Fantasy: I'm in a discarded alchemy room, but I can turn trash into treasure!

Shen Ruoyan raised her head, her eyes reddening, her lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.

In the distance, the eerie blue flames in the direction of Yunyu Mountain burned ever brighter.

The patterns on the surface of the light shield were crumbling, and scattered specks of light fell down the mountainside.

Those are fragments of array patterns, or perhaps they are people.

Qin Mo took a deep breath.

A physical body at the mid-stage of the Iron Bone Realm trying to crash into the Azure Dragon Seal, which is maintained at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, is no different from an ant gnawing at a city gate.

Forcing it won't work.

But no matter how powerful a formation is, it still needs to be maintained by the operation of power.

As long as something is in operation, it will have weaknesses.

The experience gained from dealing with the Heaven Refining Formation last time came to mind.

The Qiankun Dharma Eye can see through the flow of power; it can see meridians and formations.

"I'll give it a try."

Just as Shen Ruoyan stood up to speak, Qin Mo had already closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, golden light shone in his right eye, and dense array patterns appeared deep within his pupil.

The Heaven and Earth Dharma Eye is opened.

His divine sense poured out, piercing through the night sky for hundreds of miles, through the surging blue fire curtain, and reaching the core of the killing formation composed of nine black iron warships.

pain.

A tearing, burning pain shot through his brow, his head buzzed and vibrated, and blood trickled down his nose. He clenched his teeth and remained silent.

He saw it clearly.

Nine thick spiritual energy veins surged from the belly of the warship, converging into a large net.

Spiritual energy surged and converged within the net, moving so fast that it distorted the void.

All nine main veins eventually flow into the same location.

Cang Jiuyou sat cross-legged in the very center.

At the top of the Azure Dragon Seal, that withered figure sat upright like a mountain.

With the support of ten Nascent Soul spiritual powers, the nine warships provided full power.

Anyone who looks at it would think that it's an impregnable fortress, the worst place in the world to go.

But Qin Mo could see it clearly under the watchful eye of the judge.

The nine spiritual energies collided, clashed, and annihilated each other at that point.

On the surface, it appears as stable as Mount Tai, but underneath, it is constantly being consumed, collapsing, and reorganizing.

Cang Jiuyou himself was acting as the regulating hub of the great formation, and his Nascent Soul cultivation forcefully suppressed the collision of the nine spiritual forces.

Once this hub is destroyed, the nine streams of spiritual energy will lose their suppression and explode simultaneously at the same point.

It wasn't just the collapse of the grand formation.

It's an explosion from the inside out.

"Found it..."

As the golden light faded, Qin Mo swayed, his legs went weak, and the world spun around him.

My ears were ringing, and my internal organs felt like they were churning.

Shen Ruoyan rushed over and grabbed his arm.

"Owner!"

"He won't die."

Qin Mo wiped away the blood from his nose, hunched over, and gasped for breath before managing to stand up straight. "The position where Cang Jiuyou is sitting is the Achilles' heel of the entire killing formation. If we blast him off that position, the formation will self-destruct."

Shen Ruoyan's eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again.

"How can we tell the people on the mountain? All the communication talismans have been intercepted by the Azure Dragon Seal, so the message can't get through at all."

Qin Mo looked up at the Cloud Rain Mountain in the distance, which was being swallowed by a sea of ​​dark blue fire, and sweat trickled down his chin.

They couldn't force their way in from the outside.

The sound couldn't reach the intended recipient.

Then there's only one way.

"Don't send a message. I'll go in myself."

"How do we get in? The great formation has locked down the entire area within a hundred miles—"

"Earth veins".

Qin Mo interrupted her, "Beneath the Earth-level alchemy room in Remnant Pill Valley, there's an abandoned, small, secret teleportation passage. You've been the senior sister for so long, you couldn't possibly not know that, could you?"

Shen Ruoyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up.

"That secret passage... was an emergency passage left in the early days of the sect's establishment. The exit is on the third basement level of Pavilion No. 18 in Remnant Pill Valley. But the entrance is not in the mountains, but at the bottom of a dry well three miles east of Yunxia Town."

"Can it be used?"

"Uncertain. That passage has been abandoned for over a hundred years, and the teleportation array may have long since malfunctioned..."

