Heaven Is Just Another Resource by Tufty Goose

Fang Yuan opens his eyes as an unremarkable disciple about to be sent away from his sect. His talent is mediocre, his cultivation is near the bottom, and in a world ruled by power, a single mistake could end his journey before it truly begins. Fortunately, Fang Yuan possesses an extraordinary gift: he can see the hidden value inside anything—and take it apart. A flawed pill can be stripped of its impurities, leaving only pure medicinal essence. A discarded manual can yield the perfected insights of its creator. Beast bloodlines, spiritual roots, souls, fortune, secret realms, and even the source of an entire world are all resources waiting to be claimed. While other cultivators risk their lives fighting over ancient treasures, Fang Yuan quietly gathers what they leave behind. While his peers celebrate reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, he is already concealing a Golden Core within his dantian. Fang Yuan has no interest in fame, glory, or reckless battles. He refines pills, forges artifacts, develops spiritual lands, and accumulates strength far from the public eye. But a power without limits cannot remain hidden forever. When sects, demons, and eventually the Heavenly Dao itself stand in his way, Fang Yuan discovers that they all obey the same simple rule: If it exists, it can be taken apart. And if it can be taken apart, it can make him stronger.
