Primordial Treasure Mirror

Su Yang did not start refining pills immediately.

Instead, he meditated and regulated his breathing for a while.

After recovering spiritual power.

Only then did I begin to study the formula for Ningyuan Pill.

Besides the spiritual materials and precise proportions required for the Condensing Essence Pill.

The prescription also records many experiences from predecessors.

This involves a great deal of knowledge about refining techniques and rhythms, including the optimal state for each step in alchemy and how to refine higher-grade Qi Condensation Pills.

Su Yang was increasingly delighted as he looked at it:

"As expected of a complete pill formula collected by a Foundation Establishment family, the details are very detailed. Even if I don't practice the Qi Condensation Pill, much of the knowledge in it is still very useful to me."

He read the prescription several times, memorizing its contents.

He then carefully put away the pill formula and began to mentally rehearse the entire pill-refining process, as well as the problems he might encounter during the process.

"The timing of adding the medicine, the rhythm of controlling the fire, and the final technique of condensing the pill were almost identical to those when Min Yue was refining pills, but there were some differences in the details."

Su Yang thought for a moment:

"The Lin family's pill formula is probably not as good as the one Min Yue obtained, but I can't say for sure which one is more suitable. Let's give it a try first."

He took out the alchemy furnace from the mirror space.

After preparing the spiritual materials, I used hand seals to ignite the fire and started refining the elixir.

The first batch failed as expected.

When it came to the final stage of fusion, Su Yang chose the method from the prescription, but due to a problem with timing, the medicinal properties were not fully fused.

One of the medicinal herbs solidified, causing a conflict with the other herbs, which prevented even the refining of a waste pill.

Facing the residue in the alchemy furnace, Su Yang wasn't discouraged. While cleaning the furnace, he summarized:

"Actually, this technique in the pill formula is quite suitable for me. It requires a high degree of control over the heat, and I have an improved flame-holding technique that can fully meet its requirements."

"As long as we seize the opportunity, even if we don't refine a finished pill, reaching the stage of pill formation is not a problem."

The second batch begins.

He refined the pills very smoothly, without much pause until they were completed.

However, it ultimately failed, and the reason has not yet been found.

Fortunately, it wasn't a complete failure; it just turned into a useless pill.

Su Yang picked up the discarded pill and found that its quality was very poor, but he was already quite satisfied.

He produced defective pills in just two batches, a pace that was much faster than Min Yue's.

Of course, Min Yue directly started refining the Condensing Essence Pill at that time. He had already refined the Skin Healing Pill, which was also a first-order pill, and his experience was much richer than Min Yue's at that time.

But even so.

His progress is by no means slow.

Su Yang stopped refining pills, put away the furnace and spiritual materials, and closed his eyes to reflect on the gains and losses of the two previous batches:

"It's much easier than refining the Skin Healing Pill. It seems my previous experience has been a great help. If I refine it more, I should be able to master the Qi Condensation Pill in no time."

After summarizing the experience.

Su Yang created five top-grade Green Wood Pills and began his cultivation for the day.

His cultivation was progressing steadily, and the spiritual energy in his dantian was becoming more abundant day by day.

It won't be long before I reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

During this period, Su Yang's days were extremely regular.

During the day, he worked in the spiritual fields; in the evening, he returned to his room to refine pills and cultivate; at night, he used the Spirit Nourishing Technique to polish his physical body and the Spirit Gathering Stone to temper his spirit.

Every day, my vital energy, spirit, and vitality are steadily increasing.

In the past two weeks.

The refining process of the Condensing Essence Pill was progressing faster than he had anticipated.

It took him about six days to refine his first pill, several days faster than the previous skin-healing pill.

This is due to his accumulated experience in alchemy, his detailed explanation of the pill formula, the superior quality of his alchemy furnace, and the fact that he observed Min Yue refining the Qi Condensation Pill.

"I can only say that having a deep foundation has its advantages. After all, experience is my foundation, the alchemy furnace is my foundation, and watching Min Yue refine pills is also my foundation."

Su Yang was very satisfied with his performance.

Today, half a month later.

His success rate in refining the Condensation Pill is already quite high.

Although I can't say I've completely mastered it, I can basically make one batch of pills in two batches, and occasionally I can even make two or three pills.

Emerald Peak was very peaceful.

Liu Mei's disappearance caused no ripples, as if it had sunk into the sea.

Several servants who were familiar with Liu Mei mentioned it at first.

Later, they discovered that the supervisors didn't really care about the disappearance of a handyman, and gradually stopped mentioning it.

Seeing this, Su Yang felt quite moved:

"Who would seriously investigate the disappearance of a menial disciple?"

"The reason why Ding Yue and Pang Yue died was so big was because they were in charge and happened to have discovered a spy from the Demonic Sect."

"Zhang Wan had a group of nine people before she attracted the attention of the higher-ups, but in the end, only an outer sect steward came to take a look."

"Liu Mei was just a menial cultivator who wasn't even at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Her death is no big deal. To others, she might have been killed casually by some inner sect immortal or master."

"This is the reality of the Qingyang Sect; menial disciples are not considered human."

As for the outer mountain peak where Wu Buyan is located...

Su Yang didn't deliberately inquire, but no one came to Cui Ling Peak to ask him anything.

He figured it would all just fizzle out.

Outer disciples naturally have a much higher status than servants, but they are not valued by the sect.

Without even a soul lamp, dying outside the sect would make it very difficult to find the murderer.

Unless that person is highly valued by the sect, even an investigation is often just a perfunctory effort.

Su Yang couldn't help but recall a saying that the old people in the mortal world often said: "When people leave, the tea grows cold."

In the realm of cultivation, it seems to be similar, or even more brutal.

No one would care if a cultivator with no strength or background disappeared silently.

That evening.

Su Yang had just finished his busy day and was preparing to go back to refine pills and cultivate.

Before he could even enter the door, Zhou Dazhu rushed over from a distance:

"Junior Brother Su!"

Seeing his urgency, Su Yang was somewhat surprised and wondered what had happened, so he went to meet him.

"What brings you here, Senior Brother Zhou?"

As Zhou Dazhu approached, Su Yang noticed that his face was flushed, and his eyes and brows were full of smiles, making him look completely different from his usual self.

Su Yang was taken aback, somewhat puzzled:

"Senior Brother Zhou, has something good happened? Why are you so happy?"

Zhou Dazhu grinned:

"Junior brother guessed right, I did indeed encounter something good."

He stared straight at Su Yang: "I'm leaving Emerald Peak!"

Su Yang was taken aback:

"Leave Emerald Peak? Where to?"

To be honest, Su Yang couldn't figure out why Zhou Dazhu wanted to leave Cuiling Peak.

The only way he knew was to demonstrate his powerful combat talent and become an outer disciple.

Zhou Dazhu had already tried, but failed.

Zhou Dazhu's eyes lit up: "To the inner sect!"

Su Yang was even more confused, so Zhou Dazhu began to explain:

"Junior brother, you may not know this, but the sect has recently issued a large number of alchemy tasks. The alchemists in the inner sect are too busy to handle them all, so we need to recruit more alchemy apprentices."

"Several inner sect main peaks sent people to the miscellaneous servant peak to select people today!"

"This time is different from the time with Aunt Min. They only want menial workers with a Qi Refining stage of mid-level or higher, and I was chosen!"
