Yuan Wei was just an ordinary man who spent his days browsing antique stalls. With an inherited eye for spotting jade and judging porcelain, he had spent half his life finding bargains. His greatest dream was simply to save enough for a small home and live out his days in peace.

He simply sat there in silence, devouring the purest essences of the Myriad Worlds.
