Three Years Scavenging in the Junkyard, Then I Turn the Cultivation World Upside Down

For three hundred years, a garbage mountain in Qingyun City has been piled high with discarded pill dregs, broken magical artifacts, and rotting spirit herbs. The powerful avoid it at all costs, seeing it as filthy and inauspicious.

Cultivation resources are monopolized at every level by sects and wealthy clans. Rogue cultivators struggle to survive, forced to eke out a living in the garbage. Everyone takes it for granted that the useless are born to remain at the bottom.

Shen Du, a boy who grew up in the mud, suffered endless mockery. The nobles even humiliated him by tossing spirit stones at him. No one knew he had awakened the Garbage Recycling System.

Discarded pill dregs could be refined into pure medicinal ingredients. Broken magical artifacts could be smelted into top-grade materials. Even rotten spirit herbs could temper spiritual roots.

The garbage others threw away as worthless was all cultivation resources to help him defy the heavens and rise to power.

By digging up abandoned pill furnaces, refining scrap materials, and learning a lost secret recipe for removing pill toxins, Shen Du grew stronger step by step amid mountains of trash.

The young noblemen who had once mocked him now gaped in disbelief at the common-born boy who had risen out of nowhere.

When the nobles finally realized that the trash they had casually tossed aside had made a powerhouse capable of shaking the entire cultivation world, they were dumbfounded and filled with regret.

Shen Du stood atop the garbage mountain with a hoe over his shoulder and smiled. “The junk you despise is precisely the trump card I'll use to overturn the whole hierarchy.”
