Chapter 102 Ascension Meeting, Patrol Team

“You want me to go over there?”

Upon hearing Xu Changge’s message, Su Bai peered at the distant mountain peak, which occupied the main Spiritual Vein.

She really wanted to refuse her directly with backbone, but her current shop was a gift from Xu Changge.

Instantly, Su Bai’s straight back softened.

Lü Hong stood by, looking at Su Bai curiously.

Just a moment ago, she was holding her head high, like an enlightened master.

How could she instantly become dejected after hearing a message?

“What’s wrong, Su Yi? Is something the matter?”

“Something came up. Changge needs me for something. I’m going out for a bit. You watch the shop.”

“Oh, alright. But Su Yi, how long will you be gone this time?”

“…I’ll be back as soon as we’ve discussed things.”

With that, Su Bai walked towards the backyard.

“?”

Lü Hong looked at Su Bai’s actions with some curiosity.

Isn’t she leaving now?

Why is she walking from the front door into the backyard?

Is she planning to leave through the backyard?

As Lü Hong wondered, Su Bai walked into the Alchemy room.

She reached into the bottom of the Pill Furnace, scooped out two handfuls of ash, and smeared them on her clean Magical Robe and small face.

“…”

Lü Hong watched Su Bai emerge from the Alchemy room, covered in dirt.

Her lips moved twice.

She really wanted to go up and tell Su Bai to change her dirty clothes.

But Su Bai had intentionally dirtied them.

She could only watch Su Bai leave through the backyard.

“Forget it. When Su Yi comes back, I’ll wash them for her.”

“She’s so pretty, why doesn’t she show it off?”

She completely forgot that if Su Bai wanted to be clean, she could just use a Dust-Cleansing Spell, so why would she need her to wash the Magical Robe?

After leaving Danfu Pavilion, she took out the high-grade Magical Artifact Wen Niao Xiu Pa (Mandarin Duck Embroidered Pouch) from her Storage Pouch and stepped directly onto it, flying towards the Xu Family’s base.

Although she was already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she hadn’t exposed her true cultivation yet.

So, whenever she could use a means of transportation, Su Bai would use it.

Arriving at the foot of the Spiritual Vein mountain, she put away her Magical Artifact.

Looking at the stone tablet in front of her, it read: “Six Extremes Mountain… Heh, the name of this mountain, any attentive person could easily guess why it was named this way.”

She glanced at the few buildings on the mountain.

They were clearly distinct, like well water not interfering with river water.

Aside from the bases of the four Foundation Establishment Families at the very top, there were exactly six areas.

If Su Bai’s prediction was correct, this Xingluo Market would probably also be divided into six sections in the future.

Upon arriving at Six Extremes Mountain, Su Bai did not fly directly up.

Instead, she chose to walk.

There was no special reason; it was just that Su Bai had just seen several streaks of light fly overhead.

Judging by their Magical Robes, they were Disciples of the Qingzhu Sword Sect.

Sect Disciples were already here, and Su Bai naturally couldn’t afford to provoke them.

What if she flew over their heads and offended them, leading to trouble?

Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, Su Bai chose to walk.

Even without flying, Su Bai’s speed was not slow.

Under the circumstances of using movement techniques, she was much faster than normal running.

Before long, she arrived at the mountain top.

The top of Six Extremes Mountain had been completely leveled, with only various buildings.

The four Foundation Establishment Families were distributed in four directions.

If one observed carefully, they would find that the positioning of these four directions had a hint of a Formation within them.

After discovering this, Su Bai’s expression remained unchanged.

She walked directly towards the Xu Family’s base.

Just as she reached the entrance, a gate guard stopped Su Bai.

The character “Xu” was embroidered on the chest of his Magical Robe.

He was young, with a hint of arrogance on his face, and he held out his hand to block the entrance.

“Stop. This is the Xu Family’s base. No idlers allowed. Do you have an invitation?”

