Chapter 84: Xingluofang City is under construction, getting along

Lü Hong excitedly shared the process and results of her Cultivation from last night with Su Bai.

Although Su Bai already knew through her Divine Sense.

She still patiently listened to Lü Hong personally recount the changes she experienced during her Cultivation.

"The Spiritual Silkworm has started to become active."

"My Cultivation speed has also increased a lot!"

"If this is the case, my Cultivation won't be much slower than Big Brother's in the future!"

As she spoke, Su Bai stood on her tiptoes and reached out to gently stroke Lü Hong's head, comforting her.

She helped her calm down from her excited state.

"You still need to accumulate more. There's also a Bottleneck when Breaking Through from Qi Refining Stage – Mid Phase to Qi Refining Stage – Late Phase."

"If your accumulation isn't enough…"

"Many Cultivators get stuck and die at this stage."

Su Bai directly poured a basin of cold water on Lü Hong.

However, perhaps because she was young.

Lü Hong didn't overthink it.

Seeing Lü Hong's expression, Su Bai knew that telling her these things now was useless.

Moreover, with the Earthly Spiritual Root Spiritual Silkworm, it was uncertain whether Lü Hong would even encounter that Bottleneck.

After sending Lü Hong to weed the medicinal field.

Su Bai planned to study Formations today.

In Su Bai's eyes, Alchemy wasn't as important as Formations.

Once her Formation Rank reached Rank Two.

She would be able to do even more things.

At the very least, her personal privacy and safety would be significantly improved.

Rank One Formations inherently carry various Spells and can be used for trapping enemies, attacking, concealing, and so on.

Upon reaching Rank Two Formations, their power increases by another level.

With Rank Two Formations, one can draw upon surrounding Spiritual Veins or the power of heaven and earth.

Achieving feats like changing celestial phenomena, which only great Cultivators can perform.

As for future Rank Three Formations, Su Bai had only heard of them.

For example, the Formation used by Tianyun City, that thing seemed capable of spatial displacement, splitting opponents, and even suppression.

Currently, those were too distant for Su Bai.

She only wanted to become a Rank Two Formation Master as soon as possible.

To elevate her Family's Formation Rank by a notch.

So that even Xu Changge wouldn't be able to discover her secrets.

Mainly because last time she Broke Through to Body Refining Second Rank, all the Formations in the house were fully activated, and several Talismans were also used.

Body Refining Breakthrough mainly involved absorbing the power of Qingyun Thunder Bamboo, and didn't absorb a large amount of Spiritual Qi.

That's why the commotion during the Breakthrough wasn't detected by the outside world.

This time was different.

Spell Cultivator Breakthrough requires absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Qi. Su Bai had a way to solve the Spiritual Qi problem; she still had stored Spirit Stones.

The last Body Refining Breakthrough didn't use much at all.

But she was still worried about being discovered.

To ensure safety during the Breakthrough, Su Bai needed to raise the Formation's Rank by another level.

In the study.

The floor was covered with discarded waste paper.

These were all the points where Su Bai realized she had made mistakes while studying Formations.

Because her Divine Sense had greatly increased.

Su Bai's progress in Formations was greater than in Alchemy.

Further improvement in Alchemy might have to wait until Su Bai Breaks Through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, when the Spiritual Qi in her body completely transforms into a liquid state, and she masters Foundation Establishment Spiritual Fire.

But Formations were different.

Su Bai had plenty of various Materials in her hands.

She also possessed Divine Sense more powerful than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator – Early Stage.

Which could provide significant help in deducing Formations.

Just as Su Bai was studying Formations.

Xu Changge's voice came from outside.

"Xiaobai, Sister is here. Aren't you coming out to greet her?"

Hearing Xu Changge's voice, Su Bai waved her hand, opened the Formation.

Then she walked out of the study.

She saw Xu Changge, dressed in a green dress, standing outside the pavilion.

Su Bai asked with a hint of confusion:

"Sister Xu, aren't you busy with Xingluo Market recently? How do you have time to come here?"

Seeing Su Bai come out.

At this time, Su Bai had not left her Haijiao Cliff for thirteen years.

