Blazing the Nine Heavens with Alchemy

At the peak of his tribulation, the Alchemy Emperor Su Xuanchen was betrayed by his disciple Xiao Tianqiong and six great alchemy kings, and fell under the heavenly tribulation. A wisp of his remnant soul survived and was reborn as Su Chen, the waste young master of the Su family in the Northern Wasteland—his spiritual root, blood, and bones all stripped away, trampled by his clansmen. In desperation, the memories of his past life as the Alchemy Emperor awakened, unlocking the first chapter of the 'Heaven-Defying Alchemy Scripture': the 'Burning Herbs' chapter. He refined pills without a furnace using discarded dregs, and tempered his crippled meridians with alchemical fire, rising step by step from the abyss. He crushed his enemies in the Su family competition, destroyed the mastermind behind the Northern Wasteland Alchemy Tower, and won the Five Domains Conference, shocking the world. Along the way, he sought the nine chapters of the 'Heaven-Defying Alchemy Scripture', uncovering the truth of the Heaven-Defying True Man's betrayal ten thousand years ago and the Alchemy Demon's corruption of Xiao Tianqiong. When the nine chapters unite, the Alchemy Emperor returns—this time, he will defy the heavens, crush all betrayal and conspiracy, and re-establish the order of alchemy in the world. — Description from novelcodex.org
