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

The stone door to the seclusion chamber closed, cutting off all the sounds of conversation outside.

Shangguan Yue raised her hand and struck several array incantations in quick succession, causing the runes on the wall to light up one by one.

The spiritual energy spread along the ground, even enveloping the rooftop in a protective barrier.

Qin Mo stood still and stared at her for a moment.

"Holy Maiden Shangguan, the bone examination is finished, and I've covered for you. Why are you dragging me in here? What exactly do you want?"

Shangguan Yue had her back to him and raised her hand to adjust her cuffs.

"Fulfill the contract."

"The one I promised you was Wenxiu."

"I was referring to Wenxiu as well."

Qin Mo raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the only jade couch in the room before settling on Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue noticed his gaze and turned around.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

"What were you doing with your hand on your belt just now?"

Qin Mo looked down at his hands and coughed twice.

"I thought you wanted to try a different method of cultivation again."

Shangguan Yue's ears turned red, and she kicked him in the shin.

"Qin Mo, what's going on in your head?"

"You're the one who dragged me in here."

"sit down."

"Is it really just Wen Xiu?"

"Ask one more question, and I'll throw you out of the hall so everyone can see what you're thinking."

Qin Mo immediately walked to the jade couch and sat down.

"Wenxiu is good, Wenxiu is reliable."

Shangguan Yue glared at him and then sat down cross-legged opposite him.

She had only recently broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and had previously made moves in the Desolate Valley and the Azure Dragon Sect. Although her internal energy was abundant, there were still several blockages deep within her meridians.

She used bone-reading to test Qin Mo in the main hall, and had already noticed that the five elements circulation in his body was extremely special.

For ordinary cultivators, stabilizing their cultivation level takes anywhere from a few months to several years.

For Qin Mo, however, there was another path.

"hand."

Shangguan Yue extended both palms.

Qin Mo raised his hand to meet hers.

The moment their palms touched, Shangguan Yue's Nascent Soul aura pressed down upon them.

The Qiankun Huasheng Furnace in Qin Mo's dantian vibrated, and the patterns on the furnace wall lit up layer by layer.

"Don't move."

Shangguan Yue closed her eyes. "Follow my vital energy."

"Don't suppress it so much, I'm only at the fifth level of Qi Refining."

"Your bones are harder than elixir, what are you pretending for?"

"Hard bones and brittle meridians are not contradictory."

"Shut up, focus your energy."

Qin Mo put away his joke and activated the "Qiankun Creation Scripture".

The spiritual energy of the five elements flows out from the dantian and circulates along the meridians.

The vital energy within Shangguan Yue's body then entered, and the two forces bypassed her arms, circulated throughout her body, and returned to the space between her clasped palms.

As soon as the first round of the Great Cycle was completed, the spiritual energy in the secluded room began to converge on the two of them.

second round.

Round three.

The spirit-gathering talismans on the wall lit up one after another, and a low hum came from above the stone chamber.

Outside the door, Bai Chenshuang had just sat back in the main seat when she looked up at the back hall.

Gu Yingxue held the teacup, her hand frozen in mid-air.

"The spiritual energy in the back hall is gathering in the secluded meditation room."

An elder from the Dan Hall walked quickly to the front of the hall and looked up.

Above the rear hall, spiritual energy gathered more and more, gradually forming a swirling current of air.

The windows of the surrounding side halls rattled incessantly in the wind, and the spiritual plants in the courtyard bowed their branches and leaves in the same direction.

"How long has Shangguan Yue been inside with Qin Mo?"

"Less than half an hour."

"Didn't she say she was helping Qin Mo regulate his breathing?"

Gu Yingxue put down her teacup.

"The breathing technique of the Xuantian Immortal Sect is quite a big deal."

Bai Chenshuang did not respond, her gaze fixed on the direction of the secluded training room.

A large number of inner sect female disciples quickly gathered outside the hall.

Someone, clutching a half-delivered spirit fruit, stood at the bottom of the steps and didn't move forward.

Someone stared at the vortex of spiritual energy, the pill bottle in their hand creaking under their grip.

"Junior Brother Qin just returned, and Saintess Shangguan has already taken him away?"

She also said it was just a matter of adjusting her breathing.

"Can adjusting your breathing attract so much spiritual energy?"

