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

When Qin Mo returned to the Valley of Broken Pills, it was just dawn.

Without resting, he went straight into the No. 16 Residual Pill Pavilion and began searching for discarded high-grade Body Tempering Pills.

I've been stuck on the Great Completion of the Copper Skin Realm for far too long.

The Palace Gate Competition is in two days, and the Azure Dragon Sect is eyeing it covetously. He must push his body cultivation to the peak of the Copper Skin Realm before then.

He picked out the high-grade body tempering pills from the three broken pill pavilions, number sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen, one by one.

The Qiankun Transformation Furnace hangs in the dantian, its patterns flowing and rotating.

"Reshape".

A surge of cosmic energy erupted, enveloping the discarded elixir in spiritual light.

After a moment, the furnace wall returned to calm, and the fragrance of cinnamon filled the air.

Qin Mo did not stop.

The second batch, the third batch... all the way up to the tenth batch.

The ten strands of Qiankun Qi were completely exhausted, and sixty reshaped Body Tempering Pills were neatly arranged inside the Transformation Furnace.

The worst rank is sixth grade, and the best rank is fourth grade.

He originally had 546 strands of Qiankun Qi, and now he has 536 strands left.

"Sixty high-grade body tempering pills, with the lowest quality being grade six, I refuse to believe that I can't break through the barrier of the peak of the Copper Skin Realm."

The grand palace competition is the day after tomorrow.

Once the competition ends, the Azure Dragon Sect will make its move.

"start."

Qin Mo sat down cross-legged, took out the first Grade 4 Body Tempering Pill, and swallowed it directly.

……

Meanwhile, on a mountain ridge outside Yunxia Town.

"Miss, that person seems to have appeared out of thin air. I haven't found any clues at all."

A maid in black knelt on one knee, her voice trembling with fear.

"Oh?"

The woman in white turned around.

She was none other than "Ruhua," who used the alias Bai Ruyu and was punched twice by Qin Mo, leaving her with panda eyes.

She has now returned to her original appearance.

Her features were exquisite, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her temperament was aloof and otherworldly.

Unfortunately, the dark circles under her eyes hadn't faded, which, combined with her stunningly beautiful face, made her stand out even more.

"interesting."

Shangguan Yue said calmly, "I came down the mountain to take a look after hearing that a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root had appeared here. I didn't expect to run into such an interesting person. This training trip wasn't a complete waste."

"Miss, your eyes..."

The maid in black looked up and caught sight of the two bruises, and was startled. "Who dares to lay a hand on Miss?"

"It's nothing, I just bumped into it by accident."

Shangguan Yue waved her hand.

"Did you bump into it?"

The maid looked on with suspicion.

The young lady was unwilling to talk about it, and she dared not press her for details.

"Immediately send someone to investigate the background of that mysterious alchemy master who appeared at the Drunken Flower Pavilion."

Shangguan Yue stood with his hands behind his back, "Whether it's this person or that top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root, they can't escape my grasp."

A powerful spiritual pressure poured out from her body.

The maid in black lay on the ground, feeling as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her, her breath almost stopping.

"Yes, Miss!"

Her voice trembled.

Miss's cultivation has improved again.

……

Shangguan Yue had no idea that she was destined to come up empty-handed tonight.

Qin Mo is going into seclusion.

……

"Is Master in seclusion?"

Hua Meiniang stood on the second-floor corridor of Zuihua Tower, holding a list of medicinal herbs in her hand, her face full of frustration.

She went to great lengths to gather the necessary ingredients for refining the Nine Revolutions Breakthrough Pill, but Qin Mo went into seclusion at that very moment.

Just as I was getting impatient, a commotion suddenly broke out in the lobby downstairs.

An uninvited guest stepped into the Drunken Flower Pavilion.

Murong Yi, the Holy Son of the Netherworld Cult.

Hua Meiniang's expression changed slightly, and she turned and walked towards the backyard.

Murong Yi followed closely behind and caught up with her in the backyard room.

His gaze froze the moment it fell on Hua Meiniang's bare arms.

Gonggong sand.

Gone.

"Who is it?"

Murong Yi's voice was forced out through clenched teeth, "Who did this?"

"Who it is is none of your business."

Hua Meiniang said coldly.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Murong Yi's forehead veins bulged. "The holy sons and daughters of the Netherworld Sect have all formed Daoist couples and jointly cultivated the sect's supreme martial art, the 'Netherworld Treasure Scripture.' How dare you cuckold me?"

