In a world where knowledge is power and power is everything, Lu Jie just wants to escape the endless scheming of sects and arrogant young masters. But fate has other plans when a mysterious alchemist's healing pills not only save his life but ignite a flame of curiosity that changes everything.
Lu Jie wakes up in a world consumed by the mad chase for immortal heaven, determined to stay out of the cultivation rat race. But these magical medicines heal him within moments, sparking a rekindled love for discovery. Suddenly, the world's immutable truths become fascinating rather than frightening, and Lu Jie sees possibilities he never imagined.
Instead of following traditional cultivation methods, Lu Jie begins studying the fundamental principles underlying this world's magic. He discovers that what others call Qi can actually be understood through scientific laws—leading to the revolutionary equation Qi=MC². This fresh approach to magic combines ancient wisdom with logical reasoning, creating cultivation techniques that are both powerful and understandable.
This first book in the series introduces readers to a fascinating world filled with spirit beast companions, intricate alchemy, and cultivation methods that will make you see fantasy magic in a whole new light. Lu Jie's journey from reluctant participant to enthusiastic scientist offers a refreshing take on the weak-to-strong progression trope, making complex magical systems feel approachable and exciting.
Whether you're a longtime Xianxia fan or new to the genre, this series offers something special—the perfect blend of Eastern cultivation fantasy and Western scientific thinking that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
