When Su Bai saw the merit points required for a second-tier Spirit Medicine, she almost shouted, "Robbery!"
But then she thought.
It didn't seem that expensive.
Compared to the outside world, the second-tier Spirit Medicine given to Disciples within the Sect was actually very cheap.
After taking two sharp breaths of cool air.
Su Bai began to look at second-tier Materials again; whether it was Yao Beast hides or Spirit Wood, none of them were cheap.
This situation made her eyelids twitch slightly.
Were her merit points not enough?
But there were still Spirit Medicine seeds.
Seeds wouldn't be that expensive, would they?
After all, second-tier Spirit Medicine was precious because it required many years of cultivation and a good growing environment.
Su Bai's fingers moved.
The booklet was flipped page after page.
Finally, she turned to the page for Spirit Medicine seeds.
Su Bai closed one eye, secretly peeking at the booklet.
She was worried that the required merit points would give her a surprise.
"Snake Shedding Flower seeds, two merit points..."
"Three-Flower Grass seeds, two merit points..."
"White Jade Ginseng seeds, five merit points..."
These Spirit Medicine seeds were indeed not expensive!
And they were all ones she didn't have!
"Fellow Daoist, I'd like to exchange for some Spirit Medicine seeds."
After Su Bai spoke.
She noticed the old man looking at her with a strange gaze.
Well, yes, after all, it would take at least fifty years for Spirit Medicine seeds to grow into Spirit Medicine.
Even if Su Bai was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
She could probably only Cultivate two batches.
However, merit points were personal gains.
How they were used was none of his business.
"Alright, mark down all the seeds you need, and I'll have someone retrieve them from the back."
"Thank you, thank you."
Su Bai cheerfully wrote down the Spirit Medicine seeds she needed, using up all of her remaining eighty merit points.
Then she left Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak with a happy expression.
This time, she obtained over thirty types of second-tier Spirit Medicine seeds.
When used for blending, it was just enough to refine a second-tier Medicinal Pill.
It was a great harvest.
Stepping out of Seven Stars Mountain, she looked at the bustling Xingluo Market below.
Thanks to the methods of the Six Upper Sects Elders.
After raising the Spiritual Vein by one level.
It was becoming increasingly prosperous here.
Loose Cultivators came and went in an endless stream.
At this time, there was already a no-fly zone above the Xingluo Market.
Places where one could fly were marked.
Of course, if you violated it, people from the Enforcement Hall would naturally come looking for you.
The current Xingluo Market was much more regulated than it was ten years ago.
Su Bai had already displayed her cultivation.
This time, she didn't disguise herself when leaving Seven Stars Mountain.
She flew directly through the air.
Without the aid of any Magical Artifact.
The Cultivators around her, who were using Flying Swords and flying boats, all showed respectful gazes when they saw Su Bai.
Then they made cupped-hand salutes from afar.
This was the treatment a Foundation Establishment Cultivator received.
It was almost like being the center of attention.
However, as Xingluo Market developed to this day, leaving aside the outer circle, at least in the inner circle, the figures of Foundation Establishment Cultivators were not uncommon.
Of course, most of them were Family Cultivators affiliated with Sects.
One might even encounter an Old Ancestor of a certain Family.
Of course, there were also Loose Cultivators who came from outside.
They directly rented Immortal Caves in the market.
Their purpose was simple.
One was that there was an Advanced Spiritual Vein here that could be used for Cultivation.
There was also another reason.
There were only nine years left until the Six Upper Sects announced they would open their Sect gates and recruit Disciples.
Most of the Cultivators who came here were attracted by this announcement.
And quite a few Loose Cultivators had already been having babies for ten consecutive years!
They were just waiting for the Six Upper Sects to begin recruiting Disciples so they could send their children directly in.
She flew back to Danfu Pavilion amidst the Qi Refining Cultivators' gazes of looking at a big shot.
As soon as Su Bai landed.
A sweet voice came from the entrance.
"Shopkeeper, you're back~"
A female Cultivator, dressed in a white ruqun and with her hair tied back, was smiling as she looked at Su Bai.
