After leaving the Heavenly Immortal Building, Su Bai's Face was filled with a satisfied smile.
Fellow Daoist Xu Changge was truly her blessing.
Not only could she obtain a Spiritual Vein, but the Qingyun Thunder Bamboo of the Qingzhu Sword Sect was actually for sale to outsiders.
However, ordinary Loose Cultivators usually couldn't acquire such treasures.
But Xu Changge said she could help her get in touch.
Xu Changge naturally understood why Su Bai asked her that.
After all, when Su Bai bought that Body Refining cultivation technique at the auction, she was sitting right there.
It seemed Su Bai wanted to try Cultivating that Body Refining cultivation technique.
Regarding this, Xu Changge could only offer a few words of advice.
"Although that 'Heavenly Calamity Illusionary Thunder Body Tempering Method' is a Core Formation Body Refining cultivation technique, its Cultivation conditions are harsh, and few Body Refining Cultivators can balance it with their cultivation base. I hope Fellow Daoist Su grasps the proper measure."
In the eyes of ordinary Cultivators, Body Refining was a waste of time.
After all, with the same resources invested, Qi Refining cultivation would definitely be higher.
Moreover, Body Refining methods were too few.
Only after Core Formation could one have Physical Body Divine Abilities to protect their Dao.
Su Bai only said she would consider it, merely to add some life-saving methods.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
The five of them agreed to meet outside the Purple Bamboo Immortal Market.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xu Changge released her Flying Magical Artifact, a handkerchief embroidered with a peony pattern.
The few of them stood on the handkerchief.
Propelled by Xu Changge, it flew towards the Star Luo Archipelago.
No one spoke along the way.
They were all meditating and adjusting their breathing.
Because they knew that once they arrived, there would definitely be a battle, and they needed to maintain good condition.
The Flying Magical Artifact was also flown by people taking turns.
After flying for a full three months like this, the five of them finally saw a coastline in the distance.
This was only approaching the edge of the Star Luo Archipelago.
"Everyone, we're almost there, probably two more days."
"Let's wait here for a moment."
"The people from the Qingzhu Sword Sect will arrive soon, and then we'll depart together."
Xu Changge stopped the Flying Magical Artifact and explained the reason.
No one objected.
Su Bai looked at Xu Changge's back.
She felt that this woman always exuded an air of confidence.
Su Bai even felt that even if Xu Changge hadn't invited external help from the Qingzhu Sword Sect, she wouldn't be afraid of that Foundation Establishment evil Cultivator.
Xu Changge's demeanor was truly extraordinary.
Moreover, Xu Changge was also a Formation Master.
If she was given time to prepare, Su Bai wouldn't doubt that Xu Changge could truly trap and kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
But Xu Changge still borrowed external help from the Qingzhu Sword Sect, either to be safe and prevent the evil Cultivator from escaping, or for some other reason.
Su Bai didn't know, nor did she want to know.
She only needed to get her own benefits.
A second-tier Spiritual Vein, third-tier spiritual wood...
The benefits were too great.
The five of them waited for half a day.
A green escape light flew from the distant sky.
The escape light approached from afar.
One moment it was far away in the sky, the next it had arrived in front of them.
The escape light disappeared, and standing before them was a young Cultivator in a green tight-fitting suit, stepping on a Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword.
His whole body was surging with spiritual power, truly extraordinary.
Looking at the newcomer, Su Bai secretly marveled in her heart.
So fast! So strong! He was definitely not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Seeing the newcomer, Xu Changge's Face broke into a smile, and she bowed slightly.
"So it's Senior Brother Left Lian of the patrol team. I didn't expect it to be you."
This smile was more relaxed than when she faced Su Bai and the others earlier.
Clearly, the newcomer's combat power was formidable, giving Xu Changge the confidence to Face the evil Cultivator.
The Cultivator, whom Xu Changge called Senior Brother Left Lian, nodded slightly.
"No need to be polite, Junior Sister Xu. Even if we don't consider Elder Hong's Face, the actions of the evil Cultivators ensure they cannot escape this calamity."
"Moreover, the Qingzhu Sword Sect also thinks highly of you, Junior Sister Xu. Let's go."
