The Doomsday Alchemist and the Rice Cooker

Others practice alchemy with treasured cauldrons, burning incense, and controlling the fire with their divine sense, hoping for a sliver of heaven's favor. Lin Yue, however, practices alchemy by plugging in a rice cooker, adjusting the parameters, and waiting for a batch to finish. As a top materials scientist who transmigrated to a cultivation world without spiritual roots or inheritance, he simply brings his laboratory methods to the path of immortality. With temperature control, pressurization, and layered catalysis, a small rice cooker shatters the millennia-old barriers of alchemy. Pills are mass-produced, costs plummet, and effects are heaven-defying. But all things are conserved; power never comes from nothing. The stronger the effect, the more violent the pill poison; the greater the output, the heavier the price. Behind the opportunity to break through a realm in one step lies the despair of depleted lifespan and a rotting soul. Those seeking pills flock to him, while those who hate him see him as a calamity. The world gives him a title—the Doomsday Alchemist. "I only optimize the formula. Whether you trade your life for power is your own choice." Science versus heaven's way, mass production overturning tradition. One pill can ascend to immortality, or bury you in the grave. — Description from novelcodex.org
