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

The news that Zheng Hong was building a foundation in the market spread throughout the entire Yunxia Town overnight.

Before Shen Ao and Shen Ling'er even reached the Shen family gate, their father, Shen Tianxing, had already received word of the situation.

Shen Tianxing was so angry he almost vomited blood on the spot.

He led his men to intercept the brother and sister on their way, escorted them all the way to the Drunken Flower Pavilion, and pushed them to Qin Mo's room.

"You have offended your seniors, kneel down now!"

Shen Tianxing stared at the two of them, his gaze cold and sharp.

Shen Ao and Shen Ling'er bent their knees and knelt down outside the door.

"Senior, Ling'er was blind and deceived. Ling'er truly knows her mistake and begs for mercy!"

Shen Ling'er knelt on the ground, her voice trembling.

"Senior, we were indeed wrong. We shouldn't have doubted your abilities... Please give us another chance!"

Shen Ao was filled with deep regret.

"Please leave. My master said he won't see anyone tonight."

Zheng Hong stood in front of the door, his face indifferent.

"You two good-for-nothings! You've disappointed your father greatly!"

Shen Tianxing glared angrily, "Kneel down! Kneel until the senior is willing to see you!"

He knew all too well what it meant to befriend a master of alchemy.

in the room.

Qin Mo had no intention of paying any attention to the Shen family members outside.

He placed his palms on Shuang'er's back and activated the Hunyuan Devouring Heaven Technique, slowly absorbing and refining the cold demonic energy within her body.

The Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique is extremely domineering.

Once the demonic energy entered the meridians, it was completely devoured by the Qiankun Transformation Furnace in the dantian and transformed into pure Qiankun Qi.

He nearly drained Shuang'er of all her demonic energy, causing her to weaken and turn deathly pale.

Fortunately, he stopped in time at the last moment, took out a Rejuvenation Pill from his storage bag and fed it to her, which allowed Shuang'er to recover some of her vitality.

"Master...this servant is so cold..."

Shuang'er curled up in the quilt, her white hair scattered, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Go to sleep."

Qin Mo tucked the blanket around her.

He examined the life-generating furnace in his dantian.

Throughout the night, he collected seventy-five streams of Qiankun Qi, which, together with the original seventy-two, now total one hundred and forty-seven streams.

We are still far from the six hundred steps required to reshape the Nascent Soul Pill.

We can only continue tomorrow night.

Yan'er and Lan'er still refused to get close to him, and he didn't want to force them.

Qin Mo looked at the sleeping Shuang'er and thought to himself.

This girl possesses a superior ice spiritual root and dragon bloodline; it would be a real shame if she didn't cultivate.

Yunxia Town has a training hall that specializes in selling various low-level martial arts techniques, but the price for an ordinary person to buy a set of advanced-level techniques is outrageously expensive.

Fortunately, he doesn't lack spirit stones now, so he can take Shuang'er out for a stroll another day.

At this moment, outside the door.

Shen Ao and Shen Ling'er knelt for an entire night.

Zheng Hong also stood guard outside the door all night.

People kept coming to the Drunken Flower Pavilion to inquire about the origins of the masked master.

Qin Mo always wore a black iron mask when he went in and out, and many people in the town had seen him in person.

Liu San Niang quickly pieced together the story of Zheng Hong's public foundation-building ceremony from the shopkeeper's words, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

That masked guy was actually a reclusive alchemy master who could refine foundation-opening pills.

"Zheng Hong, Zheng Hong, now that you've acknowledged such a person as your master, your future is limitless."

Liu San Niang straightened her sideburns in front of the bronze mirror and said in a low voice, "I, Liu San Niang, am even less likely to let you go."

She secretly resolved that she would reconcile with Zheng Hong no matter what.

……

Qin Mo woke up before dawn.

Not wanting to be blocked by the townspeople, he climbed out of the window and over the low wall in the backyard of the Drunken Flower Pavilion, then hurried back to the mountain under the cover of night.

