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

Outside Lei Ze's camp, three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiao family blocked three exits. After the news spread, the nearby mountains were filled with cultivators.

Those who arrived on swords, those who landed by flying boats, and those who hid on the mountaintop to watch the battle all turned their gaze toward the mountain gate.

"Is the Xiao family going to wipe out Lei Ze as well?"

"Xiao Chengyue died at the hands of Chu Wuming, and the Xiao family is coming to save face."

"Chu Wuming is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; is he worth three Nascent Soul cultivators intervening?"

No one answered.

Xiao Duanyue stood at the mountain pass holding a black command flag, his breath stirring the surrounding spiritual energy. Xiao Jingxing and Xiao Yanshan stood behind him. The three of them had only recently formed their Nascent Souls, and their spiritual pressure had already covered the entire mountain forest.

On the north slope, Xie Wufeng looked at Lei Mu, then glanced at the three members of the Xiao family, and tapped his fingers twice on the hilt of his sword.

"In this battle, the Xiao family is not seeking revenge."

Lei Qianyao stared at the nine ancient lightning pillars, his sleeves glowing with purple light: "If the lightning formation is broken, the Sikong clan's lightning veins will fall into the Xiao family's hands, and the Xiao family's prestige in the Ninth Palace will rise even higher."

As the Chixiao Mountain flying boat approached, the flag on the bow fluttered in the hot wind. Gu Changyuan stood in front of the deck, his face pale and his right shoulder drooping.

He swallowed a crimson pill, and as the medicinal power rushed into his stomach, a muffled sound came from his chest. He bent over and coughed a few times, and beads of blood fell from his palm.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, there's no need to get this close."

His disciples reached out to help him up.

Gu Changyuan shook off that hand and led his three fellow disciples to the edge of the mountain ridge, staring at the direction of Lei Ze.

"I want to see how Chu Wuming dies."

He still remembers the incident where the three Crimson Phoenix Heart Fruits were stolen.

Behind the lightning barrier, the Sikong clan members held their ground, while Sikong Ji gripped the Purple Lightning Longbow, his inner lightning energy gathering and dispersing intermittently.

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

Hua Meiniang stood to the side, her hand pressed against her abdomen, her meridian injuries not yet healed.

Qin Mo was not at the mountain gate, but still deep within the Thunder Chamber.

Sikong Ji turned to look at the tightly closed stone gate and said to his clansmen, "Hold the line. No one is allowed to make a rash move."

The Lei Ze tribesmen responded in unison, and the surrounding hilltops became increasingly crowded, with gazes from outside the formation growing ever more intense.

Xiao Duanyue waited until the surrounding hilltops were filled with cultivators, and even had the eastern passage opened to let in more spectators before raising the command flag.

"Everyone has arrived. Today, the Xiao family will use Lei Ze to show everyone in the Eastern Continent that the Xiao family members are not people that anyone can kill."

As the command flag fell, the three Nascent Soul cultivators simultaneously stepped onto the battle platform.

Xiao Jingxing sat cross-legged in the center of the Nine Phoenix Burning Star Formation, pressing the crimson spirit stone into the formation plate. Xiao Yanshan stood on the right, forming a hand seal, while Xiao Duanyue inserted the command flag into the left eye of the formation.

The fire spirit energy of the mountain pass was drained away, the withered grass was rolled into ash, the rocks were burned red, and nine fire phoenixes rose from above the array plate. Where the phoenix claws landed, scorched cracks were left on the ground.

Above Thunder Lake, the thunderclouds were dyed dark red by the firelight, and the fire phoenix rose higher and higher, its wings spreading out to cover half the sky.

Xie Wufeng removed his hand from the sword hilt: "The Nine Phoenix Burning Star Formation is about to be activated at full power."

Nine pillars of fire fell from the sky, purple lightning and crimson flames collided in mid-air, and the nine ancient lightning pillars bent towards the mountain gate, causing the stone steps to collapse one after another, with firelight and lightning overlapping into one.

Gu Changyuan was pushed back several steps by the impact, and his chest wound reopened. He raised his hand to cover the wound, and blood gushed out from between his fingers.

Inside the Thunder Chamber, Qin Mo sat cross-legged on a blue thunderstone. The tremors outside the stone door grew stronger with each passing moment. A fire phoenix that had passed through the thunder curtain crashed into the stone chamber, causing several cracks to appear in the walls.

The heatwave swept into the room, brushing against his cheeks. He didn't open his eyes; deep within his sternum, the Primordial Sword Qi had already entangled the Five Elements Jade Bones.

With each inch the sword energy advanced, it slashed through several meridians. The Qi of Heaven and Earth enveloped the cracks, and the furnace fire traveled along the meridians. As soon as the wounds healed, the sword energy slashed through them again.

