From Apothecary Drudge to Lord of All Realms

Eight thousand years ago, the Ten Great Sacred Lands joined forces to slay the Green Desolate Medicine God, plundering his treasures and erasing his legacy. Eight thousand years later, Ye Qingcang awakens in his youth, given a second chance at life. In his past life, he put his faith in righteousness—and was ultimately betrayed by it. In this life, he abides by a single principle: equivalent exchange. A sword immortal seeking a pill after being deemed crippled? Agreed—sign a blood contract and become his blade when called. A female emperor dying from a rare poison? Agreed—take the antidote, and your life henceforth belongs to him. A young medicine prodigy born with frigid bones, tormented to the brink of suicide? Agreed—he offers her a Nine-Orifice Bone-Settling Pill in exchange for dual cultivation. With a single elixir, he revives the ancient demon lord hunted by the righteous sects, earning a Ten-Thousand-Soul Banner in return. With one poisonous pill, he silently disables the mountain-protecting formation of an entire sacred land. With a single bottle of Ecstasy Powder, every female cultivator of the Bliss Sect is left delirious with pleasure, kneeling in submission. He heals with one hand while weaving an intricate chessboard across all realms with peerless alchemy—every life he saves becomes a piece on his board. When he finally stands before the Ten Great Sacred Lands, they realize in terror that their own holy sons owe their lives to him, their guardians are in his debt, and even their founding ancestors have signed blood pacts with his hand. "In your past life, you surrounded and killed me for your doctrines. Today, I will not lift a finger against you. Instead, I will watch you line up to burn yourselves alive." Ye Qingcang's voice is cold as ice.
