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

Yunyu Palace, within the Yunyu Secret Realm.

"Keep collecting spiritual herbs, keep refining them, I refuse to believe we can't refine this Nascent Soul Pill!"

The woman in white, sitting cross-legged in front of the giant alchemy furnace, gritted her teeth, her voice hoarse.

"Yes, Uncle-Master."

Bai Chenshuang stood to the side, her face extremely solemn, her hands unconsciously clenching her sleeves.

Without refining the Nascent Soul Pill, no one in the Cloud Rain Palace can reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

Although there were many disciples in the palace, none of them had the talent and opportunity to support that final step of transformation.

Without a Nascent Soul cultivator to oversee them, the Azure Dragon Sect could potentially swallow them up at any time.

Those enemies who have long coveted the spiritual veins of Yunyu Palace are probably already sharpening their knives, just waiting for the right opportunity.

Their ancestor, whose lifespan had been exhausted half a month ago, had quietly passed away.

The news was kept under tight control, with the only explanation being that the ancestor was in seclusion. But secrets can't stay hidden forever, and as time went on, those with a keen eye would notice something amiss.

Originally, the ancestor should have died more than ten years ago, but it was her senior uncle, the Supreme Elder Gu Yingxue, who did her best to refine a life-extending pill, which forcibly extended the ancestor's lifespan by more than ten years.

That time, my uncle lost half of his foundation, and his cultivation never improved again, but he never uttered a single complaint.

However, the laws of heaven and earth cannot be defied, and even Nascent Soul Realm experts cannot escape their inevitable end.

"Su Qingyi has a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root and cultivates the Forget-Heart Technique, which allows her to sever all emotional ties and make continuous progress."

Gu Yingxue spoke, her tone calm, "Keep a close eye on her. All men are obstacles on her path of cultivation. As long as she doesn't let love hold her back, it won't be long before she becomes the second Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator of my Cloud Rain Palace."

This was their backup plan.

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master. Su Qingyi is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. She should be able to emerge from seclusion in about half a month."

Bai Chenshuang said in a low voice.

"But we can't wait that long."

Gu Yingxue pondered for a moment, "I need to start another furnace before the palace gate competition. I'll gather all the spiritual herbs and give it another shot."

"Yes, disciple will arrange for people to go down the mountain tonight to purchase them."

Bai Chenshuang bowed and turned to leave.

After the footsteps disappeared, Gu Yingxue swayed, her face turned deathly pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood onto the bluestone ground in front of the alchemy furnace.

She clutched her chest, gasping for breath.

"I never imagined that even after exhausting all my strength, even at the cost of depleting my vital energy to ignite the earth's fire to refine pills, I would still fail."

Although the previous batch failed, at least a useless pill was condensed.

All the medicinal herbs in this batch were refined into dregs, and not even a single waste pill could be formed.

"Is it true that only a Pill King can refine the Nascent Soul Pill?"

She was only one step away from becoming a Pill King, but she had been unable to take that step for decades.

"Sitting here is pointless; we might as well go for a walk."

Gu Yingxue propped herself up and walked unsteadily toward the spiritual spring deep within the secret realm, preparing to bathe, change clothes, and go out for a stroll.

……

Remnant Pill Valley, Remnant Pill Pavilion No. 18.

Qin Mo resealed the discarded Nascent Soul Pill back into the cabinet, activated the Spirit Locking Array, and returned the jade talisman to its place.

Six hundred streams of Qiankun Qi.

Don't even think about it for now.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and took out the bronze slip from his storage bag.

It was something he bought from Luo Zhengnan at the market for two miscellaneous spirit stones.

The Transformation Furnace has been examined and found to contain the basic cultivation method of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, the Hunyuan Devouring Heaven Technique Basic Chapter.

Without further hesitation, he placed the bronze slip into the Qiankun Huasheng Furnace.

A line of words appeared on the furnace wall: "Transfer of Power Bronze Slip, Fragmented Weapon, Consumes Eighteen Streams of Qiankun Qi, Can Be Reforged into a Low-Grade Spiritual Weapon."

The ancient immortal sects were indeed generous, even the most basic bronze slips for transmitting skills were spiritual artifacts.

"Recast".

Eighteen streams of cosmic energy surged forth, enveloping the bronze slip.

