After emptying Yan Xi's Storage Pouch, Su Bai immediately discarded it.
She would never use a Storage Pouch from an evil Cultivator.
Of course, some Medicinal Pills were also thrown away.
Although most of them were Foundation Establishment Medicinal Pills, it was a bit painful to discard them.
But Su Bai didn't know their effects and couldn't just consume them blindly.
"And these two Spiritual Artifacts clearly exuding an ominous aura."
One was a slightly damaged Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Hundred Soul Banner.
The Artifact Refining Materials in the Storage Pouch were clearly collected to repair it.
The other was a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, a single-use Spiritual Artifact called the Resentful Soul Nail, with two remaining.
Although it was a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, because it was single-use, its power even surpassed that of the Hundred Soul Banner.
Both of these items were not to be seen in the light.
They could not be used easily.
Besides these Spiritual Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques clearly used by evil Cultivators, there were naturally other gains.
"Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription, an auxiliary Cultivation Technique.
After Cultivating it, one can increase their spiritual power reserves, with a total of three layers."
"After the Cultivation Technique is mastered, one's spiritual power will be 30% greater than that of Cultivators of the same stage!"
"Moreover, during daily Cultivation, a portion of spiritual power can be stored and used for healing when injured."
"So that's it, this is why Yan Xi, despite being severely injured, could still retain his Cultivation and combat strength."
Besides this, there was also another Cultivation Technique, but after Su Bai read it, she decided to put it aside for a while.
Because this Cultivation Technique might be related to her subsequent Foundation Establishment!
After clearing out all the items, Su Bai's net worth suddenly became abundant!
Her current resources were enough to rival some small Families.
However, breaking the Restrictions also exhausted her greatly.
She needed to rest well.
So Su Bai lay down and slept.
She slept for a full two days before waking up.
After her spirit and energy had fully recovered, Su Bai carefully took out the Jade Slip she had been looking at before sleeping.
"Sword Intent Expansion Qi Art."
According to this Cultivation Technique, after Cultivating it, one could Cultivate an Acquired Spiritual Body.
In the Dao of Cultivation, regarding Aptitude, it's not just about Spiritual Roots.
There are also various Spiritual Bodies, such as Fire Spiritual Body, Water Spiritual Body, Sword Dao Body, Pill Nurturing Body, Talisman Treasure Body, and so on.
Anyone with such a Physique represents outstanding Aptitude in a certain aspect.
Even if one's Spiritual Root is poor, as long as they possess a Fire Spiritual Body, their Cultivation speed for Fire-elemental Cultivation Techniques will not be weaker than that of a Cultivator with a High Grade Fire-elemental Spiritual Root.
Pill Nurturing Body and similar Physiques also indicate talent in Alchemy.
And on the Jade Slip in Su Bai's hand at this moment, there was a method called the Sword Nurturing Art.
Besides being able to forge Spiritual Swords, it also mentioned that it could Cultivate an Acquired Spiritual Body, specifically the Sword Dao Body!
If she had a Spiritual Body, her Cultivation speed, which was previously dragged down by her Spiritual Root, would soar!
It would even be like adding wings to a tiger for her comprehension of the Sword Dao!
If Su Bai didn't take Medicinal Pills, she could barely feel any improvement in her Cultivation after her Cultivation Technique finished circulating.
Even after taking Huanglong Pill, she could only perceive a slight increase in the spiritual power within her body after each Cultivation session.
Without the help of Medicinal Pills, it would take Su Bai at least thirty years, not ten, to Cultivate from Qi Refining Stage - Fourth Layer to Sixth Layer!
So this Cultivation Technique was very appealing to Su Bai.
"For Cultivation, at least a Magic Treasure-level Spiritual Sword is required!"
Upon seeing this Restriction, Su Bai nearly spat blood!
Even the Qingzhu Sword Sect's cultivated third-order spiritual wood, Qingyun Thunder Bamboo, could only be refined into a Magic Treasure embryo!
Where was she going to get a Magic Treasure Spiritual Sword?!
"It's over, I feel like my Cultivation path is pitch black."
