Primordial Treasure Mirror

Min Yue's words were spoken.

The courtyard fell silent instantly.

Aside from Chen Yuan not feeling anything was wrong.

The smiles on Zhou Dazhu and the other Dantong's faces froze.

One of the disciples even opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But he quickly realized the difference in their identities and swallowed his words.

Then, the disciples all showed disappointment on their faces and lowered their heads.

Su Yang blended in perfectly with them, his expression exactly the same as theirs.

He was well aware of what these menial servants and attendants were thinking.

Being a Dan Tong at Tianqing Peak is certainly not an easy job, but it's still more promising than cutting down trees and farming at Cuiling Peak.

Not to mention the even richer spiritual energy on Tianqing Peak.

The rewards that Min Yue gave her when she refined pills far exceeded what she could earn as a servant on Cui Ling Peak.

Not to mention the Yellow Sprout Pill, which was worth nearly ten spirit stones this time.

The Qi Condensation Pill and spirit stones that were bestowed last time are comparable to the monthly allowance that a servant can earn after a month of hard work.

If he continues to serve as a disciple under Min Yue like this...

When Min Yue's alchemy skills improve further in the future, and she even becomes a second-tier alchemist.

How could their lives be any worse?

When Su Yang spoke with them privately, he even heard one of the alchemists say that if he followed Fairy Min, he might have a chance to establish his foundation in the future.

Even if the chance is slim, it's still a chance.

Now that road is blocked.

They'll have to go back to the old ways.

That would mean there's absolutely no chance.

Su Yang was not as disappointed as they were.

He even felt a slight surge of joy.

He had wanted to return to Cuiling Peak for a long time.

As one of the inner sect peaks, Tianqing Peak is much riskier for Su Yang than places like Cuiling Peak.

This place not only has many inner disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining, but also those who have reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage. Occasionally, you can even encounter Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Su Yang was always afraid that one day someone would discover something was wrong with him.

Min Yue noticed the expressions on everyone's faces, but said nothing, only waving her hand:

"Alright, let's all go our separate ways. If fate allows, perhaps we'll meet again someday."

Having said that, she didn't linger and rose into the air on the wind.

Chen Yuan looked at everyone, said nothing, and also rode the wind away.

The two figures quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Only Su Yang and five other alchemists remained in the courtyard.

They stood there quietly for a long while.

One of them sighed, holding the yellow bud pill in his hand, and said:

"Forget it, getting a single Yellow Sprout Pill is already a pleasant surprise. What more could we ask for?"

Zhou Dazhu nodded upon hearing this:

"That's true. We've already gained quite a bit in the past month or so, we should be content."

"Junior Brother Su, let's go back and pack our things together."

Su Yang did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

The others knew the situation was beyond repair and had no choice but to accept it.

Su Yang and Zhou Dazhu walked back along the mountain path.

On the way, Zhou Dazhu couldn't help but sigh.

He went on and on about it:

"At least on Tianqing Peak, I don't have to cut down trees. The work I do every day, although tedious, is not tiring. It's much easier than on Cuiling Peak."

"I don't know if I'll be able to get used to it if I don't have such good days anymore."

"Speaking of which, Fairy Min is indeed kind. She gave each of us a Yellow Sprout Pill. With this pill, I should be able to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and things will be much easier in the future."

Listen to what he says.

Su Yang simply smiled and agreed, without saying anything more.

His thoughts were definitely different from Zhou Dazhu's, but he wouldn't say it out loud.

After returning to my residence.

Su Yang closed the door, glanced around the empty room, and sat cross-legged on the futon.

There's not much to clean up.

Everything was in his storage bag.

"I'll have to take some things out of my storage bag later and bring them back, otherwise it'll attract too much attention."

Su Yang was planning what to do next:

"The matter on Tianqing Peak is now completely over, and Min Yue should not be coming to us again."

"Next, I should focus on cultivation, break through to the late stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible, and prepare for Foundation Establishment."

"Also, I'd like to find an opportunity to get a pill-refining furnace, something small and of lower quality is fine. I'll keep it in my storage bag and try refining pills indoors whenever I want."

"The art of alchemy must be mastered; the sooner the better."

Su Yang already had a plan in mind for what to do next.

The most important thing, of course, is spiritual practice.

He took stock of his progress in cultivation.

Since breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he has been taking five top-grade Green Wood Pills every day, and the spiritual power in his dantian has increased significantly.

At the current pace of cultivation.

It will probably take another month or so to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining perfection.

If all goes well, reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining should be quite easy.

After all, his spiritual energy is becoming increasingly refined, and he is probably even more powerful than a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

After cultivating to the sixth level of Qi Refining, continue to cultivate by consuming pills until you reach the sixth level of Qi Refining. Then you can use the Yuanhe Pill to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

"If all goes well, we should be able to break through in less than six months."

Su Yang estimated a rough time.

The thought that I could break through to the late stage of Qi Refining in at most six months made me very happy.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Don't underestimate the late stage of Qi Refining in the cultivation world.

Even within the Qingyang Sect, he was only at the bottom.

It is already considered a very good level of cultivation to be placed among the miscellaneous disciples and outer disciples.

Especially among the menial disciples.

There were no menial disciples at the late stage of Qi Refining.

In the Qingyang Sect, most disciples at the sixth level of Qi Refining can become outer disciples.

The later stages of Qi Refining are a foregone conclusion.

Su Yang certainly couldn't reveal his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation level after breaking through.

However, revealing one's mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level is not a problem.

At that time, he was still considered one of the stronger disciples among the menial servants.

Moreover, with the cultivation level of the mid-stage Qi Refining stage, it becomes much easier to obtain better discarded pills.

Su Yang enjoyed the feeling of becoming stronger in a low-key manner.

Unobtrusive, yet becoming a powerful figure step by step.

When you have enough strength, there will be no need to hide it.

I stayed in the room for a while.

Until Zhou Dazhu came and knocked on the door.

Su Yang took the specially packed bundle, opened the door, and went out.

The two joined the remaining three Dan Tong and then headed to Emerald Spirit Peak together.

Compared to a few days ago.

Cui Ling Peak has undergone considerable changes.

After all, this was the first place where the traitor of the Demonic Sect was discovered.

Another sect leader was injured here.

The sect sent people to conduct a strict screening of this place, which made all the servants on Emerald Spirit Peak tremble with fear.

Fortunately, the storm has now passed.

The sect sent a new steward.

The new manager of the spirit fields is surnamed Wang and named Wang Heng, while the new manager of the spirit trees is surnamed Zhao and named Zhao Tianfeng.

After Su Yang and the others returned, they naturally had to explain the situation to them first.

Upon learning that they were serving as alchemists for the inner sect immortals, the two stewards didn't ask any further questions and simply reassigned them tasks.

Su Yang had no grudges against the two men, and the task he was assigned this time was extremely easy; he was assigned to the spirit field.

The next few days.

During the day he familiarized himself with the work of the spirit field, and at night he took pills and cultivated himself, enjoying a period of peace and quiet.

However, on the third night...

Not long after he returned from Lingtian, someone knocked on his door.

Upon opening the door, Su Yang was stunned for a moment:

"Senior Sister Liu Mei?"
