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

"Kneel down obediently, cripple your cultivation, and I'll spare your life!"

Fang Daoyun said proudly.

"You want me to kneel down, and you want me to cripple my cultivation?"

Gu Yingxue looked at Fang Daoyun indifferently, and was so angry at his words that she sneered.

A mere Grandmaster of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, not even a Grandmaster of Alchemy, dared to make her, a Grandmaster of Alchemy, kneel down and cripple her cultivation.

"Get out, or you'll die."

Gu Yingxue didn't have the patience to waste words on this kind of thing.

"What arrogance! Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"

Fang Daoyun lost face in front of Qin Mo tonight and had nowhere to vent his anger.

A masked female cultivator, oblivious to her own mortality, barged in and dared to be disrespectful to him.

He didn't care that the other party was a female cultivator; he spread his five fingers and grabbed directly at Gu Yingxue.

At this moment, Qin Mo and Zheng Hong had already left the market.

Gu Yingxue panicked and waved her hand dismissively.

"what!"

Fang Daoyun screamed and flew through the air, crashing through the outer wall of the market and rolling into a pile of rubble on the other side.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

With a casual wave of her hand, the masked woman sent Fang Daoyun, a ninth-level Qi Refining Grand Alchemist from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, flying away.

They even crashed through the wall?

It should be noted that Fang Daoyun was at least on par with Fang Xiaotian, the head of the Fang family.

Gu Yingxue didn't bother to look again and turned to chase after Qin Mo in the direction he had left.

"master……"

Fang Tianhe was stunned for a while before he reacted and scrambled toward the hole in the wall.

When the others carried Fang Daoyun back, everyone gasped at the sight of his horrific condition.

Covered in blood, with a pale and ashen face, countless bones in his body were broken, and all the meridians in his body were shattered; he had become a complete cripple.

The once-great alchemist with white hair and a youthful face was reduced to this state by a single blow.

What is the background of that woman in white with a veil?

……

Qin Mo led Zheng Hong out of the market and headed towards Zuihualou.

He has two purposes for coming down the mountain tonight.

One is to establish a reputation for customized pills.

The objective has been achieved.

Although the process was different from what was expected, and was disrupted by that old bastard Fang Daoyun, the publicity effect was actually stronger.

Zheng Hong's ability to establish a foundation on the spot is far more effective than any other method.

The second objective is to acquire the Qi of Heaven and Earth.

I've wasted a lot of time in the market; I need to hurry back and discuss the Dao of Heaven and Earth with Shuang'er.

Moreover, he had just begun practicing the Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique and wanted to test whether this technique could refine demonic energy for his own use.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

A clear, cold female voice came from behind.

Qin Mo turned around.

The newcomer was a veiled woman with long white hair and an ethereal air.

He couldn't discern the other party's cultivation level.

Master.

Qin Mo was wearing a black iron mask, so the other party could not see his expression.

Zheng Hong immediately stepped forward, blocking Qin Mo's path, and stared coldly at the newcomer.

This reaction made Qin Mo nod secretly.

Zheng Hong has lived for over a hundred years and is indeed a shrewd person who will not miss any opportunity to show his loyalty.

"I would like to discuss the Dao of Alchemy with you, fellow Daoist. I wonder if you could offer some guidance?"

The one who caught up was Gu Yingxue, who was genuinely seeking advice.

She glanced at Zheng Hong, who was blocking her way, and didn't take this newbie who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage seriously at all.

Qin Mo was taken aback upon hearing this.

Exploring Daoist alchemy?

He knows absolutely nothing about alchemy.

What if this expert questions me on the spot and exposes my secret?

It's more appropriate to discuss life.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, fellow Daoist. I have an important matter to attend to right now and really don't have time to discuss the Dao."

Qin Mo refused outright.

"so……"

Gu Yingxue's voice carried a hint of disappointment.

Qin Mo pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this, you come to Zuihualou tomorrow night, and we can discuss it in detail then."

"Drunken Flower Pavilion?"

Gu Yingxue frowned.

That's a place known for its brothels.

