An Epic of the Chosen One

Albert Ziegler was a student at Mount Jadeite and a real prodigy, managing to reach the Heavenly Realm in just twenty years. His master, Zelda Theo, had nothing left to teach him, so he pulled a fast one by saying Albert wasn't talented enough to progress and sent him down the mountain. There, he ran into Stephen Ludwig, the patriarch of the Ludwig family, who was in serious trouble—his brain was impaled, and he was barely hanging on. Despite the efforts of three divine healers, they couldn’t save him, which worried Diana, Stephen's daughter. So, Albert decided to step in and save him. The healers thought Albert had ascended to the Sacred Realm, but he just thought they were joking. Grateful, the Ludwig family brought him into the Wings Sect and helped him ascend. They tested his spiritual roots with an orb that counted golden lotuses. Most folks had less than six, but Albert was expected to have nine. The orb couldn't handle his power and exploded, creating a tenth lotus. So, he made it to the Heavenly Realm, the first in a thousand years! Then, he got caught up in a marriage agreement with the Mooncrest Temple and the Fallen Rose. The lady from the Fallen Rose, the saint from the Mooncrest Temple, and Diana all wanted to marry him, leaving him with a tough choice. Meanwhile, Mr. Henry from the Mooncrest Temple was hit by the Piercing Curse thanks to a setup, so Albert decided to help him make a Golden Pill to lift the curse. When he got to the temple, he teamed up with two other alchemists to brew the pills. They needed a Ginso fruit as the main ingredient, and while none of them could get one, Albert pulled it off. The other alchemists ended up with half-finished pills, but Albert managed to brew the Golden Pill with Rootless water.
