Primordial Treasure Mirror

After seeing Liu Mei off.

After briefly considering the possible situations he might face tomorrow, Su Yang began his cultivation.

He sat cross-legged on the bed.

The internal energy cultivation method was constantly circulating.

Each top-grade Qi Condensation Pill, once swallowed, transforms into surging spiritual energy that flows through the meridians and eventually converges in the dantian.

Overnight.

He refined a total of four Qi Condensation Pills.

When all the pills have been refined.

The sky outside the window was already beginning to lighten.

Su Yang slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

He was sensing the condition within his body.

The spiritual energy within his dantian had grown significantly stronger than the previous night.

His cultivation at the third level of Qi Refining progressed steadily.

We're a little closer to achieving perfection on the third floor.

Based on the current pace of cultivation.

As long as the supply of pills continues, he can cultivate Qi Refining Level 3 to perfection in at most half a month.

Then you can try to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and enter the middle stage of Qi Refining.

I wonder if his five spiritual roots will encounter a strong bottleneck when he breaks through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Or perhaps he can easily break through using cultivation techniques and elixirs?

Su Yang casually took out the pill bottle, uncorked it, and glanced inside.

There are ten low-grade Qi Condensation Pills left in the bottle.

Su Yang frowned slightly.

The Primordial Treasure Mirror's power of creation can only be used on items that have not yet been created.

The upgraded top-grade Qi Condensation Pill cannot be thrown into the mirror space for further creation.

In other words, he now has only fifty top-grade Qi Condensation Pills left.

Fortunately, judging from his current progress, fifty top-grade Qi Condensation Pills should be enough for him to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Even if he's not quite there yet, he can still manage to get a few Qi Condensation Pills with his Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation.

After all, it's just a basic pill in the cultivation world, which can be used by cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining, and it's not considered particularly precious.

Su Yang collected the elixir bottles.

He thought that once he reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, he could start practicing magic, and his strength would experience a qualitative leap.

Obtaining new elixirs then should be much easier than it is now.

However, the prerequisite is to obtain the Breath Concealment Technique.

Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for a novice handyman to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Ideally, there should also be a way to disguise oneself.

Thinking this way.

Su Yang had already gotten up and left.

After having breakfast at the canteen, he took his axe and headed to the Spirit Ironwood Forest.

Today's work is no different from yesterday's.

He continued to deliberately suppress his cultivation level.

Pretending to struggle, they felled the spirit tree.

I completed half the task in the morning, ate lunch at the cafeteria, and continued in the afternoon.

As dusk approached.

After finishing his day's work, Su Yang returned to his room.

After meditating and recovering his spiritual energy, he opened his eyes. It was still dark outside, and there was still some time before midnight.

He wasted no time and immediately began taking elixirs and cultivating.

After completing one cycle of spiritual practice.

Su Yang estimated that it was about time, so he pushed open the door and went out.

He had visited the old locust tree on the hill behind the servants' quarters once during the day and remembered the way.

We walked along the path through a grove of trees.

I could see the old locust tree from afar.

Its branches and leaves are lush, and its canopy is like a canopy.

A large shadow was cast under the moonlight.

Su Yang walked closer and found that quite a few people had already arrived.

He counted them; there were about seven or eight people, all dressed as menial disciples.

He looked closely and recognized many of them; they were new handymen who had joined the class at the same time as him.

Judging from this, those gathered here tonight must all be the new handymen recruited by Wu Buyan.

The servants gathered in twos and threes, some whispering to each other, others remaining silent to themselves.

Su Yang did not see Liu Mei and Wu Buyan, so they must not have arrived yet.

He quietly approached the edge of the crowd and chose an inconspicuous spot to stand.

Naturally, some people noticed him as well.

In addition, he is a famous person.

Several people recognized him.

But no one paid him any attention; they just looked at him with curiosity.

Su Yang didn't care about the stares of others; he just wanted to keep a low profile and not stand out.

We waited for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

A series of footsteps approached.

Su Yang looked up.

I saw a tall young man walking down the path.

He was followed by four servant disciples, and Liu Mei was among them.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties.

His face was rather ordinary, and his skin was slightly dark.

But those eyes were remarkably calm.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow, yet he exuded a natural air of authority.

This must be Wu Buyan.

A thought popped into Su Yang's mind.

When the young man arrived under the old locust tree, the servants who had been whispering all fell silent.

"Fellow disciples."

The young man's voice was calm, yet extremely penetrating:

"My name is Wu Buyan. I have been a disciple for five years and my current cultivation level is Qi Refining Level 5."

"Some of you may have heard my name, and some may not, but that doesn't matter."

"I've invited you all here tonight because I want to say a few words from the bottom of my heart."

Wu Buyan spoke in a low voice, but his voice sounded exceptionally sincere.

Su Yang listened quietly, wanting to know what Wu Buyan's purpose was.

Wu Buyan continued:

"We are all menial disciples, doing the hardest and most tiring work. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the inner disciples, we are not even considered human."

"I've been a disciple for five years and have personally witnessed too many menial disciples either die from overwork, are tortured to death by their supervisors, or can't take it anymore and leave the mountain on their own."

"Very few people actually manage to make it to the top."

He paused, his voice lowering:

"Why? Because we have no resources, no people, and no backing."

"For us menial laborers, it's too difficult to make a name for ourselves by working our way up on our own!"

The servants following behind him nodded repeatedly, clearly deeply moved.

The new servants below all looked solemn.

Wu Buyan continued:

"That's why I created this circle, so that we can get together, share resources, and support each other."

"If someone is bullied, we should all work together to find a solution. If someone is missing something, we can try to share it with each other."

"Although I, Wu Buyan, am not very capable, as long as I am still on Cuiling Peak, I will never stand by and watch my people be bullied."

After he finished speaking...

Several of the handyman disciples were moved.

Su Yang stood at the edge, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Wu Buyan's words were indeed sincere.

But he always felt that the other party had laid so much groundwork.

There are still important things I haven't said.

A menial disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

They went to great lengths to recruit this group of newcomers.

It's definitely not just about helping them stick together and keep warm.

really.

Wu Buyan then changed the subject:

"However, while I'm helping you all, I also have something I'd like to ask my fellow disciples for help with."

A servant in the crowd asked:

"I wonder how we can help you, senior brother?"

Wu Buyan glanced around and slowly began to speak:

"I've been stuck at the fifth level of Qi Refining for half a year, and the sect's outer sect competition is less than two months away."

"Only menial disciples at the sixth level of Qi Refining or above can participate in the Outer Sect Grand Competition to determine the spots for entering the Outer Sect."

"At my current speed, it's unlikely that I can break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining on my own within two months."

He spoke with a helpless tone, then bowed to the crowd:

"We can only rely on you all."
