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

Qin Mo returned to the spring, a burning pain shooting through his palm.

The three Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruits were squeezed together, with the firebirds inside constantly colliding, and crimson light emanating from between his fingers.

Sikong Ji stood up, supporting himself against the broken stone pillar.

A chill still lingered around her left shoulder, and she hesitated to raise the hand holding the bow.

Qin Mo took out a spirit-sealing jade box, put away two of the fruits, and presented the remaining one directly to Sikong Ji.

Sikong Ji looked at the fruit in his hand, his fingertips pausing for a moment.

"Give me?"

She didn't answer immediately.

The Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruit can condense a fire-based Dharma Body, and it is also of great use to lightning cultivators.

Thunder and fire both belong to the Yang path. If she absorbs the fire elemental essence within them, the power of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Punishment will increase even further.

More importantly, she is only one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

This fruit is enough to save her several years.

Qin Mo shook the fruit in his hand.

"Here, you just blocked Gu Changyuan for me."

Sikong Ji suppressed his disordered breathing before reaching out to take it.

The moment the fruit landed in her palm, a wisp of crimson flame climbed up her wrist.

The lightning energy within her body circulated on its own, enveloping the crimson flames.

The purple and red auras intertwined.

A few breaths later, the remaining frost on her shoulder began to melt, and she regained some feeling in her left arm.

Sikong Ji put away the fruit and gripped the jade box tightly with his fingers.

"I'll remember this favor."

She only said one sentence before walking to Cang Wuyue's side and suppressing the backlash in her meridians.

Cang Wuyue has already retrieved the Xuan Shuang Li Huo Fan.

The dragon seal inside the fan is damaged, and its light flickers on and off.

She forcibly used the Azure Dragon Controlling Weapon Hand twice, causing the fire and metal true essence in her dantian to clash again, and her complexion grew worse and worse.

Just as Qin Mo was about to go over, he suddenly heard the sound of ice breaking behind him.

Wei Hong got up from the ground.

His crimson-patterned longsword had long since slipped from his hand, his right leg had been broken by falling rocks, and a wound from lightning and fire remained on his chest.

Another disciple of Chixiao Mountain crushed the escape talisman while Qin Mo was distributing the fruit.

A flash of yellow light, and the person had already rushed into the crevice, quickly becoming silent.

Qin Mo did not pursue.

Gu Changyuan has fled. Chixiao Mountain already knows that something has happened here, so it doesn't make much difference if one more person escapes.

Wei Hong did not possess the escape talisman.

He had only taken two steps when the ancient broken sword grazed his ear and pierced the rock wall in front of him.

The sword trembled slightly.

A few strands of hair fell onto Wei Hong's shoulder.

His legs buckled, and he knelt down on the broken ice.

"Don't kill me! I was just following orders!"

Wei Hong braced himself with his hands on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ice.

Qin Mo walked up to him, his gaze falling on the storage ring.

"Leave your belongings; you may leave."

Wei Hong quickly took off his storage ring and placed the spirit stone bag, protective bronze bell, and two communication jade talismans from his waist on the ground.

Fearing that Qin Mo would be dissatisfied, he even took out the three talismans hidden in his boots.

Qin Mo used his toes to push these things aside.

The storage ring contained over 30,000 high-grade spirit stones, as well as several bottles of pills used by Golden Core cultivators.

That protective bronze bell was also a high-grade spiritual artifact. It wasn't badly damaged and could be repaired by placing it in the evolution furnace.

The harvest was pretty good.

Qin Mo put away his things but did not make way.

Wei Hong raised his head, cold sweat dripping down the tip of his nose.

"I've handed everything over; I really didn't hide anything."

Qin Mo drew the ancient broken sword.

"After you get out, explain what happened here clearly."

Wei Hong was stunned.

Everyone is afraid that news of such a treasure hunt will leak out.

Chu Wuming received three Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruits and actually asked him to pass them on.

Qin Mo patted his shoulder with the back of his sword.

"Tell everyone that Gu Changyuan killed an elder of the Azure Dragon Sect and stole the Frostfire Fan. He also wanted to keep all three Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruits for himself, but I chased him away in the end."

Wei Hong's Adam's apple bobbed a few times.

If this news gets out, Chixiao Mountain will immediately be thrust into the spotlight.

