    I'm sharing a fantasy novel with a very fresh setting, different from traditional cultivation novels. The core gameplay revolves around alchemy and potions. Magical energy can't be absorbed randomly, as it can cause physical explosions. Wild herbs have varying strengths and weaknesses, and high temperatures or imbalanced proportions can produce toxic side effects. The protagonist relies entirely on his own deductions and experiments, without any grandpas giving him secret manuals. From grinding herbs in a stone bowl to unlocking a standardized potion-making station, he levels up step by step. A sense of survival crisis permeates the entire story, creating a highly immersive experience.
