The Alchemist's Path to Immortality

Fang Ping awakens in the body of a low-ranking outer disciple with miserable spiritual roots, a five-year deadline hanging over his head, and almost no hope of ever reaching Foundation Establishment. His only advantage is a mysterious ancient cauldron left behind after a Nascent Soul cultivator’s failed possession attempt. The Origin Cauldron cannot grant him instant power. What it can do is turn back time inside the furnace—restoring failed pills to their original ingredients and allowing Fang Ping to try again, up to nine times a day. For an ordinary cultivator, alchemy is a ruinously expensive path paved with wasted herbs and shattered fortunes. For Fang Ping, every failure becomes experience without cost. Starting with the humblest Fasting Pills, he studies, experiments, and refines his craft one furnace at a time, converting patience and precision into resources, cultivation, and survival. But a treasure that can reverse time would drive even the greatest immortals mad with greed. To protect his secret, Fang Ping must hide his true progress, navigate sect politics, outwit stronger cultivators, and climb from an insignificant outer disciple toward the summit of the immortal path. No system. No effortless invincibility. Just an alchemist who can afford to fail until failure itself becomes impossible. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Alchemist's Path to Immortality — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
