Ancestor Xu Changge was able to emerge from the various families of the Six Major Sects and be elected as the current Outer Gate Deacon.
However, her Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and High Grade Spiritual Root were definitely not enough.
She also possessed a special Spiritual Physique.
It was called the "Spirit Array Body".
Ancestor Xu Changge was able to set up a Tier 2 Formation with her Qi Refining cultivation at that time, relying on this Physique.
This Spiritual Physique could help Ancestor Xu Changge quickly comprehend Formations, and even due to her sensitivity to Formations, there was a chance for Ancestor Xu Changge to comprehend Formations one level higher than her own cultivation.
Ancestor Xu Changge could also use Formations more flexibly during combat.
With this Physique,
Ancestor Xu Changge successfully entered the Green Bamboo Sword Sect.
Once Ancestor Xu Changge officially became a Tier 3 Formation Master,
she would be a pillar of the Sect in the future.
After all, special Physiques are rare and hard to come by.
The Green Bamboo Sword Sect would not easily let such a talent wander outside.
"Hehe, little sister's talent in Artifact Refining is not much different from my Spiritual Physique."
In fact, there was still some gap.
At least Su Bai is currently unable to comprehend Artifact Refining techniques higher than her own Realm.
However, her powerful Divine Sense and spiritual power control allowed Su Bai to do things at her Realm that Cultivators of the same stage could not do at all.
Take this Artifact Refining technique, for example.
Even if a Cultivator with some kind of Artifact Refining Spiritual Physique came here, compared to Su Bai, the Spiritual Artifacts they refined might not be better than Su Bai's.
If the attribute points continued to increase,
Su Bai was very likely to break through the limitations of her cultivation.
"These are the results of my many years of diligent study and hard practice, but unfortunately, if I told others, they would think I was bragging."
Watching Ancestor Xu Changge bring the newly refined Dragon Scale Inner Armor close to her nose, Su Bai said nonchalantly.
Ancestor Xu Changge nodded in agreement.
If she didn't know Su Bai,
if she heard someone else say that, she would also think the other person was bragging.
Without any talent, how could one achieve such a level by relying solely on diligent study and hard practice?
"This new inner armor is quite comfortable to wear, and I can even smell little sister's scent, hehehe."
Ancestor Xu Changge tried to input some spiritual power into the Dragon Scale Inner Armor.
Only a Dragon roar seemed to echo in the Void Realm.
Then, a Dao scale armor phantom began to circle around Ancestor Xu Changge.
Finally, the phantom slowly solidified, forming a black Ink Dragon.
The Dragon looked ferocious, with sharp claws and teeth, roaring at the sky.
It seemed the effect was good.
Seeing the ability of this Dragon Scale Inner Armor, Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.
"Refine it a bit more, and the power of this Dragon Scale Inner Armor will be even stronger."
Ancestor Xu Changge looked around at the Dragon phantom, then took two more steps.
This Dragon phantom had always protected Ancestor Xu Changge within it.
"Hehe, this Spiritual Artifact can be said to be the best Spiritual Artifact on me."
At this point,
Ancestor Xu Changge looked at Su Bai.
She was a bit curious how Su Bai learned so many things.
She could do Alchemy, draw Talismans, knew a thing or two about Formations, and could even refine such High Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
She only felt that Formations alone were enough for her to learn.
Of course, Ancestor Xu Changge didn't ask this question.
Perhaps Su Bai was truly exceptionally gifted.
"This inner armor is enough for you to use for a hundred years."
Su Bai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
What she said was also true.
Generally, Core Formation Cultivators sometimes spent many years collecting and accumulating Materials to refine a Magic Treasure, and it wasn't even a Lifebound Treasure.
For defense, they all used High Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Only the Core Formation True Persons of the Sect had enough resources to refine a Lifebound Treasure for themselves.
And then they still had the energy to refine an additional defensive Magic Treasure and an auxiliary Magic Treasure.
The standard combat power of a Core Formation True Person was these three Magic Treasures.
If they were generally gathered, they could unleash normal combat power.
Moreover, due to the characteristics of Lifebound Treasures, the longer they were nurtured, the stronger their power.
