Chapter 0
Over 16 years ago in the wilderness of the famous Phoenix Wing continent, the Blue Riverlands domain opened, a sealed realm that only opens once every 100 years, once opened it will close after seven days.
This ancient sealed realm contains plants with high spiritual energy and different kinds of high level beasts, excellent for producing a variety of elixirs and pills.
The Huang dynasty who rules over the Phoenix Wing Continent, welcomed all kinds of cultivators to come and seek opportunities.
As such, all who heard the news made their way to the Blue riverLands to try their luck, after the seven days concluded, some were not satisfied with their spoils and coveted the treasures of others, even planning to rob them when they leave the ancient realm.
After the cultivators left the secret realm, the face of greed appeared, practitioners were chasing after eachother all over the place.
One such a group were the Crimson Eagle palace and the Moon Dragon palace, alchemist organisations that have always been at odds with each other.
Elder Wu Yan of the Crimson Eagle found success in robbing the other party to which he then fled.
While fleeing he sees the traces of a battle near a home, the walls have fell, the grass is dug out and there's blood underneath the rubble.
But a cry is audible, a child is still alive under all the mess, Elder Wu hears this, "a child's cry, from there!" He quickly lifts up the walls.
As he sees under the walls he is touched by the sight, " What an honourable couple, these two children are clearly not cultivators and yet for their child, they dared to seek death, AHH the world is unfair, so young, so innocent and yet so unlucky ".
After picking up the child and confirming he had no injuries. Elder Wu contemplates a difficult situation "I can not possibly return with a two year old to the Crimson Eagle palace, not only is it not suitable for a child but the journey would be too dangerous, perhaps it's time this old man goes into seclusion, i will write to the palace master to inform him of my training, then I'll raise this boy myself."
After finding a place to settle and raise the boy, he taught him alchemy, not only was Elder Wu's alchemy skills at Supreme Pill Emperor but he was also an excellent teacher.
However Elder Wu had a secret, the Crimson Eagle was a demonic sect who practiced forbidden and unorthodoxed alchemy.
After naming the Child Wu Chen, he would treat him as his successor and teach him both righteous and demonic alchemy, ensuring that the child could blend as a normal alchemist but still do his tasks as a demonic practitioner.
After years of Training in seclusion, the young man is now 18 years old, Wu Yan used his extensive alchemy knowledge to groom his successor.
In the span of this time they performed demonic rituals and consumed dangerous pills to greatly enhance the boy's cultivation. At just 18 years old, Wu Chen's alchemy skills grant him the title Pill King and the realm of his cultivation is at the Spirit King Cauldron stage.
With the parting of the two nearing by, Wu Yan addresses his successor, "Chen'er you have truly grown up boy, you are now capable of venturing the world by yourself, grandfather has already told you about the Crimson Eagle palace, I was not supposed to teach you the secrets of our Palace and as such if they should find out, they will come after my life, however grandfather can take care of himself, what you need to do is master the Soul Devouring technique to it's last stage and more importantly your cultivation should reach the Awakening Spirit Body Stage, this will force the palace to accept you as new talented member and I can negotiate my punishment well, do you understand?", with no hesitation Wu Chen agreed.
"Very good my disciple, the place you will be going to is called the Gold pill pavilion at the north of the imperial capital city, but before that, it's time for my disciple to receive rewards".
Wu Yan surprises his successor with a storage ring, in it, a large amount of plants varying in types, twenty thousand Top quality spiritual stones and a manuscript written especially for Wu Chen guiding him on reaching the Awakening Spirit Body Stage.
Filled with joy Wu Chen bows to his master
"disciple Wu Chen will not let grandfather down, I will surely reach the Awakening as well as cultivate the Soul Devouring Technique and that time I will come help master do his duties in the Crimson Eagle Palace."
"Very Good! my CUNNING! disciple, here's another storage ring with a few tools for alchemy and weapons I have stolen over the years, they are weak but they will do for now, I'll certainly give you better ones when we meet again it also has twenty thousand more Top grade spiritual stones, be sure to live like the grandson of a Supreme Pill EMPEROR!", Wu Yan proudly shouted as he flew away heading to the Crimson Eagle Palace.
