Primordial Treasure Mirror

Upon hearing Liu Mei's words, Wu Buyan raised an eyebrow:

"What happened?"

Liu Mei recounted the whole story from beginning to end, without embellishing anything.

After listening, Wu Buyan frowned and spoke in a heavy tone:

"He'll sell me nine spirit stones? He really said that?"

Liu Mei nodded:

"Not only that, he also said that this was out of respect for me, and that he was repaying a favor I had done for him."

"I think he probably didn't dare to refuse directly, so he used this excuse."

Wu Buyan remained silent.

His expression was unpredictable.

My index finger and thumb started rubbing together unconsciously.

Liu Mei has been with him for so long.

Just by looking at his actions, you could tell he was very unhappy.

Wu Buyan finally let out a long sigh of relief:

"How ungrateful!"

His tone was rather calm, but anyone could hear the coldness in his words.

Liu Mei was equally unhappy.

She found Su Yang a month ago.

Su Yang had just started practicing and hadn't even reached the first level of Qi Refining.

Later, he was just a useless servant at the first level of Qi Refining.

She didn't take Su Yang seriously at all at the time.

They just felt that hiring another new handyman would mean one more Huangyadan pill.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the middle.

Su Yang got incredibly lucky and was chosen by an inner sect fairy.

Just one month later, he actually broke through to the second level of Qi Refining.

When she came to him again, Su Yang actually asked her to exchange nine spirit stones for one Yellow Sprout Pill.

Nine spirit stones don't sound expensive.

But if you can get it without spending spirit stones, why spend nine spirit stones?

Moreover, it is extremely difficult for a menial disciple to accumulate nine spirit stones.

Liu Mei hadn't managed to save up nine spirit stones in a year.

Wu Buyan definitely has the spirit stones, but Liu Mei estimates that he is unwilling to pay them.

Liu Mei looked at Wu Buyan and couldn't help but say:

"Senior brother, that brat Su Yang doesn't know what's good for him. Once you break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining and enter the outer sect, he'll regret it."

Wu Buyan didn't respond to her question, but instead turned to the handyman disciple beside him and asked:

"How's it going with Junior Brother Li? Will he be able to get the Yellow Sprout Pill he promised to lend?"

The man nodded:

"We can get it; it will be delivered tomorrow morning."

Wu Buyan's expression softened somewhat:

"That's good. With Junior Brother Zhang's piece, we'll have a perfect set."

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Mei, a hint of disappointment in his eyes:

"In that case, let's leave Su Yang alone for now, to avoid causing any more trouble."

"I'll go get the Azure Spirit Pill first and break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. There's less than a month left until the Outer Sect Competition. Once I become an Outer Sect disciple, he'll know what kind of opportunity he missed."

Liu Mei nodded.

However, her dissatisfaction with Su Yang had not dissipated.

There was also a hint of jealousy mixed in with it, which she herself was unaware of.

Wu Buyan ignored her thoughts and waved to the others:

"Alright, everyone disperse. I'll go exchange the pills tomorrow. Just wait for my good news."

Several people nodded in agreement.

......

Su Yang was unaware of what had happened on Wu Buyan's side.

But even if I knew, I wouldn't take it to heart.

Even if Wu Buyan breaks through, he will only reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.

I want him to regret it.

It's still a long way off.

The next few days.

Su Yang didn't go anywhere.

During the day, they work in the sacred fields.

He would stay in his room at night to practice meditation.

His cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refining is progressing steadily.

The physical body also continuously grows stronger under the effect of the Spirit Nourishing Technique.

He picked out and learned a few more spells from Pang Yue and the outer disciple's storage bags, further strengthening his foundation.

These past few days have been routine yet monotonous.

The other servant disciples might not like it.

But Su Yang quite enjoys this state.

For him, his cultivation level and strength were constantly improving, and life was simply wonderful.

That evening.

After finishing his work in the spiritual field, he returned to his house and prepared to take the elixir and cultivate.

It was discovered that only two Qingmu Dan (a type of medicinal pill) remained in the Yuan Chu Bao Jing (a type of ancient Chinese mirror).

Su Yang had already bought Qingmu Dan waste pills from Ma Liu several times.

Last time, they even exchanged more than ten at once.

He just took the pills too quickly.

Five top-grade Green Wood Pills a day, plus more than ten wasted Green Wood Pills, can only sustain one for about ten days.

Now I have to buy more pills.

He glanced at the sky outside and confirmed that Ma Liu was still in the abandoned alchemy courtyard.

Su Yang no longer hesitated:

"Hurry up and buy another batch of Qingmu Dan waste pills, this time buy a little more."

He got up and went out.

After leaving Emerald Spirit Peak, he immediately used the Feather Transformation Lightness Technique.

The journey that would normally take about an hour was completed in less than half an hour thanks to the Feathered Lightness Technique.

We arrived at Tianqing Peak.

Su Yang didn't go anywhere else, but went straight to the Abandoned Pill Academy.

Upon entering, Ma Liu was indeed still beside the original cinnabar pit.

As soon as Su Yang entered the Waste Pill Academy, Ma Liu noticed him.

I've traded so many times.

Ma Liu and Su Yang were already quite familiar with each other, so he immediately stood up to greet him with a broad smile.

"Junior Brother Su, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

Su Yang was both amused and exasperated by his enthusiasm.

"Brother Ma, it can't be that bad, we've only not seen each other for about half a month."

Ma Liu shook his head: "Half a month is not a short time."

Then he lowered his voice and leaned closer:

"The sect was quite unsettled a few days ago. Many people from the inner and outer sects were arrested. I was worried that you might be implicated, junior brother."

Su Yang smiled:

"I'm just a lowly servant alchemist, not a spy for the demonic sect, so who would care about me?"

Ma Liu thought for a moment:

"That's true. I heard that no spies from the Demonic Sect were found on Tianqing Peak."

"By the way, Junior Brother, did you run out of Green Wood Pills again?"

Su Yang nodded.

Ma Liu looked at him meaningfully:

"Junior brother, you're consuming pills way too fast. Take my advice, and try to use fewer waste pills."

Su Yang listened to his words of advice and smiled wryly:

"If I hadn't been constantly consuming waste pills, would I have been able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining in such a short time? There are gains and losses in everything, so there's no need for you to persuade me any further, Senior Brother."

Ma Liu clicked his tongue: "Alright, how many do you want this time?"

Su Yang took out thirty spirit stones:

"I need thirty this time. I wonder if you have enough, senior brother?"

Upon seeing the thirty spirit stones, Ma Liu's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in shock:

"Junior brother, where did you get so many spirit stones?"

Su Yang gave him a mysterious smile:

"Of course I don't have that many spirit stones by myself, but my fellow disciples who do odd jobs have also had their own ideas after seeing my cultivation advance by leaps and bounds."

"Most of these spirit stones belong to them; they want to buy some discarded pills to try them out."

"If you are satisfied, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you often in the future."

This was the reason he had thought of before he came.

Ma Liu had no doubts:

"I see. Junior brother, you must be able to earn some money from it too, right?"

Su Yang smiled but didn't say anything.

Ma Liu didn't ask any more questions:

"Thirty is a bit too many; I don't have any on me right now."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and put together some for you."
