The Workaholic Alchemist Is Here to Assist You

Yin Liang, a master alchemist from the cultivation world, transmigrates into the body of a fourth-year university student in the interstellar era who shares her name. As soon as she arrives, someone drags her into the selection trials for the Interstellar All-Around Competition.

Her teammate cheerfully says, "Our goal is to apply for the school's scholarship. We just need to scrape through the first round of the qualifiers."

Yin Liang, who has never known defeat, can hardly believe her ears!

The first round?

You've got to be kidding!

If you're weak, just take a pill!

How can you say something so unambitious!

She looks around at the alchemy ingredients scattered throughout the arena and decides to give this team a boost.

Unfortunately, the giant black pot doesn't work too well as an alchemy cauldron, and her first batch turns into black sludge.

"Uh, what kind of spirit medicine comes out this color?"

"The sky is falling. Is this really our school's Spirit Medicine Department? Is this year's department doomed?"

"And she's the team captain at this level? She's so bad, hahaha..."

Yin Liang ponders: So this is what it feels like to make pills in a giant black pot~

Interesting. Let's do it again!

She sets the pot on the fire and starts refining pills. Then... every batch comes out perfectly, with a staggering 100% success rate!

Teammates: !

Audience: ?

The director, who has already switched the camera away: !?

They watch this oddball team:

Use a pill when your spiritual energy runs low.

Take another when you're losing.

Take yet another when you're just about to break through during the match.

Before long, her teammates, who had been aiming for the last qualifying spot, look around in bewilderment and realize there are no opponents left in the arena.

What the heck? How did we get first place in the qualifiers!?

Thanks to Yin Liang's tireless efforts, their team gets boosted all the way to the finals, becoming the first F-star team in the history of the Star Power Competition to make it to the final round.

Compared with the many A-star teams, every member of the F-star team is dressed plainly and looks honest and simple. They might as well have "never seen the world" written on their faces.

But once the competition begins... every member of this honest-looking team has a handful of pills. They take them when they can't win, and even when they can.

Their fighting style is downright brutal!

Finals audience: ???

The veteran spectators nearby smile mysteriously. What, have you never seen the pill-popping style before?

The finals audience stares in shock, looking utterly out of their depth. W-what is this!?

In an era when the core of a team's strategy is either a solo fighter or a beast tamer, the F-star team chooses... spirit alchemists.

Spirit alchemist Yin Liang is the only god-tier support in this year's Star Power Competition.

Theme: Heaven rewards diligence.
