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

"Magic lamp fluctuation detected. Seal off the outer battlefield!"

An angry shout came from deep within the interlayer.

A grayish-white celestial light swept along the crack, and wherever it passed, the demonic energy dissipated on the spot.

Yu Linglong's expression changed, and she raised her hand to hold the magic lamp to her chest.

The black and red lamplight suddenly lowered, concealing the presence of the two people.

Qin Mo did not continue walking.

He raised his hand to his chest and probed his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The remaining demonic mark is heating up.

The black line clung to the depths of the divine aperture, slowly extending outwards as the celestial light drew near.

Qin Mo frowned.

"It's reporting its location to the Immortal City."

Yu Linglong pursed her lips.

"You're only realizing this now?"

Qin Mo turned to look at her.

Explain yourself.

Yu Linglong raised her hand to block the flames, her fingertips burning red from the demonic fire.

"The complete demonic seal could turn you into the ancestor's demonic slave. You just refined most of it, and now only the remnants of the old seal remain."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "It can't control you; it can only allow the ancestor to sense your approximate location."

Qin Mo looked down at his chest.

"What about the immortal city?"

"The Immortal City can use it to lock onto you."

Yu Linglong's gaze darkened.

"The magic lamp can only hold out for three hundred breaths. After the lamp goes out, the divine light will fall directly on us."

Three hundred interest.

Qin Mo quickly glanced around.

The interlayer of the Demon Realm is shrinking, and the portal behind us has already shrunk to half a meter wide.

A celestial light swept in from afar, and with each approach, the flame of the magic lamp dimmed slightly.

He did not scold Yu Linglong.

Insults are useless now.

Three hundred breaths, and we must find the way into the Immortal City.

Five-colored light appeared in Qin Mo's eyes, and his Qiankun Dharma Eye pierced through the gray-black demonic energy.

The area swept by the divine light immediately revealed dense array patterns.

The array patterns stretched into the distance, only to break off halfway.

Most of the array patterns are gathering soul fire towards the Immortal City.

On the south side, however, there is a section of array patterns that are repeatedly broken.

Each time it breaks, it lights up again from beneath the rubble.

Qin Mo stared at that spot, his gaze lingering.

"South."

Yu Linglong followed his gaze.

"What did you see?"

"The broken edge of the array pattern."

Qin Mo raised his hand and pointed to the south.

"Someone broke the formation from there. The outer ring of the immortal city's formation is incomplete; the entrance is over there."

Yu Linglong did not move immediately.

Are you sure?

Qin Mo withdrew his divine gaze, a stinging pain rising in his eye sockets.

I'm not sure.

He walked towards the south side.

"But we don't have time to find a second way."

The two had just walked ten feet when two beams of white light suddenly appeared above the mezzanine.

Two white jade immortals chased after them through the crack.

They showed no sign of life, yet simultaneously raised their halberds.

Yu Linglong's expression changed, and the magic lamp immediately turned around.

The white light struck the black and red flame, causing the entire magic lamp to shake violently.

Yu Linglong's shoulder was brushed by a glint of light, her clothes tore open, and blood immediately seeped from her skin.

She grunted and took a half step back.

Qin Mo's eyes darkened, and the Five-Colored Golden Pill immediately began to circulate.

As soon as the golden core lit up, immortal light pressed down from above.

The five-colored spiritual energy stagnated.

Qin Mo's arm went numb, and the blood and qi in his body were forced back into his meridians.

He didn't try to hold on; instead, he raised his arm to block Yu Linglong's way.

The aftershock struck the Five Elements Metal Body, causing several bloody gashes to appear on its skin.

Yu Linglong grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the side of the interlayered rock wall.

"Don't make a move!"

She pressed herself against the rock face, blood streaming down her shoulder.

"If you use your spiritual power now, the immortal light will lock you in place."

Qin Mo glanced at her wound.

"How many times can you block it?"

"The Magic Lantern can last for another hundred breaths."

Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and pressed her palm against the lamp handle.

"If we get hit twice more, we'll both die."

The two immortal generals raised their halberds once more.

The celestial light pierced through the edge of the magic lamp and headed straight for Qin Mo's brow.

Qin Mo did not dodge.

He loosened his divine aperture defenses, allowing the remaining demonic seal to be exposed to the divine light.

The black line immediately surged.

The celestial light followed the demonic seal and entered the sea of ​​consciousness, while excruciating pain surged to the top of the head.

Qin Mo swayed, and blood started flowing from his nose.

Yu Linglong reached out to support him.

