Baifeng Town would soon open.
Although Su Bai wasn't going,
Xu Changge invited Yang the Old Daoist and the others.
Having just moved into a new home, they naturally needed to buy things, so they didn't decline and went together.
Undisturbed, Su Bai resumed her peaceful Cultivating life.
After watering the Spirit Field with the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Technique,
she walked over to the side of the Medicine Garden.
The Spirit Medicine planted here was also growing well.
However, these were merely for Su Bai to conceal the true Medicine Garden.
Her Haijiao Cliff was still some distance from the sea surface.
Su Bai naturally wouldn't waste it.
She dug a tunnel below that led directly to the seabed.
The Spirit Medicine cultivated using Creation Essence was hidden there.
After inspecting the surface Medicine Garden,
Su Bai then used the secret passage in the pavilion to descend into the excavated cave.
The growth of the Spirit Medicine here was different from those on the surface.
Each one was a thirty-year-old Spirit Medicine.
The only exception was the Qingyun Thunder Bamboo.
"It's indeed difficult to plant this third-tier Spirit Wood."
Since it was planted by Su Bai, the Qingyun Thunder Bamboo had grown extremely slowly.
This was the case even when using Creation Essence.
As for the reason, after some exploration, Su Bai roughly understood.
The Spirit Medicine she usually planted was first-tier Spirit Medicine.
Even though the Creation Essence used was diluted, it was still sufficient.
She could clearly see the growth process.
But Qingyun Thunder Bamboo was a third-tier Spirit Item.
Su Bai only had 3 points of Creation Essence.
Its effect was naturally not very obvious.
To use an analogy, it was like using Qi Refining Stage spiritual energy to nourish a Jindan Stage spiritual item.
It was naturally a drop in the bucket.
However, Su Bai was not in a hurry.
Although the effect was minimal, it was still effective.
Under normal circumstances, Qingyun Thunder Bamboo was best used when it was three hundred years old.
Su Bai's Creation Essence had already greatly shortened this time; Su Bai might only need fifty years to use three-hundred-year-old Qingyun Thunder Bamboo.
As for adding attribute points to Creation Essence in the future,
Su Bai currently had no such plans.
Physique was what could best enhance Su Bai's current strength, already equivalent to Body Refining.
She clenched her fist.
"I feel like even without Cultivation, with my current physical strength, I could kill a Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator."
Even without using martial arts, Su Bai's Physique at this time was extremely exaggerated.
Su Bai could crush the rocks in the cave with her bare hands.
Even if she did nothing, it would be difficult for ordinary High Grade Magical Artifacts to harm Su Bai.
Looking at her fair and tender small hands,
Su Bai rubbed her face.
"Why do I feel a bit like I have baby fat?"
Because everyone on Wumu Island was familiar, Su Bai didn't bother with disguise.
Although her Magical Robe was still faded from washing, it was at least not as shabby as before.
Thinking of Shen Fang and Xu Changge,
sometimes Su Bai worried for them. They were so beautiful, yet they didn't pay attention to concealing themselves. What if they encountered some robber cultivators one day and were abducted to be Cauldrons?
When Xu Changge returns, she should be reminded.
These Star Archipelagoes were not within the jurisdiction of the Six Upper Sects.
All kinds of Cultivators existed, so it was naturally better to be careful.
Cultivation knows no time, and Xu Changge soon returned from the Baifeng Town.
However, she looked off upon her return.
It seemed as if someone was chasing her from behind.
Yang the Old Daoist, who accompanied Xu Changge, also looked tense.
And Shen Fang was holding Lu Ning, with tears in her eyes.
Su Bai stood on the roof of the pavilion, watching Xu Changge control her Flying Magical Artifact at full speed, landing directly in the Xu Family territory.
Then a Formation that enveloped Wumu Island rose up.
This caused a flicker of surprise in Su Bai's eyes.
It seemed Xu Changge had encountered trouble on this trip.
Su Bai didn't hesitate, controlling her Flying Sword and flying towards the Xu Family.
She wanted to ask for the detailed situation.
This Wumu Island was her new home.
She only hoped that the trouble Xu Changge encountered wasn't too big and that she could resolve it.
She prayed silently in her heart.
In a short while, Su Bai arrived at the Xu Family.
Some of the Xu Family members saw Su Bai and didn't stop her.
Although Su Bai hadn't met these Xu Family members before,
there were only a few Cultivators who could move freely on Wumu Island, and Xu Changge had clearly given instructions.
Su Bai entered the living room and saw a worried Xu Changge.
And Yang the Old Daoist, clutching his chest.
Lu Ning and Shen Fang were not there.
She spoke directly, asking:
"You just went out for a trip, why do you look like this upon your return?"
Yang the Old Daoist was about to answer when he coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood that stained his white beard.
Xu Changge glanced at Yang the Old Daoist and sighed helplessly.
"Let me explain."
"This trip to the Baifeng Town started well. We traded for a lot of things there."
"But after the auction, we encountered trouble. The competition for the Stalactite Jade Liquid was too fierce, and those Loose Cultivators, for the sake of a more than fifty percent chance of Foundation Establishment, all went red-eyed."
"Seeing the fierce competition, I didn't participate and bought some other things."
"The problem arose later. After the auction ended, some Qi Refining Peak Cultivators started fighting directly, and we were unwillingly drawn into it."
"It would have been fine if things were clarified, but my frequent bids at the auction attracted the attention of some robber cultivators. They completely muddied the waters."
Xu Changge's eyes held some self-reproach.
In the multi-party chaotic battle, she had been overconfident, not expecting that someone would dare to attack their side, which had four Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase Cultivators.
Moreover, not only did they attack, but Lu Ning was also seriously injured and was currently recuperating in the back.
Yang the Old Daoist only had minor injuries, but he was an old man, suffering an undeserved calamity out of nowhere.
"Then why did you activate this Formation after you returned?"
This was where Su Bai was confused.
When asked about this, Xu Changge became even more depressed and self-reproachful.
"Among those chaotic Cultivators, there was a robber cultivators..."
"I noticed it at the time and wanted to kill the robber cultivators, but that robber cultivators and the other robber cultivators were in cahoots. When I made my move, they instantly united to besiege us."
"We were no match, so we quickly fled, and that robber cultivators, being vengeful, chased us all the way here."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai also felt depressed.
This Xu Changge was quite good at causing trouble.
She was Cultivating on Wumu Island, and now she was inexplicably targeted by a robber cultivators!
"What is the robber cultivators's Realm?"
Since she was targeted, Su Bai naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
She wanted to find out clearly.
"That robber cultivators and his companions are all Qi Refining Peak existences, five of them in total, but they all have secret techniques to improve their Realm, so their strength is not weaker than some Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
Xu Changge also knew she had caused trouble.
She shouldn't have such a strong sense of justice.
However, Xu Changge was also raised by the Qingzhu Sword Sect, and influenced by her surroundings, she couldn't ignore the existence of robber cultivators.
After getting the details about the robber cultivators, Su Bai nodded.
She told Xu Changge and the others to rest well and planned to return.
At this time, with the Formation activated on Wumu Island, the robber cultivators temporarily posed no threat here.
It was just that she would have to guard against them in the shadows in the future.
When Su Bai offered her goodbyes,
Xu Changge tossed her a Storage Pouch.
Su Bai reached out and caught it, glancing at the Storage Pouch.
Xu Changge managed a faint smile.
"This is the harvest from the trip to Baifeng Town."