This was the attendant maid that Shan Xiao...Yan Lei had sent her.
Yan Lei had contributed a lot to the downfall of the Ding Family and the suppression of the Song Family.
Now, the original territory of the Ding Family belonged to him.
Many previously not-so-clean Loose Cultivators worked under him.
This female Cultivator named Yu Rou, in front of her, was not as delicate as she appeared on the surface.
It was said that she used to run a black inn in the mortal world...
Her cultivation was at Qi Refining sixth-tier.
This was one of the maids Yan Lei had sent over.
The other was Yu Rou's younger sister, named Yu Ying.
As the younger sister, her talent was better than her older sister's, and she had already Broken Through to Qi Refining seventh-tier.
It was just that the younger sister's personality was different from her older sister's, being more aloof.
Hearing Yu Rou's greeting, Su Bai merely nodded.
And walked inside.
Seeing Su Bai ignore her, Yu Rou still smiled cheerfully.
She lightly raised her jade arm and stood at the entrance of Danfu Pavilion.
Acting as a living signboard.
Attracting passing Loose Cultivators to come in and spend.
These methods were used exceptionally well.
Regardless of Yu Rou's personality, Yan Lei sending the two sisters over naturally meant he believed they could help Su Bai.
Arriving at the courtyard in the back.
Su Bai saw white smoke billowing from inside the Alchemy room.
Clearly, Lu Hong was currently doing Alchemy.
She did not go in to disturb her.
It was best to concentrate when doing Alchemy, otherwise, it was very easy to fail.
Not long after.
Lu Hong walked out dejectedly.
Her small face was dark.
Clearly, she had been heavily smoked by the fumes.
Just as Lu Hong was feeling frustrated that her Alchemy had failed again.
She looked up and saw that her Aunt Su had returned.
Her frustrated mood was immediately thrown to the back of her mind.
She joyfully bounced in front of Su Bai.
"Aunt Su, when did you get back!"
Seeing Lu Hong's appearance, Su Bai raised her hand and cast a Dust Cleansing Charm on her.
The dirty Lu Hong immediately became clean.
"Just now."
"Looking at you, did your Alchemy fail?"
Lu Hong hadn't even finished being happy to see Su Bai when her sore spot was poked.
She awkwardly rubbed the back of her head.
"I tried a High Grade first-tier Medicinal Pill, and it was indeed a bit difficult."
Lu Hong extended her hand and took out the Medicinal Pills she had failed to refine.
In her palm, there were three pitch-black Medicinal Pills, and one Medicinal Pill with a surface full of dents.
Three Waste Pill (waste pills), one with an extremely poor appearance, barely counting as a low-grade Medicinal Pill.
And this was still a finished product that could be recognized as a Medicinal Pill.
Perhaps in the Pill Furnace, there was also a pile of poisonous pills that had turned into dust.
Su Bai shook her head.
And spoke to comfort her:
"Alchemy is inherently profound, and your Alchemy talent is mediocre, so you can only make up for clumsiness with diligence."
Hearing Su Bai's words, Lu Hong nodded earnestly.
Then Su Bai took away the Medicinal Pills that Lu Hong had ruined.
Not to dispose of them.
But to feed her Little Qing.
Previously, Su Bai had been feeding it Dragon essence, but Little Qing's strength just wouldn't increase.
It made her quite angry, and she was even more heartbroken that so much Dragon essence was wasted.
If she used it for Alchemy, she didn't know how many Spirit Stones she could earn!
Then, by chance, on one occasion.
Lu Hong, as usual, refined a furnace of waste pills.
But Little Qing actually reacted.
When she saw Little Qing ignoring the pill poison and eating the waste pills, Su Bai finally realized.
This little Dragon had a Thunder Poison Spiritual Root.
Dragon essence could Cultivate it, so some poisonous substances naturally could too!
From then on, Su Bai fed the waste pills to Little Qing.
This little fellow, in ten years, had truly reached the Medium Grade first-tier!
This speed of cultivation increase.
Truly gave Su Bai quite a surprise!
