After Su Bai emerged from her seclusion, she discovered someone outside the Formation.
After removing the Formation,
she saw Xu Changge, who was currently looking up at a colorful cloud in the sky, deep in thought.
"Sister Xu, how long have you been here?"
Hearing Su Bai's words, Xu Changge came back to her senses, a gentle smile on her face as she replied to Su Bai:
"I just arrived, and then I noticed something unusual in the sky, so I observed it for a bit."
At this moment, Xu Changge had changed into a teal dress, and her overall demeanor had also shifted.
Originally, Xu Changge gave off a sense of authority, a feeling of being in a high position, but now her entire person was much softer.
She was like a kind elder sister from next door.
After breaking through to the Jindan Stage, Xu Changge had become even more introverted.
"First, congratulations to Sister for breaking through to Core Formation, it's a pity I didn't prepare any gifts."
Su Bai and Xu Changge looked at each other across the distance.
Xu Changge slowly descended from the air, saying indifferently:
"What gifts? Seeing you is more important than any gift."
Speaking of this, Xu Changge paused, pointing to the sky and asking:
"Little sister, do you know what that anomaly in the sky is?"
When Xu Changge flew over from a distance, she naturally saw that the colorful clouds in the sky were caused by something on Ebony Island.
Su Bai did not hide it, a hint of confidence on her face.
"It's just a small Breakthrough in Alchemy."
"Oh!"
Su Bai's words startled Xu Changge.
This anomaly was actually caused by Alchemy.
Then how incredibly skilled must her little sister's Alchemy techniques be now.
Su Bai looked at the glimmering light in Xu Changge's beautiful eyes, rubbed her nose, and chuckled twice.
"Hehe, it's not a big deal, I just kept optimizing a Medicinal Pill, hoping to add more effects, and then refined a Medicinal Pill with better Pill lines."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Bai immediately changed the subject.
"Sister, I plan to go into seclusion recently to try and impact the Core Formation Realm."
Xu Changge had just been about to ask Su Bai what Medicinal Pill she had refined that could cause such an anomaly in the sky.
She had read extensively, and although she was not skilled in Alchemy, she knew some things.
She understood that a Medicinal Pill that could cause an anomaly must be extraordinary.
But at this moment, hearing that Su Bai planned to impact Core Formation, her attention was immediately diverted.
Xu Changge's face showed a hint of pleasant surprise.
Her Xiao Bai was finally going to impact Core Formation too!
"That's great, when you go into seclusion, just go to the secret chamber I used before; the Gathering Spirit Array and protective Formation are still there, so no one will disturb you, and you can also use the help of a third-order Spiritual Vein."
"During your seclusion, I will also help you take care of Danfu Pavilion, so you won't be distracted by external matters."
As soon as Su Bai finished speaking about Core Formation, Xu Changge began to count off things one by one to help Su Bai, as if counting on her fingers.
It seemed that she had already simulated in her mind what she should do if Su Bai were to form her Core.
Hearing Xu Changge's words and seeing her thoughtful demeanor, Su Bai also smiled charmingly.
When Xu Changge, who was still counting on her fingers, saw this smile, she froze for a moment.
She parted her lips and said:
"So beautiful."
"Hmm?"
"Uh… Sister means, rest assured and go into seclusion, I'll help you watch over things outside…"
"Oh…"
Su Bai nodded, she seriously considered how to Breakthrough at Seven Stars Mountain.
When she broke through her Body Refining, she didn't want others to discover that she had such a trump card hidden.
But the Cultivation of a Spell Cultivator didn't matter.
She had lived in Xingluo Market for so long.
Everyone who knew her knew her Cultivation.
So she could completely and openly Breakthrough.
Using the secret chamber Xu Changge used before was also an option.
After all, when she broke through, due to the secret chamber, the Xingluo Mountain Formation, and the Seven Stars Mountain Grand Formation,
it didn't attract too much attention from the market.
Only some powerful Cultivators would notice that a Cultivator was breaking through to Core Formation.
"Then without further ado, let's go back into seclusion now."
Su Bai looked up at Xu Changge.
Xu Changge met Su Bai's eyes and nodded.
Without saying much, after activating the protective Formation of Sea Corner Cliff, the two returned.
On the way back to the market.
Xu Changge looked at Su Bai beside her, a slight surprise in her heart.
Although she wasn't flying at full speed at the moment, Su Bai seemed to be following her effortlessly.
And when she sped up slightly, Su Bai could also keep up.
This made Xu Changge wonder if Su Bai was a fake Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator; why did she feel that after her Breakthrough, she couldn't stably suppress Su Bai…
Su Bai saw Xu Changge looking at her, and simply narrowed her eyes, returning a faint smile.
Looking at this smile, Xu Changge patted her chest.
It must be an illusion, how could a Core Formation Cultivator not be able to stably suppress a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator?
Perhaps Xiao Bai's Cultivation Technique was just special.
Thinking of Su Bai's powerful combat strength in challenging higher Realms, Xu Changge comforted herself.
Soon, the two returned to Xingluo Market.
Su Bai first went to the Night Sparrow Gang and gave Yan Lei a High Grade Dustfall Pill.
She also informed him of her impending seclusion.
"I wish Senior a smooth seclusion and an early Breakthrough."
"Then we congratulate Senior in advance."
With the help of Su Bai's Mind-Calming Pill, Yan Lei had already broken through to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and he was now also striving for a higher Realm.
He had already stopped managing most of the gang's affairs.
In response to Yan Lei's congratulations, Su Bai replied:
"Then I wish Fellow Daoist Yan a smooth Cultivation."
Leaving the Night Sparrow Gang, she returned to Danfu Pavilion.
She informed Lu Hong of her seclusion.
Lu Hong felt a bit reluctant, but she also knew that Core Formation was a big matter.
"Aunt Su, rest assured in your seclusion, Danfu Pavilion has me."
Lu Hong patted her chest and promised.
After all, she was also a Second-Order Alchemist; although Su Bai would not be in Danfu Pavilion to provide more Advanced Medicinal Pills, she could still meet the demands of some ordinary Loose Cultivators.
Only Talismans were a bit troublesome, as Lu Hong had already expended a lot of mental energy just on Alchemy.
However, in Su Bai's absence, the Xu Family would also look after this aspect.
The Xu Family now supported many Alchemists and Talisman Masters.
It was enough for Danfu Pavilion's daily needs.
"Mm, Aunt Su has always had a lot of confidence in Lu Hong."
After everything that needed to be explained was done.
Su Bai followed Xu Changge to Xingluo Mountain, to the Xu Family's secret chamber.
This place was where Xu Changge had previously gone into seclusion to impact Core Formation.
Xu Changge stood outside the secret chamber and said to Su Bai:
"Core Formation is a big Bottleneck after all, maintain your mindset well. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter, you still have plenty of time. This time, just approach it with a mindset of trying, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Xu Changge's face held a hint of worry.
Su Bai's Cultivation was a bit lower than her own when she went into seclusion, and she was a little worried about Su Bai.
Su Bai, however, smiled confidently.
"With this Venerable One's strength, a small Core Formation is merely a piece of cake."
As her voice fell, the secret chamber closed.
Xu Changge's ears still echoed with Su Bai's confident words.
