Su Yan, a genius of the Pill Peak, was ambushed by a fellow disciple. His spiritual root was shattered, and he was demoted from promising inner-sect candidate to servant in the medicinal garden behind the mountain.
A greedy steward deliberately ruined the herbs and framed him, trying to force him into the deadly mining camp. Even the lowliest servants dared to lord it over him.
At the brink of despair, the yellow-brown birthmark on his chest awakened: the Xuanhuang Seed Cauldron.
The damaged spiritual roots that others dismissed as good-for-nothing turned out to be natural nourishment for the cauldron.
Toss in a withered grass root, and in the blink of an eye it becomes a top-grade spirit herb. Sow ordinary seeds, and they mature overnight with twice the medicinal potency.
He uses the Cleansing Spirit Flower that others can only dream of to temper his body and restore his spiritual root. He casually plants a medicinal lotus, a millennium rarity, to use as cultivation rations.
His cultivation skyrockets, his alchemical skills surpass the entire sect, the steward who came looking for trouble is subdued with one punch, and an inner-sect genius admits defeat on the spot at the Pill Convention.
From a good-for-nothing servant everyone could bully to an alchemy powerhouse the entire sect fights to recruit, Su Yan makes one comeback after another.
He won’t spare a single one of the enemies who shattered his spiritual root and stole his opportunities.
He will prove his Dao through medicine: even a ruined root can reach the peak of the Azure Clouds.
It looks okay. I don't read novels very much. This one looks good.
