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

Shangguan Yue grabbed Qin Mo's wrist and glanced at the women in front of her.

"Get out of the way. Qin Mo is mine tonight, and I'm taking him away now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Yue dragged Qin Mo away.

She didn't use much force, but Qin Mo still couldn't pull away.

Shen Ruoyan stepped forward, her sword sheath positioned between the two: "The Xuantian Immortal Sect has to ask Yunyu Palace before they can bring anyone here."

Her palm pressed down on the hilt of the sword.

Su Qingyi raised her sword hilt: "Qin Mo is an inner disciple of Yunyu Palace, he cannot go with you today."

Her shoulders and back were ramrod straight.

Leng Qingqiu stepped in front of Qin Mo: "If you want to touch him, you'll have to get past my sword first."

Her thumb pressed against the sword guard.

Cang Wuyue did not draw her sword, but pressed her palm against the Azure Dragon Ancestor's command: "Shangguan Yue, give me a reason."

The wound on her shoulder started bleeding again.

Hua Meiniang also wanted to step forward, but as soon as she lifted her foot, her injury pulled her to a stop.

Qin Mo reached out and pressed her down: "Step back."

Shangguan Yue glanced at everyone, then her gaze returned to Qin Mo's face: "I'm only taking him with me today. Anyone who gets in my way will have to kneel."

She raised her left hand, and the Xuan Tian Dao Domain spread out from beneath her feet.

The spiritual energy of the long street was forced back to the ground, and the blue bricks cracked one after another.

Shen Ruoyan's knee slammed into the brick, and the sword sheath slipped from her hand.

Su Qingyi supported herself with her palms on the ground, her shoulders and back bent under the weight.

Leng Qingqiu's longsword was stuck into the crack in the brick, and the blade trembled incessantly.

Cang Wuyue gritted her teeth, keeping the Ancestral Master's Decree close to the ground.

All four Golden Core prodigies knelt down on one knee.

Jiang Miaoyin, Xie Wufeng, Lei Qianyao, and others nearby were also covered by the Dao Domain.

Some people knelt on both knees, while others struggled to hold on with the support of ritual implements.

The area in front of Lanyue Pavilion immediately became shorter.

Qin Mo remained standing.

The Qiankun Transformation Furnace in his dantian spun once, and the power pressing down on him was swallowed up.

The surrounding sounds ceased, and all eyes fell upon him.

Gu Yingxue walked out of the pavilion and raised her palm to block Qin Mo: "Withdraw your Dao Domain."

Her nascent soul energy rose around her, and the stone table in the courtyard was pushed half a foot away by the airflow.

Shangguan Yue raised her eyes: "You want to fight me in Xuantian City?"

With a slight turn of her wrist, the Xuan Tian Dao Domain pressed back half a step.

Gu Yingxue's sleeves fluttered: "Qin Mo is a disciple of Yunyu Palace. The Xuantian Immortal Sect brought people here, so they need to give an explanation."

Shangguan Yue looked at Qin Mo: "He can choose for himself."

Qin Mo transmitted his voice, "Elder Gu, suppress your aura first. If she really wanted to take someone away, she would have knocked me unconscious just now. If we make a scene now, she must have something else on her mind."

Gu Yingxue turned her head to look at him, her brows furrowed.

Qin Mo then transmitted his voice again: "I'll go with her. Xuan Tian City has a law enforcement department; she won't dare to act recklessly."

Gu Yingxue remained silent for two breaths before withdrawing her energy: "If you lose even a single hair, I will go to the Xuantian Immortal Sect to demand your return."

She raised her hand and gestured, causing the nascent soul energy to retreat back into her body.

Shangguan Yue also withdrew her Dao Domain.

The people kneeling on the ground got up one after another, their robes covered with broken bricks, and the palms of several of them were already scratched.

Shen Ruoyan straightened up, leaning on her sword, her breathing heavy: "You're really going with her?"

The tip of her sword grazed the ground.

Qin Mo pried Shangguan Yue's hand off his wrist: "I'll go take a look. The winnings from the betting have been put away; you don't need to worry about them."

He turned to Hua Meiniang, Cang Wuyue, and Leng Qingqiu: "Twenty-three storage rings, and my multiple identities—don't tell anyone about them."

His hand rested on his waist: "If anyone asks about the Masked Pill King, Fang Aoyun, and the Azure Dragon Ancestor's Token, just say you don't know anything about them."