Elder Hong was, of course, Xu Changge's Master.
It seemed Senior Brother Left Lian was specifically dispatched by her to ensure the evil Cultivator was eradicated.
The Xu Family could establish a foothold in the Star Luo Archipelago.
This time, with Left Lian of the patrol team leading the way, their speed was much faster.
Half a day later, the few of them concealed their cultivation and landed on a rocky island, looking at Wumu Island from afar.
"This is Wumu Island. The island produces ebony, which can be used for wood-element Magical Artifacts or to make talismans. It has a wide range of uses and is one of the Xu Family's industries."
"I know the situation on the island very well, but since I've been away for many years, I still need to be cautious."
"There are also Mortals fishing and living on the island. It seems there hasn't been much change since I left."
"The only difficulty now is whether the Xu Family's island-protecting Formation has changed."
Xu Changge specialized in Formations and was also preparing for this matter.
After all, if only a Foundation Establishment Senior Brother helped, once the Formation was activated, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would find it difficult to break through in a short time.
But with the help of a Formation Master, the situation would be different.
Moreover, for revenge, Xu Changge also prepared a second-tier Formation Breaking Talisman.
The effect of this second-tier Formation Breaking Talisman in the hands of an ordinary Cultivator and in the hands of a Formation Master is very different.
If an ordinary Cultivator used the Formation Breaking Talisman, perhaps it could only create a flaw in a second-tier Formation.
But in the hands of a Formation Master, if operated properly, it could completely sever the connection between the Formation and the Spiritual Vein, rendering the Formation completely ineffective.
At the same time, Xu Changge tried her best to explain the situation on the island and the Xu Family's situation that she had investigated over the years, including the strength of the Cultivators in the Xu Family at this time.
Under Xu Changge's arrangement, everyone decided not to alert the enemy.
They would go to the island first.
After each of them cast the Breath Concealment Art, they pretended to be ordinary fishermen and went to Wumu Island.
After successfully landing on the island, Left Lian looked in the direction of the Xu Family.
"I'll go first. I'll take care of Xu Jing. After I make my move, you can then move in to clear out the remaining Xu Family members."
As the Cultivator with the highest cultivation among those present, Left Lian stated his plan.
Although Xu Changge's cultivation was lower than his, he didn't directly act as the leader of the group.
He still deferred to Xu Changge.
After all, Left Lian was unfamiliar with the place; he was here as a strong helper.
Moreover, he also bore a mission from the Qingzhu Sword Sect.
Being in the patrol team for many years had also cultivated Left Lian's cautious character.
Everyone agreed with the suggestion Left Lian gave.
Left Lian would first sneak into the Xu Family and take the opportunity to ambush the Xu Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivator, using this as a signal.
Xu Changge would use the Formation Breaking Talisman to destroy the Formation.
The four of them, including Su Bai, would prevent any Xu Family members from escaping.
After the plan was set, Left Lian left first.
Looking at Left Lian's disappearing back, Xu Changge also needed to go to the Xu Family's Formation core to see if the location of the Formation core had changed after so many years.
Generally, it wouldn't change.
The Formation core is connected to the Spiritual Vein, and if it were moved, the power of the Formation would greatly decrease.
So she said, "Everyone, get ready. Once Senior Brother Left Lian acts, do not hesitate at all."
After Xu Changge finished speaking, Yang the Old Daoist nodded heavily first.
He valued this matter the most.
Yang the Old Daoist was the first person willing to follow Xu Changge.
He was already old.
The Lifespan of a Qi Refining Cultivator is roughly one hundred and twenty years.
However, ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators rarely live to that age.
If they were injured in a fight when they were young, or consumed inferior pills containing toxins and failed to completely expel the toxins, it could easily affect their Lifespan.
Although Yang the Old Daoist didn't care about his appearance, he was still a Cultivator and could achieve agelessness.
But in recent years, wrinkles had begun to appear on his Face.
Yang the Old Daoist estimated that his Lifespan was only about thirty years left.
He had no hope of Foundation Establishment.
He could only strive for his descendants one last time.
If this succeeded, they would get a Spiritual Vein, enough to become the future ancestral land of the Yang Family!
