Su Mo's parents are both dead, he is buried in debt, and he makes a living collecting scrap. After buying an ancient book, he discovers that it is genuine and can refine all kinds of "junk" (such as scrap metal, residue, and discarded spiritual energy) to strengthen himself and improve his cultivation. With this unique technique, Su Mo draws power from waste materials and advances rapidly. He uses discarded pill furnaces, abandoned mines, and other materials to quickly break through to the Qi Refining Stage, and obtains a fragment of the accompanying General Compendium of Artifact Refining, which can turn waste into treasure.
