The Foolish Immortal Alchemist Emperor

Chang Sheng, an alchemy boy in the heavenly court, is a master of alchemy but has almost no combat ability. During the war between immortals and demons, he is framed and finally falls on the battlefield, gazing at the sky with unwillingness; just then, his dying mortal enemy, the Ancient Heavenly Demon, appears, and the two strike a deal: in exchange for two conditions, Chang Sheng gains the chance for an immortal to re-enter reincarnation. Reborn, he becomes the son of the prime minister of the Da Qi Dynasty in Tianyuan Shenzhou, but he is born with incomplete mental development. Countless miraculous pills fail to awaken his mind, and he speaks and acts like a child, regarded by those around him as a "fool." To advance their cultivation, the Chang family's servants lure Chang Sheng to a hidden cave and push him into an alchemy furnace, intending to refine him into a "human pill"; instead, Chang Sheng escapes and rises on the strength of his alchemy mastery from his previous life, thereafter hiding his edge and moving through the world under the identity of a "fool." While refining pills and cultivating, advancing step by step, he strikes back in the open and hidden power struggles among family and sect forces, carrying the play-the-fool strategy through to the end. The book's main thread is alchemy-based leveling and layer-by-layer face-slapping, with a light, satisfying style, suited to readers who enjoy traditional fantasy of the "hidden talent" and "alchemy" schools.
