He Chen transmigrated into the cultivation world sixteen years ago. Though he has five elemental spirit roots, after two years of hard cultivation he is still only at the first level of Qi Refining. Worse, pill toxins have left him with little time to live.
His childhood sweetheart breaks off their engagement to his face, while scions of powerful clans humiliate him without restraint.
"A short-lived wretch at the first level of Qi Refining like you thinks you're worthy of becoming her cultivation partner?"
He Chen is kicked to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He clenches his fists, but can only swallow his humiliation.
He cannot even get his hands on a life-saving Clear Mind Pill.
At the brink of despair, He Chen finds a mysterious, broken pill furnace in a pile of discarded pills.
Put discarded pills into the furnace, and it breaks them down into mysterious essence!
Put ordinary pills inside, and they become top-grade in the blink of an eye!
The pill toxins that have plagued him for years are completely purged overnight!
To He Chen's delight, the furnace can even evolve as his cultivation breaks through, unlocking ever more powerful and wondrous abilities!
From then on, he refines top-grade pills, amasses mountains of spirit stones, and seizes the opportunities of heaven and earth!
Those who once bullied him will pay the price.
And a mysterious iron token bearing patterns like those on the pill furnace conceals a shocking secret known to no one...
