    I’m not sure such a thing exists but I want a Xianxia or Xuanhuan protagonist who is pursuing the dao of Alchemy and not the dao of face-slapping every young master he comes across with the super technique he is mastering called The Super Dragon Destruction of the Nine Worlds.

    hmmm. . . .
    so the skill "The Super Dragon Destruction of the Nine Worlds." is no go huh. . .

    then how about "Demon Sealing Hex?"

    how about this one? is it no good?
    I Shall Seal the Heavens?

    A Will Eternal and I Shall Seal the Heavens fit. The others, unfortunately, generally make the Dao of Alchemy an entry Dao to the Heavenly Dao of Face-slapping Every Young Master He Comes Across With the Super Technique He is Mastering Called The Super Dragon Destruction of the Nine Worlds. AKA the Power Trip Dao of Plot Armor

    You see it in many novels. Protagonists are a jack of all trades. It gets boring fast and the author forgets about it
    I recommend Overgeared, at least it was the focus

    I think this Dao is a Dao that every MC must have

    Does it get better later on or is the MC just always a mentally impaired Weed?

    It gets better but I dropped it because I prefer protagonists who suffer.

    Overgeared is about a legendary blacksmith, not a legendary alchemist
