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

No one expected that Zheng Hong would swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill in Qin Mo's hand in one gulp.

Everyone was stunned.

"this……"

Even Qin Mo was stunned for a moment.

However, Zheng Hongshou's lifespan is nearing its end; if he doesn't take this pill, he won't have many days left to live.

"Zheng Hong, you're courting death!"

"If you stay calm and recuperate, and take some life-extending pills, you can at least last another year or two."

"Aren't you afraid of dying on the spot if you take this fake pill of unknown origin?"

Fang Daoyun shook his head and sighed.

"Of course! That masked man is clearly a fraud!"

"Good heavens, how dare they put a fraudulent pill in their mouth?"

The surrounding crowd instantly erupted in uproar.

"this……"

Shen Ling'er was also dumbfounded.

She had originally reserved this pill, but Zheng Hong swallowed it whole.

An inexplicable unease rose in her heart.

Shen Ao also frowned, staring intently at Zheng Hong as he swallowed the pill.

"Liar, why don't you surrender?"

Fang Tianhe glared angrily at Qin Mo and shouted sharply.

"Surrender now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Liars should be killed!"

The crowd surged with emotion, and countless people approached Qin Mo.

"ha……"

Qin Mo, wearing a black iron mask, suddenly laughed loudly.

"How can you still laugh when you're about to die?"

The crowd was both shocked and furious.

"What are you laughing at!"

Fang Tianhe's face was gloomy.

"I laugh at you all for being so hopelessly stupid, being used as pawns by this guy surnamed Fang without even realizing it. You're both stupid and pathetic."

Qin Mo's laughter never stopped.

"Liar, you actually called us stupid?"

The crowd was completely enraged.

"Please observe, everyone!"

Fang Daoyun turned to the crowd and raised his voice.

"Zheng Hong has already taken this swindler's so-called Foundation-Opening Pill, but there's been no reaction in his body. This is enough to prove that the pill is fake and that the man is a fraud!"

"That's right, this damn liar even dared to curse at us, let's beat him to death!"

"Kill him!"

Shouts and clamor rose and fell.

At this moment, Gu Yingxue, who was watching from a distance, shook her head slightly upon seeing this scene.

She is a grandmaster of alchemy, and that foundation-building pill is real, definitely not a fake.

"Let's do it!"

The crowd began to move towards Qin Mo.

Fang Daoyun stepped aside, a smug smile on his face.

Fang Tianhe also wore a gloating expression.

Seeing that everyone was about to attack Qin Mo, Qin Mo remained standing still, without moving an inch.

"Shut up, all of you!"

A hoarse roar suddenly exploded out.

Zheng Hong suddenly looked up, his cloudy eyes filled with anger, and began to berate Fang Daoyun.

"Fang Daoyun, you old dog! What are you pretending to be, this virtuous gentleman?"

"Others may not know your background, but I know it all too well!"

"A hypocrite spouting nothing but empty platitudes about morality and righteousness!"

"No, Fellow Daoist Zheng, I'm doing this for your own good, why are you turning around and scolding me?"

Fang Daoyun looked aggrieved.

"For my own good? Haha..."

Zheng Hong laughed loudly, a heart-wrenching laugh.

"You said you'd help me open the Foundation Core, but where's the core? All you do is try to trick me into buying your useless life-extending pills!"

"You swindled me out of most of my life savings, and you still have the nerve to call me a swindler?"

Zheng Hong was about to curse again, but before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly trembled.

A scorching heat surged from the depths of his dantian, growing stronger and more intense.

"This is... the power of a foundation-opening pill!"

Zheng Hong was both surprised and delighted. He forgot all about cursing, bent his legs, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to circulate the Zheng family's secret technique to refine the pill's power.

"This...it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Fang Daoyun's expression changed repeatedly.

At this moment, Zheng Hong felt a surge of powerful internal energy erupt from his dantian, flowing along his meridians and circulating throughout his body.

That power continued to rise, and wherever the scalding golden torrent passed, the blocked meridians and narrow acupoints were all forcibly opened up and then reshaped.

Zheng Hong gritted his teeth, his whole body trembled violently, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

The sweat that had just seeped from his pores was evaporated into white mist by the heat emanating from his body.

The whole person was enveloped in a thin layer of mist.

"this……"

Those around stared wide-eyed at the sight.

"How is that possible..."

Fang Daoyun stared intently at Zheng Hong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his face filled with horror.

"Does that conman's Foundation-Opening Pill really work?"

Those who originally intended to attack Qin Mo were all dumbfounded.

Shen Ling'er's face turned deathly pale.

She had a vague feeling that she had missed a tremendous opportunity.

Shen Ao was completely dumbfounded.

Qin Mo wore a black iron mask, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned beneath the mask.

This is a Grade 6 Foundation Establishment Pill.

The audience was silent.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Zheng Hong on the ground.

People around Zheng Hong quickly stepped back and made way.

And so, Zheng Hong began to build his foundation under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"No...this is impossible..."

Shen Ling'er trembled all over as she looked at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo didn't even look at her.

"This person is indeed very capable."

Deep within the crowd, Luo Zhengnan was also sizing up Qin Mo.

Xuan Chenzi also looked solemn.

They actually didn't think Qin Mo was a liar from the beginning.

Because the masked guy remained remarkably calm throughout.

He remained calm and composed in the face of Fang Daoyun's questions.

He remained calm and composed in the face of the angry crowd.

The more capable a person is, the less likely they are to panic.

The clock is ticking.

The moon hangs high in the sky.

No one dared to utter a sound; everyone stared nervously at Zheng Hong on the ground.

No one would dare to lay a hand on Zheng Hong.

Although this person was a member of a collateral branch of the Zheng family in Cangyue City, if anyone were to lay a hand on Zheng Hong, who was in the process of establishing his foundation, in front of so many people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Zheng family of Cangyue City is a major clan in the cultivation world, with a Nascent Soul ancestor presiding over them.

More than an hour later.

As the mist around Zheng Hong dissipated, everyone was astonished to see that his skin had turned golden, and his entire body seemed to be cast from gold, with a powerful aura emanating from his body.

Those around felt a heavy pressure, had difficulty breathing, and had to take several steps back.

"It's the Zheng family's Golden Armor Mystic Technique!"

Fang Tianhe gasped in shock.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged wildly towards Zheng Hong, and his aura was rapidly rising.

The sharp aura emanating from him made everyone afraid to look him in the eye.

Everyone watched this scene in disbelief.

Only one thought remained in their minds: the Foundation Establishment Pill that Zheng Hong ate was real.

Shen Ling'er was filled with deep regret.

That foundation-opening pill was actually real.

it is true!

Her face turned deathly pale, and she swayed, nearly falling to the ground.

Shen Ao quickly reached out to support her.

"Second brother... that Foundation Establishment Pill was real... I'm such an idiot!"

Shen Ling'er's voice trembled.

Those were originally her elixirs.

She made the reservation.

She could have obtained that Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, she didn't believe Qin Mo.

She should have been the one to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The way everyone looked at Qin Mo changed completely, filled with awe.

"What have I done... Second Brother, do you think he'll still help me refine pills if I beg him?"
