Watching Xu Changge's retreating figure, Su Bai shook her head and returned to her own pavilion.
They had agreed to explore the Zhenyi Secret Realm together ten years from now.
As for the Formation Su Bai needed, Xu Changge had to go back and prepare, and then she would personally come to set it up.
At the same time, Su Bai received a High Grade Formation Master Legacy from Xu Changge.
This was considered the remuneration for Su Bai's willingness to help.
Xu Changge came to Su Bai because Yang the Old Daoist was no longer able to Foundation Establishment, so she naturally couldn't go to him.
Lu Ning and Shen Fang's Dao Hearts didn't seem stable either.
Only Su Bai steadily moved forward, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao.
Xu Changge came to Su Bai not only because she herself was preparing for Foundation Establishment, but also because she saw that Su Bai also wanted to Foundation Establishment.
And if Su Bai wanted to Foundation Establishment, she would definitely want a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Therefore, the probability of her invitation to explore the Secret Realm together being rejected was not high.
As Xu Changge expected, the two hit it off immediately.
Inside the pavilion, Su Bai looked at the small section of Qingyun Thunder Bamboo in her hand.
In the eyes of outsiders, this section of Qingyun Thunder Bamboo could only be used to make third-tier talismans or be refined to forge a top-grade Spiritual Artifact.
This much Materials wasn't even enough to forge a Magic Treasure embryo.
But only Su Bai knew that this was the beginning of her Body Refining.
"With this as the starting point, I will plant an entire patch of Qingyun Thunder Bamboo!"
Moreover, with the Formation Legacy, Su Bai no longer had to worry about her medicinal garden in the Great Wu World being exposed.
She would directly set up a Formation.
At that time, even if a Martial Artist discovered something unusual there, they wouldn't be able to break the immortal Formation with their methods!
She could plant whatever she wanted!
She took out a drop of Creation Essence and dripped it onto the Qingyun Thunder Bamboo.
Watching the remaining section of bamboo regain its vitality, and even grow new shoots on this short section, Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.
She carefully put away the Qingyun Thunder Bamboo.
Now, she needed to comprehend the Formation Legacy, striving to set up a Formation as soon as possible.
Taking out the Jade Slip Xu Changge gave her, Su Bai extended her Divine Sense into it.
Upon first contact with the Formation, Su Bai was bewildered.
It was like reading an undecipherable text! She recognized all the characters, but when put together, she couldn't understand them!
But it didn't matter!
If she couldn't understand it, she could memorize it first!
As Su Bai was planning to memorize it by rote, she suddenly discovered that the Jade Slip also contained Xu Changge's experience and insights from studying Formations.
And after reading the experience and insights, Su Bai, who had previously been completely clueless, now understood a part of the beginning of the Formation Legacy.
"Is this the benefit of having a Master?"
At this moment, Su Bai finally understood that, besides resource difficulties, Loose Cultivators faced many other challenges on their path of Cultivation.
Just think, if she were a Sect Disciple, some difficult issues in Cultivation could be directly asked of her Master, and the problem would be easily solved.
After a moment of reflection, Su Bai continued to read the Formation Legacy.
Just getting started took Su Bai three months.
"My goodness, if I didn't have Divine Sense to instantly record the Legacy in my mind and comprehend it bit by bit, who knows how long it would take."
At this point, although Su Bai hadn't personally set up a Formation, she felt that she should be a Low Grade Formation Master.
Mainly, when Xu Changge came to set up the Formation for Su Bai's Dao field, she stood by and learned a lot.
It was like being taught hand-in-hand once.
Su Bai naturally didn't just watch.
She also used ordinary stones and branches to simulate Formation Materials for deductions.
"Just a small Illusionary Formation, and it took me over a hundred tries to hide the Formation core."
"This Formation Master entry is a bit difficult."
When she first started as an Alchemist, she felt like she didn't lose as many brain cells as she did studying Formations.
As for becoming a Talisman Master, it was even simpler.
Su Bai herself was excellent at using spiritual Qi.
By continuously writing and drawing, she quickly became a Talisman Master.
However, these few skills also made Su Bai feel that her talent in the path of talismans was the best.
Formations were truly not meant for Cultivators to learn.
"But I have already entered the door."
"And the path to longevity is long; naturally, I need to find some skills to learn and pass the time."
"Longevity is the strongest talent!"
Su Bai looked at a flag in her hand.
This was the control Formation Flag for the Formation here.
As Su Bai waved the flag in her hand, a layer of mist gradually rose from the air, enveloping the area Su Bai had designated.
"Yi Wood Shadow Formation."
Once the Formation was activated, unauthorized intruders would get lost in the mist without the owner's permission.
After activating the Formation, Su Bai stroked her chin.
"This Formation will need to be changed later."
Yes, it must be changed.
Su Bai lacked a sense of security, and this Formation was set up by Xu Changge.
As the Formation Master and the one who placed the Formation, Xu Changge knew this Formation inside and out.
Previously, Xu Changge had broken the Xu Family's Formation, easily depriving Xu Jing of his reliance on the Formation.
Su Bai had not forgotten this scene.
She naturally didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
Therefore, for something like a Formation, at least when Su Bai's own skill level improved, she would replace it without hesitation.
However, now was not the time.
"Since the Formation is operating without problems, I should begin my own Cultivation."
Previously, Su Bai had planned to create her own Cultivation Technique.
Now, she intended to do just that.
...
Da Wu World.
Su Bai looked at the Mingyu Sect before her.
She hadn't returned in ten years.
In Su Bai's perception, Ye Guojiang was sunbathing in his small courtyard.
Without disturbing anyone else, Su Bai quietly snuck into the courtyard of her Master, who had led her onto the path of Martial Arts.
Ye Guojiang lay in his reclining chair, humming a comfortable tune.
Hearing approaching footsteps, which sounded somewhat unfamiliar, Ye Guojiang opened his somewhat hazy eyes.
"Hmm? Is that Ye Ling? Have you returned from hunting Yao Beasts?"
After instinctively asking, Ye Guojiang stared blankly at the familiar figure before him.
So many years had passed, but Su Bai looked just as she did when she left, radiant and lovely.
"You, you're Xiaobai!"
Ye Guojiang's voice rose.
He was a little excited.
After Su Bai left, there had been no news of her.
Only when his daughter, Ye Ling, joined the Demon Hunting Association did some news about Su Bai come back.
But it had been a long time since anyone had seen Su Bai.
In fact, after Su Bai left, the Demon Hunting Association had been researching Monster Beast Pills.
However, without a sample of the Monster Beast Pill, the Demon Hunting Association couldn't figure it out.
After that, no new Innate Grandmasters had broken through.
Seeing this Disciple, in whom he had once placed the most hope, return, Ye Guojiang was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Master, long time no see, your white hair has increased," Su Bai greeted first.
Hearing this, Ye Guojiang pulled a strand of his hair to his eyes.
Looking at the black and white mixed hair, he smiled.
"Hehe, I'm getting old."
"You haven't changed at all."
Ye Guojiang didn't ask Su Bai what she had been doing all these years.
He just asked casually if she was well and if her martial arts had improved, like an ordinary old man chatting with his children about everyday things.
Su Bai didn't say anything else.
Following Ye Guojiang's lead, she said that her martial arts had improved a lot.
At the same time, she also asked about her Senior Sister, Ye Ling, since her Master seemed to have said that Ye Ling had gone to hunt Yao Beasts when she first arrived.
