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

The first purple line lit up on the Dragon Soul Pearl.

A deep roar immediately came from the depths of the Thunder Cave.

The rock strata beneath our feet trembled continuously, and magma spewed out from the cracks.

The thunder beasts that had been surrounding the area all stopped.

They raised their heads, and their scales unfolded one by one.

The next moment, the herd of beasts turned and rushed towards the cave entrance.

A dozen or so Golden Core Realm Thunder Beasts huddled together, their claws scraping against the stone wall, sending up a shower of sparks.

More thunder beasts charged from behind, shaking the entire Thunder Cave.

"Follow Qingqi out, and don't look back."

Qin Mo raised his hand to block a thunder beast that was pouncing on him.

The thunder beast opened its mouth and spat out a purplish-black thunderball. Qin Mo punched through the thunderball, his fist landing on its chest.

The sound of bones cracking rang out as the Thunder Beast tumbled and crashed into the nearby Thunder Pool.

Luo Zhengnan's chubby face twitched.

He stared at Qin Mo's fist, his steps slowing by half a beat.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, what came out of there?"

Qin Mo grabbed the tail of another thunder beast and flung it to the edge of the passage.

"The Thunder Rock Golem is dead, and what's inside has awakened."

As soon as he finished speaking, seven more thunder beasts charged over.

Five-colored energy burst forth beneath Qin Mo's feet as his figure skimmed across the ground.

He smashed the leg bones of the thunder beast in front of him with two punches, and then landed a third punch on the jaw of the leading thunder beast, sending it flying.

The thunder beasts behind couldn't stop their momentum and crashed into each other one after another.

Qin Mo did not pursue, but instead stepped on the neck of a thunder beast and pressed it into the rubble next to the thunder magma.

The Thunder Beast struggled a few times, but its limbs quickly drooped down.

"They're all still alive."

He swept his gaze across the heavily wounded thunder beasts scattered on the ground, his five fingers tightening.

These items were Luo Zhengnan's payment for leading the way.

Now that he had taken the Dragon Soul Pearl and the Heavenly Thunder Vine, he had to complete the transaction.

The thunder behind us grew closer and closer.

Sikong Ji landed beside him, the Purple Lightning Longbow already drawn.

"I stayed."

Her fingers gripped the bowstring.

Qin Mo turned his head to look at her.

"Take your men out there and collect the Thunder Beasts."

Sikong Ji did not loosen the strings.

"Can you hold them off by yourself?"

Qin Mo raised his hand and pressed down on her bow.

"We have to stop it even if we can't."

He pointed to the surging lava behind him.

"If that thing gets out, the passage will collapse. You staying here will only slow me down."

Sikong Ji's fingers froze for a moment before he finally put away the longbow.

"Get out alive."

She turned and grabbed Luo Hongyao's wrist, leading the group back towards the cave entrance.

Hua Meiniang turned around and glanced back.

Qin Mo stood amidst the thunderous beasts, his clothes torn in several places, and blood still dripping from his fists.

Her fingers looped around the red string on her wrist, and her pace quickened to match Sikong Ji's.

Luo Xiaoman dragged the unconscious Thunder Beast a few steps before tripping over the corpse.

Cang Wuyue reached out and grabbed her, then casually hoisted the thunder beast onto his shoulder.

"Hurry up and go."

Cang Wuyue gritted his teeth, his shoulders sinking as the Thunder Beast pressed down on him.

Luo Zhengnan and his sister laid down a blue flag, and the poisonous fog spread along the passage.

With the heavily injured thunder beast in tow, the group quickly retreated from the Thunder Cave.

Outside the cave entrance, lightning was still shooting out.

Sikong Ji raised his hand and cast a lightning barrier to block the falling rubble.

Luo Zhengnan and his sister seized the time to collect the Thunder Beast, while Hua Meiniang and the other two stood aside, stuffing the beasts into their storage bags.

Deep inside the cave.

Qin Mo looked up and gazed ahead.

A foot stepped out of the thunderous liquid.

The stone surface shattered on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, a giant beast stood up from the thunder pool.

It was ten zhang tall, with two rows of thick bone spurs on its back and a curved thunder horn in the center of its forehead.

Lightning streamed down its scales, and with each step it took, the entire mountainside trembled.

Qin Mo's Heaven and Earth Divine Eye swept over the giant beast.

His physical strength surpassed that of the peak of the Golden Core stage, his beast soul was deep within the Thunder Horn, and the power of the mountain's thunder veins still clung to his body.

