The Collector's Almanac

In the "Era of Ten Thousand Treasures," three thousand years after the spiritual qi revival, everything in the world possesses a "treasure imprint." Plants remember the paths of wind and rain, metal and stone record the pulse of the earth, and even a cultivator's sword intent or a demon beast's roar can condense into intangible "treasure fragments" scattered throughout the world.

A Yan is a lowly "treasure scavenger" in Qingxiao City, scraping by on the most basic plant fragments. Born with "Treasure-Sight Eyes," he can see the halos of fragments invisible to others. But because of his unusual constitution, he cannot absorb fragments and cultivate like ordinary people, so everyone considers him useless.

Then one day, he finds an old, weathered booklet in a garbage heap. Its blank pages can somehow automatically "store" any treasure fragments he touches. Stranger still, whenever he collects enough fragments of a kind to reach "perfection," the booklet repays him with an entirely different ability!
