Primordial Treasure Mirror

After listening to Liu Mei's words.

Su Yang finally understood why she had come to find him again.

It turned out that Liu Mei had found out that Min Yue had given each of them a Huangya Dan (a type of medicinal herb) before she left.

Besides Min Yue and Chen Yuan, there were only five other servants present that day.

Clearly, someone other than Su Yang had a loose tongue or, out of a desire to show off, leaked this news.

Presumably, Liu Mei or Wu Buyan would have approached everyone immediately after learning about this.

Su Yang was one of them.

After all, trying to trick people into getting Huangyadan from the General Affairs Department carries the risk of being persuaded by others.

It's much easier to get the pills from someone who has them.

Su Yang clicked his tongue twice in his mind.

He became disappointed in Wu Buyan.

A month ago.

Wu Buyan has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

At that time, Wu Buyan was still considered an absolute powerhouse in Su Yang's mind.

I wouldn't say I was afraid, but I still felt it was quite remarkable.

now.

Wu Buyan was still at the fifth level of Qi Refining, just like him.

Moreover, given the quality of his spiritual power, coupled with the improved spells...

Wu Buyan could never be his match.

If things really come to a head...

Wu Buyan's fate will likely be even worse than Pang Yue's and Ding Yue's.

Those two were at least at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Even though Wu Buyan broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

In terms of strength, he is probably not as good as him.

Thinking about this...

A strange feeling suddenly arose in Su Yang's heart.

That feeling is like being in another world.

In just one month.

He went from being a useless rookie servant who could only be bullied by others, a piece of trash with five spiritual roots.

By now, they no longer take Wu Buyan, who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, seriously.

The changes are enormous.

Even he himself felt it was somewhat unreal for a moment.

But then he thought of the spirit stones in his storage bag, and the magical artifacts and pills in the mirror space.

Su Yang immediately regained his sense of reality.

He has indeed changed that much.

Wu Buyan, who was once a high-ranking Qi Refining Level 5 servant, was nothing in front of him.

Seeing that Su Yang seemed a little distracted, Liu Mei frowned and called out:

"Junior brother? What are you thinking about? Have you made a decision?"

Su Yang came to his senses and suddenly felt extremely happy.

He smiled at Liu Mei and said calmly:

"Senior Sister Liu, I won't give away that Yellow Sprout Pill for nothing."

Liu Mei's expression stiffened; she hadn't expected him to refuse so directly, and her face darkened slightly.

"What do you mean, junior brother?"

Su Yang looked at her calmly, without the slightest fluctuation in his heart:

"My meaning is very clear. Senior Sister Huang Yadan is also aware of how precious it is. It costs more than ten spirit stones in the sect, and you can't buy it without connections."

"Not to mention the markets outside, prices are even higher, perhaps even double. I suppose the reason those who were willing to exchange their Qingling Pills for Senior Brother Wu's is because of this is why they chose Huangya Pills."

"I can't possibly give away pills of this value to Senior Brother Wu just because of a word he said or a vague favor."

He spoke very directly.

They didn't care at all about the possible reactions of Liu Mei and Wu Buyan.

Liu Mei stared at him for a long while, then her tone instantly turned cold:

"Junior Brother Su, Senior Brother Wu's favor is not something intangible. You are merely a Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator. Are you sure you want to offend Senior Brother Wu, who is about to enter the inner sect, for the sake of a single Yellow Sprout Pill?"

Liu Mei has shed her disguise and is now showing signs of a threat.

Su Yang didn't care at all, looking directly at Liu Mei:

"Senior Sister Liu, based solely on what you just said, I would have let you leave immediately."

"However, I still remember the matter of the Concealing God Technique. Although it was only a fragment, it was still a favor to me."

"I certainly won't give the Yellow Sprout Pill to Senior Brother Wu for free, but I only need nine spirit stones. Give me the spirit stones, and I'll give you the Yellow Sprout Pill. This price is low enough; consider it me repaying Senior Sister's favor."

Liu Mei was surprised that Su Yang was so stubborn and even brought up the matter of the Concealing God Technique.

She didn't pay much attention to that incomplete version of the Breath Concealment Technique back then.

She didn't think Su Yang would care; he probably just used this as an excuse.

Liu Mei's expression changed:

"Are you really going to do this?"

Su Yang looked completely at her, staring into her eyes:

"Of course, what's wrong with that?"

"Senior Sister Liu can pass on my words directly to Senior Brother Wu. Nine spirit stones for one Yellow Sprout Pill is a good deal."

"If Senior Brother Wu is unwilling, that's fine too. I'll keep it for myself."

He spoke with absolute certainty when he said this.

Nine spirit stones are definitely cheap enough.

Even within the sect, it's not easy to buy at this price, let alone for menial disciples, who have virtually no way to purchase one.

So he was genuinely repaying Liu Mei's favor.

As for whether Wu Buyan appreciates this favor or not, that's Wu Buyan's business; it has nothing to do with him.

Liu Mei's face looked terrible. She sat on the edge of the bed, shifting her posture several times.

Finally, he stood up.

She gave Su Yang a deep look:

"Okay, I'll take that message back."

"However, Junior Brother Su, I still advise you not to be ungrateful."

"Neither I nor Senior Brother Wu intend to harm you. Isn't being able to join Senior Brother Wu's circle better than fighting alone on your own?"

"After all, you only have five spiritual roots, and now that you've lost your status as a pill-making apprentice, you'll definitely face many difficulties in the future."

"If you help Senior Brother Wu enter the outer sect, he will remember your kindness and any help he gives you in the future will be much more valuable than a single Yellow Sprout Pill."

Su Yang remained unmoved, smiling and shaking his head:

"What my senior sister said may make sense, but I think differently."

Liu Mei didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

As she reached the door, she glanced back at Su Yang before leaving.

Su Yang got up, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the futon again.

He recalled the look Liu Mei gave him as she left.

That glance held both disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Su Yang felt the immense spiritual power within his body and calmly shook his head.

"I've said everything I needed to say. If she were smart, she should have persuaded Wu Buyan to agree."

"Trading nine spirit stones for one Yellow Sprout Pill is definitely a good deal."

"If Wu Buyan is so tactless as to cause me trouble over this..."

Su Yang circulated his spiritual power, and two balls of flame instantly appeared in front of him.

"Then don't blame me for being impolite."

Su Yang now has the confidence to back it up.

He wants to cultivate in a low-key manner, but that doesn't mean he has to compromise himself.

He'd already killed Pang Yue and Ding Yue, so one more Wu Buyan wouldn't make a difference.

of course.

The best outcome would be for Wu Buyan to be sensible and know his place.

Then he doesn't need to take any action, so there's no risk of exposure. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

Su Yang didn't take it too seriously.

He closed his eyes again to regulate his breathing, took out the top-grade Green Wood Pill, and began his cultivation.

......

On the other side...

After leaving Su Yang's residence, Liu Mei continued walking and soon arrived at Wu Buyan's residence.

Wu Buyan was talking to two servants.

Liu Mei waited for a while until they finished talking, then went up to them.

She bowed respectfully to Wu Buyan:

"Senior Brother Wu, Su Yang has refused."
