Su Bai recounted everything from when she first met Lian Youzhi at the Ebony Island market, how she was unexpectedly attacked, and how she gained Lian Youzhi's appreciation.
Later, when she returned to the market, they unexpectedly met again, and Lian Youzhi warned her to stay away from Seven Stars Mountain at the end of the auction.
Su Bai changed her reason for returning to Ebony Island to break through her Cultivation to collecting Spirit Medicine on Ebony Island.
And the matter of Lian Youzhi giving her a Cultivation Technique was also modified.
"So, you don't know where that Lian Youzhi came from either?"
Su Bai shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
After learning that Su Bai also knew very little about Lian Youzhi, Xu Changge merely nodded.
Looking at it now, Lian Youzhi seemed to only be targeting the Six Sects.
It had nothing to do with them.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first. The Xu Family's losses still need to be tallied, sigh!"
Sighing, Xu Changge departed.
After Xu Changge left, Su Bai also announced that Danfu Pavilion would temporarily close for business.
At the same time, Su Bai began to intentionally gather information about Lian Youzhi.
Lian Youzhi's actions in Xingluo Market caused a huge stir, and now the entire Cultivation world of Zhang Country was abuzz with rumors.
"I heard that after that Demoness killed the Crimson Cloud Sect's Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, she went straight for Green Bamboo Sword Sect."
"Green Bamboo Sword Sect didn't engage, so the Demoness directly started releasing poison!"
"I heard that in just one day, everything within a hundred li radius of Green Bamboo Sword Sect withered!"
"This could only force Green Bamboo Sword Sect to come out and fight. I heard two Nascent Soul Old Ancestors came out directly!"
"And when that Demoness saw the two Nascent Souls, she didn't fight; she just ran away and turned to Beast Controlling Sect."
Su Bai listened to the Cultivators' discussions on the street.
Xingluo Market, having suffered this calamity, was much quieter.
However, some people seemed to think that since Lian Youzhi had already acted in Xingluo Market, she wouldn't come again.
Therefore, many Cultivators did not leave.
That Lian Youzhi was also a person who kept her word.
She provoked each of the Six Sects one by one.
Either they handed over the life of a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor as compensation, or Lian Youzhi would directly release poison.
The Sects were protected by Formations.
This time, Lian Youzhi had no familiar inside agents for the Formations, so she couldn't break in.
But she could ensure that no life would ever appear near the Sects again.
Once her Ten Thousand Demons Hall's poisonous Qi was released, the surrounding vitality would be damaged, taking at least a thousand years to recover.
Even the Sects couldn't endure this.
Leaving aside the issue of vitality recovery, just the fact that the surroundings were full of poisonous Qi, right at their doorstep, made going out a problem in the future.
So, when Lian Youzhi had just left Green Bamboo Sword Sect and arrived at Beast Controlling Sect, before Lian Youzhi even started releasing poison, their Nascent Souls came out to fight.
Then Lian Youzhi was surrounded by four Nascent Souls.
When Su Bai heard this news, she was amazed.
What a fierce woman! Her Incarnation's Cultivation was not high, yet she continuously challenged opponents beyond her level.
And even when surrounded by four Nascent Souls, she was still able to escape.
At this point, the Six Major Sects also realized that they had to deal with Lian Youzhi first, otherwise, if left alone, she would definitely be a menace.
Thus, the Nascent Soul Old Ancestors of the Six Sects all took action.
Lian Youzhi entangled with the Nascent Souls of the Six Sects for half a year, and was finally pursued to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where she chose to self-destruct her Incarnation.
Su Bai and Xu Changge were sitting in a small teahouse at this time, listening to the intelligence Xu Changge had gathered.
"Although Lian Youzhi self-destructed, she scattered her Demonic Blood, leaving Demonic Seeds on the Nascent Souls who attacked her. Her Demonic Blood also made the Yao Beasts more violent, causing a Yao Beast tide. Now Heavenly Fortune City is widely inviting Cultivators from all paths to block the Yao Beast tide."
"Besides leaving the hidden danger of the Yao Beast tide, the descendants of the Nascent Souls who attacked Lian Youzhi probably won't come out in the future. The Demonic Seeds are deeply rooted in their Bloodline. As long as someone practices Demonic Path Cultivation Technique, they will be able to recognize the Demonic Seeds, and swallowing them can enhance their Cultivation."
