Primordial Treasure Mirror

To refine a skin-healing elixir.

Su Yang was in a very good mood.

In addition, the matter concerning Zhang Wan and others had already reached a point of no further development.

Su Yang then took out the storage bags of Zhang Wan and the other nine people from the Primordial Treasure Mirror.

He kept the storage bag hidden in the mirror space.

They were afraid that the sect might have the means to find out something.

He had only glanced at the storage bag briefly after receiving it.

They confirmed that there were no items inside that were obviously valuable treasures at first glance.

Now that the matter is settled, it's time to take stock.

"Nine rogue cultivators, all at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and all with storage bags, making them relatively wealthy among rogue cultivators."

"However, even the wealthiest rogue cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi Refining won't be that rich. If they can all be as wealthy as Ding Yue, that would be quite impressive."

Su Yang emptied all the contents of the nine storage bags.

They were neatly arranged on the ground in front of them, categorized by type.

Spirit stones were piled up, magical artifacts were piled up, books were piled up, and miscellaneous items were piled up as well.

The situation regarding spirit stones was roughly as Su Yang had anticipated.

The nine people combined had less than a hundred spirit stones, which was about the same as Ding Yue's.

Zhang Wan had the most spirit stones in her storage bag, with over forty, while the others had only one or two.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder he's a rogue cultivator, he's really poor. He only has this much wealth at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. No wonder he's willing to come to the sect as a handyman."

Su Yang put away the spirit stones and then began to check the condition of the magic artifact.

There were quite a few ritual implements.

The nine people possessed a total of thirteen low-level magical artifacts, including all sorts of strangely shaped weapons.

Su Yang didn't pay much attention; low-level magic artifacts weren't really valuable, and the magic artifacts that Zhang Wan and the others possessed were of average quality.

On average, a magic weapon costs only a dozen or so spirit stones.

"All together, it's probably worth around a hundred spirit stones. I'll find a chance to sell it all later; it's not a small amount."

Su Yang felt a little better.

He put away the magical artifacts and began to examine the books.

The book disappointed him greatly.

Needless to say, their cultivation techniques were pitifully poor, completely inferior to the Qingyang Breathing Technique.

The same applies to spells.

There were only a handful of entry-level spells, and they were all common spells that Su Yang had already mastered.

The rest were all low-level spells, some of which overlapped with the spells in Ding Yue and Pang Yue's storage bags.

It's fair to say that the spells in the nine people's storage bags were completely useless in terms of improving his strength.

Only those with slightly peculiar functions might be useful in the future, such as the Corpse Control Technique and the Sound Absorption Technique.

Su Yang put them away safely. With his divination abilities, he still needed to learn them; it wouldn't take too much time anyway.

All that's left is a pile of junk.

Clothes, dry food, alcohol, and all sorts of other miscellaneous items were piled together.

Su Yang used magic remotely to collect all the useless junk into a storage bag.

After cleaning for about half an hour.

He put away most of the miscellaneous items.

Only two slightly different items remained.

He placed two things in front of him.

A hint of expectation lingered in his eyes.

The previous items were all ordinary things, but these two were things he couldn't quite understand.

Su Yang first looked at the first item.

It was a palm-sized, bluish-black stone.

The stone's surface appears smooth and warm, but inside the surface, there are a multitude of extremely complex patterns.

The patterns were winding and twisting, neither like writing nor like a picture, and Su Yang couldn't recognize what it was.

The other item was a tattered animal hide.

Su Yang initially thought it was just the pelt of an ordinary wild animal, and it was even tattered, so he almost put it directly into his storage bag.

Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of the tiny characters on the animal skin and kept it.

Then he discovered that the material of the animal hide was extremely special.

Even if he tried to cut it with a magical weapon, it would be difficult to cause any damage.

This piqued his interest in the animal hide.

Su Yang first picked up the bluish-black stone.

The stone felt cold to the touch and was much heavier than it looked.

He examined the pattern several times, but couldn't find anything special about it.

The reason Su Yang felt this stone was special was because...

It was because when he first saw the stone, for some reason, he suddenly lost his focus for a moment.

In that instant, he became certain that this stone was definitely extraordinary.

But when he looked at the stone again, he couldn't find the feeling he had before.

As he stared intently at the patterns on the stone, he suddenly noticed that the patterns had moved.

Su Yang subconsciously stared at that spot.

The patterns on the stone slowly swirled and intertwined in his eyes, changing into different shapes, like a painting that had come to life.

His gaze was unconsciously drawn to it.

My mind became completely absorbed in it.

The whole world seemed to be separated, leaving only the lines in my eyes.

I don't know how much time passed.

Su Yang finally came to his senses and subconsciously looked at the bluish-black stone, only to find that the patterns on it had not changed.

"What did I just see?"

Su Yang was taken aback, somewhat puzzled:

"Could it have all been a hallucination?"

He quickly dismissed his own idea.

Because he himself had undergone some changes at this time.

The most obvious one is the brain.

My temples are throbbing slightly, and my mind is foggy.

It's like when you're a mortal, and you haven't rested for days, so you're in a daze.

This feeling of drowsiness was also accompanied by it.

There was also an indescribable sense of clarity.

That feeling was very strange.

A mixture of lucidity and drowsiness left Su Yang unsure of his own state.

Obviously.

This state is caused by the bluish-black stone in my hand.

To be precise, it's caused by the patterns on the stone.

"Does this stone have any effect on one's mental state?"

Su Yang guessed.

He couldn't help but look at the patterns on the stone again.

Focus your attention on a certain place.

Then the patterns started moving again.

But as soon as the pattern moved, Su Yang felt a sharp pain in his mind, and the pattern returned to normal.

I can feel this change.

Su Yang became even more certain of his guess: the patterns on the stone were likely affecting his mental state.

He rubbed his temples:

"Never mind, I can't figure it out in a short time. I'll keep it for now and think about it later."

Su Yang put the stone into the Primordial Treasure Mirror, and then picked up the remaining piece of animal hide.

The animal hide was covered with tiny, densely packed characters.

The handwriting looks crooked and the ink is of varying shades, like a book being written.

Fortunately, the characters were ones he was familiar with.

Su Yang slowly examined the contents of the animal hide, his expression growing increasingly solemn while also carrying a hint of surprise.

"It's neither a cultivation technique nor a magic spell; it's more like a medical art?"

He had never heard of anything recorded in the booklet.

The contents of the booklet are truly appalling.

It is covered with numerous diagrams of human meridians and skeletal structures, along with a dense array of annotations.

Because the pictures were extremely small and the text was also incredibly small, Su Yang could only concentrate on reading them little by little.

But because he was looking so intently, by the time he had seen most of it, he already knew what was written on the animal hide.

"Spiritual bone and spiritual root transplantation technique?!"
