Primordial Treasure Mirror

After Zhou Dazhu finished speaking...

Su Yang's heart stirred.

He remembered what Liu Mei had said last night.

The two of them said exactly the same thing.

"Is that so? Thank you for your guidance, Brother Zhou."

Su Yang nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Dazhu waved his hand:

"Don't be so polite. But I still have to remind you a few things: if you want to buy cultivation techniques from the market, you either have to spend a lot of spirit stones to buy them from those legitimate shops."

"Either you have to take the risk of buying from a small stall. Those cultivators who set up stalls are not good people. Not only is it hard to tell if the cultivation techniques they sell are genuine or fake, but there may also be traps. You must be extremely careful."

"As for joining circles, I've been used to being alone all these years, so I haven't paid much attention to it. But you have to remember to be wary of people, lest you get sold out and still be counting the money for them."

Su Yang nodded slightly and thanked him again.

He could feel Zhou Dazhu's concern.

However, he already had a plan in mind.

The road to the market is temporarily closed.

Even if he did have spirit stones, he wouldn't dare use them given his current cultivation level.

He understands the principle of not flaunting one's wealth.

Then the only option is to find a circle to join and see if we can exchange information and obtain a breathing concealment technique.

Liu Mei and the people behind her are a good choice.

Their small group clearly has connections.

Su Yang felt he could try to make use of it.

of course.

As Zhou Dazhu said, one should always be wary of others.

He will also be more careful.

He would never have taken this risk if the breath-concealing technique had not been so urgent.

His cultivation speed is too fast; the Breath Concealment Technique must be obtained as soon as possible.

If Liu Mei truly possesses the cultivation technique, then even paying a price would be worthwhile.

Moreover, his cultivation speed is extremely fast.

It won't be long before I break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

A mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level is not bad among all the miscellaneous disciples.

He was confident he could handle whatever schemes Liu Mei might have at that time.

.....

It was evening.

After finishing his work for the day, Su Yang returned to his residence.

Fifty spirit ironwood trees were felled today.

He didn't feel tired at all, and he still had more than half of his spiritual energy left.

Compared to the previous two days, it's so much easier now.

Close the door.

I sat cross-legged on the bed.

He first spent half an hour recovering his spiritual power.

He then planned to take elixirs to cultivate.

But before he could take out the top-grade Qi Condensation Pill from the mirror space...

The familiar knocking sounded again.

Su Yang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then got up to open the door.

Sure enough, it was Liu Mei behind the door.

She was dressed in the clothes of a menial disciple, with a smile on her face and a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes.

"Junior Brother Su, Senior Sister is here again."

Liu Mei spoke with a smile, her tone extremely familiar.

Su Yang stepped aside to let her in, his expression as calm as ever.

"Why has Senior Sister Liu come to see me again?"

Liu Mei naturally walked into the room, sat on the bed, and patted the spot next to her, gesturing for Su Yang to sit down.

Su Yang shook his head and did nothing, but leaned against the door frame, waiting for her to speak.

Liu Mei wasn't annoyed at all, and still had a smile on her face:

"Junior Brother Su, have you reconsidered what I told you yesterday?"

Su Yang's heart skipped a beat, but he looked troubled:

"Senior Sister Liu, as I said yesterday, I'm used to being alone."

Liu Mei shook her head and sighed, her voice filled with concern:

"Junior brother, it's so hard being alone."

"You must be extremely tired from working these past few days. Ding Yue has assigned you more than twice the amount of work that others have. If this continues, how can you keep going?"

Su Yang didn't speak, but his expression seemed to change.

Liu Mei's eyes lit up, and she struck while the iron was hot:

"I've seen many newcomers like my junior. They're all very confident at first, thinking they can make it big."

"But the life of a menial disciple is much harder than you think. You've seen what kind of people Ding Yue and Pang Yue are. They can steal your pills today, and they can send you to your death tomorrow."

"You can't fight them."

Her tone softened slightly as she advised:

"But it's different when you join us. There's strength in numbers, and we can help each other out if anything happens. We're also well-informed, and life is much easier."

"Not to mention, if someone becomes an outer disciple or even an inner disciple in the future, all they need to do is send a few words, and your troubles will be solved, won't they?"

Su Yang's expression became increasingly hesitant, but he had not yet spoken.

Liu Mei observed his expression, then suddenly changed the subject:

"Well then, words are no proof, and no matter how much I say, it's unlikely to sway you."

"Why don't you come with me to see someone? If you still don't want to after the meeting, I won't bother you again."

Su Yang was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised:

"Who is it?"

"Senior Brother Wu."

Su Yang didn't know who Senior Brother Wu was.

Seeing the confusion on his face, Liu Mei began to explain:

"Senior Brother Wu, whose real name is Wu Buyan, is also a menial disciple of our Cui Ling Peak."

"However, he is no ordinary handyman. He is the one with the highest cultivation level among us handymen. He has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and is even about to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining."

Her tone clearly conveyed admiration:

"Senior Brother Wu has only been a disciple for five years, yet he has climbed up step by step from the very bottom to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining."

"He formed a circle among the menial disciples, gathered a lot of people together, and helped each other out."

"He is extremely warm-hearted. Once you enter his circle, your life will be much better than outside."

"I'm here to recruit new people, all for Senior Brother Wu's benefit, to help him expand his influence."

Su Yang nodded slightly.

What Liu Mei said was probably true, but she was definitely hiding a lot of things.

Even if Wu Buyan's circle needs to recruit handymen.

But why would they be so eager to recruit a novice disciple with five spiritual roots as a menial servant?

Why did Liu Mei come for two consecutive days? Was it just because she was eager to make a name for herself and wanted to recruit more people to show to that martial arts senior brother?

Su Yang didn't believe it.

However, he was much more relaxed at this point.

From Liu Mei's words, we can infer that she must have also recruited other newcomers.

In other words, Liu Mei didn't come specifically for him.

In this way, the risk was not as great as he had thought.

In addition, this is indeed an opportunity.

Su Yang could have first observed what Wu Buyan's purpose was.

If he can fulfill Wu Buyan's request without incurring significant losses.

He could have used this opportunity to exchange with Wu Buyan for a technique to conceal his breath.

Wu Buyan has been a disciple for five years and has formed a small group, which most likely includes a technique for concealing one's breath.

Thinking about this...

Su Yang made up his mind and looked at Liu Mei:

"Since my senior sister has said so, how can I refuse?"

Liu Mei's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Junior Brother Su, does that mean you've agreed?"

Su Yang shook his head:

"I only promised my senior sister that I would go and meet that martial arts senior brother. As for whether I will join or not, we'll talk about it later."

Liu Mei didn't care at all and stood up with a smile:

"Alright, as long as you see Senior Brother Wu, you won't refuse."

"Tomorrow night at 9 PM, under the big locust tree on the back hill of the servants' quarters, there will be quite a few new servants there. Junior brother, remember to be on time."