The Xuan Shuang Li Huo Fan comes from the Canglong Sect.

Gu Changyuan couldn't explain the origin of the magic weapon, and the old members of the Azure Dragon Sect would never give up.

As for the three Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruits, they will attract cultivators from all sides.

Qin Mo added another sentence.

"Tell them again that I am Chu Wuming."

Wei Hong's face stiffened.

The Xiao family is offering a reward for Chu Wuming.

Seven natal flying swords, the Azure Dragon Ancestor's Token, plus three Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruits—any one of these would be enough to make a Golden Core cultivator fight to the death.

After the news spread, both the Xiao family and Chixiao Mountain had to send people to intervene.

Cultivators from all sides will also follow this route.

This area will soon descend into chaos.

Wei Hong dared not ask any more questions and dragged his broken leg toward the crevice in the rock.

"I will definitely spread the word!"

He gritted his teeth and stood up after he finished speaking.

Qin Mo watched him walk away without stopping him.

Sikong Ji walked to the side, his brows furrowed.

"Letting him go back will only attract more people."

She pressed down on the bow.

Qin Mo retrieved the Ancient Broken Sword.

"It's easier to get things done when there are many people."

Now that the Xiao family is keeping an eye on Chu Wuming, Xiao Qinghuang can find him through the seven flying swords.

If you keep hiding, you'll get cornered sooner or later.

It's better to stir up the water.

Chixiao Mountain had just lost a valuable treasure, and Gu Changyuan was also seriously injured.

Once the news of the Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruit spreads, those looking to take advantage of the deal won't just be targeting Qin Mo.

The bigger the Xiao family's reward became, the more people eyed the rewards.

Once the fighting breaks out, he can easily extricate himself.

Qin Mo walked up to Cang Wuyue and pointed a finger at the Xuan Shuang Li Huo Fan.

The Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed along the fan ribs, temporarily stabilizing the damaged Panlong Seal.

"Go back to the source pool first."

Cang Wuyue nodded.

The three left Black Spring Valley and soon returned to the Five Elements Source Pool.

Hua Meiniang has woken up.

She leaned against the pool, her damaged meridians mostly recovered.

Luo Xiaoman, holding the Beast Soul Jade, stood guard nearby. When she saw Qin Mo return, she immediately stood up.

Qin Mo took out the second Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruit and threw it directly to Luo Xiaoman.

Luo Xiaoman hurriedly caught it, and the firebird inside the fruit suddenly crashed into her palm.

A fiery feather mark appeared on her arm.

A clear bird song emanated from her body, and the phantom of the beast soul behind her unfolded its wings.

Luo Xiaoman stared at the fruit, her fingers tightening their grip.

"Can it awaken my Fire Feather Phoenix bloodline?"

Qin Mo nodded.

She cultivates the Myriad Beasts Profound Art and possesses a wisp of Fire Feather Phoenix bloodline within her, but it has never been fully awakened over the years.

This fruit is perfect for her.

Qin Mo gave the last fruit to Cang Wuyue.

Cang Wuyue cultivated the Golden and Fire techniques of the Canglong Sect, and her dantian had been destroyed once.

Even after the repair, the two types of true essence could not be completely fused.

The Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruit can stabilize the fire element's origin.

If she can suppress the hidden dangers in her body once more with the Xuan Shuang Li Huo Fan, most of them will be eliminated.

Cang Wuyue took the jade box and pressed her fingertip against the lid.

I owe you one more time.

Her voice sounded a little strained.

Hua Meiniang sat by the pond, her gaze sweeping over the three jade boxes before she looked down and fiddled with the medicine bottle in her hand.

Qin Mo saw it.

"Stop looking. I'll give it to you next time I find something suitable."

Hua Meiniang raised her face, and her fingers stopped fiddling with the bottle stopper.

"You said it yourself."

She tucked the medicine bottle into her bosom.

After resting for a while, the group left the Five Elements Source Pool.

Sikong Ji took out the Sikong family's Thunder Pattern Token.

The purple light on the token pointed southeast, which was the location of the Lei Ze Si Kong clan in the core secret realm.

Just as Qin Mo was about to set off, the seven flying swords in his dantian suddenly vibrated simultaneously.

It's stronger than last time.

A sword intent had already locked onto this area.
