Others cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy, competing on talent, and fighting over resources. Lin Mo gets by picking up trash.
A junkyard owner from Earth transmigrates to the cultivation world, on the verge of starving from the start, and awakens the Myriad Worlds Scrap Recycling and Conversion System. Trash pills that others toss aside become top-grade immortal pills in his hands. Broken swords discarded by others turn into weapons that can shatter supreme-grade magical treasures. Scraps of ruined formations that others trample underfoot can be pieced together to trap Golden Core ancestors to their deaths.
A bully from the outer sect tries to steal half of his moldy fasting pill? Lin Mo whips out a broken sword he picked up and beats him until he begs for mercy. A snobbish steward falsely accuses him of theft? Lin Mo exposes the steward's embezzlement on the spot and gets him kicked out of the sect.
He takes over the sect's dump and opens a chain of recycling stations across the continent, using assembly-line sorting, trade-ins, and eco-friendly public services to crush the local cultivators with technology from a higher level. When an ancient ruin opens and everyone scrambles for ancient Golden Core pills, he alone hauls away the entire warehouse of junk and makes a fortune.
The Heavenly Dao Alliance monopolizes resources and treats all living beings as pawns? Lin Mo builds spiritual-energy nuclear bombs from trash and assembles an army of a million immortal weapons from scrap, overturning the old order that has ruled for a thousand years.
When everyone thinks he is about to reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world, Lin Mo looks at the endless mountains of garbage in the Immortal Realm and grins with excitement. "Looks like I'll have plenty to keep me busy."
