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

Xiao Jingxing tightened his grip, and the ground in front of Luo Xiaoman immediately collapsed.

The beast bone in her hand trembled a few times, and the blood-red beast patterns that had just climbed onto her arm were suppressed by the Nascent Soul's true essence.

His legs bent down, and his knees almost hit the gravel.

Xiao Jingxing looked up at the east.

The sky was already turning gray.

"It's almost dawn, don't delay any longer."

His palm continued forward, and the pressure of his Nascent Soul pressed down on the entire encampment.

As soon as Hua Meiniang propped herself up, the wound on her shoulder reopened.

Cang Wuyue gripped the broken sword, his knuckles turning white from the hilt.

Xiao Jingxing glanced at the three women and pointed at them one by one.

"Take Hua Meiniang and Luo Xiaoman back to the Xiao family to be my female slaves. Cang Wuyue, kill her first."

Upon hearing this, Cang Wuyue's breath hitched for a beat.

She glanced at the surroundings that had been burned down by the fire array, and then at the tightly closed stone door of the Thunder Chamber behind her.

Sikong Ji was bound by crimson fire patterns, Hua Meiniang and Luo Xiaoman were both injured, and there were three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiao family outside.

If this drags on any longer, everyone will die.

Cang Wuyue raised her hand and pressed it against her brow, her fingernails scratching her skin, and beads of blood slid down her nose.

"If you want to see my face, then look carefully."

Spiritual energy exploded from between her eyebrows.

The originally thick and hard jawline narrowed rapidly, and the contours of the brow bone and bridge of the nose changed accordingly.

The jade crown that held her hair back broke in two, and her long, black hair fell to her waist, covering half of her shoulder.

The male cultivator's disguise was completely removed.

Cang Wuyue raised her face, blood still dripping from her forehead, but her features had returned to those of a woman.

Her features were striking, her eyes sharp, her shoulders and back straight, and she still carried the imposing presence of the young master of the Azure Dragon Sect.

Xiao Jingxing stopped raising his hand halfway through the air.

His gaze lingered on Cang Wuyue's face for a long while, his Adam's apple bobbing twice.

Hua Meiniang lowered her brows and pressed her hand against her waist.

Luo Xiaoman gritted her teeth and gripped the animal bone tightly with her fingers.

Xiao Jingxing finally smiled.

"There's this kind of gain too."

He took a step toward Cang Wuyue, his greed no longer concealed.

"Take her with you. All three women, not one can be missing."

Inside the Thunder Chamber, Qin Mo opened his eyes.

The five jade bones have been joined together, and five-colored light patterns extend from the sternum to the shoulder blades, and then down along the two arms into the finger bones.

With each breath, the blood and qi in the body collide with a deep, resonant sound.

The last barrier blocking the late-stage Five Elements Golden Body had been shattered by him.

The Five Elements Golden Body is Perfected.

The Qiankun Transformation Furnace slowly rotated in the dantian, and the five-colored furnace fire fell deep into the bones.

Jade Bone stabilized completely, and the powerful force was suppressed back into the body without leaking out in the slightest.

Outside, Xiao Jingxing had already raised his hand to grab Cang Wuyue.

The next moment, Qin Mo's voice came from inside the Thunder Chamber.

"You've overreached."

The sound was not loud, but it passed through the stone gate and clearly reached everyone's ears.

Xiao Jingxing paused in his steps.

He turned to look at Lei Shi, and the fire element in his palm quickly condensed. He raised his hand and blasted it over.

A crimson palm print slammed into the stone gate.

boom!

The entire stone door shattered in the middle, and the violent force propelled the rubble outwards.

Xiao Tong and Xiao Lie, who were closest to the scene, were still bound by the Spirit Binding Rope and could not even turn over. Their bodies were pierced by the falling rocks on the spot.

The two struggled for only a few moments before falling silent.

The binding rope broke into several pieces, and the blood-stained stones rolled to Hua Meiniang's feet.

Hua Meiniang glanced at it and tightened her grip.

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, a hand reached out from the ruins of the mine room and pressed against the ground.

Qin Mo came out.

His clothes were covered in dust, and the sword wound on his chest had healed, leaving only a shallow bloodstain.

The five-colored jade light was hidden beneath the skin, and outwardly it still appeared to be only the spiritual energy fluctuations of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

But with each step he took, the ground sank an inch.

Xiao Jingxing stared at him, his expression changing.

Qin Mo looked up and met his gaze.

