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

A figure rushed in from outside the lobby.

Qin Mo looked up and saw that the newcomer had snow-white hair and beard, a ruddy complexion, and not a single wrinkle. He was dressed in the robes of an elder of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion and had a powerful aura.

The old man's gaze swept across the area and locked onto the spirit-testing bead in Nian Nian's hand, which had not yet completely extinguished.

"Haha! A top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root! Little girl, you are destined to be with me. Come back to the Heavenly Pill Pavilion with me and become my disciple!"

The old man reached out and grabbed at something in the air with his right hand.

Niannian's body soared into the air and flew directly into the old man's palm, startling her so much that she screamed.

"Let her go!"

Enraged, Fang Yue formed hand seals, and a blazing fireball shot out from her palms, heading straight for the old man.

A wave of scalding heat swept through the lobby.

"Fireball?"

The old man chuckled and waved his hand casually.

The fireball, powerful enough to incinerate an ordinary cultivator, extinguished silently before him.

An invisible force simultaneously sent Fang Yue flying, her back slamming into a stone pillar in the main hall. Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and several cracks appeared on the pillar.

"Does the light of a firefly dare to rival the brilliance of the sun and moon?"

The old man said proudly.

"Elder Fenyang..."

Fang Tianhe exclaimed in surprise.

This person is none other than Fen Yang, the Grand Elder of Tian Dan Pavilion, a Grandmaster of Alchemy, and a Golden Core Realm expert.

"Hey handsome, save me..."

Niannian struggled in the old man's arms and cried out to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.

He dared not move.

Once a move is made, the cultivation level will be exposed. A mere fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator won't even have a chance to fight back against a Golden Core cultivator.

Instead of saving Niannian, he ended up sacrificing himself.

Burning Sun touched Nian Nian's forehead with his finger, and the little girl immediately fainted.

"daughter!"

Niannian's parents were terrified.

"I am the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion and a Grandmaster of Alchemy."

"The line of people who want to become my disciples could stretch all the way to the gates of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion."

"It is a blessing that this woman has accumulated over many lifetimes to become my disciple."

Fen Yang held Nian Nian in one arm and stood with his hands behind his back.

Grand Elder of Tiandan Pavilion.

Grandmaster of Daoist alchemy.

Golden Core Realm.

Fang Yue was instantly killed in one move, so who dared to utter a sound?

Qin Mo stared intently at Fen Yang.

He had never felt the weight of those two words so clearly before—powerlessness.

Tian Dan Pavilion, I'll remember you.

"Who crippled Fang Daoyun?"

Fen Yang's gaze swept across the main hall.

"It's her!"

Fang Tianhe scrambled forward, pointing at Gu Yingxue, who was dressed in white and masked, in the corner, "This is the woman who crippled Fang Daoyun!"

"Those who destroy my Heavenly Pill Pavilion are courting death!"

Fen Yang glared angrily, about to make a move.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he stopped in his tracks.

"Fine, I'll spare your life for now!"

Before he finished speaking, Fen Yang rushed out of the hall with Nian Nian in his arms, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

"No……"

Fang Tianhe stood there dumbfounded.

He ran away as soon as his backer came, and he didn't get his revenge. What should he do?

"You're quite good at pointing fingers."

Gu Yingxue, dressed in white and veiled, stood up from the corner and walked step by step to Fang Tianhe.

"Senior...I..."

Fang Tianhe's legs trembled, and a wet patch spread across his crotch.

Gu Yingxue reached out with her right hand, grabbed his neck, and casually flung him away.

boom!

Fang Tianhe's body crashed through the side wall of the hall and rolled into the pile of rubble, where he remained motionless.

No one dared to utter a sound in the lobby.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will bring the person back for you."

Gu Yingxue looked at Qin Mo and said calmly, "After we return, we will discuss alchemy again."

After saying that, she stepped out of the hall, transformed into a streak of light, and rose into the sky, chasing after the direction in which Burning Sun had fled.

Almost simultaneously, three sharp auras descended from the sky and landed outside the Drunken Flower Pavilion.

Everyone in the lobby looked terrified.

"Palace Master?"

Fang Yue struggled to sit up.

Palace Master Bai Chenshuang of Yunyu Palace has arrived, accompanied by two elders.

Where are they?

Bai Chenshuang glanced around the lobby.

