I’m Going to Be an Independent Alchemist, No Matter What

At seventeen, she was driven out of her family. As an adult, she awakened an SSS-grade alchemist talent, rejected offers from all the major powers, and insisted on becoming an independent alchemist.

With no supplies and no backing, she gathered her own materials and sold her own pills. Luckily, Xiao Wudu in the military helped shield her from trouble, both open and hidden, and she also had a group of like-minded companions.

She created things no one had ever made before. From then on, translators became standard equipment, harvesters joined merchant caravans, the number of spirit-pattern operators grew from zero to over a thousand, and the price of low-grade energy-rich ingredients was cut in half.

She reshaped the Empire’s landscape, yet still lived in a rundown manor, ran a little shop, and relied on no one.