An image flashed through Xiao Jingxing's mind.

Xiao Chengyue, clad in golden armor, charged onto the path to heaven, only to have his battle body shattered by three punches from the man before him, his golden core also being taken away on the spot.

He finally recognized the face.

"Chu Wuming!"

Xiao Jingxing's shoulders jerked, then he grinned.

"So you were hiding here."

He originally only intended to kill and steal treasures for Xiao Tianci when he entered the Ancient Ruins.

Now Chu Wuming has delivered himself right to our doorstep, and even killed two members of the Xiao clan at the Leize encampment.

If we can cut off his head and take back the Primordial Broken Sword and the Azure Dragon Ancestor's Token, his status in the Xiao family will surely rise.

Xiao Jingxing pointed at Qin Mo.

"You killed members of my Xiao family and seized our possessions. Today I'll take your head back with me, and then I'll have a place in the Xiao family."

Hua Meiniang's expression changed.

She only knew that Qin Mo's cultivation level was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and that Xiao Jingxing was at the early Nascent Soul stage.

That palm strike just now was enough to shatter the Thunder Chamber, but Qin Mo's injuries haven't fully healed yet.

She raised her hand, her voice trembling.

"Chu Wuming, don't engage him! Retreat quickly!"

Qin Mo did not turn around.

He raised his hand and waved, and five-colored blood and qi surged out of his body, transforming into an invisible force that pushed Hua Meiniang, Cang Wuyue, and Luo Xiaoman behind the Thunder Chamber.

Sikong Ji was locked in place by the fire pattern. As soon as he moved, Qin Mo's power sent him to the stone wall.

"Take care of yourself."

After Qin Mo finished speaking, he walked forward.

Xiao Jingxing spread his five fingers, and crimson flames compressed in front of his palm, causing the surrounding stone slabs to crack one after another.

The pressure of the Nascent Soul descended upon Qin Mo, shaking away all the dust on his shoulders.

He still stood ramrod straight.

Xiao Jingxing's eyelids twitched.

"You possess a great treasure."

He once again channeled his true energy, and flames shot out from his palm, transforming into a crimson handprint several meters in size, which pressed down directly on Qin Mo.

Qin Mo raised his right hand.

The five elements of Qi and blood flowed along the jade bones into the arm, and the five fingers shone with a jade-like luster.

He didn't use any magic weapons or mobilize his Foundation Establishment spiritual power; he simply met the attack with his bare palm.

The moment the two palms touched, the surrounding stone walls cracked simultaneously.

A strong wind whipped up sparks from the ground, and the Xiao family disciples all raised their arms to cover their faces.

Xiao Jingxing's palm print only lasted for half a breath.

Click!

He first heard a cracking sound from his wrist, then his entire arm went numb from the shock.

The power surged into his body through his shoulder bone, causing his nascent soul to sway slightly.

Xiao Jingxing retreated several steps, his shoes leaving five deep marks on the ground.

Qin Mo stood still, his right hand slowly hanging down.

Not a single step was retreated.

Hua Meiniang opened her mouth, but forgot to press her hand against the wound.

Luo Xiaoman stared at Qin Mo's back, the beast bone in her hand ceasing to vibrate.

Sikong Ji leaned against the stone wall, his gaze falling on Qin Mo's arm, his fingertips trembling slightly.

Having just formed her nascent soul, she knew better than anyone how heavy the nascent soul's true essence was.

Qin Mo, however, used only his physical body to withstand Xiao Jingxing's palm strike.

The Xiao clan cultivators retreated several feet, and some even dropped their long swords to the ground. They only came to their senses when the swords made a clanging sound.

Xiao Jingxing looked down at his numb hands.

His right hand was still trembling.

"What kind of body-refining technique have you been practicing?"

Qin Mo looked up at him, and a five-colored jade light flashed deep in his pupils.

"That slap you just delivered was quite powerful."

Xiao Jingxing's facial muscles twitched.

He had never been praised like this by a Foundation Establishment cultivator before.

Qin Mo had no Nascent Soul aura, yet his physical body was frighteningly strong.

Greed overcame doubt.

Xiao Jingxing raised his left hand, and the flames at his fingertips gathered again.

Qin Mo took half a step forward, crushing the pebbles beneath his feet into powder.

He raised his right hand to his chest, clenched his fingers, and then spread them out towards Xiao Jingxing.

"Don't stand there."

Qin Mo looked at the Nascent Soul cultivator, his voice calm.

"Come here, let me see how many punches you can take."
