After failing her tribulation, Wen Tang woke up to find herself transmigrated into a universally hated cannon-fodder character in the cultivation world.
The original owner had caused trouble and offended the entire sect. In three days, she'd be thrown into the demon-beast forest to feed the spirit beasts.
Wen Tang: ...Time to run.
But her spiritual roots had been destroyed, she was penniless, and she couldn't even get out through the sect's main gate.
Just as she was about to despair, the System finally arrived:
[Ding! Alchemy System successfully bound. The Host's first attempt at alchemy is guaranteed to produce a top-grade pill.]
Wen Tang looked at the golden, glittering pill in her hand, then at the aloof Immortal Venerable outside the mountain gate, who supposedly needed this pill to stay alive.
She swallowed nervously. "Um... Your Excellency, would you like a pill? All I ask is... that you take me away from here."
The Immortal Venerable raised his eyes, his gaze inscrutable. "All right."
Wen Tang later learned that this supposedly "short-lived" Immortal Venerable was the most powerful being in the entire cultivation world.
And his real purpose had never been the pill.
It was her.
