Primordial Treasure Mirror

They thought Su Yang might be a master alchemist.

Manager Lin's attitude visibly warmed up.

"A first-tier pill formula? Yes."

"Our shop happens to have two first-tier pill formulas available for sale. They are complete, properly copied formulas with all the necessary information and no errors or omissions."

As he spoke, he took out two booklets from his storage bag and placed them in front of Su Yang.

"One is the recipe for the Condensing Essence Pill, priced at 110 spirit stones; the other is the recipe for the Breaking Illusion and Enlightening the Mind Pill, priced at 100 spirit stones."

Su Yang's eyes lit up when he saw the two booklets.

He picked up two booklets and flipped through them.

Although both booklets are restricted in the latter half, much can already be gleaned from the first half alone.

He was not unfamiliar with the formula for the Condensing Essence Pill.

He had seen it many times at Min Yue's place before, and he already had a general idea of ​​the proportions of spiritual materials in it.

He just didn't know the more precise details.

As for the Breaking Illusion and Enlightening the Mind Pill, this was the first time he had ever encountered it, or even heard of it.

Su Yang asked:

"What kind of pill is the 'Pill for Dispelling Illusions and Enlightening the Mind'?"

Manager Lin explained:

"The Illusion-Dispelling and Mind-Clearing Pill is a first-tier pill specifically used to dispel illusions and illusionary spells. Its uses are relatively uncommon, and ordinary cultivators don't need it."

"In addition, it is quite difficult to refine and the spiritual materials used are relatively expensive. Few alchemists refine this kind of pill, so its reputation is very small among first-order pills."

"To be honest, our Pill Pavilion has been selling this pill formula for decades, but we've only sold a dozen or so copies in total."

Su Yang nodded slightly.

Manager Lin spoke frankly and didn't mean to deceive him.

Pills like the "Pill for Breaking Through Illusions and Enlightening the Mind" are indeed not popular, but less common pills also have their unique value.

If one ever encounters an enemy skilled in illusion, or accidentally enters an illusionary realm, having a "Pill of Dispelling Illusion and Enlightening the Mind" might be a glimmer of hope.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yang picked up two booklets:

"I want both the formulas for the Condensing Essence Pill and the Breaking Illusion and Enlightening the Mind Pill."

The price quoted by Manager Lin is the standard price for a first-grade pill formula; there is no need to haggle.

Manager Lin was naturally pleased to be able to sell two pill formulas.

After all, any pill formula that can be sold will generate profit from each sale.

The real treasures are the pill formulas that the family has kept.

The Lin family certainly couldn't only have two first-tier pill formulas.

The reason I only sold these two is that I kept the other pill formulas for my own use.

The profits from having the alchemists they kept refined by their own training were far greater than those from selling the formulas individually.

The same applies to other families and even sects.

They would not sell important prescriptions casually.

Manager Lin raised his hand, made a hand seal, and touched the two books, releasing the restrictions on them:

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, that's a total of two hundred and ten spirit stones."

Su Yang didn't waste any time, counted out two hundred and ten spirit stones, and handed them over.

Manager Lin checked the items and, after confirming that everything was correct, nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, you are straightforward."

Then, his smile deepened, and he lowered his voice:

"If you have any more pills to sell in the future, please consider our Lin Clan Pill Pavilion first."

"Putting everything else aside, in the entire Xinyang Market, the prices offered by Lin's Trading Company are absolutely the fairest; no other company will offer higher prices!"

Su Yang understood the implication in Manager Lin's words.

Manager Lin believed him to be an alchemist.

He neither confirmed nor denied it, but simply smiled noncommittally.

"If there are any more, I will come again."

But he just said it casually.

Given his personality, he'll most likely find a different place to sell pills next time.

Done.

Su Yang put away the pill formula, cupped his hands in greeting to the shopkeeper, and turned to leave the shop.

Manager Lin watched his figure disappear.

The smile on his face faded slightly, replaced by a look of loss.

He put away the spirit stones on the counter and was about to sit down when he suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs.

A young man dressed in a moon-white robe came down from upstairs.

This man was in his early twenties, with a handsome appearance and a composure and reserve typical of scions of prominent families.

The young man walked up to the counter and casually asked:

"Uncle Yang, who was that person just now?"

Manager Lin Yang's expression became respectful upon seeing him, and upon hearing his question, he quickly replied:

"Young Master, that was a rogue cultivator who came to sell Healing Pills. He was about the sixth level of Qi Refining and bought two pill formulas from our shop."

Young Master Lin raised an eyebrow, showing some interest:

"A rogue cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining bought two pill formulas at once. Does he have a pill master backing him?"

Lin Yang nodded:

"It's possible, but I have another suspicion: he might be an alchemist himself, or at least a quasi-alchemist who has mastered the Healing Skin Pill."

"After all, ordinary rogue cultivators wouldn't be like him, casually taking out more than two hundred spirit stones to buy pill formulas."

Neither of them had considered the possibility that Su Yang was a cultivator from a sect.

After all, in their view...

Why would a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining need to buy pill formulas from them?

Obtaining pill formulas within a sect is much easier than outside.

The young master pondered for a moment:

"If that's the case, a prospective alchemist who can refine skin-healing pills is worth our Lin family's efforts to win over."

"If I could also master the Condensing Essence Pill or the Breaking Illusion and Enlightening Mind Pill and become a first-level alchemist, that would be even more remarkable."

Lin Yang agreed with his statement:

"That's what I thought too, so I hinted that he could give us priority when he has any pills in the future."

"However, he did not respond, it's unclear whether it was out of caution or lack of interest."

Young Master Lin waved his hand:

"This matter cannot be rushed. Here's what we'll do: next time he comes to sell pills, keep a close eye on him and offer him the highest possible price."

"Also, if he's selling Condensing Essence Pills or Breaking Illusion and Enlightening Mind Pills, contact me immediately. I'll try to see if I can bring him into the Lin family."

Lin Yang respectfully agreed.

......

Su Yang had already gone far away and was completely unaware of what had happened inside the Lin family's trading house.

After leaving the merchant's pavilion, he wandered around the spiritual materials stalls in the market.

I bought some spiritual materials for refining the Condensing Essence Pill and the Breaking Illusion and Enlightening Mind Pill.

He had bought a batch of the spiritual materials for refining the Condensation Pill last time, but bought less this time.

Not many people buy the Breaking Illusion and Enlightening Mind Pill either, mainly because the spiritual materials for the Breaking Illusion and Enlightening Mind Pill are less common and the price is relatively high.

Su Yang visited several stalls before finally gathering all the necessary materials for the Breaking Illusion and Enlightening the Mind Pill.

Su Yang looked at the spirit stones in his storage bag, which had shrunk by more than half, and felt a slight pang of regret.

"I spent nearly a hundred spirit stones again. These spirit stones really don't last long."

However, the thought that he could earn back the money after refining the spiritual materials into pills lessened the pain considerably.

"These are all necessary expenses. With the pill formula and spiritual materials, we can start refining the Qi Condensation Pill when we get back."

After purchasing the spiritual materials.

Su Yang did not linger in the market.

They headed straight towards the sect.

The journey home went smoothly.

The lingering influence of the Qingyang Sect's purge of spies from the Demonic Sect was still present; not a single suspicious figure was seen along the way.

Su Yang used the Feather Transformation Lightness Technique all the way and returned to Emerald Spirit Peak in less than an hour.

Back in the house, he took out the formula for the Qi Condensation Pill, looking forward with great anticipation:

"I wonder how long it will take me to master the Condensation Pill."