"You'll only know once you try."

Qin Mo had already turned and sped eastward. "Lead the way."

Without further hesitation, Shen Ruoyan followed after them.

The two crossed the barren slopes outside Cloud Town, bypassing the area where the warship's spiritual pressure was most concentrated.

Qin Mo ran fast, but his steps were unsteady. The backlash from the Dharma Eye was still ongoing, and his head felt like it was filled with a lump of iron filings. His temples throbbed with every jump.

Three miles, but it took less than half a cup of tea to cover.

The dry well was located in a patch of weeds.

Half of the wellhead had collapsed, and the well walls were covered with moss, making it dark and impossible to see the bottom.

"This is it."

Shen Ruoyan squatted down, her fingers touching a shallow engraving on the inside of the well wall, and poured spiritual energy into it.

The well wall vibrated slightly, and a faint green light appeared at the bottom, half-bright and half-dark.

"The array is still there, but the supply of spiritual energy has been cut off. It needs to be activated by an external spirit-injecting stone."

Qin Mo took out a handful of high-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and threw them directly into the well.

The sound of the spirit stone shattering came from the bottom, and the eerie green light patterns suddenly brightened by a third before stabilizing.

"Jump."

He didn't give Shen Ruoyan time to react; he touched the edge of the well with his toes and plunged into darkness.

Shen Ruoyan gritted her teeth and jumped down.

The wind whistled past my ears.

The well was deeper than I had imagined; it took me seven or eight breaths to fall to the ground.

Qin Mo squatted down, cleared away the broken array stones, and took out spirit stones from his storage ring, embedding them one by one into the empty array eyes.

When the third spirit stone was inserted, the array platform hummed, its green light surged, and the entire platform trembled.

"There's a response."

Qin Mo stood up. "Come on up."

Shen Ruoyan stepped onto the platform and stood beside him.

Qin Mo then threw in three more high-grade spirit stones.

"Whoosh—"

A burst of spiritual light rose from the soles of their feet, enveloping their figures.

Everything in my field of vision was swallowed by green light, and I felt a sense of weightlessness and my eardrums throbbed.

The next moment, I felt solid ground beneath my feet again.

Dust rushed towards him, causing Qin Mo to cough twice.

He opened his eyes and looked around.

The dark and cramped underground stone chamber had rusty iron racks hanging on the walls, with several broken pill bottles scattered on them.

The air was filled with the strong smell of old erysipelas.

Candan Valley.

The No. 18 Pavilion has three underground floors.

They're in.

A muffled thud and tremor came from overhead, the aftershocks of the Azure Dragon Seal on the scorching array.

The stone slabs beneath my feet shook intermittently, and dust fell down in clumps.

"Walk."

Qin Mo gripped the ancient broken sword tightly and strode towards the passage at the end of the stone chamber.

He has to go up.

We need to find Gu Yingxue and tell her that Cang Jiuyou's location is the key to the great formation.

As long as Hou Yi's arrow from his Sunset Bow hits that spot—

The grand formation is finished.

……

A hundred miles away, on the summit of an unnamed mountain.

Deep in the dense forest, a mummified corpse lay sprawled on the ground, its face contorted, its flesh collapsed and clung to its bones, its life force drained so thoroughly that not even a drop of blood remained.

The woman in the red dress withdrew her right hand, and the black mist at the tips of her ten fingers slowly dissipated.

She exhaled a breath of stale air, closed her eyes, and felt the surging power within her body for a moment before a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

"Three more Golden Core cultivators... The shattering of the Golden Core and transformation into an Infant is just around the corner."

She opened her eyes and turned to look at the dark blue sea of ​​fire on the distant horizon.

The light barrier of the Enchanting Array on Cloud and Rain Mountain has been mostly shattered, and the flames have engulfed the entire mountainside.

"idiot."

The woman in the red dress crossed her arms and spoke softly and slowly, "The righteous people love to fight amongst themselves. Let them fight, the more brutal the better."

The black-armored guards behind her stepped forward: "Holy Maiden, shall we make our move now?"

"What's the rush?"

The woman in the red dress tilted her head, her gaze falling on a collapsing light barrier somewhere in the sea of ​​fire.

"Once they're both exhausted, I'll naturally clean up the mess."
