Primordial Treasure Mirror

Wang Heng's words were spoken.

The servants below looked at each other, many of them still showing dissatisfaction and worry.

Wang Heng glanced at them, naturally understanding their concerns, and said in a cold tone:

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, they were all personally investigated by Foundation Establishment Elders before they entered the sect."

"There are no spies from the Demonic Sect among them, and there's no need to worry about them breaking the rules; they don't have the guts."

Some of the servants were somewhat relieved upon hearing this, but many others were unwilling but did not dare to object.

Su Yang stood at the back of the crowd, his vigilance undiminished by Wang Heng's words.

Although some Foundation Establishment cultivators have investigated, it's hard to say that there weren't any who slipped through the net.

Just like him.

When Elder Min investigated Tianqing Peak, he only scanned it roughly with his divine sense and did not examine it in detail.

He then successfully bluffed his way through.

Who can guarantee that there aren't spies with sophisticated disguises planted by the demonic sect among these rogue cultivators?

"Better to have too much than too little; the sect is really in a hurry this time."

Su Yang sighed inwardly.

He did not agree with the Qingyang Sect's approach, but he did not give up and could not change the sect's decision.

All he can do is protect himself.

He needs to be even more careful in the days to come.

These rogue cultivators have unknown origins; who knows what kind of snakes, insects, rats, and ants are hiding among them?

What Su Yang needed to do was to avoid attracting attention, not to interact with these rogue cultivators, and to focus on his cultivation and alchemy.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

The next two days.

He kept a low profile and did not join the other servants in complaining about and being hostile to these newly initiated rogue cultivators.

He devoted all his time to his cultivation and alchemy.

Although no Healing Pill was successfully made, we have certainly gained a lot of experience.

But he doesn't go looking for trouble.

Trouble found its way to them.

It was the evening of the third day after the independent practitioners began their training.

Su Yang returned to the house and was just about to take out the alchemy furnace from the treasure mirror space to refine pills.

Then someone knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock.

I heard a knock on the door.

Su Yang frowned.

Who would come looking for him at this time?

He didn't know many people on Cuilin Peak, and Zhou Dazhu had been focusing on his cultivation these past few days, so it was unlikely he would come looking for him.

Su Yang got up and opened the door.

A woman was standing outside the door.

The woman looked to be in her late twenties, and her appearance wasn't particularly refined.

But its charm lies in the mature allure in its eyes and brows.

With her voluptuous figure, even wearing the loose-fitting clothes of a menial disciple, her impressive physique was hard to conceal.

In particular, she deliberately adjusted the front of her clothes, making her fair and smooth skin immediately noticeable.

Even Su Yang couldn't help but focus his gaze on her chest area first.

However, Su Yang quickly recovered. What he had just done was an instinct, and he quickly restrained it after realizing what had happened.

He looked the woman in front of him up and down a few times.

I'm certain I don't know this person, but judging from their demeanor, they must be one of the newly arrived independent cultivators.

"May I ask what business you have with me, fellow Daoist?"

The person in front of him appeared to be more skilled than him, yet he had entered the sect later.

Su Yang was unsure whether to address her as "Junior Sister" or "Senior Sister".

The voluptuous woman smiled, her voice soft and alluring:

"You must be Junior Brother Su? My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Wan. You can call me Senior Sister Zhang."

"I heard that you, like us independent cultivators, have not been practicing for long, so I came here specifically to meet you. Now that I have met you, you are truly a man of great talent."

Upon hearing her praise, Su Yang immediately became wary.

He didn't seem to care much about his senior and junior sisters, and said calmly:

"Senior Sister Zhang, you flatter me. Now that we've met, do you have anything else to discuss? If not, I'll be heading back to my cultivation."

Zhang Wan's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this, but she quickly composed herself and revealed a gentle smile:

"Besides coming to see my junior brother, I have another request to make."

Su Yang suddenly realized, and couldn't help but think:

"Since you know it's an unreasonable request, why even say it?"

His facial expression remained unchanged.

"What is it?"

Zhang Wan licked her lips, took a step forward, and stopped when she saw Su Yang frown and back away, her eyes filled with seductive charm:

"Then let me be frank, Senior Sister. I am a cultivator with four spiritual roots. I am currently at the fourth level of Qi Refining and have been stuck at the bottleneck for several months. I have been unable to break through."

"I heard that you junior brothers all have a Yellow Sprout Pill. I wonder if you could lend it to me first?"

Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

It turns out it was for Huangyadan (a traditional Chinese medicine).

He did know about this.

This group of mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators did indeed enter the Qingyang Sect and become its miscellaneous servants.

However, since they did not enter through the Ascension Ceremony, they did not enjoy some of the exclusive benefits that belonged to sect disciples.

It's like every new disciple gets a Yellow Sprout Pill, but they don't.

However, Zhang Wan, who was already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, still asked him for Huangya Pills.

Yellow Sprout Pill can indeed help cultivators break through bottlenecks, but it is most helpful for breaking through from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage. Its help for breaking through minor bottlenecks between the middle and middle stages of Qi Refining is only so-so.

It seems that these independent cultivators are indeed as rumored, and they will not let go of any resources that can help them cultivate.

Su Yang can understand, but that doesn't mean he will accept it.

Wanting Huang Yadan to earn spirit stones to buy it herself and asking him for a loan is really wishful thinking.

He wouldn't even lend Wu Buyan, let alone Zhang Wan, whom he knew nothing about.

Su Yang shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Wan noticed and took another half step forward.

The cloying scent of her perfume wafted into Su Yang's nose, causing him to furrow his brows even more.

Zhao Qingyao was naturally beautiful and rarely used cosmetics, so he was very uncomfortable with the smell of cosmetics on women.

Zhang Wan stared straight at him:

"Junior brother, I know that the Yellow Sprout Pill is precious, but I certainly won't use yours for nothing. Once I break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, I will definitely find a way to return it to you."

She paused here, her eyes glistening with tears:

"Also, my husband passed away early, and I haven't had a man by my side for many years. My junior brother is all alone on this peak, with no one to care for him. It's not convenient for him."

"If you're willing, junior brother, I'll belong to you from now on."

After Zhang Wan finished speaking, she even made a shy expression.

Upon hearing this, Su Yang almost lost his composure.

"Become my woman? We've only just met, and you don't even know who I am, yet you're saying things like that."

"These rogue cultivators are really willing to go to great lengths for their cultivation."

He maintained his composure and shook his head in refusal.

"Senior Sister Zhang, I appreciate your kindness. However, I need to keep the Yellow Sprout Pill for my own breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refining, so it's inconvenient for me to lend it to someone else. You should find someone else."

Zhang Wan's smile froze, barely managing to maintain its gentleness:

"Junior Brother Su, you can certainly keep the one the sect gave you to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. However, as far as I know, you also have a Yellow Sprout Pill. Lending me one shouldn't be a problem."
