My name is Chen Yan. I’m 28, and in my previous life I was a scrap collector on Earth. Reborn in the Jiuyuan Realm, I find a world where spiritual energy has run dry and the cultivation civilization is on the verge of extinction. I become a servant disciple cast out by my sect, penniless and with nothing but a dilapidated temple.
While everyone else fights over spirit veins and secret realms, I survive by picking up junk. Broken swords, shattered armor, discarded magical artifacts… I can refine them all into energy and memories. A bronze compass awakens the “Way of Recovering Lost Treasures” within me.
What you don’t want, I’ll take. What you throw away is mine. Others laugh at me for scavenging trash, never realizing that I’m using the discarded scraps of countless worlds to pave my path to the summit.