Hua Meiniang raised her hand to cover her shoulder injury: "Don't worry, Master."

Cang Wuyue nodded.

Leng Qingqiu gripped the sword hilt tightly, her face still grim.

Shangguan Yue raised her hand, and the Xuan Tian Breaking Boundary Shuttle fell from mid-air.

The sliding door opened, and silvery light shone across the long street.

Su Qingyi took a step forward, supporting herself with her sword: "Qin Mo, don't die in the Lost Realm."

Her hand tensed up.

Qin Mo turned to look at her: "I'm still waiting to see you get the Heavenly Fetus Fruit."

Su Qingyi did not respond.

Qin Mo stepped through the shuttle gate.

Shangguan Yue followed behind, glanced back at Gu Yingxue, and then left with the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle.

After the Dao Domain dissipated, Su Qingyi stood in place.

She looked down at the cracked blue brick beneath her knees, her fingers digging into the hilt of her sword.

"I will definitely get the Heavenly Child Fruit."

She raised her face, her voice carrying far: "After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, no one can take Qin Mo away in front of me anymore."

Shen Ruoyan glanced at her but remained silent.

At another base, Cang Wuji placed Cang Xuanjun's body in the hall.

Cang Tianyou knelt before the door, his shoulders still trembling: "Sect Master, the Chief decided to accept the judgment himself; I only offered a few words of advice."

Cang Wuji raised his palm and pressed down, the force of his palm striking Cang Tianyou's chest.

Cang Tianyou coughed up blood, his body crashed into the wall, and slid down the base of the wall.

Cang Wuji stared at him: "Who gave you permission to instigate him from the audience?"

Cang Tianyou clutched his chest, his mouth full of blood and foam.

Cang Wuji turned around with a flick of his sleeve: "Take him away to recover. Fill the three vacant spots in the Forbidden Realm tonight."

The Canglong Sect disciples in the hall lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.

Inside the Xuan Tian Breaking Boundary Shuttle, the stone door closed, cutting off all outside sounds.

Qin Mo released his wrist and stared at Shangguan Yue: "Can you talk now? What exactly do you want to do with me after you took me away?"

Shangguan Yue did not answer.

She raised her hand and set up several layers of restrictions, then took out a pool of snow-white jade.

The jade pool sits in the center of the secret chamber, filled with silver moon marrow, with spiritual light flowing along the pool walls.

As Qin Mo took a few steps closer, he felt a warmth emanating from his bones.

Shangguan Yue tapped on the edge of the pool: "Moon Marrow Tempering Pool, something the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect prepares for its core disciples. Go in."

Qin Mo looked at her: "For me to use?"

"Your current physical body is still missing one final stage."

Shangguan Yue raised her eyes, "Before entering the Primordial Ruins, strengthen your bones a bit more."

Qin Mo didn't move: "You blocked Gu Yingxue for me and offered these resources, surely your only condition isn't just taking me away?"

Shangguan Yue lowered her hand: "I'll tell you after I get out of the ruins alive."

Qin Mo's Adam's apple bobbed: "You came back alive, and you get to practice martial arts once?"

Shangguan Yue looked at him: "This time, as you said, it's martial arts cultivation."

"You agreed?"

She tapped Yu Chi: "Enough nonsense. If you come out alive, I'll personally accompany you."

Qin Mo took off his outer robe and sat cross-legged in the pool.

The moon marrow flowed over the knees, and the heat drilled upwards along the joints, causing the five elements of the true bones to emit low sounds in succession.

Shangguan Yue stood by the pool, her gaze fixed on him: "Don't be so smug. There are more people in the Lost Realm watching you than in Xuan Tian City."

Qin Mo kept his eyes closed, but his words were still sharp: "You've given me a taste of sweetness, and now you expect me to risk my life for you?"

Shangguan Yue reached out and pressed down on the restriction: "You don't have to eat it."

Qin Mo opened his eyes: "I'll eat. Remember about the martial arts cultivation."

Shangguan Yue leaned closer to the edge of the pool, her voice low: "Bring back your life, and I won't renege on my promise."

Qin Mo closed his eyes again, and the Qiankun Transformation Furnace spun within his dantian, allowing the lunar marrow to flow into the Five Elements True Bones along his meridians.

The only sound in the sealed room was the flowing water of the pool.

Shangguan Yue stood to the side, waiting for him to complete the bone tempering.
