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

Qin Mo never expected that he would be completely surrounded as soon as he stepped into the lobby of Zuihualou.

"Senior, I am willing to offer myself in marriage, only asking that you grant me a Spirit Gathering Pill!"

A beautiful female cultivator was the first to rush forward.

"Senior, I am willing to offer my entire fortune in exchange for a Breakthrough Pill!"

"Senior, I am willing to serve you as a slave. Please grant me a Mind-Concentrating Pill to help me break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining!"

The crowd swarmed forward, almost completely surrounding Qin Mo.

If Zheng Hong hadn't stepped in front of him in time, he would have been overwhelmed by these people long ago.

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

Zheng Hong roared, and a surge of Foundation Establishment Realm energy erupted from his body, scattering everyone around him.

He's really become famous.

These guys offered themselves to him, becoming his slaves, just to take his place?

"Major overhaul at the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

The crowd was intimidated by Zheng Hong's imposing aura; those with lower cultivation levels were so frightened that their legs went weak and they all retreated.

The lobby was quiet for a moment.

"Young man, could you give me a Meridian Opening Pill? I want to become a cultivator too!"

A childish voice came from below.

Qin Mo looked down and saw a beautiful little girl tugging at his clothes, looking up at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

How did you know I was a handsome young man?

Qin Mo was somewhat surprised.

"Niannian just knows."

The little girl smiled innocently. "Big brother, please give Nian Nian a Meridian Opening Pill. My parents said that if I take one, I can become a cultivator, and those people won't dare to bully my parents anymore."

"Whose child is this? Come and take them home!"

Zheng Hongchong said to the crowd.

"Don't yell, you'll scare the child."

Qin Mo waved his hand to stop him.

"Nian, come back quickly..."

In the distance, a middle-aged couple, their faces filled with fear, squeezed towards them.

Qin Mo glanced at them.

The Furnace of Transformation transmitted a message stating that the two were merely ordinary mortals, not even at the Qi Refining stage.

"Dad, Mom, I'm asking my older brother for a Meridian Opening Pill!"

The little girl called out to her parents.

"I didn't bring the Meridian Opening Pill with me."

Qin Mo took out a small jade bottle from his storage bag. "Here's a Youth Preservation Pill. You can exchange it for a Meridian Opening Pill, which is more than enough."

"A pill to preserve youth!"

Upon hearing this, all the female cultivators present fixed their gazes on the jade bottle in Qin Mo's hand.

That's a pill that can keep you looking young, one of which is worth ten Meridian Opening Pills.

"Thank you, little brother!"

The little girl happily reached out to take it.

The moment her fingertips touched the back of Qin Mo's hand, the Qiankun Huasheng Furnace in Qin Mo's dantian trembled violently.

A line of words came to mind.

Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Root.

Qin Mo froze.

Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Root.

She possesses the same top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root as Su Qingyi.

This little girl, who looks no more than five or six years old, actually possesses the most heaven-defying talent in the cultivation world.

Qin Mo took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his pounding heart.

"Little guy."

He crouched down, trying to keep his tone calm, and asked, "Would you like to become my disciple?"

The lobby fell silent instantly.

"What?"

"This senior actually wants to take this little girl as his apprentice?"

Everyone was stunned.

Especially Nian's parents, who had originally planned to spend everything to ask this senior for a Meridian Opening Pill, never dreaming that the senior would take the initiative to accept their daughter.

"Daughter...please...please say yes!"

Niannian's father's voice was trembling.

"Say yes quickly!"

The mother's eyes reddened, and she trembled with emotion.

In the corner, Gu Yingxue, dressed in white and veiled, sat up slightly.

Her gaze fell on the little girl, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Why would this senior take the initiative to accept a disciple?

Could this little girl possess some amazing talent?

Shen Ruoyan also watched this scene with suspicion, her eyes behind the veil becoming more serious.

"Young man, if I worship you, will I become a cultivator? Will I be able to protect my parents?"

The little girl tilted her head and asked.

"Of course."

Qin Mo reached out and patted her head. "And you will become a very powerful cultivator."

With a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root, the cultivation speed is absolutely heaven-defying.

Su Qingyi reached the Golden Core Realm in just a few years; this girl's talent is no less than hers.

Su Qingyi, just you wait.

The disciples I train will one day be someone you look up to.

"Yes! Nian is willing to become your apprentice, big brother!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she knelt down in front of Qin Mo and kowtowed three times in a very proper manner.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Qin Mo laughed out loud.

But after laughing, he froze.

Wait, I'm only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and I don't know anything about alchemy. How can I teach my disciples?

You can't expect someone with a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root to help him move useless pills, can you?

Okay, I'll accept it first.

With the Transformation Furnace, there's an abundance of elixirs, and the cultivation method can be found gradually; we'll eventually be able to cultivate it.

"Wait!"

A sharp shout rang out from the entrance of the lobby.

Everyone turned around, and an old man in a gray robe strode in, his face gloomy and his aura imposing.

Qin Mo recognized this person.

Fang Tianhe, an elder of the Fang family.

"Tianhe, what do you want to do?"

Zheng Hong stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Mo.

"How could someone from the Fang family become an apprentice of another?"

Fang Tianhe stared coldly at Qin Mo, "Especially a masked person of unknown origin."

Qin Mo frowned.

This little girl is actually from the Fang family?

"Elder! We are merely a collateral branch of the Fang family, and we have no right to cultivate the Fang family's techniques. Yet you forbid my daughter from becoming an apprentice. Aren't you trying to cut off her path?"

Nian's father became anxious, his face turning red.

"So what? As long as you have the surname Fang, you have to listen to the Fang family's rules."

Fang Tianhe completely ignored him.

"That's too much!"

Nian's father clenched his fists. "What has the Fang family ever given us?"

"We have no cultivation techniques, no resources. We, the collateral branches, are toiling away in the mines, while the direct descendants are enjoying themselves. Now they're even taking away our daughters' chance to become apprentices?"

"Are we, the collateral branches of the Fang family, destined to be slaves to the direct descendants?"

"The direct descendants live the high life, while we have to save up even a single miscellaneous spirit stone ourselves!"

Many members of the Fang family's collateral branches in the hall spoke up, releasing their long-suppressed resentment.

"Are you trying to rebel?"

Fang Tianhe unleashed his inner energy, a pressure reminiscent of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator bearing down upon you. "Without your direct descendants to feed you, you would have starved to death on the streets long ago!"

The cultivators from the collateral branches were so overwhelmed by this aura that they could hardly breathe, and they all shrank back, no longer daring to utter a sound.

"What a magnificent sight!"

Qin Mo coldly said, "It's none of your Fang family's business to interfere when I take on disciples."

I don't care who you are.

Fang Tianhe glanced at Qin Mo disdainfully, "My Fang family is backed by Yunyu Palace and Tiandan Pavilion."

"I have sent messages to the elders of Yunyu Palace and the alchemy masters of Tiandan Pavilion, and they are on their way."

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here now and never show your face in Yunxia Town again. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."

The lobby was completely silent.

Cloud and Rain Palace.

Tian Dan Pavilion.

With these two mountains pressing down on them, everyone present had to be careful even when breathing.

"Oh?"

Qin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his tone so indifferent that it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. "Then let them come."

He glanced down at Nian, who was kneeling on the ground, staring at him with wide eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I've decided to take this disciple as my apprentice."
