Primordial Treasure Mirror

Only cultivators under the age of fifty are allowed to enter the secret realm.

Upon hearing this news, Su Yang immediately deduced that the highest cultivation level among those who entered the secret realm this time was probably only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

After all, the youngest late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Qingyang Sect is already over 60 years old, which does not meet the entry requirements.

The other three major sects should be roughly the same, and may even be inferior to Qingyang Sect.

In terms of strength, Qingyang Sect can be considered the strongest among the four major sects.

Tianhe Sect is slightly weaker, but it is still stronger than the two major Golden Core sects in Mingzhou.

Mingzhou's overall strength is weaker than Yangzhou's.

Whether it's the top-level Golden Core cultivators or the middle-level Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Qingyuan Sect and Huangsha Sect are no match for the Qingyang Sect and Tianhe Sect.

The talents of the disciples they recruit are naturally difficult to match those of the Qingyang Sect.

Unless they recruit a disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root in recent decades, it is unlikely that a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator under the age of fifty will appear.

Su Yang had never heard of such a disciple.

As for cultivators coming from other places, that's even more impossible.

The news reached Jinshafang Market in just two days.

Li Yunxiu then summoned Liu Yuan and Su Yang.

She sat at the head of the table, her expression more solemn than usual:

"You should all have heard about the situation in the secret realm. I have already sent a message to the sect that I need to go into the secret realm."

"You will wait for me in the market. If I return, I will still be in Jinsha Market, and you will continue to work for me then."

"If I don't return, a new town keeper will arrive soon. As for you, whether you stay or leave is entirely up to that keeper."

Upon hearing this...

Liu Yuan's expression tightened, and his eyes showed a hint of panic.

He didn't want anything to happen to Li Yunxiu.

If a new garrison commander were to arrive, he would certainly bring his own retinue of servants, making it impossible for him to retain his current power.

Although Su Yang didn't care about power, he didn't want to change the garrison commander.

If the new garrison commander is too ambitious, he won't be able to enjoy such a leisurely life anymore.

It seemed to sense their reluctance to part.

Li Yunxiu continued:

"If you do not wish to remain in the market, you may come with me into the secret realm. However, I may not be able to look after you much within the secret realm."

Liu Yuan then realized what was happening and bowed respectfully.

"Our cultivation levels are too low, so we shouldn't be a burden to the fairy maiden."

Su Yang echoed:

"The fairy maiden is going to seek her own destiny; she doesn't need to take us two as a burden."

He naturally preferred to stay in the market and cultivate peacefully.

Secret realms are dangerous places, you should avoid them if you can avoid them.

Li Yunxiu nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said nothing more.

After the two left the garrison.

We walked together for a while.

Liu Yuan expressed his concerns, saying that he did not want anything to happen to Li Yunxiu.

He also said that if something happened to Li Yunxiu, he wanted to go directly back to the sect and ask Su Yang for his plans.

Su Yang told him that they couldn't decide this matter; since Li Yunxiu had an accident, the power to arrange things for them would fall to the newly arrived garrison commander.

If the new garrison commander is easy to get along with, Su Yang would be willing to stay.

Of course, it would be best if nothing happened to Li Yunxiu.

The two talked for a while longer.

They then dispersed.

After returning to his cave, Su Yang pondered what he might have to deal with next and then began cultivating.

And the next day.

His communication talisman lit up, and Liu Yuan told him that Li Yunxiu had summoned the two of them again.

Su Yang rushed to the garrison headquarters and went with Liu Yuan to pay their respects to Li Yunxiu.

Li Yunxiu seemed a little more relaxed, and he told the two of them:

"Several disciples from the sect will be arriving later. You will come with me to greet them."

Both of them couldn't help but show surprise.

This was unexpected for both of them.

With a flick of her sleeve, Li Yunxiu carried the two of them into the air and arrived at the entrance of the market.

The entire Jinshafang area.

Only Li Yunxiu and a few members of the Guo and Shanglin families had the privilege of flying.

The three of them waited at the entrance of the market for a short while.

Then a streak of light came from afar.

The flowing light gradually revealed its true form as it approached from afar.

It turned out to be a small airship.

The airship was only the size of a house, and it quickly landed outside the canyon.

Three cultivators, two men and one woman, dressed in the robes of true disciples of the Qingyang Sect, disembarked from the flying boat.

One of the male cultivators waved his hand, put away the flying boat, and walked towards Li Yunxiu.

Li Yunxiu also went to greet them, and respectfully said:

"Junior sister Li Yunxiu greets the three senior brothers and sisters."

Su Yang and Liu Yuan quickly followed, saying in unison:

"I have met the fairy maiden and the two immortal masters."

Su Yang lowered his eyes in surprise; he never expected to run into someone he knew among the true disciples.

One of the two male cultivators was none other than Jiang Yanchen, one of the ten inner disciples who had guided Min Yue in alchemy.

However, Jiang Yanchen was at the peak of Qi Refining back then, but now he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and become a true disciple.

Su Yang was not surprised by this.

In order to deal with the matter of demonic cultivators, the sect distributed Foundation Establishment Pills in advance, so it was only natural that Jiang Yanchen would break through.

He just didn't expect to run into Jiang Yanchen at Jinsha Market.

No one paid any attention to the two servants.

The male cultivator who was the leader among the three true disciples recognized Li Yunxiu and said with a smile:

"Junior Sister Yunxiu, there's no need for such formalities."

He then introduced the other two people to Li Yunxiu:

"You should know this one, Junior Brother Jiang Yanchen, and the other one is Junior Sister Lin Huan."

Li Yunxiu quickly greeted him:

"Senior Brother Jiang Yanchen, it's been a long time. And Senior Sister Lin Huan, I've heard so much about you."

The four exchanged a few pleasantries.

Su Yang also learned the name of the leader: Yang Ding.

Of these, only Jiang Yanchen is a newly appointed disciple; the other two had already become disciples several years ago.

Li Yunxiu led the three into Jinsha Market and invited them into the garrison headquarters.

Su Yang and Liu Yuan stood respectfully to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

The two menial disciples didn't even have the right to speak here.

The difference in status between true disciples and menial disciples is too great. If they show the slightest disrespect, the three true disciples can kill them on the spot.

Li Yunxiu wouldn't say another word about it.

Jiang Yanchen's gaze never lingered on Su Yang.

Clearly, Jiang Yanchen did not recognize Su Yang as the lowly alchemist under Min Yue.

Su Yang remained unmoved.

Given Jiang Yanchen's status, it's perfectly normal for him not to remember a Dan Tong (a type of alchemy apprentice).

Back on Tianqing Peak, Jiang Yanchen didn't even glance at them.

His menial tasks were nothing more than dispensable dust.

Li Yunxiu asked the two to prepare spiritual tea and fruits, and then she began to talk with the three true disciples.

After Su Yang and Liu Yuan served tea and brewed water, they quietly stepped aside and listened to the group talk about the secret realm.

From the words of the group.

Su Yang learned that they had come together to seek opportunities in the secret realm.

The secret realm will open tomorrow. Yang Ding happened to know that Li Yunxiu was guarding Jinsha Market, so he brought two other people to stay here.

They learned that Li Yunxiu was also going to enter the secret realm.

After consulting with the other two, Yang Ding invited Li Yunxiu to join their team.

Li Yunxiu would not refuse.

Just then, Lin Huan, the Jurchen disciple who hadn't spoken much, suddenly looked at Su Yang and the other two with great interest and said:

"Junior Sister Li, I left the sect in a hurry this time and forgot to bring anyone with me to handle miscellaneous tasks. I wonder if I could borrow two of your menial servants?"