Some old-brand Core Formation True Persons, though their cultivation wasn't high, if they sacrificed their Lifebound Treasure, their true combat power could still increase by several tenths.
Now that the Dragon Scale Inner Armor was re-refined.
Ancestor Xu Changge found another excuse to make Su Bai stay longer.
"Regarding the Family that mines Warm Jade, I just received a reply a while ago saying that it will take some time for the Warm Jade to be delivered. Why don't you wait a bit longer, little sister?"
Su Bai naturally sensed that Ancestor Xu Changge was doing it on purpose.
However, she didn't go against Ancestor Xu Changge's wishes.
She was willing to spend more time with Ancestor Xu Changge.
It's just that…
"I've been away long enough. Although your clansmen are helping to look after the Danfu Pavilion, and the Xu Family's Alchemists can supply some low-grade Medicinal Pills, they can't handle High Grade Medicinal Pills."
"…That's true."
As Su Bai said,
a hint of reluctance appeared on Ancestor Xu Changge's face.
Seeing Ancestor Xu Changge's expression, Su Bai stepped forward and hugged her proactively.
"It's fine, we don't live far from each other. As long as we want to, can't we meet anytime?"
Ancestor Xu Changge nodded.
She really wanted to say that what she longed for was their time alone.
She wouldn't be satisfied with just meeting.
But Ancestor Xu obviously wouldn't say that out loud.
"Hmph~ Then go back, and take good care of your Danfu Pavilion."
After being hugged by Su Bai.
Although there was still some reluctance, most of Ancestor Xu Changge's inner dissatisfaction had dissipated.
Ancestor Xu Changge just didn't know that Lu Hong was thrown back to Ebony Island by Su Bai and couldn't come out for ten years.
Otherwise,
Ancestor Xu Changge would definitely be very happy to go down the mountain with Su Bai.
After easily dealing with Ancestor Xu Changge,
Su Bai returned to the Danfu Pavilion.
As Su Bai expected, some Tier 2 Medicinal Pills in the Danfu Pavilion were indeed almost sold out.
Fortunately, there was some inventory, otherwise, in the few months Su Bai was away, her shop would probably have closed down.
So after Su Bai returned, she immediately rushed to the Alchemy room in the backyard to refine the Medicinal Pills that were in short supply.
With Su Bai's Alchemy speed, it didn't take three days.
She even replenished the Medicinal Pills whose inventory had run out.
When Su Bai finished her work and planned to go to the stalls in the Outer City again,
Yan Lei walked over from outside the door.
He had a smiling face, which immediately made him look like a bad person.
Yan Lei rubbed his rough palms, looking very enthusiastic.
"Hehehe, Shopkeeper Su, business is good, isn't it?"
Yan Lei was now in the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment. Although he was eating the leftovers left by the Xu Family in the Outer City, it was enough to satisfy him.
Su Bai merely lifted her eyelids slightly and glanced at him.
She didn't respond.
However, Yan Lei didn't care.
He had been with Su Bai for so long, and most of the time, he was met with coldness.
And Su Bai's cultivation was higher than his, so he had no complaints.
Yan Lei looked around.
There were quite a few Cultivators in the Danfu Pavilion at this time.
And the lowest cultivation of those who came was Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase.
The current Danfu Pavilion clearly had a sense of nobility.
Seeing that there were many people, Yan Lei simply set up a soundproofing Restriction and then transmitted his voice to Su Bai:
"Shopkeeper, can you get Tier 2 Puppets?"
Yan Lei had only bought Tier 1 High Grade Puppets from Su Bai a long time ago.
Now he was asking this, wanting to know if Su Bai could produce Tier 2 Puppets.
Hearing this, Su Bai glanced at Yan Lei.
"Do you need Tier 2 Puppets for something?"
Even though a soundproofing Restriction had been set up, Yan Lei was still cautious.
He said carefully:
"Shopkeeper, to be honest, my subordinate discovered a Secret Realm in the Outer Sea, but there are too many Tier 2 Yao Beasts there, so I want to buy some Tier 2 Puppets from you to act as combat power."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai sighed inwardly.
As she had told Gao Fei,
that Secret Realm had, after all, been exposed!
