Gu Yang has three spiritual roots and is the most unremarkable disciple in the outer court of Qingmu Sect.
Everyone says that no one with three spiritual roots can reach Foundation Establishment.
Gu Yang doesn't believe them.
He has a battered pill furnace concealing the ancient legacy of the Alchemy Dao: the Nine Refinements to Return to Truth.
The first refines the medicine, the second fuses the flame, the third reveals the subtle, the fourth conceals the edge... The ninth brings all things into one, returning every medicine to its source.
At the sect tournament, others rely on spells, while he relies on pills.
In secret realms, others seize opportunities, while he refines them.
In the contest among a hundred clans, he trades a single furnace of pills for a world of his own.
By the time the prodigies finally notice him, Gu Yang is already standing at a height they cannot reach.
“I'm just an ordinary alchemist, that's all.”
The Alchemy Dao has no end. Nine refinements can seal one into immortality.
