A Mortal's Road to Immortality: Training Begins as a Cauldron Slave

No System cheats, no memories of a past life, just an ordinary cultivator fighting with every last bit of his strength! The sect wants to make me a pill slave, and my senior brother wants to make me a cauldron slave. I’ll forge my own defiant immortal path by stealing spiritual energy, devouring souls, and refining mortals into cauldrons! Are Five-Spirit-Root cultivators all good-for-nothings? Shi Mu, who cannot find a way to save his father, is determined to defy heaven! To cure his father, he risks his life to join Changchun Valley, only to be scorned for his Five-Element mixed spirit root. While others achieve Qi induction in two months, it takes him nearly a year of blood and sweat to knock on the gates of immortality. In return, he gets endless, backbreaking alchemy labor in the Pill Hall. The sect never wanted an alchemist. It wanted a pill slave! An even more terrifying conspiracy lies ahead. When Shi Mu discovers that his senior brother Lin Xuan’s repeated “kindness” conceals a plot to refine him into a slave of the Soul-Devouring Cauldron, he realizes that the so-called immortal opportunity is really a death trap! Chains cannot bind an unyielding soul. A blood sacrifice to the Soul-Devouring Cauldron unexpectedly allows him to take control of the ancient and vicious treasure. “You want me to be a cauldron slave?” Shi Mu wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth as the sinister cauldron in his palm hums and trembles. “From today onward, I am its master!” When the shackles of being a good-for-nothing become the key to defying heaven, watch how this Five-Spirit-Root youth breaks through his predicament and forges a bloodstained path to rebirth in the cruel world of cultivation!
