Primordial Treasure Mirror

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yang's life was no different from usual, and was extremely regular.

His progress in refining the skin-healing pill was faster than he had expected.

Now we can basically guarantee success in every batch, and in two batches, one batch will produce three pills.

Su Yang was very satisfied.

If things continue at this pace...

In a few more days, he will be able to fully master the Healing Pill.

"My talent doesn't seem to be much worse than Min Yue's."

Su Yang sat on the futon, looking at the three warm pills in his palm, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He put the pills into a pill bottle.

To this day, he has refined more than twenty low-grade skin-healing pills.

If these pills were sold, they would already cover the cost of the spiritual materials he purchased.

Close your eyes.

Su Yang began to summarize his experience in this alchemy session.

After each alchemy session, he would reflect on his recent alchemy processes and make some summaries.

With these experiences...

He became increasingly adept at refining the skin-healing pills.

"Mastering a first-tier pill formula barely qualifies one as a half-first-tier pill master."

"Master one more skill and you'll become a recognized first-tier alchemist in the cultivation world."

"I'm about to master the Skin Healing Pill; I need to consider what the next pill to master should be."

"However, I don't have the prescription right now, so I need to go to the market to make a decision."

After summarizing his experience, Su Yang couldn't help but think.

After pondering the matter of alchemy, Su Yang began his cultivation.

He has been taking elixirs and practicing cultivation without stopping these days.

The spiritual energy within his dantian continued to grow, becoming more abundant day by day.

He could sense that he was only a hair's breadth away from reaching the perfect level of Qi Refining Level 5.

"It'll be soon, in the next day or two."

Su Yang closed his eyes and sensed the state of his spiritual energy, and then made a judgment.

During this period of time.

Another event occurred within the sect: the outer sect competition.

It was the one that Wu Buyan was originally supposed to participate in.

Although the sect issued an order that outstanding handyman disciples have entered the outer sect because of the spy incident of the Demonic Sect a few days ago.

This resulted in the combat between the menial disciples being rather unexciting during the outer sect competition.

However, it still receives a lot of attention from the sect's disciples.

The laborers on Cuiling Peak were all talking about this matter during their breaks from work.

Even Zhou Dazhu, a man of few words, couldn't help but say a few words when he ran into Su Yang in the cafeteria.

The next day in the canteen.

Zhou Dazhu sat opposite Su Yang:

"Junior Brother Su, have you heard? Two formidable figures have emerged in this outer sect competition."

Zhou Dazhu had already broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and his expression was a mixture of envy and admiration.

While eating, Su Yang casually asked:

"What kind of formidable figure?"

Zhou Dazhu introduced him to the following:

"One of them is named Chen Duansheng, who has four spiritual roots and is at the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"In the outer sect competition, he defeated two outer sect disciples at the eighth level of Qi Refining, directly winning first place in the outer sect and being promoted to the inner sect."

"It's rare to see someone like him, who can fight beyond his level, in the previous outer sect competitions. Therefore, he has attracted a lot of attention. Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators present praised him."

Su Yang paused in his eating, and couldn't help but nod:

"Defeating an eighth-level Qi Refiner at the seventh level, fighting across levels, his combat talent is truly remarkable."

Zhou Dazhu nodded and sighed:

"Yes, I heard that he has mastered a family sword technique that is extremely powerful. He is a promising swordsman and his attacks are unstoppable."

"A person like that, even if he enters the inner sect, will become an extraordinary figure."

Su Yang nodded slightly.

For someone with four spiritual roots to possess such strength, and being a potential sword cultivator, they must have considerable talent in sword cultivation and have undoubtedly put in a lot of hard work.

Such a person, as long as they don't perish along the way, will almost certainly have a chance to establish their foundation.

"And one more?"

Su Yang asked.

Zhou Dazhu continued:

"There's another one who's even more remarkable. His name is Wang Shuisheng. Like us, he's a mortal servant with the sixth level of Qi Refining cultivation."

"He and Senior Brother Wu Buyan both entered the outer sect not long ago, but his strength is much greater than Senior Brother Wu's."

"He almost forced a Qi Refining Stage 7 outer disciple to a draw. If that outer disciple hadn't had a higher spiritual power than him, he might have lost to him."

Su Yang raised an eyebrow:

"A mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator fighting to a draw with a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator? His strength is that great?"

Zhou Dazhu said enviously:

"That's right! I heard that an outer sect elder has taken a liking to his combat abilities and wants to take him as a disciple. That's a meteoric rise!"

"I heard that Wang Shuisheng joined the sect at the same time as me, and he has always kept a low profile. Who knew he was so powerful in combat?"

"Sigh, if only I had half their skills."

For outer disciples, being accepted as a disciple by a Foundation Establishment cultivator means their status is no less than that of inner disciples, which can be described as a meteoric rise.

Su Yang sensed the envy and disappointment in Zhou Dazhu's words and comforted him:

"Senior brother, there's no need to be envious. Everyone has their own destiny. Who knows, one day you might be accepted as a disciple by a Golden Core Grandmaster."

Zhou Dazhu smiled wryly upon hearing this:

"Junior brother, please stop teasing me. Forget about Golden Core Grandmaster, I would be content if an inner disciple could accept me as their apprentice."

"I know my own situation, and I know that I cannot compare with people like Wang Shuisheng, but I can't help but have some thoughts in my heart."

"I always think about when we, the menial apprentices, will get ahead? When will we be as successful as Wang Shuisheng?"

"But I know in my heart that it will be very difficult to do in this lifetime."

Su Yang didn't say anything more.

He actually agreed with what Zhou Dazhu said.

He displayed his divine power in front of others, enjoying boundless glory.

How could he not yearn for it?

Back then, at the Ascension Ceremony, when Senior Brother Chu looked down on me and called me an ant.

The humiliation that surged in his heart remains vivid in his memory to this day.

He also wanted to stand tall and proud in front of people, just like Chen Duansheng and Wang Shuisheng, and tell everyone that he was not a good-for-nothing.

Unfortunately, he couldn't.

Su Yang harbors the secret of the Primordial Treasure Mirror, a secret so vast that once exposed, it would lead to utter ruin.

Therefore, he cannot expose his abnormality; at least until he possesses the corresponding strength, he must keep it hidden.

One can only reveal one's strength little by little, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.

"Putting on a show in front of others? We'll talk about that later."

"First, I need to improve my cultivation level and accumulate strength. When I have enough confidence and no longer need to hide, then it's not too late to show off!"

Su Yang said to himself.

That night.

After Su Yang returned to the house.

As usual, I took the premium Qingmu Dan.

The medicine enters the mouth, its medicinal power dissolves, and flows through the meridians.

Guided by the Primordial Green Yang Technique, it eventually transformed into spiritual energy in the dantian.

After one top-grade Green Wood Pill was used up.

Su Yang could feel that the spiritual energy in his dantian was already saturated.

That feeling of being so full it was almost overflowing stirred something within him:

"We can break through now."

Feeling the restless spiritual energy stirring within his dantian.

Su Yang made a decision quickly.

He didn't take any more top-grade Green Wood Pills, but instead took out the last top-grade Wood Spirit Jade Transformation Pill.

He had saved this specifically for this moment!
