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

Xuantian City, the Xiao family's secret chamber.

"Father, is there something you need?"

Xiao Tianci raised his hand to suppress the surging blood in his chest.

The Divine Soul War Puppet was destroyed, and he had not yet recovered from the damage he had suffered.

"Take this token and enter the core of the Ancient Ruins."

Xiao Tianci pushed a black token to the side of the table.

The token had no spiritual light, but its edges were engraved with tiny array patterns.

Xiao Wu'e reached out and touched it, and the bones in his chest immediately vibrated slightly. The spiritual energy in the token flowed into his body through his fingers.

He lifted his eyelids slightly.

Xiao Tianci looked at him and said in a low voice, "The core area is now open to Nascent Soul cultivators. You are currently at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Once inside, find a place to break through to the next realm."

Xiao Wu'e put away the token, his thumb rubbing against the edge of it.

"After breaking through to the next realm, kill Chu Wuming?"

"right."

Xiao Tianci tapped the stone table with his knuckles, leaving two shallow marks on the surface.

"Bring back all seven flying swords, the Azure Dragon Ancestor's Token, and the body-refining technique he possessed. If we can't capture him, send his body back to the Xiao family."

Xiao Wu'e did not respond immediately.

He glanced at the extinguished soul lamp in the corner of the secret room, then put the black token into his sleeve.

"Is Chu Wuming merely a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, worthy of my personal intervention?"

Xiao Tianci's hand froze in mid-air.

"Xiao Chengyue thought so too."

After saying this, Xiao Wu'e withdrew his gaze.

Xiao Tianci took out a blood-red pill from his storage ring and placed it in front of him.

"Consume it after entering the core. If you're still a step short, use someone else's cultivation to make up the difference."

Xiao Wu'e picked up the pill, and as soon as his fingertip touched the shell, half of the spiritual power inside the pill was drawn away.

He carefully put away the pills and turned to walk towards the exit of the secret chamber.

"I will bring Chu Wuming back."

The door closed, and Xiao Tianci looked down at the broken spirit stones on the table, his hand gradually tightening.

This time, he sent the most difficult-to-control knife in the Xiao family into the Lost Realm.

On the south side of Xuantian City, in an inconspicuous little courtyard.

Shangguan Yue, still using the identity of Bai Ruyu, sat by the window arranging medicine bottles.

She wore a loose gray dress, her face was covered with the disguise Bai Ruyu was used to, and even her voice was low and deep.

There was no human figure in the mirror, only seven faint sword marks flashing and intersecting.

That was the aura left behind by Xiao Qinghuang's seven natal flying swords.

Shangguan Yue raised her finger and pointed it at the mirror, causing seven sword marks to simultaneously veer into the depths of the lost realm.

Chu Wuming is still alive.

She had already confirmed it earlier using the Mysterious Bone-Touching Technique.

The bone structure of that Five Elements Golden Body was exactly the same as that of Qin Mo, the handyman in the alchemy room.

This secret is still unknown to others.

But she had already seen it clearly.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Mo Yu pushed the door open and came in.

She paused for a moment after seeing the golden token on the table.

"Miss, is this for me?"

Shangguan Yue pushed the token forward, pressing her finger against one corner of it.

"Take it into the core, find Qin Mo, and provide backup for him."

Mo Yu gripped the token, her fingers tightening.

Shangguan Yue didn't look at her, but placed a crescent-shaped jade piece into the center of the array plate.

The candlelight flickered in the courtyard, and the array plate emitted a low hum.

Across the vast expanse of ruins, in a cave somewhere, a war puppet draped in a moon-white cloak raises its head.

The disconnected connection was reconnected.

A crescent moon pattern lit up on the war puppet's chest, and the blurry image was transmitted back to the bronze mirror.

The scene lasted only a few breaths before being obscured by a thick fog.

Shangguan Yue stared at the cloud of mist, tapping her fingers lightly on the table.

"Keep searching, prioritizing the search for traces of the Five Elements Qi and Blood and the Primordial Broken Sword."

The Moon Shadow War Puppet lowered its head, and its figure disappeared into the mist.

Shangguan Yue picked up the golden token and placed it in Mo Yu's hand.

"There will be more and more Nascent Soul cultivators in the core area. Don't get close to the Xiao family, and don't let Qin Mo recognize that you're working for me."

