The Broken Pill Furnace Gained Sentience, and I Used Alchemy to Rise to the Supreme Rank

[Cautious schemer] [Waste] [Play the pig to eat the tiger] [Ruthless and decisive] [Destroying all evidence] [Getting rich through alchemy] [No System]

As the lowest-ranking servant disciple of the Xuantian Sect, Chen Yuan was born with defective alchemy meridians. The entire sect declared that he had no future in the Dao of Alchemy. He wasn't even considered worthy of carrying pill furnaces for inner sect disciples or sweeping up alchemical residue, and was subjected to contempt and merciless exploitation. Every day, he could do nothing but the hardest, most exhausting work: clearing waste from the alchemy rooms and throwing away broken magical artifacts. His life was worse than a dog's.

Then, while clearing discarded magical artifacts at a mass grave in the back hills, he found a battered, drafty scrap of a pill furnace. He accidentally dripped blood from his fingertip into it, awakening an ancient Creation Artifact Spirit that had slumbered inside! This apparently useless furnace turned out to be a heaven-defying treasure. It needed no one to operate it: simply toss in the alchemy waste, and it would automatically purify and refine it, transforming the worthless into something wondrous and producing perfect pills one after another. Even broken flying swords and shattered magical artifacts could be tossed in and reforged, or even transformed into treasures of far greater power!
