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

Ma Kun strode forward, whip in hand, his eyes filled with malice.

"Qin Mo, you broke Wang Tie's hand! Today I'm cleaning house for the sect!"

The whip was raised, its sharp crack echoing through the air.

"stop."

A clear, cool female voice came from the valley entrance.

Ma Kun's arm stiffened, and he abruptly stopped wielding the whip. He turned around and his expression changed instantly.

Qin Mo also looked in that direction.

Walking in front was a female inner disciple in a black dress, none other than Xu Qingqing, who had given him a low-grade spirit stone in the alchemy room that day.

Following behind her was Wang Tie, who had lost an arm.

Xu Qingqing looked Qin Mo up and down, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Is it you?"

Qin Mo's heart sank.

He never imagined that Xu Qingqing would be in charge of the affairs of the Outer Law Enforcement Hall.

The Yunyu Palace's Enforcement Hall is divided into inner and outer halls. The outer hall is in charge of the rewards, punishments, life and death of all the miscellaneous disciples.

That dog Wang Tie has actually made things this way.

"Aren't you going to come and pay your respects?"

Ma Kunchong shouted at Qin Mo.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Xu."

Qin Mo bowed his head in greeting.

Xu Qingqing glanced at him, her tone indifferent: "Did you break Wang Tie's arm?"

"no."

Qin Mo didn't even think about it.

"Qin Mo! How dare you lie to your senior sister?"

Wang Tie lunged forward, raised his severed arm, and roared, "You're the one who hit me!"

"Qin Mo, the sect strictly forbids private fights between fellow disciples. How dare you resort to such a vicious act? You are utterly disregarding the sect rules!"

Ma Kun followed up with a cold and heavy voice.

good chance.

He absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.

Disciples who violate the sect rules will be punished with punishment ranging from being expelled from the sect to being beaten to death on the spot.

"Come back to the Enforcement Hall with me."

Xu Qingqing looked at Qin Mo with a solemn expression.

"Senior sister, my words remain unchanged."

Qin Mo stared into Xu Qingqing's eyes. "If you want me to confess, produce evidence. You can't convict me based solely on his words."

"you……"

Wang Tie was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Moreover, I have ample reason to suspect that Wang Tie is framing me."

Qin Mo turned to Wang Tie.

"I framed you?"

Wang Tie's eyes widened.

"During our previous match, everyone saw how badly I punched you. What did you say then? Did you threaten to kill me?"

Xu Qingqing's brows twitched.

"I've heard about this."

She glanced at Wang Tie.

The news that Qin Mo punched Wang Tie so hard he sprayed filth on the day of the handyman competition had already spread throughout the alchemy area.

Everyone knows that Wang Tie hates Qin Mo to the bone.

"No, senior sister, it really was him! Look, my hand is broken!"

Wang Tie got anxious, and his voice cracked.

"Wang Tie, you can say whatever you want, you're entitled to have your mouth shut."

Qin Mo stared at him coldly, "But you'd better produce witnesses and evidence, otherwise, can you afford to bear the crime of falsely accusing a fellow disciple?"

"Yes, do you have any witnesses or physical evidence?"

Xu Qingqing nodded.

Qin Mo's statement makes sense.

"this……"

Wang Tie opened his mouth, his face turning bright red.

At that time, there were only him and Qin Mo in the Remnant Pill Valley. Who would come to this godforsaken place?

There are no eyewitness accounts and no physical evidence.

"Aren't all these injuries enough for me? Did I break my own arm?"

"That's not impossible."

Qin Mo said calmly, "From the alchemy area to the Remnant Pill Valley, it's a seven or eight li mountain road, and there are occasionally ferocious beasts roaming the mountains. Besides, Wang Tie, you've offended quite a few people, haven't you?"

"Wang Tie, you actually dared to deceive Senior Sister Xu in order to frame me."

Qin Mo shook his head and sighed, "You're too bold."

"This is outrageous!"

Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and stared coldly at Wang Tie.

"No... Senior Sister, it's really not like that! I wouldn't dare lie to you even if I had a thousand lives!"

Wang Tie's face turned deathly pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"So, Steward Ma."

Qin Mo smiled and looked at Ma Kun, "Are you in cahoots with him?"

"What?"

Ma Kun was startled.

How did this get involved with him?

He cannot bear the charge of deceiving the head of the outer court.

"Um?"

Xu Qingqing turned her head and stared at Ma Kun.

"Absolutely not! It was all Wang Tie's doing; it has nothing to do with me!"

Ma Kun practically yelled it out, trying to absolve himself of all responsibility.

Saving your life is the most important thing.

"Senior sister, Wang Tie harbors a grudge against me and is deliberately framing me. I beg you, senior sister, to do me justice!"

Qin Mo's tone was filled with grief and indignation.

He felt very happy.

You two pieces of trash think you can kill me?

