Primordial Treasure Mirror

A modified version of the "Hidden God Technique" was completed.

Su Yang no longer needs to worry about his true cultivation level being discovered.

Now I can cultivate without any worries.

He calmed his mind, took out a top-grade Qi Condensation Pill from the mirror, and put it in his mouth.

Today's practice has begun.

Su Yang was so engrossed in his cultivation that he was completely unaware of the passage of time.

After a night of meditation.

His spiritual power has grown even stronger.

Su Yang nodded in satisfaction.

At this pace.

In ten days at most, he will be able to complete the third level of Qi Refining.

At this time.

He suddenly remembered the Huangyadan that Wu Buyan had mentioned last night.

Since Huangyadan can be collected at any time.

Then why doesn't he go and get it?

Anyway, he has already reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, he also possesses the magical powers of the Treasure Mirror.

One Huangya Dan is equivalent to five top-grade Huangya Dan.

The potency of the medicine has increased many times over.

With such assistance.

It became much easier for him to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

And there's no need to worry about any bottlenecks anymore.

Huangyadan is much more potent than Ningyuandan.

If one uses the highest grade Yellow Sprout Pill for cultivation, the effect will definitely be much better than the highest grade Condensing Essence Pill.

He might be able to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining in just five or six days.

By then, he will have a certain degree of self-protection ability on Emerald Spirit Peak.

At least we don't have to worry about retaliation from Wu Buyan's side.

Once he has mastered a few spells, he can try to take revenge on those two old dogs, Ding Yue and Pang Yue.

As far as he knows.

Ding Yue and Pang Yue, as managers of Cui Ling Peak, had a cultivation level of at most the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Having lived a life of luxury on Emerald Peak for many years, he never ventured out to gain experience or engage in magical battles with others.

Their strength is self-evident.

Su Yang also possesses the ability to deduce and improve spells.

He was confident that he could defeat Ding Yue and Pang Yue once he broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

of course.

The safest option is to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

At that point, it would have been a complete rout.

Su Yang is a person who seeks stability. If possible, he would definitely want to break through to the sixth level before taking revenge.

Anyway, given his cultivation speed, breaking through to the sixth level won't take too long.

Why can't we let those two old dogs live a little longer?

Thinking of this, Su Yang felt much better.

The image of Liu Mei's alluring face resurfaced in his mind.

It wasn't that he had feelings for Liu Mei.

Rather, it was because Liu Mei gave him the "Hidden God Technique" yesterday that, regardless of her purpose, she had done him a favor.

If a suitable opportunity arises in the future, Su Yang will definitely repay the favor.

However, if Liu Mei and Wu Buyan and the others were to have any wicked ideas, it would be detrimental to him.

He won't hold back either.

He will repay kindness, and he will avenge wrongs even more.

The sky gradually brightened.

Su Yang got out of bed and went back to work.

During the day, they still went to the Spirit Ironwood Forest to cut down spirit trees.

Fifty trees are no longer a burden for him.

Even though he suppressed his cultivation to the first level of Qi Refining, he still managed to complete his work for the day by evening.

Su Yang pretended to be tired and went back into the house.

It was completely unremarkable.

After staying inside for a while, he got up and walked north along the mountain path.

After walking up the mountain for a while...

Su Yang arrived at his destination.

This is a courtyard that is not very large, with low-lying spiritual trees planted on both sides of the road.

Su Yang walked to the gate and looked up at the inscription on the gate.

The House of Common Things.

The Shuwuyuan (庶物院) is where the sect distributes monthly stipends to these menial disciples.

One of the basic benefits that the miscellaneous disciples of the Qingyang Sect can enjoy is a monthly distribution of one spirit stone and one Qi Condensation Pill.

Su Yang didn't come here to collect his monthly allowance; today wasn't the day for distributing it.

He came here to collect Huangyadan (a traditional Chinese medicine).

Enter the Shūmono-in (household department).

Su Yang found the place even more deserted than he had imagined.

The courtyard was small, and there wasn't a single person outside the house.

Only the door of one room, which faces the courtyard gate, was open.

Su Yang walked into the house.

The furnishings inside were simple: a tall counter and a few tables and chairs.

Behind the counter sat a middle-aged monk with a troubled expression.

He was sitting cross-legged in a chair.

With his hands forming a mudra and spiritual energy circulating throughout his body, he was clearly practicing cultivation.

Su Yang paused upon seeing this.

Hesitant about whether to interrupt.

The middle-aged cultivator had already begun to finish his practice, clearly having noticed Su Yang's arrival.

After a few breaths.

The middle-aged cultivator slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.

His gaze fell on Su Yang, and after looking him over, his brows furrowed further when he saw Su Yang's drab, tattered servant's clothes.

"What are you doing here? Don't you know it's not time to distribute monthly allowances yet?"

"Come again on the fifth day of next month. It's only the fifth day of the month now, this is outrageous!"

Su Yang knew he had misunderstood, so he took out his entry certificate from his pocket and handed it over with both hands:

"Sir, I'm not here to collect my monthly allowance, I'm here to collect my Yellow Sprout Pills."

The middle-aged cultivator was slightly taken aback, then reached out and took the certificate, glancing at it.

Upon seeing the name and entry date above, he immediately glared at Su Yang with annoyance:

"What are you doing, a newly hired handyman, receiving Yellow Sprout Pills?"

"That's for cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining to break through their bottleneck. You probably haven't even reached the first level of Qi Refining yet, have you?"

"It's no use for you to take it back. Come back when you reach the third level of Qi Refining."

Su Yang's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was calm:

"This disciple knows the uses of the Yellow Sprout Pill, but if this disciple wants the Yellow Sprout Pill to be useful, shouldn't the sect's rules allow me to obtain it at any time?"

The middle-aged cultivator raised an eyebrow, surprised that even though he had explained himself clearly, the servant in front of him still didn't understand.

He suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly:

"I'm asking you, did someone send you to collect it? Was it one of those old handymen who've been here for a few years, asking you to give them the yellow bud pills so they can help you out in the future?"

Su Yang was taken aback, not expecting that the manager knew about such things.

Seeing him in a daze, the middle-aged cultivator assumed he had guessed correctly and his tone became serious:

"Let me tell you, I've seen this kind of thing a lot. Some people don't know how to cultivate themselves, so they try to take advantage of you newcomers."

"Once you get the pills, they'll renege on their promise. What can you do then?"

His tone softened a bit as he spoke:

"You're new to this, so it's normal for you to get scammed since you don't know the ropes here."

"Take my advice and go back to cultivate diligently. Once you've truly reached the third level of Qi Refining, come back for the Yellow Sprout Pill. Using it on yourself then will be far more beneficial than anything else."

Su Yang couldn't help but take another look at the steward.

This person was genuinely impatient just now, but now he is truly thinking of him.

He had assumed that the managers in the sect were all like Ding Yue and Pang Yue.

But unexpectedly, there was a kind person in the commoners' quarters.

Su Yang bowed and thanked him.

"Thank you for the reminder, but I truly need it for myself; I was not deceived."

The middle-aged manager shook his head, clearly not believing it.

Seeing Su Yang's resolute attitude, I didn't bother to say anything more.

With a flick of his wrist, a small jade bottle appeared in his palm, which he casually tossed onto the counter.

"Take it, but I'll say it one last time: if you really get scammed out of this pill, it won't help you find anyone."

"The sect won't concern itself with the trivial matters between you menial disciples!"
