My Collection of Weird Artifacts

My Collection of Weird Artifacts is a Cthulhu-style cultivation long-form novel. The protagonist Lin Yuan is an ordinary person who transmigrated three years ago and managed to get a job as an outer sect handyman in the Heavenly Sword Sect, surviving to this day by being a coward. In his world, immortals and gods have long fallen, and their residual thoughts mixed with negative energy of the world have given birth to countless unspeakable 'weirdness'. Traditional cultivation methods are pitifully inefficient in this era, so Lin Yuan takes a wilder path. In his sea of consciousness, there is a black iron scroll called the 'Weirdness Codex'. This thing has a significant origin; it is a remnant page of a fallen ancient god, as cold as an account book. Its rules are simple: you encounter weirdness, survive, and it records the characteristics of that weirdness, then gives you corresponding abilities or techniques. The stronger the weirdness encountered, the richer the reward. Lin Yuan relied on the 'Seal' solution given by the iron scroll to survive a night, and upon waking, he obtained the divine ability 'Gate of Weirdness'. He was then mistakenly hunted as a murderer by the sect, fled into the dense forest, and gradually built up his own codex. Unable to return to the Heavenly Sword Sect, he had to change his identity and blend into Blackstone City, a place teeming with all sorts of people, avoiding the bounty while collecting more weirdness. In the end, he becomes the Lord of Ten Thousand Weirdness. — Description from novelcodex.org
