Counterattack Begins with Collecting Scrap from the Heavenly Realm

Thirty-five-year-old Liu Wei pedals a tricycle collecting scrap in Suzhou, Northwest China, working from dawn to dusk to support his family—only to be publicly humiliated by his wife Li Yulan. A divorce agreement leaves him with nothing, cast out of his home. With nowhere to go, he settles in an abandoned cave dwelling at the foot of a mountain on the city outskirts. In the cave is an old earthen kang; every night, as he lies on it to rest, his soul passes through the void to the Celestial Ruins of the heavenly realm. The Celestial Ruins are piled with waste discarded by immortals: spoiled pills, broken dharma-tool fragments, formation flags drained of spiritual power. One spoiled pill and he directly breaks through to the first level of Qi Refining, his stamina and vitality surging a hundredfold. By day, he rides his tricycle as usual, collecting mortal-world scrap in Suzhou and living a steady life; by night, lying on the earthen kang to sleep, his soul enters the immortal realm, gathering immortal materials and tempering his cultivation, slowly advancing toward Foundation Establishment and Golden Core. Everyone thinks he is nothing but a bottom-rung scavenger. They will never imagine that this man, who can visit the heavenly realm just by sleeping on a cave's earthen kang, will ultimately walk the immortal path—leaving all who looked down on him far behind. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Counterattack Begins with Collecting Scrap from the Heavenly Realm — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