Blood seeped from Qin Mo's lips as he raised his hand and took out Xiao Chengyue's golden pill.

The surface of the golden elixir still retained a golden light, but the divine consciousness inside had long been erased by the Qiankun Transformation Furnace. After being sent into the furnace, the furnace lid was closed, and the furnace body vibrated accordingly.

Golden spiritual energy leaked out from the crack in the furnace, flowing into the body through the arm. The Five Elements Jade Bone was impacted, causing the cracks on the bone surface to widen, and the five-colored patterns to converge towards the chest.

The Primordial Sword Qi seized the opportunity to pierce into the jade bone. Qin Mo grabbed the Thunder Stone, his fingernails scratching several white marks on the stone surface.

You can't stop. If you stop, the sword energy will rush into your heart meridian.

The five elements of Qi and blood were activated, pressing the sword energy deep into the jade bone. At the same time, the Qiankun Transformation Furnace was activated, and the spiritual power of the golden core was broken down into five forces of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, which were poured into the five internal organs and bones.

The fire phoenix crashed in again, causing a corner of the stone chamber's roof to collapse. Thunder and fire rushed into the room, and the patterns on the Five Elements Jade Bones lit up simultaneously.

The sternum cracked repeatedly, the skin split open, and the blood that had just started to bleed was sealed by the Qi of Heaven and Earth. The Primordial Sword Qi then cut open three more meridians.

As soon as the meridians were severed, the Qi of Heaven and Earth repaired the crack, the sword Qi continued to advance, and the furnace fire rolled back along the bone seams, forcing it back into the depths of the jade bone.

Two forces clashed back and forth within his body, causing Qin Mo's body to make soft, crackling sounds. The furnace fire repeatedly pulled him back from his severe injuries.

The golden elixir inside the furnace shrank rapidly, and the patterns on the Five Elements Jade Bone were also being completed. Intertwined five-colored light traces spread from the sternum to the shoulder blades and then extended down the spine.

Qin Mo opened his eyes, and the firelight reflected in them.

"Again."

With a raised hand, the lid of the Qiankun Transformation Furnace opened completely, and the last stream of golden elixir essence rushed out of the furnace body, while the Primordial Sword Qi was dragged into the Jade Bone by the Five Elements Qi and Blood.

Outside the stone chamber, nine fire phoenixes had already pressed down above the thunder curtain. Xiao Jingxing pressed his hands on the array plate, Xiao Yanshan continued his incantation, and Xiao Duanyue poured all of his nascent soul true essence into the command flag.

The three forces converged on the array platform, and the Nine Phoenix Burning Star Array resounded. The nine fire phoenixes opened their beaks, and nine pillars of fire fell simultaneously.

The purple lightning was forced downwards by the crimson flames, causing the lightning curtain to shake violently. The nine ancient lightning pillars emitted a piercing friction sound as the fire and lightning passed through the array and crashed into the stone door of the lightning chamber.

Inside the Thunder Chamber, Qin Mo raised his head. The last pattern on the Five Elements Jade Bone closed, and five-colored light patterns lit up along his arm.

He gripped the ancient broken sword.

Outside the stone gate, the fire phoenix spread its sharp claws and brought them down hard with a muffled thud.

The entire cyan thunderstone vibrated, and a large amount of dust fell from above the stone gate.

Qin Mo sat cross-legged without moving, but the Five Elements Jade Bones in his sternum emitted a faint sound.

He raised his Qiankun Dharma Eye, his gaze passing through the cracked stone wall to look at the Thunder Swamp Mountain Gate.

The nine fire phoenixes had already crashed into the thunder curtain.

The next moment, the phoenix's body contracted simultaneously, and its fiery feathers were engulfed by crimson flames.

The nine phoenix heads elongated, and their bodies rapidly thickened, transforming in the blink of an eye into nine fiery pythons.

The fire python gave Raize no time to catch his breath, and pounced on the purple light barrier one after another.

The first one hit it, and the light shield dented inward.

The second one followed closely behind, causing all nine ancient thunder pillars to shake.

The third one flicked its tail, sweeping across the stone steps of the mountain gate, and large swathes of stones immediately turned red.

At the Lei Ze encampment, the Sikong clan members retreated one after another.

Sikong Ji stood before the Thunder Chamber, his Purple Lightning Longbow drawn back.

The lightning infant within her body was not yet fully stable; the electric light on the back of her hand kept spreading out, only to be forcibly suppressed by her.

She looked up at the fiery python pressing down relentlessly, her fingers tightening on the bowstring.

"Everyone retreat to the inner circle, and don't touch the key point of the formation."

After saying this, Sikong Jisong released the bowstring.
