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

The silver light from the Moon Marrow Pool pressed down on Qin Mo's chest, and with each rise and fall of the pool water, the Five Elements True Bones emitted a muffled sound.

Shangguan Yue sat cross-legged on the edge of the pool, her hands pressing against his palms.

The chaotic primordial energy entered Qin Mo's body through the point of contact, pushing the violent power of the lunar marrow inch by inch along the meridians.

"Guard the divine aperture."

Shangguan Yue's palm struck down.

Qin Mo clenched his teeth, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He pushed the "Qiankun Creation Scripture" to its limit, and the Qiankun Transformation Furnace rotated in his dantian. The surging chaotic primordial energy was separated by the furnace fire and transformed into the five elements of spiritual power that rushed into his bones.

This force is too great.

Qin Mo's shoulders and back were taut in a straight line, his fascia repeatedly torn open and then closed again during the circulation of his internal energy.

With each flush, a soft cracking sound emanates from deep within the joints.

"Let's hold on for one more round."

Shangguan Yue stared at his face.

Qin Mo looked up at her, his voice squeezed out through clenched teeth: "Of course it's easy for you to talk while sitting by the pool."

Shangguan Yue tightened her grip on his wrist with her five fingers, pressing her vital energy into him again: "You can leave now."

The pool water immediately surged towards Qin Mo's chest, and the silver light penetrated his meridians.

Qin Mo's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

He's not stupid enough to actually climb out of the pool.

The power of the lunar marrow surged within his body, and the Qiankun Transformation Furnace bore the brunt of the pressure.

Qin Mo circulated his cultivation technique repeatedly, pushing his Five Elements True Bone to its limit, and a heavy force gradually emerged from deep within his bones.

The seventh round.

The eighth round.

When the final round ended, Qin Mo suddenly shuddered.

A muffled thud came from inside the bone.

The five elements of true bones lit up simultaneously, and the violent power within the lunar marrow was completely suppressed into the bone crevices.

The Qiankun Transformation Furnace spun around a few times, and 640 more strands of Qiankun Qi appeared inside.

Qin Mo opened his eyes and braced himself against the edge of the pool with both hands.

Several fine cracks appeared on the stone platform by the pool.

Iron Bones and Extreme Realm.

He raised his arm, his fist pausing in mid-air for a moment.

At this point, his bones and fascia were strong enough to withstand even the most powerful spiritual artifacts. A Golden Core cultivator could no longer suppress him with his physical body.

Shangguan Yue withdrew her hands, her expression paler than before.

The hidden injuries left by forcibly activating the Xuan Tian Breaking Boundary Shuttle were mostly repaired by taking advantage of the opportunity to guide the chaotic primordial energy.

Her internal energy was calm, and her cultivation level remained at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, with no further advancement in her realm.

Qin Mo wiped the sweat from his chin: "You used my vital energy to heal your injuries, you didn't lose out at all."

"Each takes what they need."

Shangguan Yue lowered her arm.

Her voice remained calm, but her shoulders and back relaxed a bit.

The injury pressing on the meridians finally stopped affecting the divine sense.

Qin Mo stood up from the Moon Marrow Pool, his robes clinging to his body, silver water droplets falling down his sleeves.

He stared at Shangguan Yue for a few moments, then said directly, "Give me your dual cultivation technique."

Shangguan Yue frowned: "You haven't given up yet?"

"I'll use 640 strands of Qiankun Qi to heal your injuries in exchange for a different cultivation technique. That's perfectly reasonable."

"That technique must not be passed on to outsiders."

Qin Mo wrung out his soaked outer robe: "You always say that."

Shangguan Yue raised her eyes: "If you hand over the secret technique, I will let you live longer."

Qin Mo tossed his outer robe aside: "If you get the secret technique, I won't live much longer."

The room fell silent.

Shangguan Yue looked at him, her hands tightening on her knees.

She did consider forcibly searching Qin Mo's soul, but Qin Mo had too many secrets, and the Qiankun Furnace was something she couldn't touch.

If you really drive someone to their doom, she'll be the one who suffers in the end.

You'll have to beg me sooner or later.

She got up and walked to the stone gate.

Qin Mo put on clean robes: "I won't come that day."

Shangguan Yue glanced back at him, then raised her hand to release the restriction.

As dawn broke, a large expanse of white light appeared in the sky above Xuantian City.

After the white light spread out, a projection of a heavenly gate appeared above the city.

The gate towers high into the clouds, with twelve gates arranged in the center, each engraved with different array patterns.

