"Sister Xu? Isn't Fellow Daoist Xu better to hear?"
Watching Xu Changge's retreating figure, Su Bai closed the Formation.
Regarding Xu Changge's request, Su Bai naturally understood what she was thinking.
It was about getting closer.
She had asked her for so much help.
The comfortable Dao field she lived in now, and the protective Formation, were all given for free.
Having taken so many advantages, even Su Bai, with her thick skin, couldn't bear it.
It was just a change of address, a small problem.
Next time, she would sweetly call out "Sister Xu" a couple of times, and she could continue to coax that silly woman into helping her a few more times.
After all, calling her'Sister' wasn't like giving Spirit Stones; there was no loss.
After Su Bai saw Xu Changge off, a transmission talisman flew over from a distance.
Su Bai controlled the Formation to let the transmission talisman come before her.
"Yang the Old Daoist?"
It seemed Yang the Old Daoist had seen Xu Changge visiting her.
Then, after Xu Changge finished chatting with her and left, he sent the transmission talisman.
Su Bai held the transmission talisman.
Yang the Old Daoist's voice came from within.
"Fellow Daoist Su, this Old Daoist has prepared a feast and specially invited you to taste it."
Because last time she moved to a new home, Yang the Old Daoist had invited Su Bai.
However, at that time, she was in Great Wu, although in others' eyes, she was in seclusion.
Now that Su Bai had come out of seclusion, to make up for the regret, he invited her again.
This time, Su Bai couldn't refuse.
After all, Xu Changge had just left, and everyone knew she was home and had nothing to do.
Su Bai thought for a moment, then went back into the house and entered the Alchemy room.
She opened the furnace to perform Alchemy.
Three days later, Su Bai flew towards Yang the Old Daoist's Peach Blossom Mountain, holding the newly refined Medicinal Pill.
One couldn't go empty-handed when visiting.
By the time Su Bai arrived at Peach Blossom Mountain, she could see several rows of houses built on the mountainside from afar.
There were also a few figures cultivating Spiritual Fields.
As soon as Su Bai arrived, a figure came to greet her.
It was Yang the Old Daoist.
The old man was smiling jovially, his face radiant.
Su Bai handed him the newly refined Medicinal Pill.
The old fellow's smile grew even brighter.
"Fellow Daoist Su, you are truly busy; this Old Daoist invited you twice before you finally came."
"Yang the Old Daoist, please don't take offense. You know I prefer tranquility. Once I enter seclusion, I know nothing of what's happening outside."
The two exchanged a few playful remarks.
Yang the Old Daoist insisted on inviting Su Bai as a guest because he had secured a Foundation for his Family.
As a Loose Cultivator, everything was difficult.
Normally, they were stingy for the sake of Cultivation, just wanting their cultivation to be higher.
When they had no hope of immortality, they would save all their resources for their descendants.
Yang the Old Daoist was the same; he had no hope of Foundation Establishment, and his Lifespan was almost exhausted.
Xu Changge was his greatest Opportunity.
Having obtained a second-order Spiritual Vein, his Family might very well produce a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the future!
Becoming a Foundation Establishment Family!
A Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor could protect a Family for at least a hundred years.
This would create a significant gap with ordinary Loose Cultivators.
Although Yang the Old Daoist himself could no longer protect his Family, he at least left a legacy for his Family.
His descendants would not have to wander and struggle like him.
Such a joyous occasion naturally called for inviting good friends to celebrate.
Yang the Old Daoist pulled Su Bai along, recounting the difficulties of his Cultivation over the years.
He spoke of how happy he was that his children and grandchildren would no longer have to worry about these things.
"Fellow Daoist Su, look down the mountain; there are Spiritual Fields cultivated by my clansmen. Although the new field is only one mu, the Spiritual Rice produced is enough for the younger generation to Cultivate."
"And the peach trees on this Peach Blossom Mountain are also considered Spiritual Wood. Although they are not yet graded, they contain a trace of Spiritual Qi. In the future, we will collect peach blossoms and peaches to make peach blossom wine."
"Thus, my Yang Family will also have an industry."
Yang the Old Daoist's eyes were full of light.
When a Family has an industry, it has Spirit Stones.
With Spirit Stones, there are resources!
With resources, one can Cultivate!
At this point, Yang the Old Daoist looked at Su Bai.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Su, what do you plan to do with your sea cliff? This Old Daoist suggests raising Spiritual Fish."
"However, this Old Daoist has my own clansmen, whether they are Spiritual Farmers cultivating fields or brewing wine, we have enough hands. Fellow Daoist Su, you are alone, why not hire some help?"
"This Old Daoist has some clansmen who previously worked as tenant farmers in other Families. They are diligent and efficient workers and can certainly handle this important task."
Yang the Old Daoist even tried to promote his clansmen to Su Bai, hoping to earn some extra income.
Su Bai just shook her head.
She had her own secrets and naturally didn't want too much contact with others.
If she hired people, wouldn't it be easy for them to notice that the Spirit Medicine she usually grew had an abnormal growth period?
"You know my personality, Yang the Old Daoist."
"Yes, yes, you like tranquility, alas."
Seeing that his clansmen were not hired, Yang the Old Daoist felt a bit regretful.
However, the two quickly stopped dwelling on this matter.
They began to talk about Lu Ning and Shen Fang, the Dao Companion couple.
Su Bai was alone, and although she cultivated Spiritual Fields and a medicinal garden, they were not large in scale.
She finished them easily.
Yang the Old Daoist had his own clansmen, and everyone worked together, so they settled down quickly.
Yang the Old Daoist stroked his beard and looked in the direction of the Purple Blue Garden.
"I visited that Dao Companion couple before; they plan to raise Spiritual Silkworms."
"Oh?"
This piqued Su Bai's interest.
Spiritual Silkworms were also good things, but they had high requirements for breeding.
However, if Lu Ning and Shen Fang knew silkworm breeding techniques, and since they were both Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivators, it wouldn't be too difficult to raise them.
"Then in the future, we can directly buy the Materials for custom-made robes from Fellow Daoist Lu," Su Bai said with a smile, revealing a row of small white teeth.
Yang the Old Daoist nodded.
This was the advantage of having connections; the more people you knew, the cheaper things would be.
If Lu Ning and his wife raised Spiritual Silkworms, the silk could be used to make robes, and even the silkworm droppings were an Artifact Refining Material.
Su Bai hadn't expected these two to have such a skill.
They used to hunt Yao Beasts in the mountain range.
Su Bai had thought they were Loose Cultivators specializing in that.
It seemed that if one had a skill, no one would want to go out and take risks.
In the past, Lu Ning only took Shen Fang to hunt Yao Beasts at the risk of their lives and sell them due to the pressure of life.
Now they had a second-order Spiritual Vein.
With a stable life, they began to use their craft.
Su Bai thought for a moment.
Her using Creation Essence to plant Spirit Medicine could also be considered a proper business, right?
After eating and drinking to their fill, Yang the Old Daoist smilingly saw Su Bai off.
"Fellow Daoist Su, I will bring the next Family Head to see you in the future."
Before Su Bai left, she paused when she heard Yang the Old Daoist's words.
Yang the Old Daoist was the oldest in the Wumu Island Alliance.
He would definitely be the first to pass away.
To keep the Alliance intact and ensure that the several Fellow Daoists on Wumu Island looked after his Family, he would definitely let Xu Changge, Su Bai, and others get acquainted with his descendants before he died.
In the future, the one contacting Su Bai and the others would not be Yang the Old Daoist, but the next Yang Family Head.
This was also a normal social practice for some Cultivator Families.