She naturally did not disguise herself.

Her petite body, and exquisitely cute face carried a hint of laziness.

Her long black hair was not tied up, flowing down her back, just covering her hips.

Her hands were hidden in her sleeves, making her look like a small animal curled up into a ball.

Upon seeing her, Xu Changge felt a heartfelt fondness.

She opened her arms, slowly walked to Su Bai's front, and gently hugged her.

"Hehe, the matters of the Xingluo Market have been settled."

"I'm here, of course, for the gift I promised my sister before."

After speaking, Xu Changge handed Su Bai a Jade Slip.

This was the deed for Xingluo Market.

With this in hand, Su Bai could directly go to the market later and open her own shop.

Xu Changge saw that Lü Hong was still there, so she didn't explain anything else in detail.

Instead, she directly invited Su Bai:

"This shop is on the commercial street designated by my Xu Family; it awaits your arrival at any time."

Hearing the soft whisper in her ear.

Su Bai felt her ears tingle a little.

She turned her head and tilted it, her expression unchanged, only saying to Xu Changge:

"Thank you, Sister Xu. This must be taking a share of your Xu Family's profits, right?"

Although from Xu Changge's words, she had directly occupied a street in Xingluo Market.

That place would entirely be the Xu Family's property in the future.

If she decided to give Su Bai a shop, her own income would definitely be affected.

"Hehe, if my sister is afraid that I'll suffer a loss, you can give me twenty percent of your shop's profits in the future, you know."

"Hmm, if I can earn, definitely."

Su Bai nodded seriously.

Seeing Su Bai's appearance, Xu Changge dotingly stroked Su Bai's head and said nothing more.

And Lü Hong, not far away.

Watching Xu Changge familiarly hug Su Bai.

Her small hands covered her mouth in surprise.

So Island Master Xu and Su Yi's relationship is this close…?

What a great discovery!

The Xingluo Market had been settled.

Next was the construction.

As a Rank Two Formation Master, Xu Changge would certainly have to contribute.

Even the entire market's Formations would need Xu Changge to arrange them.

She would be very busy later.

Before, because of those several Cultivation Families on the coast, she had always been busy and had no time to come to Su Bai.

Now that the matter had settled.

Taking advantage of delivering the gift, she quickly came to get close to Su Bai.

Although she only clung to Su Bai for a short while.

Xu Changge felt her weary heart had been somewhat relieved.

She wanted to stay at Su Bai's place for a period of time.

It was unknown when the two of them would meet again next time.

The construction of the market was a huge project; it wouldn't be finished in just a few years.

One doesn't hit a smiling person.

Xu Changge had already given her a gift.

Su Bai could endure being hugged for a while.

She also knew that Xu Changge wouldn't be coming over for a long time afterward, so she tacitly agreed to Xu Changge's request to stay at her place for a few nights.

When Xu Changge unilaterally hugged Su Bai and then separated.

Xu Changge checked Su Bai's cultivation.

She found that although it was still Qi Refining Stage – Rank Nine, the vitality within her body was vigorous and showed no signs of decline, which relieved her.

She was worried that when she came again, she would find that Su Bai's cultivation had not progressed, and even the vitality and Qi and blood in her body had begun to decline, then she would truly cry.

And even if Su Bai was unwilling, she would make Su Bai forcefully try to Break Through to Foundation Establishment.

After all, if she failed, it would just be the same as before, living to one hundred and twenty years old and then completely perishing.

But if she succeeded, her Lifespan would directly double, living for two or three hundred years would be fine.

Su Bai wasn't idle either.

When Xu Changge hugged her, the two were extremely close, and Xu Changge also had no defenses.

Allowing Su Bai to perceive her cultivation.

The Spiritual Qi in her body was abundant, clearly indicating she was about to Break Through to Foundation Establishment – Middle Stage.

How many years had it been since the other party became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator…?

When the two separated.

Both saw a slight smile on each other's faces.

Xu Changge was happy that Su Bai's physical condition was very good and there was no need to worry about the Foundation Establishment issue.

Su Bai simply had always maintained good composure…
