Biography

Forging the God King Breakthrough Pill

Fu initially doubts claims surrounding Zhang Xuan's Beauty Pill, but agrees to help refine a far more demanding God King Breakthrough Pill. His flame control and medicinal precision let him execute Zhang Xuan's unfamiliar formula, while Zhang clears accumulated pill poison and pushes him from advanced to pinnacle God King mid-forging. Fu's respect grows as the pills come alive, but he later yields to Baiye Qinghong's authority and testifies against Zhang. After Zhang wins, Fu receives cultivation and pill-forging insight as compensation, though their relationship remains damaged. (Chapters 2,162–2,168 and 2,196–2,206)
