Primordial Treasure Mirror

A hint of doubt arose in Su Yang's mind.

Who exactly is this person?

It's amazing that it could instill fear in a shopkeeper from a family that has achieved Foundation Establishment.

The manager of Wang Family Merchant Pavilion is no ordinary person; he is at least a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

The person who could inspire his fear was no ordinary individual.

Su Yang was puzzled, but he remained calm on the surface and walked towards the door without stopping.

As the person walked past him.

Su Yang keenly sensed an aura.

The other party concealed this aura very well.

However, after Su Yang practiced the improved version of the Concealing God Technique and the Herbs and Trees Concealing Technique, his ability to perceive auras far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.

Moreover, he was quite familiar with this aura.

It has a sense of harmony and balance.

The steward Sun whom Min Yue invited had it, and Jiang Yanchen also had it.

This is the unique aura of a cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation.

"It's actually at the peak of Qi cultivation."

Su Yang was startled, then even more puzzled.

Even if one has reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, the manager of the Wang Family Merchant Pavilion should not have this kind of attitude.

It must be a problem with this person's identity.

Su Yang walked out of the shop without a second glance from the cloaked man and followed the shopkeeper toward the second floor.

After walking out of the shop, Su Yang casually glanced back.

They discovered that the shopkeeper was leading the cloaked man up to the second floor.

He became even more certain of his guess: this person's identity was extraordinary, and he had a close relationship with the Wang family.

Su Yang only glanced at it and didn't linger.

"A cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of Qi Refining, concealing his identity and aura, has come to the Wang Family Trading House specifically... The Wang Family certainly has many secrets."

Su Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"But what does it have to do with me? No matter how complicated the Wang family's affairs are, I'll just stay out of it and focus on my cultivation. There's no need to create trouble for myself."

Su Yang shook his head, putting the matter out of his mind.

Why the Wang family would collude with the steward to steal sect resources, and what this Qi Refining Perfection cultivator wanted from the Wang family, were all irrelevant to him.

He only wanted to focus on cultivation and break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and even Golden Core and Nascent Soul as soon as possible.

After leaving the Wang Family Merchant Pavilion.

Su Yang realized it was still early and suddenly remembered that he hadn't bought any spiritual materials yet, so he headed towards a few spiritual material stalls that he remembered from before.

He noticed those stalls while browsing; they had a fairly complete selection of spiritual materials, and the prices weren't outrageous.

I originally planned to buy the spiritual materials for alchemy once I found a pill furnace, but I almost forgot about it while browsing around.

Now that I think about it, it's the perfect time to go buy it.

He now has the recipes for the Bigu Pill and the Healing Pill. The spiritual materials needed for both pills are very common, and he quickly bought them all.

Once we've bought all the ingredients for the Bigu Pill and the Healing Pill...

After thinking for a moment, Su Yang bought some more spiritual herbs needed for the Condensing Essence Pill.

He had watched Min Yue refine the Condensing Essence Pill every day and had also helped Chen Yuan process spiritual materials, so he was very familiar with the spiritual herbs required for the Condensing Essence Pill.

However, he only knew which ingredients were needed, but not the specific proportions or the method of fusion.

That is the most important thing in refining pills, and it is also the reason why pill formulas are so precious.

The stall owner clearly knew that Su Yang was buying the spiritual materials needed for the Condensation Pill.

He even specifically asked Su Yang if he was an alchemist.

Su Yang ignored him, paid the spirit stones, put the spirit medicine into his storage bag, and left.

After purchasing the necessary spiritual materials, Su Yang prepared to leave the market.

He hadn't walked far when a stall owner suddenly caught up with him and shouted:

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Su Yang felt inexplicably uncomfortable with his words and turned away with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

He discovered that the person chasing him was a thin, small old man. Judging from the state of his stall, he must have just arrived, as he hadn't even finished setting up his stall.

Su Yang was somewhat puzzled, wondering why this person had stopped him, and said with a cold face:

"What do you want me to do?"

The old man looked around mysteriously, then walked to a secluded spot and lowered his voice to say:

"Of course I have something good to show you, fellow Daoist. Please come with me."

Su Yang immediately became wary, but this was in the market, and the person in front of him did not have the aura of the late stage of Qi Refining, so he posed no threat to him.

After thinking about it, Su Yang was indeed curious and went over.

Seeing him approach, the old man's eyes lit up. He leaned closer and lowered his voice even further:

"Fellow Daoist, I have a remarkable cultivation technique here. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Upon hearing about the cultivation method, Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

What extraordinary cultivation techniques could a rogue cultivator at most the mid-stage of Qi Refining possibly possess?

"Oh, what kind of technique?"

The old man glanced around carefully, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he cautiously said:

"It's a cultivation technique called Spirit Seeding Technique. I wonder if you've heard of it?"

Su Yang was slightly taken aback, then shook his head:

"Never heard of it."

The old man stared straight at Su Yang, his tone carrying a hint of seduction:

"The Spirit Cultivation Technique is extraordinary; it's a method that allows one to cultivate their own spiritual roots using various treasures."

"With this technique, you can enhance your spiritual roots. Even if you have five spiritual roots, your cultivation speed will be faster than if you have four or even three spiritual roots."

Su Yang's heart skipped a beat.

There's such a method for cultivating spiritual roots?

He believes that he has gained a certain understanding of the cultivation world after this period of time.

I also learned a lot of strange and unusual stories.

But I've never heard of spiritual roots being able to be improved through later cultivation.

One's spiritual roots are bestowed by heaven and determined from the moment of birth; how can they be changed so easily?

If such methods existed, why would sects need to recruit disciples with good spiritual roots? They could simply cultivate disciples with good spiritual roots themselves.

Su Yang instinctively felt that the stall owner was lying.

But judging from the stall owner's serious tone, it didn't seem like he was talking complete nonsense.

He forcibly suppressed his shock, staring warily into the old man's eyes, his voice growing colder:

"Such a cultivation technique is not something a mere Qi Refining cultivator could possess."

"If you had such a cultivation technique, why would you be setting up a stall here? You could just hand it over to any sect or family, and they could probably guarantee your Foundation Establishment."

A hint of unease flashed across the old man's face, and he chuckled dryly twice.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I never said I had any spiritual power. Otherwise, as you said, why would I be setting up a stall?"

Su Yang narrowed his eyes: "Then why are you saying so much?"

The old man grinned and took out a piece of animal hide from his storage bag:

"Although I do not possess the cultivation technique, I have clues to it."

"This is a treasure map passed down from my ancestors, which marks the location of a certain spiritual technique."

"I feel that my cultivation level is too low, and I am already this old, so there is no hope. Going there would only be suicide, so I want to sell it to someone who is destined to have it."

The old man stared at Su Yang, clearly indicating that Su Yang was the destined person he had spoken of:

"Fellow Daoist, such a precious item is yours for just one hundred spirit stones. One hundred stones, and it's yours."

Su Yang understood instantly.

All those spiritual techniques and treasure maps are lies; they're just trying to scam him out of spirit stones.

He had seen this kind of trick many times in the mortal world.

They make all sorts of promises about treasures, news, and maps, but they're actually worthless.

Trying to lie to him?

That old man is overthinking it!
