Chen Fan, a menial disciple with the lowest-grade spiritual root, spent three years scraping by in the medicinal garden of Qingfeng Sect, yet couldn't even break through to the first level of Qi Refining. The steward shorted his food rations, while his fellow disciples mocked and bullied him. On a night of despair, he accidentally discovered a strange talent: by repeatedly rubbing and grinding objects, he could shatter them and extract their inherent properties. Stones gave him [Hardness], discarded pills gave him [Medicinal Properties] and resistance to pill toxins, and ironware gave him [Sharpness]...
Anything can be ground down, and even trash is treasure.
Starting with waste from the medicinal garden and pebbles from the riverbank, he quietly accumulated fragments of attributes. After Fang Chongyue, one of the sect's three great alchemists, noticed his talent for medicinal knowledge, Chen Fan was transferred to the alchemy workshop, giving him a steady supply of discarded pills and materials. Faced with pressure from senior brother Zhou Yuan, bullying by outer disciples, and undercurrents within the sect, Chen Fan stuck to one principle: keep his head down and quietly grind materials.
Until the day his accumulated gains erupted...
He used [Hardness], gained by grinding thousands of ores, to forge an iron body; used the [Medicinal Properties] of ten thousand discarded pills to open his meridians; and used everything others regarded as trash to forge an unprecedented path to immortality, defying heaven itself.