"Wang Tie, what else do you have to say? You know the consequences of falsely accusing your fellow disciples without providing evidence."

Xu Qingqing coldly looked down at Wang Tie, who was lying paralyzed on the ground.

"Manager Ma...Manager Ma, please say something for me!"

Wang Tie looked at Ma Kun pleadingly.

"What you did has nothing to do with me."

Ma Kun's face turned ashen, and he didn't respond at all.

"How dare you try to play tricks on me?"

A murderous glint appeared in Xu Qingqing's eyes.

"No, senior sister, I really didn't lie..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Qingqing raised her hand and slapped her.

Snapped.

The palm strike landed on Wang Tietian's head, causing him to fall backward and land flat on the ground, lifeless.

He died.

Ma Kun stood frozen in place, his face deathly pale.

Qin Mo looked at Wang Tie's corpse without any sympathy.

This guy took Ma Kun's spirit stones and wanted to kill him; he deserves to die.

But Xu Qingqing casually slapped a servant disciple to death without even hesitating.

The servants were as insignificant as ants.

"Drag this thing to a mass grave."

After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she turned and left.

Ma Kun glanced at Qin Mo, then bent down, grabbed Wang Tie's ankle, and dragged him out of the valley.

Qin Mo stood there, his chest heavy.

He must become strong.

Otherwise, Wang Tie's fate will serve as a cautionary tale for him.

Before you become strong enough, you must be patient and more cautious.

After nightfall, Qin Mo walked into the depths of the Remnant Pill Valley, opened the No. 18 Remnant Pill Pavilion, and closed the iron gate.

He took out the broken-realm pill.

Numbers emerged from the Qiankun Transformation Furnace, indicating that fifteen strands of Qiankun Qi were needed to reshape an ordinary Breakthrough Pill.

Ordinary breakthrough pills can only improve minor realms within a major realm, and are effective for cultivators below the Golden Core realm.

To break through to a higher realm, one needs the Nine-Turn Breakthrough Pill.

He searched the entire pavilion but couldn't find a single useless Nine-Turn Breakthrough Pill.

"Use the regular one first."

He threw three broken-realm pills into the transformation furnace.

A flash of inspiration, then a moment of calm.

Three Grade 5 Breakthrough Pills lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

Forty-five strands of Qiankun Qi were consumed, leaving one hundred and two strands remaining.

Including the two I had before, I now have a total of five Breakthrough Pills.

Qin Mo sealed the pills in a jade bottle and left the Remnant Pill Pavilion.

Night fell over the valley, and all was silent.

Without hesitation, he put on the black iron mask and headed straight down the mountain.

……

Yunxia Town, the backyard of the Shen family.

"Big sister, are you really going to see that masked alchemist?"

Jiang Xuerou looked at Shen Ruoyan and said.

"certainly."

Shen Ruoyan remained calm. "I'd like to see who he is."

"There's something... I've hesitated for a long time, but I still have to tell my older sister."

Jiang Xuerou gritted her teeth.

"What have you been hiding from me?"

Shen Ruoyan frowned.

"Qin Mo, that handyman, is still alive."

"What?"

Shen Ruoyan suddenly turned her head.

"How could he be alive? Didn't you tell him to open that box of useless Nascent Soul Pills?"

"Even we can't withstand that kind of poison. How did he, a mere Qi Refining level servant, manage to survive it?"

"Big sister, do you think it's possible that Junior Sister Su secretly gave him a protective magical artifact?"

Jiang Xuerou pondered for a moment.

"Very likely."

Shen Ruoyan sneered, "Who would have thought that a lowly servant disciple of Yunyu Palace would be our Holy Maiden's fiancé?"

"Junior Sister Su cultivates the Forget-Heart Technique; men are the stumbling blocks to her attaining enlightenment."

"Qin Mo must die, but the palace competition is just around the corner. We'll deal with him after the competition."

"Eldest sister is right."

Jiang Xuerou nodded, "Once Eldest Sister condenses her Golden Core before the Grand Competition, no one will be able to shake her position."

"Let's go to the Drunken Flower Pavilion."

Shen Ruoyan stood up and stepped out.

……

Half an hour later, Qin Mo arrived at the entrance of Zuihualou.

He wore a black iron mask and pushed open the door to go inside.

However, the scene before him took him by surprise.

The lobby of Zuihualou was surprisingly full of people.

The moment he stepped inside, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Among the crowd, Shen Ruoyan and Jiang Xuerou, their faces veiled, sat in a corner, observing him.

The veiled woman in white who had wanted to discuss philosophy with him last night was also among them, silently watching him.

Qin Mo naturally couldn't recognize their identities.

"Master, you've arrived."

Zheng Hong quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"These people..."

Qin Mo lowered his voice.

"They've all come to you seeking elixirs."

Zheng Hong replied.

"What? They're all here asking for pills?"

Qin Mo was completely stunned.
