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

Gu Yingxue's hand froze in mid-air.

The blood-red light on the jade plate continued to expand outwards, and the tremors beneath our feet came wave after wave.

The roar of the earth's veins rose from the base of the mountain, like a ferocious beast awakened from its cage.

But what did she just hear?

The square was filled with the sounds of cracking, screams, and the crackling of the black fire burning the stone slabs.

The voice was only a short sentence, mostly torn apart by the chaos, with only a few words barely reaching her ears.

"...The vital point...an arrow..."

not enough.

She wasn't sure if it was a hallucination or if someone was really shouting.

Qin Mo saw it.

Although Gu Yingxue's hand paused, the bloody light on the jade plate did not fade.

The underground spiritual veins are awakening, and the detonation process has already started halfway; she hasn't completely stopped.

"Shen Ruoyan!"

Qin Mo turned his head and grabbed the woman's wrist. "Do you have any way to send the message directly into her consciousness? She won't hear me even if I shout myself hoarse from this distance!"

Shen Ruoyan's face turned pale, but she did not hesitate.

She bit her tongue, and her hands flew out in a complex hand seal, a golden divine thought shooting out from between her eyebrows.

This is a secret technique unique to the senior sister of Yunyu Palace. At the cost of burning her own divine sense, she forcibly penetrates all interference and imprints her voice deep into the target's consciousness.

The price was that she would be unable to use her divine sense for at least three months.

Golden light shot out from beside Qin Mo, piercing through the aftershocks of the warship's spiritual pressure, the heatwave of the Xuan Fire, and the thick smoke billowing across the plaza, directly entering Gu Yingxue's brow.

"Supreme Elder, stop! Senior Pill King has found the fatal flaw in the great formation!"

The sound exploded right in Gu Yingxue's mind.

She looked as if she had been struck by lightning, and the cloudiness in her eyes suddenly disappeared.

Senior Dan Wang has arrived.

Gu Yingxue abruptly withdrew her right hand from the jade plate.

The crimson light of the bead in the center of the jade plate was expanding wildly, and it was just a moment away from completely detonating the spiritual vein.

She gripped the bead with her five fingers, her spiritual energy surging back, forcefully suppressing the out-of-control power.

"puff……"

A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, splashing onto the jade plate and mixing with the previous mouthful of blood.

The backlash was like a raging, trapped beast rampaging through her meridians, causing her internal organs to churn and her limbs to become so weak that she could barely stand.

But she stopped.

"Supreme Elder!"

Su Qingyi rushed over to help her up.

Gu Yingxue pushed Su Qingyi's hand away, raised her head, and looked straight up at the sky through the smoke and fire.

Cang Jiuyou sat cross-legged on the Azure Dragon Seal, with nine dark golden beams of light flowing into his body from the warship. He was the hub, the center point where the nine torrents of spiritual energy converged and collided.

On the surface, it is as stable as an iron tower.

But Qin Mo said that was the fatal weakness.

"The position where Cang Jiuyou is sitting... is the vital point of the Azure Dragon Locking Heaven Formation."

Shen Ruoyan's voice still echoed in her mind, each word burning painfully, "When Hou Yi's Sunset Bow shattered that node with one arrow, the nine streams of spiritual power, no longer suppressed, would explode at the same point. The formation would collapse from the inside out."

Gu Yingxue took a deep breath.

She forcefully suppressed the bloody taste churning in her chest.

She straightened up, put the jade plate back into her storage ring, and then picked up the Houyi Sunset Bow from her knees.

"Everyone, listen up!"

Her voice was so hoarse it was almost inhuman, yet every word struck the ears of everyone in the square.

"Pour all your remaining spiritual power into this!"

Jiang Yurou was the first to react.

Without saying a word, she placed her palms on the array eye of the square, and poured out the last of her spiritual power, which flowed into the bow along the array patterns.

Xu Qing followed behind, her jaw clenched so tightly that it cracked, and the color drained from her face little by little.

