I Ascended by Turning Trash into Treasure

#Sorry, I'm out of inspiration. I'll save up more chapters.

#Female protagonist's perspective

Dou Fu is a good-for-nothing who can't cultivate immortality and can barely make a living as a menial disciple.

One day, on a whim, Dou Fu tried restoring some discarded items and actually turned waste into treasure. From then on, she embarked on a new path.

A damaged book, once repaired, yielded a complete cultivation manual.

An ancient tree root that had been left to rot became a precious ingredient with powerful restorative properties after she nurtured it back to health.

A ruined formation became much more powerful after she rebuilt it.

As Dou Fu turned waste into treasure, her cultivation level shot up. She seized the opportunity to train hard. Not only did she advance at an astonishing pace, the treasures she made became famous throughout the cultivation world.

The overlooked "Little Dou" transformed into the renowned "Senior Dou."

#Male protagonist's perspective

Yang Yu once thought he would focus entirely on cultivating immortality and had no time for romance.

Unexpectedly, fate brought him to fall in love with a diligent and adorable female cultivator.

At the time, outsiders thought they were a terrible match. One was the young master of a top sect with a bright future, while the other was an ordinary rogue cultivator who seemed to love nothing but picking through junk.

But Yang Yu didn't care. He insisted on becoming her cultivation partner and did everything he could to support her in turning waste into treasure.

Years later, that "ordinary" rogue cultivator rose to become a mighty expert capable of defying heaven and earth.

Everyone was consumed with envy and jealousy: Damn it, how did I miss all that trash, I mean treasure? / Damn it, why didn't I realize how amazing she was back then? If only I'd known...

Yang Yu: I think... I found a treasure?
