The new Cauldron Master of the Xianzhou Luofu's Alchemy Commission is one perceptive and intelligent Vidyadhara healer. With a keen sense of smell, she diagnoses ailments and calms minds with aromatic therapy.
Adept at navigating complex social relationships, she can remain impeccably composed even when turmoil rages within.

As the cauldron became enveloped with clouds of dark smoke, the young girl sits anxiously on the pillow, her bright eyes fixed on its rattling lid.
Following an explosion resounds through the room, the young girl runs excitedly into her master's consultation room clasping a crystal-clear pellet, despite her entire person looking scorched like a scroll left too close to a candle.
“Master Yunhua! Look, I did it!”

In the crowded consultation room, Cauldron Master Yunhua is currently treating patients. Seeing her master focused and concentrated, the girl obediently hides behind her master and lowers her head to sniff at the scent of the medicinal pellet.
“This pulse… it's a tough one…”
The young girl overhears her master's suspicion and approaches the patient's side to take a sniff.
“Little Dan Zhu, your sense of smell is second to none! Can you tell me anything about this patient's condition?” Yunhua calls the young girl forward and looks at her encouragingly.
“Hmm… There's a faint smell of overripe fruits, likely a sign of spleen deficiency with excessive thirst…”
“Quite right… that would match with the early symptoms. So, what medication would you recommend?”
The young girl raises the pellet in her hands and loudly proclaims: “Half of a revitalization pellet, take with water!”
…
After a long day of diagnosing and treating patients, the young girl runs after Yunhua and asks perplexedly:
“Master, why do you still insist on personally seeing patients? I see that the other high-level Alchemy Commission healers spend all their time either treating themselves or rubbing shoulders with wealthy merchants…”
Yunhua finishes organizing her medical records, kneels down, and rubs the young girl's head.
“Little Dan Zhu, have you heard something?”
“I heard people saying bad things about you…” The young girl drops her head, looking as if she's crying.
“Little Dan Zhu, what do you think is the duty of a healer?” Yunhua lets out a faint smile and picks Dan Zhu up in her arms.
“To study medicine with devotion, and to treat the sick and save the wounded…”
“If that's the case, don't you think healers like me should spend every day working hard and being loyal to our duties?”
“… Yes, master!”
Even after seeing her master's warm smile, there is still a sliver of doubt that lingers within her heart.

The years that she spent studying under Yunhua were the must fulfilling and joyous of her life.

She would flitter through vials of strange herbs like a snake with a keen nose and research strange creatures from other planets. The origin of mara, the true essence of the Abominations of Abundance, medicinal pellets that eased the onset of mara… Each new research topic led her further into this fascination and caused her a lfielong obsession. Every day brought new progress and new joy.

However, in the time that she had become immersed in fragrance and fantasy, the Alchemy Commission had silently grown unstable and treacherous.
After dozens of days and nights of internal surveillance, the waves of war finally spread to immerse Cauldron Master Yunhua.
With a single order, she was stripped of her role as Cauldron Master and made a commoner.

Actually, she had smelt this strange scent coming.
The whisperings of the Preceptors, the aroma of unknown medicinal pellets around the Alchemy Commission, the nights her master had spent going to and from the Shackling Prison after receiving a mysterious message… But by the time she noticed how these things were all related, it was too late.
She sought help from her superiors in the Alchemy Commission, but her usually kind-hearted seniors had grown envious of the previous Cauldron Master and she received only cold responses and warnings. She made an official appeal, over and over, but received the same response every time. However, she just could not bring herself to believe that the Cauldron Master who had devoted herself wholeheartedly to the wellbeing of her patients would do anything unreasonable.

Just as she could not repress the urge to argue her master's case once more, Yunhua appeared from nowhere and gently patted her on the shoulder.
“Dan Zhu, there is no need for you to plead my innocence anymore… I am exhausted, I don't mind leaving this place.”
She chased after her master, but before she could say another word, she caught a whiff of a strange scent…
The scent of a conspiratorial plot.