Bai Chenshuang raised her head from in front of the array plate.

Her ten fingers were still embedded in the grooves, and the spaces between them were covered with congealed blood scabs.

Seeing the longbow in Gu Yingxue's hand, she didn't ask anything, only said two words.

"Catch it."

Bai Chenshuang slapped her palms onto the array plate, pouring all her nascent soul power into the core of the array, and forcibly extracted a wisp of dragon energy buried for thousands of years from the deepest spiritual vein at the bottom of Yunyu Mountain.

"boom……"

The array pattern on the square floor was lit up to its maximum.

A crack burst open beneath the stone slab, and a torrent of dragon-shaped spiritual energy burst forth from the ground, carrying scorching heat as it soared into the sky.

Dragon Shadow.

The earth's spiritual energy condensed into a hundred-zhang-long dragon, which circled once above Cloud Rain Mountain before roaring and lunging at Hou Yi's Sunset Bow in Gu Yingxue's hand.

The bow trembled violently.

The array patterns lit up again, more dazzling than ever before.

"Earth veins...dragon energy?"

On the warship, Cang Wuji dropped his folding fan onto the deck. He stared at the churning dragon shadow below, his breathing becoming heavy.

Cang Jiuyou also opened his eyes.

A greedy glint appeared on his gaunt face.

"There's a dragon vein hidden beneath this mountain... Excellent, excellent!"

Instead of being afraid, he burst into laughter.

"Destroy them, and the Dragon Vein will belong to my Azure Dragon Sect! Wuji, this is your key to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Cang Wuji bent down to pick up the folding fan, and the corners of his mouth curled up again.

"Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Ancestor."

No one in the square could hear what they were saying.

Jiang Yurou's spiritual energy was exhausted, her knees buckled, and she fell face down to the ground.

Following closely behind was Xu Qingqing, and then two more Foundation Establishment senior sisters.

One by one they fell down; some fainted, some were severely injured and lay there unable to even lift their hands.

No one is backing out.

Those who could still stand held on, squeezing out their last bit of spiritual energy and pouring it into the array diagram.

"Grandmaster Uncle...it must be successful."

Xu Qingqing lay on the ground, her voice so faint it was like a mosquito's buzz, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Su Qingyi drew her longsword and planted it in the ground to support herself, as the spiritual energy of her golden core was gradually drawn away from her dantian.

She was trembling all over, but she gritted her teeth and refused to sever the connection with the array.

Bai Chenshuang's face had lost all color.

Her nascent soul power was rapidly draining away, and the nascent soul that had just condensed in her dantian was becoming dim.

But she didn't let go.

Hou Yi's Sunset Bow absorbed everyone's power and the earth's dragon energy, and fine cracks began to appear on the bow.

A piercing buzzing sound came from the bowstring, like the howl of a dying beast.

The bow is about to break.

Gu Yingxue is also on the verge of breaking down.

The dragon's energy and the spiritual power of hundreds of people poured into her meridians and then into the bow. Her meridians bulged like earthworms, and blood beads seeped from her skin.

The force was so great that her body simply couldn't withstand it; her bones were cracking and her internal organs were shifting.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, dripping onto her bow arm, where it was evaporated by the scalding spiritual light.

If I don't shoot it out soon, she'll burst from the strain.

Gu Yingxue raised her head.

Through the smoke and firelight, she saw Cang Jiuyou sitting cross-legged.

The withered old ghost was laughing.

They laughed wildly and without restraint.

"Old scoundrel."

Gu Yingxue planted her feet firmly on the ground and sank down.

The bowstring was pulled back to its limit, and cracks spread from the middle of the bow to both ends.

The arrow is not a physical arrow.

It was the earth's dragon energy, the spiritual power of hundreds of disciples, her own nascent soul power, and the star power nurtured by Houyi's Sunset Bow for a thousand years, all condensed onto that one point on the string.

A burst of light erupted from the tip of the bow, illuminating the entire Cloud Rain Mountain.