"With both Grand Elder Gu and the Sect Master here, she really doesn't take Yunyu Palace seriously at all."

A female disciple lowered her voice: "Could Junior Brother Qin be lured to the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect by her?"

The person next to him didn't answer; the smile on their face had already faded.

Hearing these comments, Gu Yingxue raised her hand and set up a barrier.

"Disperse, everyone."

"Elder, we are just worried about Junior Brother Qin."

"If you're worried, go back and cultivate."

Gu Yingxue looked at the secluded cultivation room. "The person is still in Yunyu Palace; no one can take them away."

Bai Chenshuang picked up the teacup; the tea had already gone cold.

"We'll talk about that when Shangguan Yue comes out."

Inside the secluded training room, Qin Mo's forehead was covered in sweat.

Shangguan Yue's vital energy pressed down wave after wave. His spiritual power, which was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was vast and heavy. If he had not cultivated the Five Elements True Bone and had the Qiankun Transformation Furnace constantly regulating it, an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would have already been unable to withstand it.

The internal energy within the furnace continued to increase.

Forty questions.

Eighty ways.

Three hundred.

Shangguan Yue's shoulders and back tensed up as the sluggish meridians in her body were finally opened up by the Five Elements spiritual power.

Her initially weak aura gradually stabilized, and her nascent soul sat cross-legged deep within her dantian, where the surrounding spiritual energy ceased to surge erratically.

Qin Mo noticed her change and whispered, "Stay calm."

"Don't get distracted."

"You have already completed forty-two major cycles. If you continue to suppress it, the people outside will tear the door down."

Shangguan Yue did not let go.

"Six more rounds."

"You're using me like a magic pill."

"You've also benefited quite a bit."

Qin Mo swept his gaze over the life-transforming furnace in his dantian.

After forty-eight major cycles, a total of one thousand nine hundred and twenty streams of Qiankun Qi were added to the furnace.

This deal is enough for him to reinvent many good things.

As the final round ended, the vortex of spiritual energy above the secluded training room gradually dissipated.

Shangguan Yue opened her eyes and removed her palm from Qin Mo's hand.

She exhaled a breath of stale air, and the fatigue on her face faded.

"The Nascent Soul stage has been fully achieved; the situation is completely stable."

Qin Mo stretched his arms.

"Congratulations, Saintess Shangguan."

Call me Shangguan Yue.

"It's not appropriate to be in the Cloud and Rain Palace."

"You sounded quite natural calling out in the desolate valley."

"That's a special case."

Shangguan Yue stood up and looked down at him.

"Qin Mo, come back to the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect with me."

Qin Mo looked up.

"You're here again?"

"Yunyu Palace can't keep you here. Candan Valley made you a servant for seven years, and there are still people in the sect who want to harm you. Bai Chenshuang and Gu Yingxue can protect you for a while, but they can't protect you forever."

"Is the Xuantian Immortal Sect safe?"

"At least we have enough resources, enough cultivation techniques, and enough Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Where is Xiao Tianci?"

Shangguan Yue's face darkened.

"He has nothing to do with me anymore."

"You called off the engagement?"

"The letter of annulment was sent to the Xuantian Immortal Sect long ago."

"Is Xiao Tianci willing?"

Whether he wants to or not is not up to him to decide.

Qin Mo stood up and patted the wrinkles on his robe.

"Shangguan Yue, are you planning to take me back and hide me away?"

"I'm taking you back so you can enter the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect standing up."

"Did the elders agree?"

"If they won't agree, I'll make them agree."

Qin Mo looked at her, remaining silent for a long time.

Shangguan Yue took a step forward and grabbed his wrist.

You don't need to answer now.

"Then why did you arrest me?"

"I'm afraid you'll run away."

"I'm in the Cloud and Rain Palace, where can I run to?"

"You ran it once."

Just as Qin Mo was about to speak, Shangguan Yue had already opened the stone door.

The area outside the rear hall was packed with people.

Bai Chenshuang sat in the hall, while Gu Yingxue stood in front of the steps, and the gazes of more than ten elders all pressed down on them.

Shangguan Yue pulled Qin Mo to the center of the main hall and looked up at Bai Chenshuang.

"Sect Master Bai, I'll take Qin Mo to the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect."
