Primordial Treasure Mirror

Facing the siege of Su Yang and the cultivators from Shenyao Mountain.

The Tianhe Sect cultivators couldn't hold on and soon suffered minor injuries.

He unleashed two defensive talismans, blocking their attacks, then gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at them:

"You all better remember this, this isn't over!"

The Tianhe Sect cultivators, no longer wanting to fight, glanced once more at the Blood Vermilion Fruit in the center of the valley, and reluctantly flew away on the wind.

The cultivators from Shenyao Mountain chased after them for a while, but seeing that the cultivators from Tianhe Sect were moving too fast, and remembering the Blood Vermilion Fruit in the center of the valley, they ultimately did not follow.

The scene finally quieted down.

The disciple from Divine Medicine Mountain flew back and landed beside the Blood Vermilion Fruit. He turned around and looked at Su Yang with obvious wariness in his eyes.

He gripped his short sword tightly, sizing up Su Yang, his tone neither warm nor cold:

"Fellow Daoist helped me, is it because you have your eye on this spiritual herb? Fellow Daoist saved me, so in principle this spiritual herb should belong to at least half of you, but this spiritual herb is very important to me. Fellow Daoist, could you give me the spiritual herb? I will compensate you with enough spirit stones."

Su Yang shook his head slightly and spoke under the tense gazes of the disciples of Divine Medicine Mountain:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I did not come for the elixir, but rather to help those in need."

The disciples of Shenyao Mountain relaxed slightly, but remained somewhat wary.

Su Yang continued:

"Of course, I also heard from that person that you are a cultivator from Divine Medicine Mountain. I recently broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining and I lack pills for cultivation. I wanted to use your connection with Divine Medicine Mountain to buy some pills."

The wariness on the faces of the Shenyao Mountain disciples lessened considerably. They sheathed their short swords and revealed smiles.

"I see. My name is Zheng Yuan, and I am indeed a disciple of Shenyao Mountain, studying under Master Yaoxiang."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, if you only need pills, there is absolutely no problem. After leaving this secret realm, you are welcome to come to Divine Medicine Mountain to find me. I can get you any pills below the second rank."

Upon hearing the title "Master of Medicine," Su Yang's eyes lit up.

It should be noted that in the cultivation world, the alchemy masters are usually referred to as second-level alchemists.

Su Yang never expected that one of the inner disciples of the Divine Medicine Mountain he had saved would actually have a second-level alchemist as his master.

Even if he was just one of the disciples of that second-tier alchemist, it was still an unexpected surprise for Su Yang.

"Perhaps we'll have a chance to get our hands on some second-tier pills, or even a used Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Su Yang was overjoyed, and a happy expression appeared on his face:

"Is what you're saying true, fellow Daoist? It's possible to buy pills below the second rank?"

Zheng Yuan nodded quickly, a hint of arrogance on his face:

"Although my master is not well-known, he is the second-level alchemist in Divine Medicine Mountain who is most skilled at refining cultivation pills."

He paused here, slightly embarrassed:

"As the fourth disciple under my master, I am not highly valued. Although I can obtain pills, the prices are not low."

"Moreover, the pills are not necessarily refined by Master. Master now spends most of his time refining second-tier pills, and only occasionally refines some top-tier first-tier pills."

"However, my senior brothers are also extremely skilled in alchemy, all of them are top-tier first-level alchemists, so the quality of their pills is definitely not a problem."

Su Yang didn't expect to have a second-level alchemist specially refine pills for him.

Even if Zheng Yuan could do it, Su Yang couldn't afford the price.

"It would be great if we could get some pills."

Su Yang feigned a sigh of relief, his face beaming with excitement:

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I've been really worried sick lately trying to find a stable source of pills."

"Fellow Daoist should also know the hardships of being a rogue cultivator. If I could obtain pills from you, it would truly solve a great problem for me."

Zheng Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment:

"Actually, even without me, you can still buy cultivation pills by going to Divine Medicine Mountain."

Su Yang shook his head:

"I know that, but pills obtained through other people are nowhere near as reliable as those obtained through the alchemy master's disciple, fellow Daoist."

"And surely you, fellow cultivator, also possess many pills that are not normally sold to outside cultivators?"

Zheng Yuan smiled and nodded:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, since you helped me today, I will risk my reputation to get you the pills you want."

"By the way, I still don't know how to address a friend?"

Su Yang was so overjoyed that he forgot to introduce himself, so he quickly slapped his forehead and said:

"I'm so sorry, I was just too excited. My name is Jiang Cen, and I'm currently residing in Jinshafang City."

Zheng Yuan took out a communication jade talisman from his storage bag, infused it with his divine sense and spiritual power, and handed it to Su Yang:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Cen, if you ever come to my Divine Medicine Mountain, you will be able to contact me through this jade talisman. At that time, I will introduce you to some of my senior brothers."

"I can even let you buy some pills with spirit stones, but not too many. After all, you should know the rules of my Divine Medicine Mountain. You still need to have enough spiritual materials or top-grade pills."

Su Yang took the jade talisman and handed his own communication jade talisman to Zheng Yuan in return.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I understand the rules. I will definitely prepare enough items to exchange for the pills."

"If you ever come to Yangzhou again, you may also look for me at Jinsha Market."

Zheng Yuan put away the jade talisman and nodded to Su Yang:

"In that case, I will take this spiritual herb first. This Blood Vermilion Fruit is very important to a batch of pills that my master is refining. Fortunately, it was not snatched away by the cultivators of the Heavenly River Sect."

Su Yang gestured for him to proceed.

Zheng Yuan quickly put away the Blood Vermilion Fruit and then bid farewell to Su Yang.

As he took his leave, he specifically instructed:

"Fellow Daoist, you should still be careful of the people from the Tianhe Sect. Even though I am in Mingzhou, I know that the cultivators of the Tianhe Sect are vindictive and petty."

"You offended him just now. If you encounter him again, he will definitely cause you trouble. The Tianhe Sect is very powerful, so please be careful, fellow Daoist. Avoid them if possible, and don't confront them head-on."

Su Yang nodded:

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Zheng."

Zheng Yuan stopped being polite with him:

"Then I shall take my leave. Fellow Daoist Jiang, please take care. We shall meet again at Divine Medicine Mountain in the future."

After saying that, Zheng Yuan leaped up and flew off in one direction, his figure quickly disappearing.

Su Yang watched him leave, then stood there and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Now we can be considered to have gotten on board with Shenyao Mountain."

"Top-grade pills are nothing rare for me. I can get at least five every day. As long as I can maintain contact with Zheng Yuan, I will definitely not have to worry about pills for Qi Refining cultivation. Maybe I can even find a way to get pills for Foundation Establishment through them."

Thinking about this...

Su Yang felt more and more that rescuing Zheng Yuan today was an extremely worthwhile deal.

He leaped up and rushed towards the direction of the Yang Cauldron he had sensed.

After flying for a short while,

Su Yang suddenly frowned.

He sensed two auras rapidly approaching each other.

And it was heading straight in his direction.
