Battle Through the Heavens: Qingyan Workshop

Qingyan City, a small city in the northeastern corner of the Jia Ma Empire, with low city walls, backed by Qingyan Mountain, and rich in low-grade medicinal herbs. The city has three major families: the Zhao family, the Zhou family, and the Liu family. The Zhao family, backed by the city lord's mansion, monopolizes the city's market. The Zhou family was originally a small alchemy clan, but by the generation of Zhou Yue, only a medicine workshop in the north of the city and three acres of medicinal fields outside the city remain. The Zhou family has no strong members; the highest cultivation is Zhou Yue, a three-star Dou Zhe. The protagonist Zhou Chen, seventeen years old, is at the eighth stage of Dou Qi, not considered a waste among his peers, but in the eyes of the Zhao family, he is almost the same as a waste. — Description from novelcodex.org
