Born with the lowest talent grade in a thousand years, Ren Xiao was supposed to die before adulthood. His sect calls him “Dead Root” — a joke, a waste of resources, a boy who can’t even sense Qi. But no one ever taught him to gather waste. While prodigies chase pure Qi, Ren Xiao survives on what they throw away — failed pills, spent formations, the dying breath of defeated beasts. It’s disgusting. It’s forbidden. It’s slow. It’s also limitless. Now, every enemy who beats him down just makes him stronger. Every genius who looks down on him is quietly feeding his rise. And the coldest, strongest woman in the sect — Yue Shan, the elder’s prodigy daughter — is about to find out that the boy she was ordered to eliminate might be the only person alive who can match her. They called him talentless. They should have asked what happens when you feed a fire nobody’s watching.
