Primordial Treasure Mirror

After returning to his cave, Su Yang began preparing for the Mind Cultivation Gathering five days later.

He had figured out what he wanted to trade at the small gathering, and how to obtain the pills he wanted in a long-term and stable manner.

"I hope things will go smoothly in five days."

Su Yang looked forward to the small gathering to cultivate his mind.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yang arrived at the Yangxin Pavilion.

The location of the Mind Cultivation Gathering was quite special; it was set up in the basement of the Mind Cultivation Pavilion.

When Su Yang arrived.

Many of the staff at Yangxin Pavilion were already waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing him present the blue jade talisman, a person stepped forward and led him into the house.

Su Yang followed the waiter through the front hall, around the side hall, and arrived at an inconspicuous hidden door.

The waiter lightly made a hand gesture and touched the hidden door.

The hidden door then slid open to both sides, revealing a downward-sloping stone staircase.

Fist-sized luminous pearls were embedded in the stone walls on both sides of the passage, illuminating the originally dark underground area.

"Please, senior."

The waiter respectfully led the way for Su Yang.

Su Yang followed him down the stone steps, passed through several side paths, and walked about three stories high before reaching the end of the passage.

At the end of the passage was another stone door.

The man still used the hand seal to open the stone door, then stepped aside:

"I can only take you this far. Please make your own way there."

Su Yang nodded and stepped inside.

After walking a few steps, the view suddenly opened up before me.

A spacious hall appeared before him, seemingly large enough to accommodate thirty or forty people.

Above was a bright pearl the size of a human head, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.

In the center of the hall is a circular area, with a row of wooden chairs neatly arranged around it.

Sufficient spacing was provided between the seats.

There are several passageways around the hall, and the one Su Yang just entered through is just one of them.

In addition to the passageway, there are seven or eight small stone chambers embedded in the surrounding area.

Su Yang glanced around and saw that the stone chambers were all closed, while people were continuously entering through the passageway.

When Su Yang arrived.

There were already about ten people sitting on the chairs in the middle of the hall.

Most people either wear a straw hat, mask, or veil to cover their faces, or use some kind of magic to blur the outline of their faces.

Only a few people didn't hide their faces and openly showed them.

These individuals are either of unusual backgrounds or possess exceptional strength.

Su Yang recognized these people who had appeared. One of them was a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator who lived in the market, and the others were cultivators from well-known small families.

"Those who conceal their appearance are obviously trying to avoid being targeted by others by showing off their wealth. Those who don't conceal their appearance are either confident that they can protect themselves or confident that no one will dare to lay a hand on them."

Su Yang thought to himself.

His arrival naturally attracted the attention of many people.

After all, he was a cultivator who did not conceal his appearance, and he was a complete stranger.

Su Yang didn't care about the stares of the crowd, nor did he sit in the front row. Instead, he chose a chair at the back and sat down.

Not far from him sat a cultivator whose face was covered by a bamboo hat. His aura was slightly stronger than Su Yang's, and he should be around the eighth level of Qi Refining.

When the cultivator saw Su Yang sit down, he turned to look at him but didn't say anything.

Su Yang was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he sat there quietly and waited for the meeting to begin.

after awhile.

More people came in through several passages.

The seats in the hall gradually filled up to more than half.

Su Yang glanced at them and saw that there were about thirty people, most of whom were in the late stage of Qi Refining.

A few of them, who were in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, clearly had extraordinary identities, and were accompanied by elders who were in the late-stage of Qi Refining.

In the entire hall, the most conspicuous figures are naturally the cultivators who have reached the peak of Qi Refining.

There were three such cultivators sitting together. They were quite familiar with each other and were all well-known powerful figures who had lived in Jinshafang City for many years.

After most of these people had arrived.

Guo Yuanhua, the head manager of Yangxin Pavilion, walked in.

He spotted Su Yang sitting in the back at a glance, and nodded slightly to Su Yang as a greeting.

Su Yang naturally returned the greeting.

Guo Yuanhua knew that Su Yang was an alchemist, so it was normal for him to pay more attention to him, but that was all.

Guo Yuanhua walked to the center, looked around, cleared his throat, and began to speak:

"Gentlemen, as usual, I will be presiding over today's small gathering on cultivating the mind, and the rules will be the same as before."

"Please take turns coming to the center, bring out what you want to trade, and clearly state what you want in exchange or how many spirit stones you want."

"If no one bids, the next person will be invited. After everyone has had their turn, people can then freely exchange ideas."

"Transactions are entirely voluntary. You must not force anyone, nor should you cause any conflict here over transactions. If you break the rules, don't blame the Guo family for not giving you face."

Guo Yuanhua paused at this point.

Seeing that no one objected, he took out a short sword from his storage bag, which was covered with a faint blue light, and showed it off in his hand.

"As usual, let my Yangxin Pavilion be the one to start the discussion."

"This Azure Frost Short Sword is a top-grade magic weapon. It is engraved with three sharpness restrictions and two armor-piercing restrictions. Although it is common among top-grade magic weapons, it is still extremely precious."

"My Guo family will soon be forging a spiritual artifact, and we are currently lacking second-tier spiritual iron of the water and wood elements. If any fellow Daoist has suitable second-tier spiritual iron, we can exchange it for this artifact."

Guo Yuanhua did not mention how many spirit stones this magic sword was worth, implying that it could not be purchased with spirit stones.

Su Yang looked at the Azure Frost Sword with a slight envious look.

After all, it is a top-grade magic weapon. Even if he is not skilled in swordsmanship, obtaining it would greatly increase his strength.

But he simply couldn't afford it.

"Second-grade spirit iron is equally precious. Not all the cultivators present may have it, and even if they do, they may not be willing to exchange it for this top-grade magic sword."

Su Yang thought to himself.

as predicted.

After Guo Yuanhua finished speaking, although the many cultivators in the hall were envious, no one spoke up.

Guo Yuanhua waited for a while, and seeing no response, he was not disappointed. He simply shook his head, put away his magical artifact, and sat down to the side.

"Who's next, fellow Daoist?"

One of the rogue cultivators, who was sitting on the left side of the front row, was the first to stand up and walk to the center.

He wore a mask, had a burly build, and spoke in a very deep voice. Su Yang thought he might have deliberately altered his voice.

"I have a hundred-year-old Yangling Grass, which is top-tier among first-grade spiritual materials. It is well-preserved and I would like to exchange it for a mid-grade defensive magic weapon, or an equivalent amount of spirit stones."

After he finished speaking, he took out the Yangling Grass.

The crowd examined the item's condition and asked questions from time to time.

The man answered them one by one.

Someone was willing to buy it, but they didn't have a mid-grade defensive magic weapon and were only willing to offer spirit stones, and the price was lower than the person expected.

Ultimately, the deal fell through and was not completed.

The man wasn't annoyed; he put away the medicinal herbs and returned to his seat.

Then another female cultivator wearing a black veil stepped forward and said in a low voice:

"I have a map that marks the location of a cave dwelling, which is suspected to be the place where a Foundation Establishment cultivator passed away."

"I am not here to trade it, but rather to invite a few fellow Daoists to explore this place with me."
