After the Zi Yun Secret Realm, the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market indeed became much livelier.
Mr. Zhou's death was not thoroughly investigated by the Zhou Family.
Due to the Secret Realm, too many Loose Cultivators were attracted at that time.
Of course, there were also many robber cultivators.
The Zhou Family could simply attribute Mr. Zhou's death to his own bad luck and disregard it.
This was because the Zhou Family was preparing for the upcoming auction.
The Purple Bamboo Immortal Market was unprecedentedly prosperous at this time.
If these Loose Cultivators were not actively utilized, they would soon disperse.
To further develop the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, the three Foundation Establishment Family united to jointly host an auction.
Of course, this auction had nothing to do with Su Bai at the moment.
She was holed up in her small room, inventorying the belongings Mr. Zhou left her.
Upon opening the Storage Pouch, a pile of Low-Grade Spirit Stone immediately caught her eye.
"Wow! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Su Bai's eyes instantly straightened as she looked at the Spirit Stone.
"One hundred… two hundred… five hundred!"
"Good heavens, there are actually five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone! His net worth is quite impressive."
Just the Spirit Stone alone had brought Su Bai a considerable surprise.
She joyfully looked at the other items.
First was the long spear Magical Artifact he had used to attack her earlier.
Upon holding the Magical Artifact, she recognized it.
"Medium Grade Magical Artifact, Black Water Spear."
"Medium Grade auxiliary Magical Artifact, Qing Yuan Mirror. It not only defends but also comes with Divine Sense attack."
"So that's it. My momentary daze at the time was caused by it."
Recalling the situation when she attacked Mr. Zhou, that brief moment of daze still sent shivers down Su Bai's spine.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhou's first thought at that time was to distance himself from Su Bai.
If he had attacked immediately, her Body Refining Stage - Mid Phase Realm at the time might not have been able to withstand the Black Water Spear.
Alas, opportunities are fleeting.
A Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator using one offensive Magical Artifact and one defensive Magical Artifact was already nearing their limit.
Their spiritual power could not sustain such a large consumption.
In Su Bai's opinion, the most valuable item among them was the small green boat.
A Flying Magical Artifact!
Qi Refining Cultivators cannot fly on their own; they mostly rely on Magical Artifacts.
This Green Bamboo Boat was a specialized Flying Magical Artifact, much faster than ordinary Flying Sword.
Mr. Zhou being able to control three Magical Artifacts was considered an outstanding individual among Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivators.
After examining these items, Su Bai's gaze fell on the last two items: a pile of small porcelain bottles and a few Jade Slip.
The porcelain bottles contained Medicinal Pill used by Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivators.
"It's Huanglong Pill!"
"This Medicinal Pill is truly precious; it works for Cultivators below Qi Refining Peak!"
"No wonder he worked at Weicao Hall. These Medicinal Pill alone are worth as much as those five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone."
Su Bai carefully put away the Huanglong Pill.
Her future Cultivation would depend on it!
As for the remaining Jade Slip, Su Bai took a look.
"They are Cultivation Technique…"
However, Su Bai had no intention of Cultivating them.
Among these Cultivation Technique, some were common, while others belonged to the Zhou Family.
Although the Zhou Family's Cultivation Technique might not be unique in this Immortal Realm, this was, after all, the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
It was best not to touch them.
There was, however, an auxiliary Cultivation Technique Su Bai could Cultivate, called Spirit Eye Technique.
It was the same Cultivation Technique Mr. Zhou used to appraise the Monster Beast Pill earlier.
The Spirit Eye Technique could help Cultivators perceive Qi and scent.
Even some Cultivators who practiced Qi Concealment Technique could be partially seen through.
Seeing the effect of the Spirit Eye Technique, Su Bai secretly sighed with emotion.
Fortunately, when she sold the Monster Beast Pill, she not only used the Qi Concealment Technique but also obscured her appearance.
She even used martial arts Qi and blood to change her physique, preventing Mr. Zhou from seeing her true identity.
Otherwise, Mr. Zhou would not have become a robber cultivators but would have directly come to her spiritual field to find her.
"This is indeed a good Cultivation Technique."
"In the future, I can more clearly understand my opponent's Cultivation, instead of just guessing based on their aura."
As for the other Cultivation Technique, she would destroy them all!
Then, Su Bai looked at the three remaining Magical Artifacts with some hesitation.
After a moment of deliberation, she decided to keep them.
Even if she didn't use them in the future, she could sell them for Spirit Stone.
At worst, she could just go to another market to sell them.
After this disturbance, Su Bai became even more cautious when going out.
The most bustling event in the Immortal Market during this period was the auction held by the three Foundation Establishment Family.
It was rumored that not only were High Grade Magical Artifacts for sale, but also Spirit Medicine for Foundation Establishment Pill!
As soon as this news came out, the market became much livelier.
High Grade Magical Artifacts could even be used up to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As for the Spirit Medicine for Foundation Establishment Pill, that was a priceless treasure in the eyes of many Cultivators stuck at Qi Refining Peak.
Although there were also Geniuses who could Breakthrough without needing a Foundation Establishment Pill, that required at least an Earthly Spiritual Root Aptitude, and your Cultivation Technique couldn't be poor.
Such Geniuses naturally wouldn't consider it.
Besides helping Qi Refining Cultivators Breakthrough their Realm, the Foundation Establishment Pill had another purpose: if the Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment failed, it could still save one's life and preserve most of their Foundation from damage.
This prevented them from even having their Realm drop if they failed to Breakthrough.
Those with bad luck could even die from it.
Therefore, for Qi Refining Cultivators with poor Aptitude who still wished to Breakthrough, they greatly yearned for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Unfortunately, the main Materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill have always been firmly controlled by the Six Upper Sects, rarely flowing out.
And these three Foundation Establishment Family clearly made a huge sacrifice for the future of the market.
It was unknown where they obtained the Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine.
Unfortunately, this had nothing to do with Su Bai.
She had no intention of joining the excitement.
Due to the robber cultivators incident, Su Bai was very sensitive to the Loose Cultivators in the market at this time.
She didn't see anyone as good people.
With the appearance of Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine at this auction, many Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase and Qi Refining Peak Cultivators would rush over.
What if she bought something at the auction and offended someone?
She was a Loose Cultivator!
She had no backing!
Besides, her net worth was only one thousand five hundred Spirit Stone. Why join the excitement at the auction?
Buying a High Grade Magical Artifact or some Medicinal Pill would spend it all.
It was better to be practical.
Just casually buy things at the Loose Cultivator market.
So, while the market was bustling with the auction, Su Bai was happily browsing the Loose Cultivator market, cheerfully bargaining with different Loose Cultivators.
"Uncle! This first-tier spiritual wood is cheaper, twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stone!"
"Do you think this is a vegetable market! Sixty Spirit Stone! I won't sell for less!"
"…"
"Elder! This is refined iron, right? It's quite heavy! About five catties, how about fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stone?"
"I'm not senile; at least one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone!"
"…"
Just like that, she casually looked around.
If Su Bai liked something, she would bargain for it, but she just wouldn't buy it, giving off a very frugal impression.
After browsing the Loose Cultivator market, Su Bai went to the Magical Artifact Pavilion.
She planned to buy a Pill Furnace.
Although the iron pot she had an ironsmith make before could also be used for Alchemy, the quality of the produced Medicinal Pill was indeed poor.
To refine good Medicinal Pill, a good furnace was essential.
And it was also a good opportunity to buy a legitimate Artifact Refining Legacy.
In the future, if a Magical Artifact broke, she could repair it herself, without worrying about waste.
