Swept into a cultivation world by a great stroke of luck, Lu Chen's original body had only the worst, a first-grade Water Spirit Root. He was good for nothing but farming, and soon he couldn't even afford a meal.
Luckily, he awakened the Strange Heavenly Pill Manual Word-Tag System. From now on, even the defective pills he makes won't be entirely useless. As for why every batch turns out defective, don't ask.
It's just that, while these pills do have benefits, their side effects are terrifying too.
One Life-Threatening Strength Pill instantly boosts a young disciple's cultivation, letting him knock down a body cultivator with ten years of experience in a single punch, before he clutches his stomach and rushes to the latrine.
The enforcement elder wants to confiscate his defective pills, but the disciples of the Hundred Beasts Peak come bearing spirit stones, specifically asking for the kind that gives you diarrhea!
The aloof senior sister has no hope of breaking through. After taking a pill, her cultivation surges, but she storms over to the Medicine Peak, demanding that Lu Chen keep it secret. If word gets out, his life is over.
One detoxification pill frees an immortal from a century of poison, but afterward the immortal swears to level the mountain where Lu Chen's Qingping Peak stands.
Years later, powerful figures from the Myriad Worlds crowd outside the alchemy room, waiting for pills. Lu Chen holds up a freshly made spiritual pill and smiles with utmost sincerity. "Everyone, this time it really has just a tiny side effect!"
