Primordial Treasure Mirror

The person who came to find Su Yang was none other than Liu Mei.

She was no different from Su Yang's impression of her a month ago.

She still possessed rather charming features, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling. Even dressed in the clothes of a menial disciple, her beauty could not be concealed.

Liu Mei stood at the door. It was already dark outside, but Su Yang could still see her smiling face clearly.

She tilted her head to look at Su Yang, her peach blossom eyes blinking, and spoke in a tone almost identical to that of a month ago:

"Junior Brother Su, it's been a long time. Your senior sister has come to see you again."

Su Yang was taken aback for a moment, looked her up and down, and was quite surprised.

to be frank.

After more than a month.

He had almost forgotten about this person.

A little over a month ago, when she had just started learning.

Liu Mei went to see him twice.

We need to find him for support and get him to give Huang Yadan to Wu Buyan.

At that time, Su Yang refused Wu Buyan and took Huangya Dan himself.

I was still thinking about how to deal with Wu Buyan and Liu Mei.

Later, he was taken away by Min Yue and became a pill apprentice.

That was the end of it.

Su Yang thought that after a month, Wu Buyan would not come looking for him again.

I didn't expect it would only be a few days since I came back.

Liu Mei then came to the door again.

Su Yang didn't know what Liu Mei was planning, but with his current strength, he had nothing to fear.

He turned to the side:

"Senior Sister Liu, come in and talk."

Liu Mei also stepped into the house without any hesitation, her eyes habitually sweeping around.

Upon seeing the bare house, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"Junior brother, you've been a disciple of the fairy for so long, but you're coming back to live in a place like this. You must be very uncomfortable."

Liu Mei said with a smile.

Su Yang's expression remained unchanged:

"I'm just a novice handyman. I was just lucky to be chosen by the fairy to be her alchemy apprentice. There's no question of whether I'm suited to it or not."

As he spoke, he sat down on the prayer mat:

"Please make yourself at home, Senior Sister. My room is really rather simple."

Liu Mei didn't mind at all, and plopped down on the edge of the bed, crossing her legs, looking quite relaxed.

She said with a smile:

"Junior brother has a very good attitude. I wonder how you feel after serving as a pill apprentice for over a month? That fairy maiden hasn't been harsh on you, has she?"

Seeing that she wasn't talking about serious matters but instead engaging in idle chatter, Su Yang knew what was going on.

Liu Mei certainly wasn't there simply to reminisce and show concern for him, but he wasn't in a hurry, and replied in a way that went along with Liu Mei's words:

"It's quite good. The fairy is not demanding at all. On the contrary, she is very generous. The work is not heavy, and I can learn some things. I have learned about a lot of spiritual materials and also understand some of the tricks of alchemy."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei's expression shifted slightly, and an expression of envy appeared on her face:

"That's really good. Junior Brother has made considerable progress. It's a pity Senior Sister didn't have that opportunity. The spiritual energy on Qing Peak is much denser than on Cui Ling Peak. I imagine your cultivation has also made significant progress, right?"

Su Yang's heart stirred:

"That's right. The fairy maiden gave him a lot of rewards, and with the spiritual energy of Tianqing Peak, my junior brother successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refining."

He planned to take this opportunity to reveal a little bit of his cultivation level.

In just over a month, he broke through from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level.

Although it was a bit fast for ordinary servants with five spiritual roots, it didn't seem out of place with the excuse of being rewarded by the fairy.

Liu Mei was visibly taken aback when she heard his words. She had just said it casually and didn't actually think that Su Yang's cultivation would make any progress.

After all, Su Yang only had five spiritual roots.

She knew how slow the cultivation of the five spiritual roots was.

Let alone a month.

The fastest five-elemental root servant Liu Mei had ever seen to cultivate from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level of Qi Refining took three months.

Su Yang's breakthrough in just over a month was completely beyond her expectations.

But there's no need to lie to her about something like this.

Liu Mei's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly said:

"Qi Refinement Level 2? Junior Brother's breakthrough was so fast?"

Su Yang scratched the back of his head, pretending to be quite surprised himself:

"It's a bit fast, I didn't expect it either. This is all thanks to the inner sect fairy. If it weren't for the fairy's gift of pills, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining so quickly."

Liu Mei's lips twitched, and a fleeting emotion flashed quickly in her peach blossom eyes.

Su Yang caught the emotion in his mind; it was jealousy.

Su Yang's intuition was correct.

Liu Mei was indeed jealous, and it was a jealousy that she couldn't suppress.

After all, she has been a student for over a year and is still only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Su Yang, a useless person with five spiritual roots, broke through in less than two months after entering the sect. No wonder she was happy about it.

As a cultivator with four spiritual roots, Liu Mei felt a special sense of superiority when facing someone like Su Yang, who had five spiritual roots.

Now that this sense of superiority has been destroyed, Liu Mei felt extremely sad.

Fortunately, she has a strong ability to adjust, and the smile on her face became even more genuine:

"Congratulations, junior brother, on meeting such a wonderful fairy."

Su Yang waved his hands repeatedly, not wanting to chat with Liu Mei any longer:

"It's all luck. By the way, Senior Sister, you must have something else to discuss with me today, right?"

When Liu Mei saw that he had brought it up himself, her expression became more serious:

"Junior brother is still so direct, then senior sister will also speak frankly."

She sighed:

"Speaking of which, it all comes down to Huang Yadan."

"Junior brother should remember, right? Senior Brother Wu wanted to borrow some Yellow Sprout Pills from everyone to exchange for Azure Spirit Pills to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. He's still short two."

"My junior brother said he needed to think about it. I wonder what his decision is like now?"

Su Yang was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Huangyadan? Two more are needed?

He remembered that Wu Buyan had said he would collect about ten Huangya Dan to exchange for Qingling Dan.

And they collected several that very night.

A month has passed now, why haven't we collected them all yet?

Su Yang was genuinely surprised, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Senior Brother Wu hasn't broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining yet?"

Liu Mei sighed helplessly:

"Don't even mention it. Everything was going quite smoothly at first, and many of my junior brothers agreed. But after a trip to the General Affairs Office, several of them changed their minds."

"Senior Brother Wu had no choice but to ask us to persuade them. They're still short two."

Su Yang's heart stirred.

General Affairs Bureau?

He probably knows what's going on.

Presumably, the steward from the General Affairs Office persuaded him in the same way he had last time, and also persuaded the other servants.

Some of the servants listened to this and then changed their minds.

So, that deacon was really good; he saved quite a few people.

Seeing Su Yang deep in thought, Liu Mei assumed he was weighing his options and said somewhat anxiously:

"Junior brother, it's their loss that they don't trust Senior Brother Wu."

"Senior Brother Wu will never mistreat those who have been kind to him; Senior Sister can guarantee that."

"Besides, you should have a Huangya Dan on hand right now, right?"

"I heard from others that the disciples who followed that fairy to become alchemy apprentices were all rewarded with a Yellow Sprout Pill."

"In this way, Junior Brother will essentially have two Yellow Sprout Pills. Even if he lends one to Senior Brother Wu, it shouldn't be a problem. In return, he can also gain a favor from Senior Brother Wu. Why not?"
