After agreeing on the time for their next meeting, the four parted ways.
After all, they each had their own matters to attend to.
Although Lu Ning and Shen Fang's trip to the mountain range was short, they still had gains.
They needed to process and sell the spoils from the mountain.
The identity Su Bai presented to the outside world was, after all, only a Medium Grade Alchemist.
It was impossible for her to consume many Materials.
Therefore, they needed to find other buyers.
Yang the Old Daoist was usually well-connected.
Because he was in the Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase, he was often recruited by various small organizations.
He was also very busy.
In addition to her daily Cultivate, Su Bai also needed to prepare Medicinal Pill for sale.
Upon hearing the news about the evil Cultivator.
"I need to prepare more Talisman..."
Unfortunately, Su Bai's Talisman Legacy was only Low Grade.
She could only craft the lowest-level Spirit Movement Talisman and the like.
"I heard that High Grade Talisman Legacy appeared in the previous auctions, and it was snatched up immediately upon appearing, eventually selling for over three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Over these past few years, I have only managed to obtain a Medium Grade Alchemist Legacy at the Loose Cultivator market."
After all, these things could enhance a Family's foundation.
Rarely would anyone sell them cheaply.
"If I were to research new Talisman myself, the consumption of Materials would be too high. A Cultivator in the Middle Stage of Qi Refining could not afford it."
Even as a Medium Grade Alchemist, it was only because Su Bai had Creation Essence, which could increase the age of Spirit Medicine.
She saved money by buying seeds instead of expensive Spirit Medicine.
She practiced constantly, and that's how she succeeded.
Generally, where would a Loose Cultivator find a Medium Grade Alchemist?
They were all fed by the constant use of Spirit Medicine by Families or Sects.
Yang the Old Daoist was also willing to befriend Su Bai because of this identity.
He felt that since Su Bai could become a Medium Grade Alchemist as a mere Loose Cultivator, she must have talent in Alchemy.
Perhaps in the future, if she became a High Grade Alchemist, she could become a retainer for a Family.
If Su Bai had the status of a High Grade Alchemist now.
"I reckon I would be directly kidnapped and locked up by the three major Foundation Establishment Families, forced to refine Medicinal Pill for them day and night."
Thinking of that scene, Su Bai shook her head.
The identity you display must match your cultivation base.
If your cultivation base is insufficient but your talent is too high, it is easy to attract covetous eyes.
Su Bai did not have that kind of composure.
"If I really cannot avoid it, I will go directly to Great Wu and return after the evil Cultivator leaves."
"I do not believe the evil Cultivator will stay in this place forever."
"The superior Sect is not a pushover; they cannot allow an evil Cultivator to wander around in their jurisdiction."
What she needed to do now was to work hard to Cultivate.
Only by reaching Foundation Establishment would she have the capital to stand firm in the Immortal Realm.
With Huanglong Pill, Su Bai was confident she could reach the sixth level of Qi Refining in five years.
In the Immortal Realm, Cultivators believe that reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty gives one the potential for Foundation Establishment.
Su Bai felt that even with the help of Medicinal Pill, it would be very difficult to meet this condition.
However, the reason Cultivators believed this was because breaking through to Foundation Establishment required satisfying three points.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
The Divine Sense barrier.
The Qi and blood barrier.
The magic power barrier.
As long as these were met, even if one did not reach the Peak of Qi Refining, one could attempt a Breakthrough at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Of course, for those who were not Geniuses with an Earthly Spiritual Root or higher, this was not recommended.
A failed Breakthrough carried the risk of death.
These three points were very simple for Su Bai.
Her time was not urgent.
She would not be chased by lifespan.
"The only thing that can threaten me now is that evil Cultivator."
"I hope the Patrol Team and Formation of Purple Bamboo Immortal Market will be of some use."
...
Soon, the day agreed upon with Yang the Old Daoist arrived.
Today, Su Bai was going to meet the mysterious Cultivator mentioned by Yang the Old Daoist.
For this guest, Yang the Old Daoist had booked a private room in advance.
After Su Bai arrived, she found that the couple Lu Ning and Shen Fang were already seated.
The three nodded to each other as a greeting, waiting for the guest together.
Yang the Old Daoist did not keep them waiting long.
Shortly after Su Bai sat down, he brought the guest in.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please, this way."
Yang the Old Daoist's voice came from outside.
The door was pushed open, and the first thing that came into view was a touch of pale cyan.
Exquisite embroidered shoes, white silk stockings, and a flowing long skirt.
Her elegant temperament immediately drew everyone's gaze to her.
Beautiful!
After Xu Changge entered the private room, she scanned the room first.
Her gaze swept over Lu Ning and Shen Fang.
It paused briefly on Su Bai.
Lu Ning already had a Dao Companion, so he did not dare to look at Xu Changge too much.
Shen Fang also paled in comparison to Xu Changge.
Su Bai was also very calm.
After female Cultivators cultivated, with the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, their appearances were generally not bad.
After Xu Changge entered, Yang the Old Daoist entered the room and closed the door.
He introduced with a smile:
"This is Xu Changge, Fellow Daoist Xu."
"Fellow Daoist Xu, these are the fellow Cultivators I mentioned to you."
"Lu Ning and Shen Fang, they are Dao Companions."
Lu Ning and Shen Fang nodded at Xu Changge.
Xu Changge responded slightly.
Yang the Old Daoist continued:
"Su Bai, Fellow Daoist Su, an Alchemist."
Under Yang the Old Daoist's introduction, they did not seem like strangers.
They quickly started chatting.
As the gathering was coming to an end, Xu Changge looked at Su Bai.
"Fellow Daoist Su, we can interact more in the future. I also hold the identity of a High Grade Formation Master."
"Oh! Then we can exchange ideas. I am also somewhat interested in the Dao of Formation."
"Hehe, not at all. In the future, it is Fellow Daoist Su's Alchemy that I will need to befriend."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they left one after another.
This meeting was just for everyone to introduce their identities to each other and get to know one another.
Future exchanges would lead to cooperation.
"Yang the Old Daoist did not brag."
"This Fellow Daoist Xu will be very helpful to me now."
A Formation Master!
If a Formation is deployed, it can naturally exert various wonderful effects.
But after all, it is an inanimate object.
If operated by a Formation Master, its power can be increased by at least thirty percent.
Moreover, a Formation Master holds a truly strategic position.
Once a war between Cultivator Families or Sects breaks out, the first to act is the Formation Master.
Whether it is defense or offense, Formation Masters are very busy.
They must find the flaws in the Formation or patch the loopholes.
After a war, the ability of a Formation Master concerns the life and death of a Family.
Besides being used in war, individual combat strength of a Formation Master is not weak either.
After all, there is a portable Formation compass.
One can quickly deploy a Formation to kill enemies.
When going out to look for Opportunity, a Formation Master is also a very good partner.
Some Restrictions in Secret Realms require a Formation Master to break them first before one can enter safely.
"I want to buy a set of Formation compass from Fellow Daoist Xu!"
Su Bai had made up her mind.
She had already prepared plenty of Medicinal Pill for healing and restoring magic power.
She had also drawn several stacks of various low-level Talisman.
This Formation Master friend was just what she needed.
If she prepared a Formation compass herself, she would truly be armed to the teeth!
Su Bai was confident that even if a real Foundation Establishment Stage Old Ancestor came, they would not be able to keep her!
After all, it was better not to expose the matter of her Transmigration if possible.