"Are you crazy?"

Qin Mo did not answer.

The Qiankun Transformation Furnace spun wildly within the dantian.

The furnace lid was opened, and five-colored qi and blood rushed into the divine aperture, enveloping the black line.

Celestial light, demonic seal, and furnace fire—three forces collided in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Mo's five-colored golden pill stopped rotating.

My soul was forcibly torn apart, and all I could hear were sharp ringing sounds.

He braced himself against the rock face with both hands, his fingers sinking inch by inch into the stone.

"Refine it for me!"

The fire in the furnace was suppressed.

The black line began to break.

When the first segment broke, Qin Mo's vision went black, and he almost knelt down.

When the second section broke, cracks appeared in the Five-Colored Golden Elixir.

Yu Linglong gripped his shoulders tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Qin Mo, stop!"

"Shut up."

Qin Mo bit his tongue, forcibly stabilizing his mind.

"If I stop again, it will find me."

The fire continued to consume the flames.

The remaining demonic seal struggled incessantly, and black energy surged into Qin Mo's soul, only to be gradually drawn away by the Qiankun Furnace.

Finally, only half an inch of black line remained.

Qin Mo reduced the furnace fire to a single point, completely burning away the outer layer of the magic seal.

The half-inch black line did not disappear; instead, it condensed into a wisp of special demonic energy and hid inside his five-colored golden core.

Qin Mo opened his eyes.

The five-colored light deep within the pupils had been suppressed by the black mist.

Yu Linglong stared at him, her fingers slowly loosening.

"What did you refine?"

Qin Mo raised his hand.

There was no spiritual energy fluctuation in his palm, and even the aura of his innate Five Elements Dao Body was concealed.

"It can conceal my presence."

Yu Linglong's expression changed.

"How much longer can you hold on?"

"Enough before entering the Immortal City."

Qin Mo looked up at the array patterns on the south side.

He had clearly seen the changes in the array patterns when the demonic seal was being refined.

Behind that broken section lies an ancient battlefield.

"Let's go."

Yu Linglong, however, did not move.

"go back."

Qin Mo turned his head.

"Return to the Demon Palace, Ancestor can open the passage one more time."

She looked at Qin Mo, her voice very low.

"The Magic Lamp suffered too much damage this time. It won't last long if we go any further. If you go in injured, you'll just be eaten by the Immortal City."

Qin Mo looked at the scene within the magical light.

Hua Meiniang and the others are still inside the city.

Several more clusters of soul light rushed into the white jade hall.

Qin Mo withdrew his gaze, his face expressionless.

"Every extra moment they wait, more people will die."

"You might die if you go in."

"Then die inside."

Qin Mo turned and walked away.

"I can't leave them to luck."

Yu Linglong stood there, her fingertips trembling slightly.

The portal behind me is shrinking.

The crack in the direction of the Demon Temple is now only half a person high.

She watched Qin Mo's back for a few moments, then raised her hand and separated half of the black and red flame in the magic lamp.

The flame landed on Qin Mo's shoulder and immediately turned into a thin thread, which then burrowed into his meridians.

Qin Mo paused in his steps.

"What are you doing?"

Yu Linglong quickly followed, her face even paler than before.

"To cover for you."

"This is the essence of the Magic Lantern."

"I know."

She looked up at Qin Mo, her voice direct.

"This time, I'm not doing this for the patriarch. I'm taking you in myself."

Qin Mo glanced at her.

Yu Linglong did not dodge.

"I don't want to owe you two lives."

Qin Mo withdrew his gaze.

"Then stay close."

The two quickly advanced along the array patterns on the south side.

The celestial generals behind him kept closing in, and white light repeatedly grazed the edge of the magic lamp.

The flame of the magic lamp grew lower and lower, and after two hundred breaths, it was only half a foot long.

After a hundred breaths, it was only the size of a fingernail.

Yu Linglong's face was deathly pale, and the wound on her shoulder was burned black by the divine light.

Qin Mo grabbed her arm and led her through the last section of the array.

A crack appeared in front, behind which lay a vast expanse of charred ruins.

At the end of the ruins, white celestial light formed a city wall, and the outer ring of the celestial city had been reached.

Yu Linglong raised her other hand, inserted her five fingers into the void, and forcibly tore open the last gap.

The magic lamp had only three breaths of flame left.

"One breath."

She gritted her teeth.

Qin Mo stepped out of the crevice first.

"Two breaths."

Yu Linglong rushed out right after.

"Three breaths."