As the rusted surface peels away, a shimmering light shines through, and the bronze tablet is restored to its former glory.

The words reappeared on the furnace wall: Transmission of Skill Bronze Slip, made of purple-gold black copper, low-grade spiritual artifact.

"A purple-gold and black-bronze slip?"

Qin Mo was taken aback.

The method of refining purple-gold and black copper into transmission bronze tablets is a unique inheritance method of ancient immortal sects. This refining method has long been lost in the world today.

He reached out and took out the recast bronze tablet, bit his fingertip, and dripped his blood onto it.

The next moment, a strange connection was established between him and the bronze tablet.

The moment the thought probed in, a complete cultivation technique flooded into the mind.

"The Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique, Body Refinement Chapter... and Foundation Establishment Chapter too?"

Qin Mo trembled all over.

Although it is only a basic technique, it is the basic technique of the ancient Hunyuan Immortal Sect.

He couldn't wait to start studying it.

The Body Refinement Chapter is divided into four realms: Mortal Body Realm, Copper Skin Realm, Iron Bone Realm, and Golden Body Realm.

One who cultivates their physical body in the Mortal Realm can suppress a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

The copper skin tempers the skin and muscles, making it difficult to be injured by swords and spears. When it reaches its peak, it can withstand the attacks of the Foundation Establishment stage and the early stages of the Golden Core stage.

The Iron Bone Realm reshapes the skeleton, giving one copper skin and iron bones; at its peak, it can suppress even the Golden Core.

In the Golden Body Realm, the entire body's muscles, bones, and flesh transform into gold and iron, making the golden body indestructible. At the Great Completion Realm, a single punch can shatter a mountain, and a Nascent Soul appears as if it were made of paper in front of them.

There are no more cultivation techniques after reaching the Golden Body Realm.

Qin Mo's heart leaped into his throat after reading it.

Can a fully-developed Golden Body technique overpower a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Is this just a basic body-refining technique?

How incredibly powerful would the full version be?

With this technique in hand, I have the world at my command.

Given time, why shouldn't he be able to crush those high and mighty inner sect senior sisters?

Su Qingyi kicked him away back then, and one day she'll have to see for herself what she really missed.

We'll have to find the next training method later.

I should take the time to explore the ruins of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect. What others consider junk might be treasures in his eyes.

Qin Mo put away the bronze slip, stood up from the ground, and looked at the densely packed wall cabinets on the surrounding walls of the Remnant Pill Pavilion.

Ninety-three strands of Qiankun Qi were used to recast the bronze tablet, eighteen of which were used, leaving seventy-five strands remaining.

It's being consumed too quickly.

He needs to quickly recreate a batch of pills and then implement his plan to exchange pills for the Qi of Heaven and Earth.

The Transformation Furnace can conceal his aura, so even Golden Core cultivators cannot see through his true nature. Therefore, he can pretend to be a reclusive master when he goes out to trade.

High risk?

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

He glanced around at the cabinets, a grin spreading across his face.

These discarded pills are now all his.

"Let's start from the right."

Qin Mo walked to the right wall and took down the sealing talisman from the first cabinet.

The runes dissipated, the spirit-locking array failed, and he opened the cabinet door.

A plume of black smoke shot out.

After the black mist dissipated, a jade box was found inside.

Qin Mo carefully took it out, opened the box, and the poison gushed out.

The Qiankun Transformation Furnace flew out of the body and devoured the surging poison.

Inside the box, three discarded pills, shrouded in black mist, lay quietly.

Qin Mo picked up a pill, and the moment his fingertips touched it, words appeared on the furnace wall: Foundation Establishment Pill, Waste Pill, can be reshaped by consuming thirty strands of Qiankun Qi.

Opening the first cabinet resulted in three useless Foundation Establishment Pills?

Qin Mo was both surprised and delighted, but his expression immediately darkened.

Thirty strands of Qiankun Qi reshape a body?

Seventy-five strands of Qiankun Qi, at most enough to reshape only two.

This consumption is too high; it's impossible to produce in large quantities.

However, the Foundation Establishment Pill is a crucial elixir before Foundation Establishment, and a single pill can fetch an astronomical price outside.

Two are enough for him to move on to the next step of his plan.

Without further hesitation, Qin Mo threw the two Foundation Establishment Pills into the Qiankun Transformation Furnace.

"Reshape".
