looking at the grand immortal sect before him, wreathed in celestial radiance and hiding murderous intent, he dusts the pill ash off his clothes and smiles softly. “Ninety years of dust and toil. Starting today, the art of alchemy reaches the heavens, and I shall rise from mortal to sage.”
See how a generation’s Pill Venerable, starting from the humblest position, wields the most heaven-defying pill furnace, stirs up the Four Seas, and forges an unrivaled legend!
