The Path of Immortal Treasure Hunting

Lin Mo, an orphan from a mountain village, walked a thousand miles with a small bundle just to ask the Qingyang Sect one question: Can this fate still be saved? The spirit-testing stone monument flickered and then went dark—a Leaking Spirit Body, where spiritual energy leaks out as soon as it enters the belly. According to the rules, he should pack up and leave. But Elder Fu, the spirit-testing elder, stared at his dantian for a long while and made an exception to keep him as a menial servant. After five years with no progress in cultivation, a transfer order sent him to guard the sect's most unwanted waste dump—before he even arrived, the joke had spread everywhere. It wasn't until an ancient treasure-swallowing cauldron awakened in his dantian that he realized: others cultivate immortality through talent, but he cultivates by picking up trash. Waste pills, broken swords, rotten herbs—things the world throws away are all his chances to defy fate. Who says a spirit-leaking waste can't turn things around? Lin Mo is determined to pick his way from this pile of junk all the way to the pinnacle of life! — Description from novelcodex.org
