As soon as Xu Changge finished speaking, Wang Ming sighed.
"Changge, my niece, your Master Hongyun and I have known each other for a hundred years, and we have a good relationship."
"In this Xingluo Market, I won't let you suffer any losses."
"But the Sect isn't something one can just enter. After all, even you had to put in so much effort, and finally becoming an Outer Gate Deacon is already quite remarkable."
"In the Cultivation world, strength speaks for itself. If you were at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment or even Jindan Stage now, your words would carry much more weight."
"This young friend you recommended is indeed good; being able to refine Danwen Jueling Pill shows talent."
"But she is only at the Elementary Foundation Establishment."
"Our Green Bamboo Sword Sect has hundreds of affiliated Families."
"After Junior Sister Hongyun entered the Inner Gate, countless people have been eyeing that position."
"Even in the Outer Gate, there are dozens of your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and counting Family disciples, there are hundreds of people."
"..."
It wasn't that he was unwilling, but that the Sect wasn't something a Core Formation True Person like him could control with a word.
Moreover, he was only at the Core Formation Early Stage.
If he were at the Core Formation Middle Stage, he could indeed make decisions about adding one more person to the Outer Gate.
Of course, if Wang Ming truly reached the Core Formation Middle Stage, he wouldn't be in this Xingluo Market.
Wouldn't Cultivating in the Green Bamboo Sword Sect be better?
After all, the third-tier Spiritual Vein on Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak was newly created.
The Spiritual Qi couldn't be absorbed at will; it would need at least a hundred years to fully stabilize the Spiritual Vein.
While he was here, besides Cultivating every day, he couldn't even use some powerful Spells.
Every once in a while, he also needed to go to the Spiritual Vein to check if there were any issues with the Formation that originally secured the Spiritual Veins.
Then he would put in some Spirit Stones to accelerate the Spiritual Vein's stabilization.
This was also a tough job.
Coming out of the main hall, Xu Changge's face showed some unwillingness, but also helplessness.
The Core Formation True Person had already made it very clear to her.
It was only because Wang Ming had a good relationship with Xu Changge's Master Hongyun.
For ordinary people, Wang Ming wouldn't even bother to explain.
"Sister Xu, don't be so disheartened. Senior Wang Ming made it very clear: as long as one's strength is sufficient, one can still enter the Green Bamboo Sword Sect."
"At worst, I'll try again when I reach Late-Stage Foundation Establishment."
Xu Changge opened her mouth.
By the time Su Bai reached Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, it would be better for her to officially become a Deacon first and pave the way for the future.
"That's right, at least it's not hopeless."
In that case, Sect resources couldn't be relied upon in the short term.
After being clearly rejected, Su Bai couldn't get in.
But Xu Changge still had hope.
So Xu Changge planned to Breakthrough to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment first.
The two parted ways at Xingluo Mountain.
Xu Changge went into seclusion.
However, Su Bai did not return to Danfu Pavilion either.
She flew out of Xingluo Market, heading straight for Ebony Island.
Xu Changge planned to Breakthrough to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.
Why wouldn't Su Bai?
Of course, Su Bai didn't plan to Breakthrough her own Realm.
What she wanted to Breakthrough was her Body Cultivator Realm!
After years of accumulation, Su Bai's Body Refining had reached its limit and could Breakthrough to the second stage Late Stage!
"I didn't expect my Body Refining talent to be superior to my Spell Cultivator talent!"
A glint flashed in Su Bai's eyes.
She had only acquired this Body Refining Cultivation Technique thinking she might obtain some lightning-element Spiritual items in the future and slowly Cultivate.
She never expected it to become her strongest trump card now.
Once her Body Refining Breakthrough to the second stage Late Stage, Su Bai would be completely worry-free within Xingluo Market.
Even facing a Core Formation Cultivator, she was confident she could escape.
It wasn't that she hadn't considered fighting, but the difference between them was too great.
When Su Bai saw a Core Formation Cultivator use grand Divine Abilities to move mountains and fill Spiritual Veins, she understood that Foundation Establishment and Core Formation were completely different Realms.
Such methods completely extinguished any thought of resistance.
Moreover, Core Formation Cultivators also had Lifebound Treasures.
Without the Body Cultivator Awakening Bloodline Divine Abilities, fighting a Core Formation Cultivator would only lead to death.
Lifebound Treasures were simply too powerful.
...
Two months later, Su Bai walked out of the Sea Corner Cliff Daoist temple.
At this moment, her eyes contained a hidden electric light.
Fine strands of lightning snakes flickered on her body.
With every breath, her entire being stirred the surrounding Spiritual Qi, as if she were the Incarnation of thunder.
But in a short while, the lightning and power on her body vanished.
She returned to her harmless appearance.
"Body Refining second stage Late Stage!"
Only one last step remained until the Jindan Stage Body Cultivator!
Thinking of this, Su Bai couldn't help but grin.
"Xiao Qing, come here!"
Su Bai called out to the medicinal garden.
With a whoosh, Xiao Qing's figure appeared before Su Bai.
"You fat snake! How many Spirit Medicines did you ruin while I was in secluded Breakthrough?"
Facing Xiao Qing's desire to affectionately rub against her, Su Bai extended her hand and flicked its head.
Despite Su Bai not using much force, Xiao Qing cried tears of pain from the hit, looking utterly pitiful.
As Xiao Qing's cultivation improved, its intelligence increased, becoming more and more human-like.
Ignoring Xiao Qing's attempts to gain sympathy, the fellow had been cooped up in the Spirit Beast Bag in Xingluo Market due to its size.
Now that it was finally released back on Ebony Island, it had gone wild.
It had even eaten many second-tier Spirit Medicines while Su Bai was in secluded Breakthrough.
Although Su Bai didn't care about these Spirit Medicines, she could Cultivate such things anytime she wanted.
But Su Bai wanted to teach Xiao Qing manners.
She was the Master.
Without her command, it couldn't touch these things.
Only when she said it could eat, could Xiao Qing eat.
"These are all my wealth, including you."
"So you must listen to me, understand?"
"Otherwise, I'll stew you and drink snake soup!"
"Hiss~"
Xiao Qing half-understood, but Su Bai's threat was very clear.
Even if it was foolish, it could see Su Bai's fierce expression at the moment.
So it nodded and wagged its tail, like a dog.
Seeing Xiao Qing like this, Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed her Beast Taming Dao also had quite some talent.
However, it wasn't good for Xiao Qing to always live in the Spirit Beast Bag.
She would look into other Beast Control methods later to see if there was a solution.
"Xiao Qing, back to the Spirit Beast Bag, we're leaving."
"Hiss!"
Hearing Su Bai's command, Xiao Qing curled its body and transformed into a streak of light, flying into the Spirit Beast Bag at Su Bai's waist.
Seeing this, Su Bai glanced around again.
She went to the medicinal field, which had been considerably damaged by Xiao Qing.
After uprooting some Spirit Medicines and adding some Creation Essence, she finally used a Flying Sword to leave Sea Corner Cliff.
At this time, the grand event held by the Six Major Sects in Xingluo Market was also nearing its end.
But they immediately announced that they were preparing for an auction.
The Six Major Sects would even bring out some third-tier treasures they had prepared.
This caused the Xingluo Market to thoroughly erupt.
Third-tier treasures, perhaps even Magic Treasures, would be sold.
This news would attract even some Core Formation Immortal Masters.
