Home/Xianxia/The Drowsy Alchemist's Gentle Reign
by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
Kneeling at his adoptive grandfather's deathbed, Takhon inherited only one thing: a filthy, nameless scroll used for years to prop up a wobbly table. Sealed by a god to hide his heaven-defying talent, Takhon is perfectly content to be the academy's 'crippled' outcast and nap his days away in the sun. But the scroll houses Chom, a spectacularly vulgar ancient spirit who refuses to let him rest. Forced into the Prasat Vidyadhara's grand tournament to protect Sirin - his brilliant childhood friend who silently loves him - Takhon accidentally shocks the arrogant elites by refining a flawless golden pill while completely asleep. The resulting humiliation of the sect's prodigies is swift, gentle, and utterly devastating to their egos. Yet, behind the heartwarming friendships and lazy victories, a clock is ticking. Chom hides a terrifying truth: the god's seal on Takhon’s soul will violently detonate in exactly three hundred days unless he achieves immortal ascension. Can the laziest boy in the world outpace a hidden death sentence without losing the gentle life he cherishes?