The Shen family members were still kneeling foolishly outside the door.

When it was fully light, Zheng Hong pushed open the door to check, only to find the room empty.

"The senior has left?"

Upon hearing the news, Shen Tianxing felt a lump in his throat, unable to catch his breath.

"You two, go back and reflect on your actions behind closed doors!"

He glared at his children through gritted teeth.

He repeatedly urged them to get close to that senior.

Who would have thought that these two unfilial children would actually question whether someone was a fraud to their face?

The opportunity that was so easily within reach just slipped away.

Missing out on this grandmaster of alchemy is an irreparable loss for the Shen family.

Shen Tianxing led his men back to the mansion.

As soon as you enter the gate, you see a carriage with cloud and rain palace patterns parked in front of the main hall.

"Big sister!"

Upon seeing the figure inside the hall, Shen Ling'er felt a lump in her throat and burst into tears of grievance.

"Big sister, why are you back?"

Shen Ao was also taken aback.

A woman dressed in a light gold palace dress sat in the main seat. She had a beautiful face and a sharp, imposing aura between her brows.

Beside her stood a woman in purple with a cold expression.

It was Shen Ruoyan, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and her junior sister Jiang Xuerou.

Logically speaking, with the palace competition approaching, as the senior sister of Yunyu Palace, she should be on the mountain preparing for the battle.

"Return to retrieve the elixirs needed for the palace gate competition."

Shen Ruoyan said calmly, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking so long-suffering?"

Shen Tianxing recounted the whole story in detail.

After listening, Shen Ruoyan shook her head calmly.

"It's just a Foundation Establishment Pill, no need to panic. After the competition, I will personally ask my grandmaster uncle to help you refine a batch."

"Really? Thank you, ma'am!"

Shen Ling'er was overjoyed.

The grandmaster Shen Ruoyan mentioned was none other than Gu Yingxue, the Supreme Elder of Yunyu Palace, the only Grandmaster of Alchemy in the palace.

"but……"

Shen Ruoyan changed the subject, her gaze suddenly sharpening, "Since that person can customize pills, I'd like to have a go at him."

Her cultivation level has been stuck at a bottleneck for half a year.

If she cannot break through to the Golden Core Realm before the Palace Gate Competition, she will lose her position as the Senior Sister.

In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak, and the same applies within the Cloud and Rain Palace.

If you're not strong enough, you have to step aside.

"Custom-made pills?"

Shen Ruoyan picked up her teacup and took a small sip. "I want to see if he can make a custom-made Breakthrough Pill."

……

Inside the Valley of Broken Pills, the poison of the pills remained severe.

Qin Mo returned to the small building, where the porridge on the stove was still warm.

After finishing his bowl of wine, he took out the book "The Secret of Herbal Elixir" and leaned against the wooden chair in front of the corridor to read it.

This is the most basic introductory book on alchemy in the Cloud Rain Palace's alchemy room. It only provides a superficial introduction to pharmacology and cannot be considered a proper transmission of knowledge.

Each of the disciples in the alchemy room had a copy, but Qin Mo used to be too lazy to even flip through it.

But things are different now.

Although he doesn't know how to refine elixirs, he should at least understand some basic alchemical terminology.

Otherwise, if that white-robed, masked female cultivator comes to discuss the Dao tonight, his secret will be exposed as soon as he opens his mouth.

If you're going to pretend, you have to do it convincingly.

Since he has the Qiankun Transformation Furnace, which can turn waste into treasure, he doesn't need to study alchemy at all.

But you need to be able to keep up with the conversation without giving yourself away.

"Qin Mo! You have an audacity to injure a fellow disciple! What is your punishment?!"

A furious shout exploded from the mouth of the valley.

Qin Mo put down the book in his hand and slowly stood up.

Ma Kun strode over with a gloomy expression, clutching a leather whip stained with dark blood, and approached him menacingly.

Manager Ma has come to demand an explanation.
