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

"No... it's me..."

Shen Ling'er hesitated, her face full of conflict.

"very good."

Qin Mo withdrew his gaze. "Our deal is canceled."

"What?"

Shen Ling'er was taken aback.

"Since you don't trust me, you have no right to possess my pill."

After Qin Mo finished speaking, he stopped looking at her.

"Haha! You really are a fraud! You can't produce the Foundation Establishment Pill at all!"

Fang Tianhe laughed loudly.

"They made up an excuse to cancel the transaction; what a cunning liar!"

Fang Daoyun drank it coldly.

The crowd erupted in chaos, unleashing a torrent of insults.

Even Shen Ao frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"You damned liar, go to hell!"

Someone threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves directly at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo's body trembled slightly, and an invisible aura burst forth, repelling all the filth.

A rotten egg hit the man who was cursing the most in the face, and the rotten egg liquid splattered all over his head and face.

Those around were also hit by the bouncing rotten vegetable leaves, and they all dodged and cursed angrily.

Everyone says I'm a liar.

Qin Mo's voice deepened.

"Everyone thought I couldn't produce the Foundation Establishment Pill."

He raised his right hand, holding a crystal-clear pill between his thumb and forefinger, and held it above his head.

Under the lamplight, the surface of the pill shimmered with a clear, spiritual light, translucent and warm, reflecting off Qin Mo's fingertips.

"Open your dog eyes wide and look carefully, what is this?!"

The pill in Qin Mo's hand emitted a clear, spiritual light under the lamplight. It was translucent and its radiance was restrained, making his fingertips shine.

The entire room fell silent.

"This is……"

"No way..."

All eyes were fixed on the elixir between Qin Mo's fingers.

Deep within the crowd, Gu Yingxue, dressed in white and veiled, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

She was a grandmaster of alchemy, and she recognized the quality and spiritual essence of the pill at a glance. It was a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill, with a grade no lower than the sixth rank.

Shen Ling'er stared intently at the pill in Qin Mo's hand, her heart pounding and her breathing becoming rapid.

Shen Ao's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Fang Daoyun froze on the spot, his smugness and mockery frozen in place.

Fang Tianhe stared at the elixir, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

The previously boisterous shouting and cursing were completely cut off.

"This is the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Qin Mo scanned the crowd, speaking slowly and deliberately.

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Shen Ling'er took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed her second brother's sleeve.

"Second brother, this...is it really a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"It certainly looks like it."

Shen Ao's voice was dry.

"Let me check it!"

Fang Daoyun snapped out of his daze, rushed forward, and stretched out his hand.

Qin Mo sidestepped and took two steps back.

"What? A Grand Alchemist from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion can't even recognize a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Qin Mo coldly stared at him.

"The authenticity of a pill cannot be determined by its appearance alone; it must be examined in person!"

Fang Daoyun raised his voice, "With so many people watching, your attempts to deceive me won't work!"

Those around them began to recover from their shock.

"That's right, just taking it out for a quick look doesn't prove anything!"

Fang Tianhe then spoke up.

"Without testing, who can confirm whether it's real or fake?"

"It might be counterfeited using some low-grade pills!"

"Want to test my elixir?"

Qin Mo sneered inwardly.

If the pills end up in Fang Daoyun's hands and are secretly switched by that old man, he won't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tries.

"Gentlemen!"

Fang Daoyun turned to the crowd and raised his voice, "How can we distinguish the genuine from the fake without testing?"

"Yes! If they won't let us test, they're definitely guilty!"

"It must be a fake!"

The crowd's emotions were reignited.

"it is good."

Qin Mo nodded. "I've seen through you all. You called me a liar earlier, saying I couldn't produce the Foundation Establishment Pill. Now that the pill is right here, you're saying it's fake."

His gaze fell on Fang Daoyun's face.

"Fang Daoyun, are you planning to force me to hand over the pills so you can replace them with fakes?"

"If it's a genuine pill, you can switch it out. If it's fake to begin with, that'll make things even easier. Isn't that right?"

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Fang Daoyun's face flushed red, and he roared with anger.

"Master Fang's character is widely recognized; how could we allow someone of dubious origin like you to smear him like this!"

Fang Tianhe gritted his teeth and stared at Qin Mo.

"You're afraid to hand over the pill for Master Fang to appraise; you're just guilty! That so-called Foundation-Opening Pill you have is a fake! You're a fraud!"

Fang Daoyun said coldly.

A chorus of agreement rose and fell from all around.

"You are not worthy to touch my Dan."

Qin Mo glanced at Fang Daoyun.

"If you don't let Master Fang verify the pills, you're a fraud!"

Someone in the crowd roared.

"The scammer is feeling guilty!"

"Take off his mask and see what kind of person he really is!"

Someone deliberately hid behind the crowd and stirred things up.

Without a doubt, it was all arranged by the Fang family.

"Are you a scammer or not?"

Shen Ling'er finally spoke, her gaze fixed on Qin Mo with a complex expression.

Qin Mo glanced at her.

"Yes, I'm a scammer. Our deal is void."

"Everyone saw it! He admitted it himself!"

Fang Tianhe immediately shouted to the crowd.

The market was in complete chaos, with insults pouring in.

"You must never regret this."

Qin Mo glanced at the distorted faces around him.

"Ha! A conman saying we'll regret it?"

"You'll regret this!"

"Take off his mask! Let everyone see this bastard's face!"

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Gu Yingxue was about to walk out.

"Get out of my way!"

A hoarse roar erupted from behind the crowd, and a figure roughly pushed through the wall of people, staggering out.

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone noticed that he had a full head of white hair, a withered face, and sunken eyes, looking like he was on his last legs.

"You have a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

The old man rushed to Qin Mo, his withered hands gripping his shoulders tightly, his cloudy eyes staring straight at him.

The Qiankun Transformation Furnace in Qin Mo's dantian reacted instantly: low-grade wind spirit root, thunder spirit root, earth spirit root, three mixed spirit roots, lifespan is about to end.

"Hey, isn't that Zheng Hong from the Zheng family?"

"That old bastard from a collateral branch of the Zheng family has been stuck at the tenth level of Qi Refining for over a decade."

"With three spiritual roots, even if he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, he won't have much of a future. The Zheng family of Cangyue City wouldn't even bother to give him a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't have many days left to live."

Seeing this, Gu Yingxue stopped in her tracks.

"I have."

Qin Mo looked calmly at Zheng Hong, "What will you offer in exchange?"

"My life!"

Zheng Hong squeezed out each word in a hoarse voice.

"Zheng Hong, what's your half-buried, worthless life worth? Besides, the Foundation Establishment Pill in this guy's hand is fake."

Fang Daoyun sneered.

"Fang Daoyun! You hypocritical old dog, get out of here!"

Zheng Hong, panting heavily, turned around and cursed Fang Daoyun.

Fang Daoyun's face turned ashen from the scolding, but he shook his head magnanimously.

"Aren't you afraid that this pill is fake and will kill you if you swallow it?"

Qin Mo stared at Zheng Hong.

"I'm about to die!"

Zheng Hong ripped open his collar, revealing his withered chest. "My family doesn't care about me, my main branch doesn't recognize me, do I have a choice?"

There was no fear in his eyes, only a desperate madness.

"very good."

Qin Mo nodded. "Remember what you said today."

With a flick of his right hand, a Foundation Establishment Pill radiating a clear, spiritual light appeared in his palm.

Without hesitation, Zheng Hong snatched the pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it.
