Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land

"The assessment for the Beginner Alchemist failed, and I was driven out like a beggar. Everyone who participated in the Danlu assessment was dressed splendidly, except for me who wore a pair of worn-out straw sandals."

"Failed again... It’s the twelfth time now, and I’m feeling rather hopeless. Perhaps, as they say, someone like me, with no talent and no family background, it is impossible to become a Pill Master."

"I almost thought I was going to die; the attack power of the Ghost Head Frog was astonishingly powerful. Thankfully, my fate wasn’t sealed yet; a mercenary suddenly appeared. He picked me up, scolded me harshly, calling me clueless for venturing into the Poison Frog Swamp as a child. He was harsh, yet he bandaged my wounds as carefully as possible not to hurt me. He wrapped my foot like a rice dumpling, but strangely, looking at him, my wounds seemed less painful. I actually wanted to tell him that I am already fourteen, just malnourished which made me look like a small child. I dared to ask for his name, his name is Lie Changgong."

"The moment I fell from the mountain, the sound of the wind whished beside my ears, I tried to grab something with my hands, but each time, I could only grasp the illusory cloud qi. In that moment, I only had one thought, if I could survive and become a Pill Master, I was willing to pay any price, any price whatsoever."

"With the aid of the Flame Dragon Breath, I successfully made a Spiritual-grade Elixir Pill on my first attempt. I passed both the Beginner and Middle-level Alchemist assessments on my first tries. After learning that I had become a Middle-level Alchemist, even the wealthy families in the city, including the Imperial Palace, sent people specifically to reward me. I left the money with the village chief and left the village. I knew I had achieved my original intentions. In pursuit of more advanced Alchemy Techniques and broader horizons, I decided to leave the Shang Kingdom."

"I met him again, but this time, I appeared before him as a Pill Master. He was poisoned and did not recognize me. Two years have passed, and there have been many changes in my appearance and status. Such a foolish man, I decided, I’ll never tell him that he once saved me, letting him forever remember my favor."

"After retiring from the Dragon Knight Mercenary Corps Group, I refused multiple invitations from the Danlu, I am not a generous person. The ethos of Danlu’s people and the humiliation they gave me back then, I admit, I cannot forget. After returning to the Shang Kingdom with Changgong, we accepted the invitation from the King of Shang, established the Lie Family Mansion, and I became pregnant. However, the Flame Dragon Breath within me became increasingly unstable. After Changgong found out, he finally convinced me to take the assessment for a High-level Alchemist in Danlu to become a member among the Danlu Alchemists, for the sake of the child in my womb."

The memories Yue Jinghua had of Feng Wanwan had faded, but Lie Rou’s narration today has ignited a special affection in her for this grandmother who passed away many years ago.