The sound traveled throughout the city from the projection on the Tianmen Gate.

"The outer realm of the Primordial Ruins has opened, and the Twelve Palaces of Xuantian are open at the same time."

"Those who possess the Golden Passage Token may enter the Palace Trial. Only by passing through the twelve Palaces can one enter the core of the Lost Realm."

The cultivators in the city came out of their residences and looked up at the sky.

People from various posts kept rushing to the square, and the sound of magical artifacts cutting through the air could be heard one after another.

The communication talisman at Qin Mo's waist began to vibrate.

Shen Ruoyan's voice rang out: "Qin Mo, return to the team. The array platform will be activated immediately."

Qin Mo picked up the communication talisman: "I understand, I've already left."

He had just stepped out of the secret room when Shangguan Yue approached from the side.

She held three snow-white jade talismans in her hand, their surfaces embossed with fine gold patterns.

"Take it."

She handed the jade talisman to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo took the jade talisman and examined it briefly: "A substitute talisman for calamity?"

"When faced with an inevitable defeat, crush one."

"How many times can you shield me?"

"One per item."

Qin Mo carefully put away the three jade talismans, then looked up at her: "When did you become so generous?"

Shangguan Yue pressed her palm against the stone door: "Stop talking nonsense, come back alive."

Qin Mo turned and took a few steps, then stopped: "You can continue to think about the dual cultivation technique."

Shangguan Yue raised an eyebrow slightly: "Get lost."

Qin Mo smiled and quickened his pace to leave.

The North Square of Xuantian City was already filled with cultivators.

As the group from Yunyu Palace approached the array platform, Shen Ruoyan immediately came to greet them.

She grabbed Qin Mo's sleeve and pulled him from the crowd to the front of the line.

"You went to the Xuantian Immortal Sect and didn't even reply to my telepathic message."

Her palms did not loosen.

Qin Mo glanced down at his cuffs: "Well, I'm back now."

Gu Yingxue stood by the array platform, her gaze sweeping over Qin Mo.

She noticed that Qin Mo's breathing was more steady, and his shoulders and back were much straighter than before he left.

Qin Mo handed the golden token to the guiding cultivator.

The golden patterns on the golden token lit up, and a white pillar of light rose from the center of the array platform.

Su Qingyi stood at the back of the group, her gaze fixed on Qin Mo, her hand resting on the sword sheath.

She wanted to speak, but in the end she just pursed her lips.

The cultivators on the platform took their places one after another.

Just as Qin Mo was about to step into the pillar of light, a gray-robed rogue cultivator suddenly approached from behind.

The man carried an old sword, his aura was at the Foundation Establishment level, and his stance was quite ordinary.

Surrounded by a crowd of cultivators, he leaned close to Qin Mo's back and patted Qin Mo's shoulder.

A dull force came from my shoulder bone.

Qin Mo turned his face to the side, revealing a section of dark silver pattern under his sleeve.

He had seen this pattern before in Xuantian City.

The secret guards of the Xiao family's main branch have this mark on their sleeves.

Qin Mo's shoulders tensed suddenly, and he clenched his fists behind him: "Xiao Yue."

The gray-robed hermit did not answer.

A black talisman was pasted on Qin Mo's shoulder, and the runes had already begun to burn.

Two ancient characters appeared, which were the missing characters.

Qin Mo gripped the other's wrist with his five fingers, and at the same time, the white light of the teleportation array shot up.

Xiao Yue twisted his wrist, and the force surged through Qin Mo's body from his shoulder.

The figures on the platform were swallowed up by the white light.

Qin Mo only had time to take out a substitute talisman before he heard a series of booming sounds.

Losing their footing, their bodies were pulled away by the teleportation force.

As the talisman burned to its last crumb, black ash stuck to his clothes.

When Qin Mo opened his eyes again, his knees were slammed onto the hard stone surface.

The stench of blood assaulted my nostrils.

He propped himself up, feeling a cracking sensation under his palm.

Looking down, I saw half a skeleton lying beside me, with dried blood still clinging to the crevices.

The surrounding area was littered with corpses and bones.

The mountains of corpses piled up one after another, and the stone steps of the altar were completely covered with dark red bloodstains.

A gust of wind swept in from above, carrying a putrid smell. Qin Mo felt a wave of nausea and raised his hand to press down on his throat.

The communication talisman is no longer responding.

Gu Yingxue, Shen Ruoyan, Su Qingyi, and all the cultivators on the array platform had disappeared.
