Steady Cultivation: Starting by Refining All Things

[A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality][The Way of the Cautious + Steady and Careful][Be Careful When Caution Is Called For, Be Ruthless When Ruthlessness Is Needed] After transmigrating to a world of immortal cultivation, Zhang Xingzhou became a menial disciple who gathered medicinal herbs. His predecessor's timid nature and the evil people around him soon put his life in danger. Fortunately, he obtained a miraculous pill furnace, the Hunyuan Cauldron. It gave him the ability to make pills, as well as the confidence to kill his enemies. Once the danger had passed, Zhang Xingzhou quietly cultivated in the rear mountains. As his cultivation advanced, the Hunyuan Cauldron's extraordinary qualities gradually came to light. To his surprise, this unassuming little cauldron could refine all things! Not just herbs, but weapons, magical treasures, demon beasts, and even... living cultivators! Many years later. Zhang Xingzhou looked back and suddenly realized that the lowly menial disciple who had once scrabbled to survive was gone. In his place stood the Heavenly Venerable of Heaven Refining. As all the immortals bowed before him, he looked weathered and weary, and simply shook his head with a sigh: "The mighty Yangtze flows ever east, its waves wash away heroes; right and wrong, success and failure, all vanish in a moment." "The green hills remain as ever. How many sunsets have come and gone?"
