Primordial Treasure Mirror

On the back of the token are engraved intricate array patterns and a miniature mountain of divine medicine.

Su Yang took the token, somewhat curious about what a third-class guest elder meant.

Deacon Yang quickly cleared up his doubts:

"Our Divine Medicine Mountain's guest alchemists are divided into three ranks. Those who can refine six kinds of first-grade low-level pills are in the third rank; those who can refine six kinds of first-grade mid-level pills and one kind of first-grade high-level pills are in the second rank; and those who can refine six kinds of first-grade high-level pills and one kind of first-grade top-level pills are in the first rank."

"Those who are above that level will not be appointed as guest ministers, but will be allowed to enter our sect as outer mountain stewards. Second-level alchemists will become outer mountain elders."

"You two are now third-class guest elders, which grants you the right to travel to the outer mountains and also allows you to enter a small area of ​​the inner mountains to communicate with the alchemists there. However, you cannot go to the core area of ​​the inner mountains without permission."

"Guest alchemists, as guests, are not subject to sect missions; they only need to refine pills. You can submit the pills you refine to the General Affairs Hall in exchange for contribution points."

"Contribution points can be exchanged for spiritual materials, pills, spirit stones, pill formulas, and even alchemy inheritances in the General Affairs Hall. They can also be used to borrow alchemy furnaces and request guidance from alchemists."

"As long as you have enough contribution points, you can even ask a second-tier alchemist from Uchiyama to give you individual guidance."

Su Yang was not surprised when he heard about the pill formula and the inheritance of alchemy, but when he heard about it, he was overjoyed.

He came to Shenyao Mountain with two purposes.

One was to exchange for cultivation pills, and the other was to see if they could obtain a lineage of alchemy.

Needless to say, he could get pills from Zheng Yuan even without contribution points.

Su Yang never expected that becoming a guest alchemist would even solve the problem of inheriting the alchemy tradition.

It was like a perfect pillow for someone who was sleepy.

He looked at the token in his hand, a look of joy appearing in his eyes. Although his expression remained calm, he was extremely satisfied.

"As expected, it was the right decision to come and take the exam to become a guest alchemist. Now, not only is obtaining pills no problem, but the matter of inheriting the alchemy tradition is also settled."

"However, the alchemy inheritance must be quite valuable, and I don't have any contribution points, so I need to think carefully about how to get the alchemy inheritance as soon as possible."

"With this alchemy inheritance, my alchemy skills will surely improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time!"

Just as Su Yang was thinking, Deacon Yang finished speaking.

Afterwards, Deacon Yang told them to leave on their own.

Upon hearing this, Su Yang nodded in agreement and walked out of the hall with Zheng Yuan.

As I turned around.

He caught a glimpse of Wang An standing in front of Chen Mingyuan, whispering something to him.

Wang An's face was extremely gloomy, as if it were about to drip water.

As if noticing Su Yang's glance.

Wang An's gaze swept over, his eyes filled with undisguised coldness.

Su Yang calmly withdrew his gaze, neither meeting Zheng Yuan's eyes nor paying attention to his cold stare, and left the examination hall with Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan couldn't help but laugh as soon as he stepped outside:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, did you see that? Wang An's face was so ugly, I've never seen anything like it in all these years. It was so satisfying!"

Su Yang smiled and agreed:

"He deserved it. Because of his grudge with Fellow Daoist Zheng, he insisted on mocking us. Now he has lost face, which is his own fault."

"However, in my opinion, this person is probably not very magnanimous. I am just a rogue cultivator and will not stay at Divine Medicine Mountain for long, so I am not afraid. Fellow Daoist Zheng, you must be careful. He will definitely remember what happened today and may make things difficult for you at any time."

Wang Anshen agreed, but his expression was relaxed:

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry about me. No matter what, Wang An is just an inner disciple. In this Divine Medicine Mountain, it's fine if he tries to trip me up or do something disgusting, but he can't do anything more."

Su Yang said no more.

He didn't pay any attention to Wang An, since he would naturally leave Shenyao Mountain and return to the market after he had exchanged what he wanted.

Inside the examination hall.

Wang An and Chen Mingyuan also walked towards the door with grim expressions.

Wang An watched Su Yang and Zheng Yuan's departing figures without saying a word for a long time.

Instead, Chen Mingyuan spoke when he reached the door:

"I never expected that the rogue cultivator without any lineage would possess such abilities."

Upon hearing this, Wang An took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said in a low voice:

"It must have been Zheng Yuan who did this on purpose, sending someone to humiliate me."

"I won't let this go so easily. He's just a guest alchemist now; I have plenty of ways to deal with him!"

Chen Mingyuan paused for a moment, looked at Wang An, wanting to say something, but after opening his mouth, he swallowed his words back.

He knew that Wang An was in a very bad mood at the moment, and that if he said anything more, it would only make things worse, so he didn't bother to speak.

Zheng Yuan and Su Yang hurried towards the location of the guest rooms.

Zheng Yuan was in a great mood the whole way, with a smile on his face that he couldn't suppress.

After walking a short distance, he couldn't help but tease Wang An a couple of times.

After passing through the moon gate and corridor and arriving at the guest room, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but mention it again.

Seeing his expression, Su Yang couldn't help but speak up:

"Fellow Daoist Zheng, Wang An has lost face today, yet you are so happy. It seems that the grudge between you and him is indeed very deep."

Zheng Yuan chuckled:

"What Fellow Daoist Jiang said is both right and wrong. It should be that he harbors deep resentment towards me, while I feel more dissatisfaction towards him."

"However, he really went too far today. Even a clay figure has some temper. I'm not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness. I just embarrassed him, so I'm naturally feeling good."

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know, I've known him for over ten years, and this is the first time I've seen him lose face so badly. The look on his face just now was even worse than when my senior brother and I defeated him, and his master scolded him."

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh again.

From Zheng Yuan's words just now.

Su Yang already knew that the grudge between Zheng Yuan and Wang An actually stemmed from the grudges of the previous generation.

Zheng Yuan's master and Wang An's master had an old grudge, which was passed on to the younger generation, making them irreconcilable enemies.

In Su Yang's opinion, the petty grudges between Zheng Yuan and Wang An were nothing at all.

It can only be said that sect disciples are too well protected by their sects and do not receive enough experience, which makes them prone to getting stuck on trivial matters.

However, the matter between these two inner disciples of Shenyao Mountain had nothing to do with him, a disciple of Qingyang Sect.

Su Yang said no more and soon checked into a guest room under Zheng Yuan's arrangement.

This place is slightly inferior to the one Wang An took, but it's still not bad.

The room was fully furnished with a bed, futon, table, and chairs, and several spiritual plants were placed inside, their spiritual energy sufficient for Su Yang's cultivation.

Zheng Yuan did not leave immediately.

Instead, they went inside and sat down at the table.

Zheng Yuan finally suppressed his smile slightly, but he was still in a very good mood:

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have indeed surprised me today. I really didn't expect you to have such a high level of alchemy skills."