Mo Yu carefully put the token away from his body and turned to leave.

From the direction of the city gate outside the window, came the bronze voice of the guards of the ruins urging the cultivators to assemble.

At the same time, outside Lei Ze's camp, three Nascent Soul cultivators' auras pressed down over the mountain pass.

Thunderclouds were pushed aside by the force, revealing the figures of three Xiao clan cultivators.

Xiao Duanyue, who was in the lead, stood on the bluestone slope.

He was originally only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, and now his Nascent Soul has just been formed, and his spiritual energy is still fluctuating chaotically.

The two people behind him were the same.

Three newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators, along with more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators, have sealed off three exits of the Thunder Swamp encampment.

Xiao Duanyue raised the Xiao Clan Command Flag, and his voice carried into the encampment.

"Sikong clan, hand over Chu Wuming."

Inside the Lei Ze Gate, the clansmen gripped their magical artifacts tightly, their gazes all fixed on Sikong Ji.

She had just formed her nascent soul, which was still sitting cross-legged in the Lei Mansion.

With her left hand resting on the bow, purple lightning darted along the back of her fingers, but she forcefully suppressed it several times.

"Chu Wuming is a guest invited by the Sikong family."

Sikong Ji took three steps forward.

"If you want to take him away, first produce evidence of Xiao Chengyue's cause of death."

Xiao Duanyue's jaw tightened.

He raised his hand, took out a bloodstained storage ring, and threw it towards the entrance of Lei Ze.

"Xiao Chengyue died on the Path to Heaven, his golden core was extracted, and his storage ring was stolen. You still dare to call him a guest?"

The storage ring slammed onto the stone steps with a crisp sound.

Sikong Ji glanced down at it but didn't bend down to pick it up.

Xiao Duanyue continued, "Hand him over now, and the Xiao family will only pursue Chu Wuming. If you protect him, not a single person will be left in the Lei Ze camp."

Sikong Ji's fingers, resting on the bowstring, slowly tightened.

"The person is right here. If you're so capable, Ms. Xiao, come in and get it yourself."

The three Nascent Soul cultivators stepped forward simultaneously.

The protective lightning array above the settlement immediately lit up, and nine lightning pillars rose from the mountainside, blocking the oppressive aura of the Xiao clan.

The two forces collided, and debris kept falling from the cracks in the ground.

Deep inside the stone chamber, Qin Mo sat cross-legged on a piece of blue thunderstone.

The heavy stone door kept out the noise from outside. The array patterns on the door flowed repeatedly, preventing even the spiritual energy vibrations above the Thunder Swamp from entering.

He lowered his head and pressed his hand to his chest.

The external wound has healed, leaving only a shallow scar on the skin.

However, the sword energy left behind by the Primordial Returning to Origin Sword still lingered deep within the meridians, slowly meandering along the sternum.

Each time Qin Mo's fingers passed through a meridian, they would gently tighten.

He did not remove the sword energy.

This power comes from Xiao Qinghuang's Primordial Sword Embryo, and it is exceptionally sharp.

If it can be refined into the Five Elements Jade Bone, the jade bone will take shape much faster.

With a thought, Qin Mo summoned the Qiankun Transformation Furnace from his dantian.

The furnace lid opened, and a stream of cosmic energy was drawn out, enveloping the Primordial Sword Qi that was moving around the chest.

The sword energy instantly sliced ​​through the Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Qin Mo lowered his brows, and the five elements of Qi and blood flowed into his chest cavity along his meridians.

Five-colored jade patterns lit up from between his ribs, forcefully blocking the scattered sword light.

The furnace body vibrated.

The first strand of Qiankun Qi was exhausted, and the Primordial Sword Qi was only affected by half an inch.

Qin Mo did not stop, sending several more streams of Qiankun Qi into the furnace.

The fire of the Qiankun Furnace spread along the meridians, and the Primordial Sword Qi gradually approached the sternum.

The five-colored jade patterns were pressed down, and small cracks appeared on the bone surface. As soon as the cracks were exposed, they were filled back in by the furnace fire.

There was no sound in the stone chamber.

Sweat beaded on Qin Mo's forehead, his right hand still pressed against his chest, his fingers slowly sinking into the fabric.