"…"
By the end, Xu Changge was also astonished by these Demonic Path methods for the first time.
Too powerful.
Lian Youzhi's Core Formation Late Stage Incarnation could kill a Nascent Soul Initial Stage, and even escape from over a dozen Nascent Soul Initial Stage Cultivators.
Even if she couldn't escape in the end, she could still leave behind trouble that even Nascent Soul Cultivators would find vexing.
"Do you know who was implanted with the Demonic Seeds?" Su Bai asked.
Because she thought of what Lian Youzhi had said earlier.
Upon hearing Su Bai's question, Xu Changge directly stated:
"Old Ancestor Zhao of Green Bamboo Sword Sect, Old Ancestor Li of Divine Talisman Sect, Old Ancestor Yang of Elixir Cauldron Sect, Old Ancestor Sun of Beast Controlling Sect, and Old Ancestor Zhu of String Sound Pavilion."
Only the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor of Crimson Cloud Sect was not mentioned.
Because Crimson Cloud Sect had already lost a Nascent Soul.
So Lian Youzhi chose to spare them.
In the future, the descendants of these five Old Ancestors will face a lot of trouble.
Although the Demonic Cultivators of Li Country were annihilated, some of them had escaped to the Demon Beast Mountain Range and gone to the other side.
Perhaps after a few hundred years, or a thousand years, someone will come back to kill them.
After all, the Demonic Cultivators here are no longer a threat.
But what about the Demon Beast Mountain Range side?
If two Nascent Soul-level Demonic Cultivators emerge, it will be enough to give these Old Ancestors a hard time.
The matter of Lian Youzhi has only temporarily concluded.
Now, Su Bai and Xu Changge can only diligently Cultivate, striving to reach Core Formation as soon as possible.
Time flew by, like a fleeting white steed.
Fifty years passed in a blink of an eye.
Su Bai sat in the secret chamber, slowly exhaling a breath.
Above her head was a small Spiritual Qi vortex.
After her Spiritual Qi circulated for another grand cycle within her body, drip!
A drop of Spiritual Qi liquid quietly formed.
One hundred and fifty drops!
At this moment, Su Bai's Cultivation officially entered the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment!
After Xiao Qing broke through to the second tier, Su Bai used Taming Beast Art, and the two, one person and one beast, assisted each other in Cultivation.
With no shortage of Medicinal Pills, and the Medicine King Canon enhancing the Medicinal Pill effects, along with the Spirit Sword Body improving her Physique, Su Bai's Cultivation speed had been continuously increasing.
As for the attribute points accumulated over these fifty years, after Su Bai raised her Divine Soul to forty, she began to add Creation Essence. After all, to Cultivate the Ten Thousand Year Ironwood, the higher the Creation Essence, the better.
At this time, her various attributes were already relatively balanced.
[Divine Soul: 40, Physique: 40, Mana: 40, Creation Essence: 32]
Xingluo Market had been rebuilt.
A new Seven Stars Mountain had also appeared.
Only the location of the mountain range had changed, and the people of the Six Sects had modified the Formation.
At this time, Xu Changge had already reached Foundation Establishment Peak and was collecting treasures to help her reach Core Formation.
Lu Hong was also close to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.
Everything, apart from their Cultivation, seemed unchanged.
"Aunt Su, Yu Rou and her sister have sent word. They said it's in these two days, and they hope you'll go see them."
Su Bai walked out of the Cultivation secret chamber.
Danfu Pavilion had new attendants.
They were a few young people.
Yu Rou and Yu Ying had gone to Ebony Island ten years ago, to Su Bai's Sea Corner Cliff, where they looked after Spirit Medicine while living out their retirement.
When the two sisters first came to Su Bai, they were already over fifty years old.
Later, they failed to break through to Foundation Establishment, and their Lifespan was now nearing its end.
Su Bai had also given them Lifespan Pills.
However, the two felt that this life was already enough.
In their final years, to have met Su Bai, this shopkeeper, and learned Alchemy, their lives were already complete.
Finally, the sisters died together, very content.
Hearing Lu Hong's words, Su Bai nodded.
"Have someone from the Xu Family come to help watch the shop. We two will make a trip back to Ebony Island."
"Yes, Aunt Su."
