In a dense forest.
A shifty figure appeared.
After confirming no one was around, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
She was now at the fourth layer of Qi Refining.
She was a great Cultivator of the Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase.
But she still needed to be careful.
Looking at her panel.
Divine Soul: 3
Physique: 10
Mana: 3
Creation Essence: 3
"The Immortal Realm is still the best; the Spiritual Qi is abundant, and I broke through in no time."
Staying in Great Wu, limited by the scarce Spiritual Qi, even if Su Bai wanted to Breakthrough, it would take her decades longer than here.
"Indeed, for Cultivating Immortality, wealth, companions, techniques, and land are all indispensable."
"Alright, now to go back and see if the chaos at Purple Bamboo Immortal Market has ended."
"I just don't know if the Lin Family will still be willing to continue cooperating with me and let me be a Spiritual Farmer after I've been on the run for two years."
Although she thought a lot.
Su Bai still flew towards the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
No matter what.
Even if the second-order Spiritual Vein was occupied.
Staying in Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, she could still enjoy a first-order Spiritual Vein.
It could speed up her Cultivation quite a bit.
Although Su Bai had become a Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator, she still chose to walk back instead of flying with a Magical Artifact.
And she walked slowly.
Observing her surroundings from time to time.
If something was wrong, she would immediately slip away.
By the time she returned to Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, half a day had passed.
Seeing no mana fluctuations from Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
The mountain protection array was also not activated.
Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed the fighting was truly over.
"Phew, it's good that the fighting is over, it's good."
Seeing the danger pass, Su Bai's Face showed a joyful expression.
And the first thing she did upon returning.
Was to pay respects to the new power.
After all, when they started fighting, she had run away for her safety.
Now that she was back.
And still wanted to work for the Lin Family, she had to curry favor.
...
Lin Steward sized Su Bai up and down.
Looking at the silly, joyful young girl in front of him, he felt quite disdainful.
However, when the Zi Yun Secret Realm opened, many Loose Cultivators died.
And many also ran away.
Few returned.
Unexpectedly, Su Bai went out and actually became a Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator like himself.
And...
Lin Steward weighed the medicine box in his hand.
Inside was a thirty-year-old Seven Star Grass.
This was the one Su Bai bought at the Loose Cultivator market, and later cultivated with Creation Essence.
Not only did it heal the damaged roots, but it also added ten years to its age.
This was a valuable gift.
"Alright, that Spiritual Field hasn't been assigned yet, you can go back and work on it."
Since he accepted the gift, he naturally had to do something.
Lin Steward reassigned the plot of land Su Bai had cultivated to her.
Then he sent Su Bai away.
"Thank you, Lin Steward. When I have accumulated enough, I will pay my respects again."
Speaking polite words, Su Bai left the Lin Family's residence.
After coming out.
She was in a great mood.
She could start farming again.
However, the suitable time for cultivation had already passed.
If she replanted now, there would certainly be a reduction in yield next year.
But she could only plant it.
This was, after all, Su Bai's only proper profession now.
And after becoming a Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator, Su Bai could handle Spiritual Rice more easily.
She didn't have to pretend to be tired every day.
After all, a Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator has more than double the spiritual power of a Qi Refining Cultivator.
And spellcasting speed would also be much more proficient.
This gave Su Bai more free time than usual.
As for this free time.
Su Bai used it to wander around Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
"I am now a Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator, I should develop my circle of friends."
"On the path of Cultivation, mutual discussion of the Dao and exchange of ideas are indispensable."
To learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and gain some experience in Cultivation.
This is what Su Bai needed now.
So, every day after finishing her farm work, she would go to the teahouse and sit for a while.
"Fellow Daoist, what set meal would you like today?"
"The usual, a pot of Tranquil Heart Tea, and a serving of Spiritual Rice and Spiritual Vegetables."
"Alright, please sit tight and wait."
Under the waiter's greeting.
Su Bai sat down, and after the food was served, she leisurely drank tea.
And listened to the news around her.
"Do you still remember the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor's great battle two years ago?"
"Nonsense, I was so scared I wet my pants then, of course I remember."
"That Zhou Changzai was actually an abandoned child of the Zhou Family, and later, Chiyun Sect, one of the Six Upper Sects, came forward to mediate."
"No wonder, several new shops have opened in this market."
"Heh heh, no matter how overbearing the three Foundation Establishment Families are, they have to give Face when a Sect comes forward; they directly gave a lot of benefits to that Zhou Changzai."
...
Su Bai finished her meal.
And listened to the gossip with great relish.
She didn't expect so many things to have happened in the two years she was away.
She nodded as she listened.
After settling the bill, Su Bai left the teahouse.
Next, she went to the Loose Cultivator market.
She also wanted to find some bargains.
Because the Zi Yun Secret Realm had just closed.
There were many good things in the market at this time.
As long as you had enough discernment, you could buy them at a low price.
Clearly.
Su Bai herself did not have such luck.
"Why is there no bargain for me to pick up, sigh!"
Slowly wandering from the Loose Cultivator market to a more formal place.
Looking up.
Su Bai found herself at Weicao Hall.
She used to be a big customer here!
Although she had only patronized it twice.
She touched her Storage Pouch.
Thought for a moment.
She walked away, and after a while, a tall figure wearing a black veil hat returned.
As soon as she entered Weicao Hall.
A maid warmly greeted her.
"Fellow Daoist, are you buying Medicinal Pills or Spirit Medicine?"
"Do you purchase Medicinal Pills here? I'd like to cooperate with you."
"Fellow Daoist, we do have a purchasing service, but it still needs to be appraised by the Shopkeeper."
"Hmm, that's good."
The maid led Su Bai to a private room on the second floor and served a pot of good tea.
Su Bai didn't touch the tea.
Until the Shopkeeper came up.
"Mr. Zhou, please bear with us."
The Shopkeeper of Weicao Hall was plump and inconspicuous, but he was also a Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator.
For him to be so respectful.
Either his cultivation was high, or he had unique skills.
This Mr. Zhou should be from the Zhou Family, one of the three Foundation Establishment Families in the market.
Mr. Zhou looked middle-aged, but Cultivators cannot be judged by their appearance.
Moreover, this person was a Qi Refining Seventh Layer Cultivator!
He was a great Cultivator.
Upon realizing this, Su Bai tried not to look at Mr. Zhou.
After the Shopkeeper had arranged everything.
Mr. Zhou spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, what Medicinal Pills do you want to sell?"
Su Bai didn't speak but took out a small porcelain bottle.
Mr. Zhou opened the bottle and poured the Medicinal Pill into his hand.
Looking at the dark red Medicinal Pill in his palm.
A flash of spiritual light flickered in his eyes.
Clearly, he had used a type of Spiritual Eye technique.
"The main ingredient is Yao Beast blood, is the effect to enhance Qi and blood? Then it's a Body Cultivator Medicinal Pill."
"However, the Medicinal Pill's grade is not high, it's a first-order Low Grade Medicinal Pill, but the quality is High Grade, not bad."
With just one glance, Mr. Zhou understood the function and grade of the Monster Beast Pill.
Then he placed the Monster Beast Pill on the table.
He said unhurriedly:
"Weicao Hall will accept this Medicinal Pill. May I ask how much Fellow Daoist can provide?"