But in order to learn about alchemy from this master, she nodded: "Alright, I will definitely come tomorrow night."

"Then see you tomorrow night."

Qin Mo cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and left with Zheng Hong.

Gu Yingxue watched Qin Mo's retreating figure, her eyes flickering slightly.

The actions of this master were indeed extraordinary; he actually lived in a brothel.

Could it be that the heart is tempered by worldly desires?

Yes, that must be it.

Actually, Gu Yingxue's guess wasn't wrong.

Qin Mo was indeed honing his skills, but he was honing his skills in matters between men and women.

……

Qin Mo and Zheng Hong returned to Zuihualou.

"Zheng Hong?"

As soon as they entered the gate, they bumped into the madam, Liu San Niang.

She stared at Zheng Hong, looking him up and down.

"Weren't you about to die? How come you look so much younger?"

"Liu San Niang, you are no longer worthy of me."

Zheng Hong stared coldly at the other party.

"You...you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage? How is that possible!"

Liu San Niang's voice became shrill.

"You're disappointed that I didn't die of old age, aren't you?"

Zheng Hong stared at her disdainfully.

Liu San Niang's expression changed repeatedly.

"You two know each other?"

Qin Mo glanced at the two of them.

"Reporting to my master, this is my ex-wife."

Zheng Hong answered through gritted teeth.

"What?"

Qin Mo was stunned.

This still charming Liu San Niang is actually Zheng Hong's ex-wife?

Zheng Hong is over a hundred years old. Did these two get together back then?

"When she saw that her subordinate had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, she kicked him to the curb and took all his cultivation resources, then ran off to become a madam at the Drunken Flower Pavilion."

Zheng Hong clenched his fists, his voice trembling.

Qin Mo truly hadn't expected this.

Another man whose heart has been broken by a scumbag woman.

"Master? He called you master?"

Liu San Niang looked at Qin Mo in shock, "You helped him establish his foundation?"

The news of Zheng Hong's public foundation-building ceremony in the market had not yet reached Zuihualou.

Liu San Niang immediately changed her expression and sighed, "Zheng Hong, you can't entirely blame me. Back then, when I followed you, I couldn't see any hope at all..."

"So you see hope by becoming a madam at the Drunken Flower Brothel?"

Zheng Hong scoffed.

"this……"

Liu San Niang was speechless for a moment, then suddenly took a step closer, her eyes sparkling.

"Now that you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, why don't we reconcile? After all, we were husband and wife, bound by a hundred days of kindness. All these years, I've always kept you in my heart..."

"roll!"

Zheng Hong's eyes widened in anger, and an aura of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator emanated from his body.

Liu San Niang felt her body sink, unable to breathe, and staggered back several steps.

"I'm leaving now..."

Her face turned pale, and she turned and ran away quickly.

Qin Mo's eyes were opened.

When Zheng Hong had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, this woman kicked him aside, took the resources, and ran away.

Now that Zheng Hongzhu has been involved, he's posting again, wanting to reunite.

This level of "bad girl" behavior is truly the pinnacle.

"Go up."

Qin Mo stepped upstairs.

"I don't believe I can't handle you, you old geezer."

Liu San Niang watched Zheng Hong's retreating figure and clenched her fingers tightly at the corner of the stairs.

……

Qin Mo led Zheng Hong to the door of room number nine, took out the room number card, and opened the door.

"Master, why are you so late tonight? I've been waiting so long..."

A soft, delicate voice came from inside the room.

Zheng Hong froze.

"You stay outside and guard the area. No matter who comes, don't let them in."

After giving his instructions, Qin Mo stepped into the room.

"Sweetie, were you getting impatient?"

Qin Mo's voice came from inside the door.

Zheng Hong paused for a few moments, then silently closed the door and stood facing the corridor.

Even a senior expert like the master has a taste for this?

He was in a daze when he heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell.

The head of the Shen family, Shen Tianxing, strode over with his son Shen Ao and daughter Shen Ling'er.

Zheng Hong immediately stopped them.

"Shen Tianxing, along with his son and daughter, has come to apologize to you, senior!"