The Thunder King raised his head, his thunder horns aimed at Qin Mo.

The next moment, a purplish-black lightning bolt shot out from the tip of the horn.

Qin Mo crossed his arms, his five-colored golden body bracing against the lightning pillar.

Lightning pressed down on his body, sliding him backward for more than ten feet, carving two deep furrows into the rock beneath his feet.

He lifted his right foot and placed it on the ground.

Five streaks of energy and light entered the rock strata from beside his feet and spread out in all directions along the lightning veins.

The earth's veins in the entire Thunder Cave were affected, and the nearby Thunder Pools simultaneously subsided.

The Thunder King's front leg sank.

Qin Mo seized the opportunity to rush in front of it and punched the Thunder King in the nose.

The Thunder King tilted its head to one side, its massive body smashing through three stone pillars.

Before it could even regain its footing, Qin Mo had already caught up and unleashed a barrage of punches.

A punch to the chest.

A punch to the stomach.

The final punch landed on Lei Hou Wang's right shoulder.

Scales flew off, and lightning blood splattered on the stone surface.

The Thunder King raised its claws to strike, but Qin Mo dodged to the side, the claws grazing his shoulder as they fell to the ground.

The entire ground collapsed.

Qin Mo fell into the edge of the lightning pool, his ankle getting entangled in the lightning.

The Thunder King lunged forward, its fangs only half a zhang away from his head.

Qin Mo gripped its chin with his five fingers.

"Get down."

He exerted force from his waist and back, and the five-colored qi and blood rushed into the body of the Thunder King at the same time.

Lei Hou Wang was lifted off the ground by Qin Mo.

Qin Mo grabbed its neck and slammed its head into the pool of lightning.

The jet of fire shot up several dozen feet high.

The Thunder King struggled wildly in the pool, its thunder horns repeatedly striking the bottom.

With each impact, large bursts of lightning exploded from the surface of the pool.

Qin Mo did not let go.

He took out the Dragon Soul Pearl and pressed it between the eyebrows of the Thunder King.

The ancient thunder dragon inside the pearl raised its head, and the nine soul locks lit up simultaneously.

The Thunder King's beast soul was restrained, and its struggles immediately weakened.

Qin Mo mobilized the power of the earth's veins to suppress the Thunder King's limbs, and then injected a wisp of the Five Elements Qi into its brow.

The beast soul of the Thunder King let out a piercing roar.

Qin Mo pressed down with his finger.

A five-colored beast seal landed below Thunder Horn.

Lei Hou Wang's body stiffened, and the raging light in his pupils slowly contracted.

It lay in the thunderous mud, white smoke billowing from its nostrils, its four paws still gently pawing.

Qin Mo retrieved the Dragon Soul Pearl.

"Listen to me for now."

King Lei Hou raised his head and let out a low growl.

Qin Mo stepped on its thunder horn.

"Say it again, and I'll tear you apart right now."

The Thunder King's mouth closed.

Sikong Ji's voice came from the direction of the cave entrance.

"Qin Mo, someone's here outside."

Qin Mo lowered his brows.

He raised his hand, grabbed the scales on the Thunder King's neck, and dragged it out of the Thunder Pool.

The lightning on Lei Hou King's body dimmed considerably, but his limbs still landed with a heavy thud.

Qin Mo rode on its back and, using the residual lightning power of the earth veins, forcibly suppressed the backlash of the beast seal.

A man and a beast walked toward the cave entrance.

Before they even got close, Murong Yi's voice could be heard from outside.

"Hua Meiniang, you've colluded with outsiders and betrayed the Netherworld Sect. Do you think you can leave alive today?"

Hua Meiniang stood in front of the thunder curtain, the red rope on her wrist taut.

She didn't answer, but quietly took half a step closer to Cang Wuyue.

Murong Yi raised his hand and pointed at Cang Wuyue.

"She is the former young master of the Azure Dragon Sect and has the key to the Azure Dragon's secret treasure."

Cang Wuyue gripped the short sword, the scabbard rattling under her hand.

"Stop talking nonsense."

She looked up, her voice strained.

Murong Yi's face twitched.

"Hand over the ancestral master's token, and I'll let you die a quick death."

Cang Wuyue took half a step forward, shielding Luo Xiaoman behind her.

Hua Meiniang raised the red rope, and red light slowly spread across the ground.

The Netherworld Cult Leader glanced at the three women and raised his hand to suppress them.

"Capture Hua Meiniang alive, capture Cang Wuyue alive, and bring that little girl back with you."