"Palace Master, that little girl has been kidnapped by Fen Yang of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion!"

Fang Yue shouted urgently.

"Chase!"

Bai Chenshuang and the other two soared into the sky.

"my daughter……"

Niannian's parents collapsed to the ground.

Qin Mo looked at them, feeling a tightness in his chest.

"Senior, please, please save my daughter!"

The two climbed to Qin Mo's feet.

"Don't worry, that fellow Daoist has already gone after them."

Qin Mo spoke calmly, but he was unsure of himself.

"Ha, still pretending to be a reclusive master."

Qin Mo turned his head to look.

Shen Ruoyan stood up from the corner, her gaze behind the veil filled with undisguised scrutiny and disdain.

Jiang Xuerou, who was next to her, also got up.

The moment Jiang Xuerou spoke, Qin Mo recognized her voice.

The woman in purple who handed him the ruined Nascent Soul Pill that night in the Valley of Broken Pills was her.

"What did you say?"

Zheng Hong glared at him angrily.

"If he is truly a master, why did he stand by and watch his disciple be taken away without lifting a finger?"

Shen Ruoyan approached step by step.

"Exactly, why didn't you save them?"

Jiang Xuerou echoed.

"How could you possibly fathom the actions of my master? His inaction has its own profound meaning!"

Zheng Hong stood in front of him.

"Alright then."

Shen Ruoyan's gaze fell on Qin Mo. "Aren't you capable of customizing pills? I'll have one made today."

What would you like to order?

Qin Mo spoke.

Business is coming in.

Are you looking for trouble?

Then don't blame me for taking advantage of you.

"Breakthrough Pill".

Qin Mo almost burst out laughing.

Breakthrough Pill?

He has five in total.

"What's wrong? You can't refine it?"

Shen Ruoyan raised an eyebrow.

"Can."

Don't agree too quickly.

Shen Ruoyan changed the subject, "What I want is not an ordinary breakthrough pill, but a nine-turn breakthrough pill."

Qin Mo's smile froze beneath his mask.

Nine-Turn Breakthrough Pill.

It is a supreme elixir that can help cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment break through to the Golden Core Realm. Its difficulty in refining is no less than that of the Nascent Soul Pill.

He searched the entire No. 18 Remaining Pill Pavilion, but couldn't find a single trace of a Nine-Turn Breakthrough Pill.

"Can't receive it?"

Shen Ruoyan sneered, "I don't need to beg for ordinary breakthrough pills. What I want is the Nine-Turn Pill."

"Eldest sister, Master Tang Mei tried to refine the Nine-Turn Breakthrough Pill three months ago, but she failed and only produced a few waste pills."

Jiang Xuerou said disdainfully, "If he can refine it, wouldn't he be even more powerful than the alchemy grandmasters of our Cloud Rain Palace?"

Qin Mo was startled.

Three months ago.

Elder Tang Mei.

The attempt to refine the Nine-Turn Breakthrough Pill failed.

There are discarded pills.

Where should the discarded pills be sent?

Remnant Pill Pavilion.

Those few ruined Nine-Turn Breakthrough Pills are most likely lying in the Remnant Pill Pavilion that he frequents every day!

"I didn't answer immediately because I was wondering if you could provide the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Nine Revolutions Breakthrough Pill."

Qin Mo was overjoyed, but remained outwardly calm. "Without spiritual herbs, what will we use to refine it?"

"I'll prepare all the elixirs."

Shen Ruoyan gritted her teeth, "I'll deliver it myself tomorrow night. What will you do if you can't refine it by then?"

"I'm at your mercy."

Shen Ruoyan's pupils contracted.

"What if I manage to refine it?"

Qin Mo countered, "And what are you going to do then?"

"I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

Shen Ruoyan looked directly at him.

"Fine. You said it yourself."

"Big sister, this..."

Jiang Xuerou looked worried.

"What's there to be afraid of? Even Master Tang Mei couldn't refine something like this, how could a masked man of unknown origin possibly succeed?"

Shen Ruoyan disagreed.

"Then it's settled."

Qin Mo grinned from behind his mask.

When I get back tomorrow morning, the first thing I'll do is search through the entire Remnant Pill Pavilion.

You're the senior sister of Yunyu Palace, right?

You can wait and do whatever you want with me tomorrow night.