"How dare you say that?"

Hua Meiniang sneered, "Do you think I don't know who your two personal maids are? You're out there indulging in debauchery while I'm expected to remain chaste for you?"

"I'm a man, it's only natural for me to have multiple wives and concubines!"

Murong Yi said angrily.

"So what if I'm a woman and I keep three or five male lovers?"

Hua Meiniang was not to be outdone.

"you……"

Murong Yi was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Good, very good."

He took a deep breath, turned away with a flick of his sleeve, and said, "Keep being stubborn. Let's see how you explain yourself when the cult leader finds out."

"How I explain myself to the cult leader is my own business."

Hua Meiniang shouted at his retreating figure, "You don't need to bother with this, Holy Son."

Murong Yi slammed the door and left, finding an inn in Yunxia Town to stay in.

He summoned his trusted confidants.

"Investigate this. Whoever dares to touch my woman, Murong Yi, I'll make sure they die a horrible death."

……

Deep within the secret realm of clouds and rain.

Gu Yingxue sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, then suddenly opened her eyes.

Two beams of light shot out from her eyes, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly, condensing into a huge vortex of spiritual energy above her head.

Her body greedily absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, a process that lasted for a full hour.

"He actually broke through to the peak of the Golden Core stage at this moment..."

Gu Yingxue exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the surging new life force within her body.

She finally gained some insight from the two casual remarks Qin Mo made, and overcame the hurdle that had troubled her for many years.

"Congratulations, Martial Uncle!"

Bai Chenshuang walked over quickly.

"How's the collection of the spiritual herbs for refining the Nascent Soul Pill coming along?"

Gu Yingxue asked directly.

"We only managed to collect one portion."

Bai Chenshuang sighed, "The main ingredient, Ningying Grass, is too hard to find, and those that are over a thousand years old are even more priceless."

"The palace competition is the day after tomorrow. After the competition, I will start refining pills. You continue collecting spiritual herbs."

Gu Yingxue paused, "What about the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"Reporting to Martial Uncle, each of the five high-grade spirit stones costs three thousand. I'll buy them all."

Bai Chenshuang said in a deep voice.

"Fifteen thousand high-grade spirit stones..."

Gu Yingxue gritted her teeth. "Good. Even if it's five thousand spirit stones, we have to buy them. What are spirit stones compared to the survival of the sect?"

Bai Chenshuang nodded.

Fifteen thousand high-grade spirit stones, equivalent to the output of their three spirit stone mines for ten years.

But as long as the Foundation Establishment Pill can help inner disciples break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and gather enough people to activate the grand formation, it's all worth it.

……

Yunxia Town was in complete uproar.

Someone actually consumed all the Foundation Establishment Pills, which cost three thousand high-grade spirit stones each.

Zheng Hong released five pills, which were snapped up by a mysterious buyer in less than half a day.

Zheng Hong, clutching 15,000 high-grade spirit stones, felt both regret and fear.

What I regret is that I set the price too low, and what I fear is that this huge sum of money will attract unwanted attention.

He moved directly into the Drunken Flower Pavilion and refused to return to the Divine Weapon Pavilion no matter what.

……

into the night.

Shangguan Yue transformed back into "Ru Hua" and, under the alias Bai Ruyu, rushed to Zuihualou.

"He's in seclusion?"

She was kept out of the door.

The main hall was in complete chaos, with countless cultivators seeking pills becoming increasingly agitated, some even slamming their fists on the table and cursing.

"My master is merely in seclusion, please be patient..."

Zheng Hong raised his voice to comfort him.

The noisy lobby quieted down a little.

In recent days, some unfamiliar faces have begun to frequently appear in Yunxia Town.

The aura was deep and the origin was unknown.

The experts of the Netherworld Cult have also quietly arrived at the outskirts of the Cloud and Rain Palace.

"Looks like the real show is about to begin."

Shangguan Yue stood in the corner of the lobby, a slight smile playing on her lips.

……

That very night, the doors of the Drunken Flower Pavilion were pushed open from the outside.

A suffocating pressure poured in.

The expressions of dozens of cultivators in the hall changed drastically, and some even fell off their chairs to the ground.

An elderly man in black robes stepped across the threshold, followed by Murong Yi, whose face was ashen.

In the corridor on the second floor, Hua Meiniang was flipping through the account books when she sensed this aura and the book in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

The old man in black robes looked up, his gaze piercing through the crowd and locking onto her precisely.

"Hua Mei Niang"

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Do you know your crime?
