Primordial Treasure Mirror

After consolidating his cultivation.

Su Yang resumed his usual rhythm.

Several days later.

Inside the cave.

Flames roared in the alchemy furnace.

The elixir floated and sank on the flames.

Su Yang looked serious, his hands forming a hand seal, and the flames in the furnace gradually weakened as he manipulated them.

The liquid on the flames slowly condensed and began to fuse into a pill.

Once the elixir is successfully fused...

Su Yang used magic to divide and collect the elixir.

After the alchemy furnace was opened.

Several pills fell into his hands.

Two of them were golden and had a red pattern on them, clearly indicating that they were finished pills.

The rest were all a mixture of gold and gray, and were considered waste pills.

Su Yang ignored the few defective pills and instead looked at the golden, successfully formed pill, a smile appearing on his face:

"I've finally refined two of the top-tier first-order pills, the Golden Feather Pill."

Su Yang was overjoyed, not only because he had refined two top-tier first-order pills, but also because his pill-refining skills had made another breakthrough.

"At this rate, I will definitely become a top-tier first-level alchemist before I reach the Foundation Establishment stage. In that case, after accumulating some more time after Foundation Establishment, it will not be difficult to break through to the second-level alchemist stage."

"By then, I will no longer be dependent on others for elixirs and will be able to be self-sufficient."

Thinking about this...

Su Yang felt extremely happy.

With his improved comprehension, Su Yang's alchemy skills progressed faster and faster.

In less than a year, they have already been able to refine top-tier first-order pills.

Recalling the slow progress of his alchemy skills in the past, he felt that this was the real cultivation now, and what kind of days were those before!

"I never imagined that one day I could become a genius."

Su Yang was deeply moved.

Although his aptitude was still extremely poor, he was undoubtedly a genius in terms of comprehension.

In the cultivation world, poor aptitude can be compensated for with resources, but comprehension can basically only be achieved through one's own efforts.

Even if there are treasures that can enhance one's comprehension, they are not something that ordinary cultivators can access, and their value must be considerable.

If Su Yang hadn't possessed the Primordial Treasure Mirror and hadn't obtained the Chunhua Pill by chance, he wouldn't be where he is today.

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Senior Brother Ma. Without him, I wouldn't have such feelings. I will definitely thank him when he returns from outside the sect."

During this time, besides cultivating and refining pills, Su Yang would also pay attention to news about some old acquaintances, intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, Ma Liu once went to the abandoned alchemy hall of Tianqing Peak to inquire about several outer disciples he knew.

I learned that Ma Liu is still on a mission abroad and has not returned.

Besides news about Ma Liu.

Su Yang also found out about Min Yue.

Min Yue was quite famous in the outer sect, after all, she was the daughter of an outer sect elder. Countless outer sect disciples thought about rising to the top by relying on her, but none of them dared to take action.

After all, if they angered Elder Min, their lives would be in danger.

Min Yue once participated in Elder Lianhuo's disciple-acceptance assessment but failed to become Elder Lianhuo's disciple. However, she was noticed by another second-level alchemist, Elder Zhou, and became his disciple.

He has now broken through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage and is beginning preparations for Foundation Establishment.

Su Yang estimated that Min Yue, like Li Yunxiu, would participate in the sect's battle, since for cultivators who have reached the Qi Refining stage, the most important thing for establishing their foundation is the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Those who missed the Foundation Establishment Pills distributed through the sect's special exception can only obtain them through sect battles.

Whenever Su Yang thought of Min Yue, he would also think of Yu Shuang.

Since returning to the clan.

Su Yang never forgot to inquire about Yu Shuang's whereabouts.

After all, if it weren't for Yu Shuang, he wouldn't have been targeted by Lin Huan and taken into the extremely dangerous Luofu Secret Realm, and he wouldn't have suffered so much hardship along the way.

Although the final outcome was good—he inadvertently entered the Luofu Tower and had the possibility of obtaining the Luofu inheritance—this would not affect Su Yang's killing intent towards Yu Shuang.

Yu Shuang attacked him several times.

Previously, Su Yang was not strong enough and could only suppress his killing intent and endure it for the time being.

Now that Su Yang is strong enough, he naturally wants to find an opportunity to take revenge.

However, Yu Shuang is an inner disciple, whose circle is completely different from that of outer disciples, and even most inner disciples are not familiar with each other.

Su Yang has been back for so long, but he hasn't been able to find out any news about Yu Shuang.

He could only suppress his desire for revenge and wait for the right opportunity.

Compared to Zhou Dazhu, news about Ma Liu, Yu Shuang, and Min Yue was nothing.

The news about Zhou Dazhu was the most unexpected for Su Yang.

Zhou Dazhu was one of the few people in the sect who could be considered Su Yang's friend.

Su Yang had naturally inquired about Zhou Dazhu's whereabouts.

Zhou Dazhu was initially noticed by an inner disciple of Silver Spirit Peak and brought to Silver Spirit Peak to become a pill-making apprentice.

For a disciple doing menial tasks, being a pill-teacher is naturally an excellent job.

But Dan Tong was, after all, just a Dan Tong, and his status was not high at all.

Therefore, when Su Yang first inquired, he thought it would take a lot of effort to find out about Zhou Dazhu.

However, he didn't ask any of the disciples of Silver Spirit Peak, but only asked He Baiyang, and that's how he found out about Zhou Dazhu.

This is naturally because Zhou Dazhu's status at this time is completely different from what it used to be.

Speaking of Zhou Dazhu's situation...

Even now, Su Yang still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

Like Su Yang, Zhou Dazhu had extremely poor aptitude, which is why he became a menial disciple.

But after Zhou Dazhu was taken to Silver Spirit Peak, his life quickly changed.

It was originally quite common for menial disciples to be chosen as alchemists.

However, when Zhou Dazhu truly came into contact with alchemy at Silver Spirit Peak, he displayed astonishing talent in alchemy.

Being a pill apprentice at Yinling Peak is completely different from being a pill apprentice under Min Yue.

Under Min Yue, although he was called a Dan Tong (a type of alchemist), he was actually still doing menial tasks.

Being a pill apprentice at Silver Spirit Peak means you really get to know the art of alchemy. There are many things pill apprentices need to do for the alchemists.

Among the aspiring alchemists, there are naturally some with good alchemy talent. After they show their talent, they are often trained by alchemists and may have the opportunity to become alchemists in the future.

Although there aren't many cultivators in the Qingyang Sect who have gone from alchemy apprentices to alchemists, there are indeed some.

But Zhou Dazhu is different.

Zhou Dazhu's talent was truly astonishing. His learning progress was several times faster than others, and his genius even alarmed an elder of Silver Spirit Peak.

That was an inner sect elder, not only holding a prestigious position, but also a second-tier alchemist.

He noticed something unusual about Zhou Dazhu and, after some examination, discovered that Zhou Dazhu had awakened a rather rare spiritual body, the Jade Radiance Pill Body.

Although this spirit body is only the lowest-ranking Yellow-rank spirit body, it is naturally suited for alchemy and its rarity is in no way inferior to that of a Profound-rank spirit body.

The Jade Radiance Elixir Body possesses an extremely special talent; for them, alchemy is cultivation.

The higher the quality of the pills they refine, the faster they can cultivate.

For the Jade Radiance Elixir Body.

As long as their alchemy skills improve, their cultivation will continue to improve.
