Primordial Treasure Mirror

Facing Yu Shuang's whip.

Su Yang felt an urge to retaliate.

He even had images of a counterattack in his mind.

Thick earth wall, blazing fire, feathering lightness technique, vine technique, and several other spells are cast in alternation.

This caught Yu Shuang completely off guard.

Even if I can't kill Yu Shuang, I'll make her suffer!

But he ultimately managed to suppress the impulse.

Do not move.

On the surface, he was just a menial servant at the first level of Qi Refining.

It still has five spiritual roots.

It only took a little over a month to get started.

How could someone possess the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining and master so many spells?

There is clearly a problem.

What awaits him then is something far worse than enduring this lash.

Su Yang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with murderous intent towards Min Yue.

Only one thought was in my mind:

"Sooner or later, I will kill you!"

The whip's wind had already reached Su Yang's face.

He also felt the scorching heat wave.

The whip was about to strike him.

At the critical moment.

A beam of azure light shot out from the side.

It struck the crimson whip with pinpoint accuracy.

The two collided with a muffled thud.

Yu Shuang's whip was deflected by the spiritual light.

With a loud crack, it struck the bluestone ground at Su Yang's feet.

The ground suddenly cracked open, revealing a charred black surface.

Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his heart pounding like a drum.

He could feel that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Yu Shuang turned and glared angrily at the person who had made the move:

"Min Yue, you're even going to stop me from doing menial tasks?"

Min Yue withdrew her hand from the spellcasting position, her expression remaining calm, but her tone leaving no room for argument:

"He is my Dan Tong. You are not qualified to hit him."

"If you want to cause trouble, find somewhere else. You won't be allowed to cause trouble here!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuang stared at Min Yue, then glanced at Su Yang, who was still looking down.

His eyes were filled with barely suppressed rage.

She took a deep breath and sneered repeatedly.

"Fine, fine, Min Yue, you've got guts."

"I'm not going to argue with you today, but I want to see if you can keep protecting her. We'll see!"

Yu Shuang originally came today to provoke Min Yue and wanted to have another fight with her.

Now they can only slink away in disgrace.

The frustration he felt was unimaginable.

She abruptly put away her whip, turned around, and soared into the air, flying away.

midair.

She glanced back at Su Yang.

His eyes were icy cold, as if he were looking at a dead person.

Su Yang kept his head down and didn't notice her gaze.

But he knew that someone like Yu Shuang wouldn't let it go so easily.

He suppressed the boiling anger within him and tried his best to appear afraid.

The courtyard was quiet for a moment.

The servants and young disciples didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Chen Yuan also fell silent.

After a while.

Min Yue turned to look at Su Yang, her brows furrowing slightly:

"Be careful from now on. Yu Shuang is vindictive and will definitely hold a grudge about what happened today."

"Since she can't do anything to me, she can only take it out on you. If you fall into her hands, your life may be in danger."

Su Yang looked apprehensive and grateful, and bowed to Min Yue with his hands clasped in greeting.

"Thank you so much, Fairy Maiden, for saving my life. I will remember your instructions."

Min Yue didn't say anything more and returned to the alchemy furnace.

Su Yang stood still, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.

Although Yu Shuang's whip didn't actually land on him today.

But he had already firmly memorized that lash in his heart.

The helplessness, resentment, and anger I felt when facing the whip are still vividly etched in my memory.

Yu Shuang, you crazy woman!

I keep a record of all these accounts, one by one!

You wait.

When I am strong enough, I will make you pay back a thousand times over for the humiliation you suffered before and today.

Su Yang took a deep breath, lowered his gaze, and gradually calmed down.

After being disturbed by Yu Shuang, Min Yue clearly lost her desire to refine pills immediately.

She went inside, found a futon to sit on, rested her hands on her knees, and seemed to be deep in thought.

There was a long silence.

She looked up at Chen Yuan, who was waiting respectfully to the side, and said:

"Junior Brother Chen, do you think I can successfully refine the Golden Marrow Pill before the Elder of Fire Refining's disciple assessment?"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"Senior sister, this is beyond my prediction."

"When I first became a first-tier alchemist, the two first-tier pills I mastered were the Qi Condensation Pill and the Spirit Purification Pill."

"Both the Qingling Pill and the Ningyuan Pill are mild medicinal pills, but even with my aptitude, it took me several months to barely master them."

"And that was with someone giving you guidance."

"Although I am a first-level alchemist, I do not know much about Golden Marrow Pills and cannot help you, senior sister."

"My senior sister's talent far surpasses mine. I think if I could get Deacon Sun to give me two more days of guidance, it might be enough time."

Upon hearing this, Min Yue first nodded, then sighed:

"I would love to ask Steward Sun for some guidance again, but he has important matters to attend to at the sect and is not currently in the sect."

"But my father only knows this one top-tier first-level alchemist. What can we do?"

Chen Yuan didn't say anything more.

It would be good enough if he could offer even one suggestion.

As for helping Min Yue find a suitable alchemist to guide her, he simply didn't have that ability.

Min Yue was clearly aware of this as well. She took a deep breath and tried to cheer herself up:

"After I return today, I will go to find my father and see if I can find another alchemist who is proficient in Golden Marrow Pills to guide me."

"If all else fails, we'll just have to leave it to fate."

Chen Yuan nodded:

"If we can find her, that would be best. But if not, my senior sister might still be able to succeed."

"After all, there are still nearly ten days left, and who knows which batch will be finished."

Min Yue smiled, got up and walked into the courtyard:

"Junior brother is right, I can't give up. Come on, let's continue refining pills!"

The rest of the afternoon.

Min Yue refined three more furnaces.

She was refining these three batches of Golden Marrow Pills with a burning desire in her heart.

They practiced with utmost seriousness, taking each step with utmost care.

In the end, she failed to produce a single batch.

Su Yang did manage to collect a few more qualified but defective pills.

The third batch is finished.

Min Yue threw away the discarded pill in her hand, her face cold.

She glanced at the alchemy furnace and exhaled:

That's all for today, come again tomorrow.

Having said that, he said no more, rose with the wind, and disappeared.

The courtyard was very quiet.

Chen Yuan sighed and told everyone to get to work.

Su Yang went to deal with the discarded pills. After picking out a few qualified discarded pills, he went to the discarded pill courtyard and met Ma Liu.

Ma Liu took the discarded Golden Marrow Pill from his hand and took out a spirit stone from his storage bag, handing it to him.

The two chatted for a few more minutes.

Su Yang then took his leave.

Back in the alchemy room, after finishing my work.

It was already getting dark.

Su Yang left the alchemy room and headed towards his residence.

It was very quiet on Tianqing Peak as night approached.

Su Yang walked at a leisurely pace, his mind still preoccupied with Yu Shuang's matter from earlier that day.

That crazy woman will never let this go.

He must be extra careful until he is strong enough to contend with Yu Shuang.

lest......

Before the thought had even formed...

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

Something's off up ahead; someone's lying in ambush!
