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

The flying boat pierced through the clouds, and the shimmering light trailing behind it was scattered by the mountain wind.

Qin Mo handed the array plate to Yu Ce.

"Follow this direction and reach Yunxia Town before dawn."

Yu Ce took the array plate and asked in a low voice, "Master, will the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader come after us?"

"He's fighting with the people from the Xuantian Immortal Sect and can't help us."

Leng Qingqiu leaned against the side of the cabin, her face still looking rather pale.

"When Nascent Soul cultivators clash remotely, the entire area within a hundred miles could be affected. Do you still dare to stay here?"

Qin Mo did not answer.

Five golden pills were already placed in front of him.

The gold and wood coins were from previously acquired spoils of war.

Steward Zhou's Water Elixir, Fang Aoyun's Earth Elixir, and Cang Juexing's Fire Elixir perfectly complement the Five Elements.

Cang Wuyue recognized the crimson golden pill and his throat moved.

"From the Azure Star?"

"Um."

"Are you planning to use it for cultivation?"

"Things left behind by the dead will always come in handy."

Qin Mo raised his hand and summoned the Qiankun Transformation Furnace.

The furnace lid opened, and the five golden pills, drawn in, flew into the furnace simultaneously.

Leng Qingqiu stared at the bronze furnace for a few moments.

"Can your magical artifact wash away the lingering resentment within the Golden Core?"

"Cold Saintess, knowing too much can easily cause trouble."

"You've already dragged me into so much trouble, what's one more thing?"

"Then sit further away."

A low, rumbling vibration came from the furnace.

The five spiritual energies clashed with each other, causing the tables and chairs in the cabin to shake.

Yu Ce hurriedly activated the protective array to prevent the flying boat from deviating from its course.

Qin Mo activated the "Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique".

The golden elixir dissolved one by one.

Five streams of spiritual energy surged into his limbs and bones, producing a series of crisp cracking sounds.

The iron bones, previously tempered by the Nascent Soul's true essence, are now being repeatedly washed by the five-colored spiritual power.

Before the first round of operation was even over, Qin Mo's robes were already soaked with sweat.

Cang Wuyue leaned against the side of the boat and stood up.

"Master, should we stop?"

"Sit back down."

"These five golden pills have conflicting attributes. If we continue refining them, our meridians will not be able to withstand it."

Qin Mo gritted his teeth and pressed his palm against the stove lid.

"My meridians are not for them to dictate."

The Qiankun Transformation Furnace accelerated its rotation.

The mutually repelling spiritual energies were crushed by the furnace fire and flowed back into Qin Mo's body.

Metal Qi enters the lungs, Wood Qi enters the liver, Water and Fire separate, and Earth Qi sinks into the spleen.

The cycle of the five elements has finally taken shape.

Several tears appeared in the fabric on Qin Mo's back, revealing five-colored patterns moving back and forth beneath his skin.

With each lap, the bones feel heavier.

The barrier of the mid-stage Iron Bone Realm lasted for less than ten breaths.

Click!

A muffled thud came from Qin Mo's body.

The five elements of spiritual energy residing in the bones stabilized, and the originally gray-black iron bones gained five different colors of luster, which connected with each other and permeated the whole body.

Late stage of Iron Bone Realm.

The Five Elements True Bone technique has begun to take shape.

When Qin Mo finished his practice, two footprints had already been left on the cabin floor.

Leng Qingqiu looked down and her eyelids twitched a few times.

"You're really at the fifth level of Qi Refining?"

"Almost the sixth floor."

"Is that what I asked?"

"So what do you want to ask?"

Leng Qingqiu was speechless for a long time after being blocked.

Cang Wuyue looked at the two footprints and tightened her grip on her sword.

She originally thought that restoring her Golden Core cultivation would be of some help to Qin Mo.

It seems that if a real fight breaks out, she probably wouldn't even be able to withstand one punch from Qin Mo.

As dawn broke, the flying boat landed outside Yunxia Town.

Qin Mo instructed Yu Ce to take Zhao Shi to the Drunken Flower Pavilion and left behind two bottles of healing pills.

Cang Wuyue clasped her hands and said, "Master, I will come to find you after I have settled my mother."

"Stabilize your cultivation first. The Azure Dragon Sect was just breached by the Heavenly Demon Sect, and there must be quite a few who escaped. If you show your face, trouble will come knocking on your door."

"That Cang Wuji..."