“…”

Su Bai didn’t have one. Xu Changge had directly sent her a Sound Transmission Talisman to call her over.

The Sound Transmission Talisman had self-combusted after completing its task.

“No, but I am an acquaintance of Island Master Xu Changge. Please go in and inform her that Su Bai is here.”

However, the gate guard didn’t even listen to Su Bai’s words.

“Our Old Ancestor knows many people, and there are countless people in this Southwest Sea who want to see the Old Ancestor.”

“You, hehe.”

Listening to his sarcastic words, Su Bai tilted her head.

Was she being too polite?

Or was Xu Changge not managing her people well?

Why was this gate guard speaking so harshly?

In fact, it was because Su Bai looked too unkempt.

That handful of pot ash she applied before leaving made Su Bai look like an abnormal person, even though she was currently displaying the Aura of a Qi Refining (9th Layer) Cultivator.

“Junior, considering your diligence, go in and inform her now.”

“Otherwise, don’t blame this Cultivator for being ruthless.”

Su Bai’s expression was serious as she stood at the entrance of the Xu Family’s base.

The gate guard, hearing Su Bai’s tone, was momentarily unsure.

After all, some Cultivators had eccentric temperaments.

Could this slightly disheveled girl in front of him truly be some important figure?

His heart pounded.

“I…”

Just as he was about to say something more, Su Bai’s face already showed clear displeasure.

She directly released her Qi Refining (9th Layer) Aura, pressing down on the other party.

The small gate guard immediately went weak in the knees and knelt on the ground.

Then, Su Bai retracted her Aura and said, “A small punishment. Go and inform her quickly. Don’t waste this Cultivator’s time.”

This time, the other party was not so tough.

He had recognized Su Bai’s power.

After all, although the Xu Family was developing rapidly at this time, there was only Xu Changge, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The Family Head and some Elders were also at the Qi Refining (8th Layer) and Qi Refining (9th Layer) levels.

This seemingly small and dirty girl in front of him was actually as powerful as their own Elders.

Not long after the gate guard went in, Xu Changge came out with a smile on her face.

“Xiaobai, you’re here. My apologies, my apologies.”

“The situation in the Family is a bit complicated right now, and I haven’t mentioned your name to them. Please don’t take offense.”

Xu Changge didn’t mind the black ash on Su Bai’s body.

She reached out and pulled Su Bai inside.

At this point, the Xu Family members who came out with Xu Changge had already replaced the young gate guard from before.

Su Bai didn’t ask anything, but instead inquired about the reason Xu Changge had asked her to come.

“Sister Xu, why did you ask me to come? Is something the matter?”

Xu Changge held Su Bai with one hand, her eyes showing some fatigue.

Xu Changge had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

She was definitely a prominent figure in this Southwest Sea.

However, the situation in the market was somewhat complex now.

She said to Su Bai, “The Six Upper Sects have already sent invitation letters to various markets, Families, and even secular nobles in Zhang Country and neighboring countries.”

“Twenty years from now, they will hold a School Immortal Ascension Assembly in Xingluo Market to recruit Outer Sect Disciples. Any Cultivator under the age of twenty, as long as they pass the test, can enter the Six Major Sects.”

Hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Su Bai’s eyes.

So that was why so many Loose Cultivators had suddenly appeared in Xingluo Market recently.

Those Loose Cultivators definitely wouldn’t have a chance to enter the Six Upper Sects.

But it didn’t stop them from joining in the fun, or settling down in Xingluo Market first and having children.

Then, twenty years later, they could let their children participate in the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

However, Xu Changge calling her here shouldn’t be because of this matter.

Indeed, Xu Changge had more to say.

“But too many Loose Cultivators have entered the market, and it’s a mix of good and bad people. Cultivator: Jie Xiu have already appeared.”

“I don’t have many people I can mobilize right now, but I know you’ve come to the market.”

“So, I was thinking of having you manage the Patrol Team.”
