Invincible in Alchemy and Martial Arts

Invincible in Alchemy and Martial Arts is an Eastern fantasy web novel by Situ Haojie, complete at about one million characters on an online serialization platform. The story establishes its protagonist's image from the opening lines: Don't mess with me if you don't want to die, because I am the alchemist closest to god, Huo Zhun. Huo Zhun was originally a supreme alchemist standing at the pinnacle of the alchemical path; for certain reasons he died, and his soul was reborn on the Alchemy and Martial Continent, possessing the body of a young master regarded as worthless and a wastrel. In this second life he carries in his mind all the formulas, heat control, and pharmacological knowledge of his previous life, and in his hands he holds alchemical methods far beyond this world, so he starts from the humblest martial arts, tempering his physique and breaking through bottlenecks with pills while relearning martial techniques and swordsmanship, mastering both the path of alchemy and the path of martial arts. Spirit herbs, pill formulas, demon beasts, mercenary bands, family intrigues, and sect powers appear in turn, and the protagonist accumulates resources and reputation through repeated alchemy duels, wagers, pursuits, and counter-kills, while gradually uncovering the conspiracies surrounding himself and his family. The work follows the typical route of the alchemy master reborn and rising: dense satisfaction in showing off and slapping faces, brisk pacing of leveling up, a tiered hierarchy that advances layer by layer, along with secret realm exploration and power struggles, suited to readers looking for a light, stress-relieving, satisfying Eastern fantasy long read.