"As long as he's alive, he can't escape this debt."

Leng Qingqiu was also preparing to leave.

She took a few steps, then turned around.

"Qin Mo, my natal flying sword and storage bracelet are still in that masked man's hands."

"Then go find him."

I'll find out who he is sooner or later.

Qin Mo dusted off his sleeves.

"Remember to let me know if you find out; I'd like to meet them too."

Leng Qingqiu stared at him for a while, then ascended into the air on her sword.

Qin Mo waited until she was far away before taking out the inner gate token of Yunyu Palace from the space of the Transformation Furnace.

He didn't wear the black iron mask when he returned to the mountain this time.

He followed the mountain path to the gate of Yunyu Palace, where the two female disciples guarding the gate initially paid no attention.

Only when they saw the inner gate token at his waist did one of them drop the roster in his hand to the ground.

"Qin Mo?"

Another person quickly approached.

"It really is Junior Brother Qin!"

The sound traveled up the stone steps.

People started coming out of the doors of several side halls nearby.

Before long, the area in front of the mountain gate was surrounded by disciples of Yunyu Palace.

"Wasn't he missing?"

"Grandmaster Gu searched for him for many days, even turning the Remnant Pill Valley upside down."

"Junior Brother Qin, where have you been?"

"Step aside, I need to talk to Junior Brother Qin."

"You were calling him a handyman last month, what are you saying now?"

Several female cultivators crowded around Qin Mo, their perfume scent filling his nostrils.

Some people offered him spiritual fruits, some offered him pills, and some even reached out to tug at his sleeve.

"Junior Brother Qin, a new spirit-gathering array has been added to my cave. Would you like to go take a look?"

"Does the door need to be closed to view the spirit-gathering array?"

"What's it to you?"

Qin Mo raised his hand to protect his belt and forced his way through the crowd.

"Senior sisters, I'm going to see the sect leader first. We can talk again after I finish this important business."

Immediately someone shouted from behind, "When will it be finished?"

Are you free tonight?

"Junior Brother Qin, I'll leave the door open for you!"

Qin Mo's pace quickened.

Inside the Cloud and Rain Hall, more than ten elders sat on both sides.

Bai Chenshuang held a communication jade talisman, her brows furrowed for a long time.

"The Azure Dragon Sect just experienced a major battle, and Qin Mo's aura disappeared there. Continue sending people to search."

The tea beside Gu Yingxue had long since gone cold.

"I'll go myself."

"Your injuries haven't healed yet."

"If we wait any longer, even the living will turn into corpses."

The voices of the gatekeepers could be heard from outside the hall.

"Sect Master, Qin Mo requests an audience."

Gu Yingxue had already stood up.

The palace doors opened, and Qin Mo stepped across the threshold, immediately drawing the attention of more than a dozen pairs of eyes.

Bai Chenshuang put down the jade talisman.

"So you finally decided to come back?"

Gu Yingxue walked down the steps and reached out to grab his wrist.

"Your Qi and blood are stable, and your bone strength has increased. Where have you been?"

"I have been in seclusion."

Bai Chenshuang stared at his dusty robes.

"Can one really go into seclusion all the way to the Azure Dragon Sect's territory?"

Qin Mo cleared his throat.

"There's an abandoned teleportation array behind the Remnant Pill Valley. I went in to find a place to cultivate in seclusion, but I accidentally touched the array's core. When I woke up, I was already in the desolate mountains."

An elder frowned and asked, "Then why didn't you send a message?"

"The storage bag fell into a ravine, and the communication talisman is also lost."

Gu Yingxue raised her eyes.

"What kind of mountain valley could trap a cultivator at the Iron Bone Realm?"

Qin Mo paused for a moment.

"I'm not familiar with the area."

"Lost?"

"almost."

The elders inside the hall exchanged glances.

Bai Chenshuang pressed her palm against the table.

"Qin Mo, you'd better rewrite it."

A cold laugh came from the rear.

"Let him make it up; the story isn't even coherent yet."

A figure in white walked around the screen.

Qin Mo paused for a moment when he saw who it was.

As white as jade.

Shangguan Yue walked to the center of the main hall and pointed at Qin Mo.

"Stop pretending, reclusive alchemist king, or should I call you Qin Mo?"

Gu Yingxue stopped gripping Qin Mo's wrist.

The teacup in front of Bai Chenshuang was overturned on the table.

All the elders in the hall turned their heads, and no one spoke.
