The Apothecary's Dao

by Serum Writes

Lin Chen was a pharmacist. Then he died on a double shift and woke up in a cultivation world — muddy spiritual roots, a herb-garden punishment assignment, and eight years of pharmacology as his only cheat. The Apothecary's Dao is a cozy xianxia serial about method over brute force: particle sizes, failed experiments, and the quiet art of making better pills. New chapters weekly.