"Sigh, never mind, never mind, at worst, I'll just grind it out with time."
"Anyway, I have a long life, so I have the most time."
"This Cultivation Technique, there will be a day when I can Cultivate it…"
Knowing that she couldn't Cultivate it now, Su Bai could only put the Jade Slip away.
Now it was time to return to Purple Bamboo Immortal Market to check on things.
She didn't know if the battle there had ended.
Foundation Establishment Cultivators have profound magical power.
A typical fight lasts for a very long time.
But it had been over a month, even the most enduring person should have finished by now.
Thinking this, Su Bai left the cave where she had hidden for over a month.
When she returned to Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, the battle had indeed ended.
However, looking from afar, there were still several places destroyed by the Foundation Establishment Cultivators' battle.
Su Bai descended from her Flying Sword.
After entering the market, she felt that aside from a few battle scars, it was as if no fight had occurred.
Perhaps those Foundation Establishment Cultivators understood that this market was their foundation.
Thus, they tried to keep the battle in the sky, not affecting the market below.
As soon as Su Bai entered the market, she heard a familiar voice.
"Fellow Daoist Su, over here, over here!"
Su Bai looked in the direction of the voice.
It was Yang the Old Daoist.
This old man was a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase, so he was naturally more composed than Su Bai when facing a battle between Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
When the Foundation Establishment Cultivators started fighting, Su Bai had immediately slipped away.
She hadn't even had time to greet her friends she usually got along with.
Now, Yang the Old Daoist saw Su Bai.
A faint smile appeared on his face, which had white hair but a youthful complexion.
Only when Su Bai walked over did he let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew~ It's good that you're alright. I thought you might have been affected when the Foundation Establishment Cultivators started fighting earlier."
Hearing Yang the Old Daoist's words, Su Bai awkwardly touched her nose.
"I saw the situation wasn't good, so I hid first. Now that it's safe, I naturally came back."
"Haha, your vigilance is good. We Loose Cultivators must be so quick-witted to live long."
Yang the Old Daoist stood there, actually doing his old business: making friends and selling information.
The two of them casually chatted.
Su Bai learned about the situation in Purple Bamboo Immortal Market after the Foundation Establishment Cultivators started fighting.
When they stopped, how they stopped, and the current situation in the market.
She also learned that not long after Su Bai left, facing the siege of two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Zhou Changzai, worried about delays and further interference from others, used a Talisman Treasure.
Hearing this, Su Bai couldn't help but shake her head.
"A Talisman Treasure, that thing must be very powerful, right?"
Yang the Old Daoist also looked shocked, clearly the power of that Talisman Treasure had left a deep impression on him.
He couldn't help but nod and say: "Yes, a Talisman Treasure has 30% of the power of the original Magic Treasure. That Talisman Treasure seems to have been obtained by Zhou Changzai in a certain Secret Realm."
"Once the Talisman Treasure appeared, the outcome of the battle was sealed."
Indeed, in a Foundation Establishment Stage battle, how could those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Elementary Stage resist such a treasure as a Talisman Treasure?
They were dealt with on the spot.
The Zhou Family and Lin Family lost their Old Ancestors and were completely finished.
The Meng Family Old Ancestor, seeing the unfavorable situation, surrendered directly.
He not only offered a large amount of Family resources with both hands but also allowed Zhou Changzai to allocate the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market below.
Such an attitude allowed him to save his life, preventing the Meng Family from perishing.
As for the other two Families, Zhou Changzai also had subordinates, so naturally, they were devoured until nothing was left.
After everything stabilized, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Chiyun Sect slowly arrived.
By the time the Cultivators from the Upper Sect arrived, everything was already settled.
Moreover, this incident was an internal Family struggle, and there were no evil Cultivators involved.
Zhou Changzai promised that he would not reduce the amount of resources the Lin Family and Zhou Family had previously supplied to the Chiyun Sect.
He pleased the people from the Upper Sect, who returned to their Sect happily to report.
Since the Sect's interests were not diminished, they allowed the people below to squabble, which was also considered maintaining competitive vitality.
