The ebony boat was indeed very fast.
The three of them were not in a hurry on the way, taking their time, and it only took them ten days to reach Heavenly Fortune City.
Along the way, Su Bai also experienced the effect of the Formation modified by Xu Changge.
It was indeed much stronger than her own.
After entering Heavenly Fortune City,
to better Cultivate, Su Bai did not hide her cultivation.
She directly met the City Lord, True Person Changbai.
"Junior Su Bai greets True Person Changbai."
"Haha, no need to be so polite. This old man is Fan Tongzhi, a title given by fellow Cultivators. Fellow Daoist Su, what are your plans for coming to my Heavenly Fortune City?"
"To rent an Immortal Cave and do some small business. I have a skill in Alchemy, which all Fellow Daoists will be able to use in the future."
Saying that, Su Bai took out the token she had received from the Elixir Cauldron Sect at the Alchemist exchange conference.
True Person Changbai's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing it.
An Alchemist recognized by the Elixir Cauldron Sect.
He hurriedly asked:
"Are you a Third-Order Alchemist, Fellow Daoist?"
"Precisely."
As soon as these words were spoken, True Person Changbai nodded repeatedly.
"Fellow Daoist, once you live in Heavenly Fortune City, you will know its benefits. The Demon Beast Mountain Range is rich in Spirit Medicine, and the types of Yao Beasts are countless. In the future, you will definitely not lack Spirit Medicine for Alchemy."
"Haha, I also value this point, which is why I came."
A Third-Order Alchemist! There are very few in the Loose Cultivator community, a rare and sought-after individual.
After Su Bai said she wanted to live here for a period of time,
True Person Changbai personally selected a suitable Immortal Cave for Su Bai.
He even offered to rent a prime shop to Su Bai at a cheaper price, allowing her to earn more Spirit Stones.
This was the advantage of having status.
On the very day Su Bai arrived in Heavenly Fortune City, her Immortal Cave and shop were ready.
Even some False Core Cultivators and Core Formation Cultivators brought gifts to visit her.
Su Bai naturally did not refuse.
This was also a way to show her approachable nature.
To tell her neighbors that she was not an aloof or eccentric Alchemist.
If they needed help, they could come to her.
In this way, Su Bai would soon get to know most of the Core Formation Cultivators in Heavenly Fortune City.
This would facilitate Su Bai's collection of various information.
If any Secret Realm or auction appeared with Spirit Medicine in the future, she would be able to get some news.
After Lu Hong sent off the last group of people, she was clearly surprised that her Aunt Su, when traveling, had such prestige.
Just by moving to a different place,
so many people came to curry favor.
When they lived in Xingluo City, they didn't have this kind of treatment.
Su Bai sat in the main seat, looking at the Immortal Cave they had newly rented for a hundred years.
It occupied an entire mountain peak.
This place was very close to a Third-Order Spiritual Vein, making it the best location apart from where True Person Changbai resided.
"First, set up the Formation, and then plant some Spirit Medicine."
Since those Core Formation Cultivators visited today, Su Bai would naturally return the visit to express her gratitude on another day.
First, she would manage her relationships with those around her.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, I'll trouble you to guard the mountain gate."
Su Bai needed to interact with the Core Formation Cultivators. After the Spirit Medicine was planted on the mountain, Lu Hong would need to manage it, and the newly opened Danfu Pavilion also needed Lu Hong to oversee it.
Yan Lei would help her block those Foundation Establishment Cultivators who wanted to visit and also see if there were any Families worth befriending.
It would take about a year and a half to truly settle down.
A day later,
Su Bai set up a Formation on the mountain peak she rented and handed the Formation Flags that controlled the Formation to Lu Hong and Yan Lei.
Then she instructed Lu Hong:
"I'll plant the Spirit Medicine first. Lu Hong, you manage it for now. There's no rush to open the Danfu Pavilion."
She then said to Yan Lei:
"Fellow Daoist Yan, I'm going out to discuss the Dao with those Core Formation Cultivators for a few days. If anyone comes looking for me, I'll trouble you."
Lu Hong nodded, patted her chest, and said:
"Don't worry, Aunt Su. I'm now a Second-Order High Grade Alchemist. Taking care of Spirit Medicine is a small matter."
Yan Lei also cupped his hands and replied:
"Senior, please rest assured, I will handle it properly."
After giving her instructions, Su Bai left to find the Core Formation Cultivators who had visited her earlier.
Since she was going to express her gratitude, she had to bring some gifts.
To display her status, Su Bai naturally brought Medicinal Pills.
She was generous, directly bringing High Grade Spirit Essence Pills.
These Medicinal Pills could increase the cultivation of Core Formation Cultivators. Ordinary Loose Cultivators usually relied on Spiritual Veins, Spirit Stones, or simply consumed Spirit Medicine to Cultivate.
They had never seen such excellent Medicinal Pills.
Even True Person Changbai, the strongest Core Formation Cultivator, who had some cooperation with the Six Sects and knew a few Third-Order Alchemists, didn't consume Spirit Essence Pills daily.
Su Bai's move was very well-received.
It also ignited a fervent desire in these Core Formation Cultivators.
They thought that if they found any good Spirit Medicine in the future, they would definitely give it to Su Bai to help refine it into Medicinal Pills.
It was not easy to meet such an approachable Third-Order Alchemist, so they naturally had to curry favor with her.
Through such mutual exchanges, Su Bai, who originally went to deliver gifts, ended up receiving many gifts in return.
Once Su Bai had gotten to know most of the Core Formation Cultivators,
the Danfu Pavilion reopened.
However, this time Su Bai did not show her face; Lu Hong was the one fronting the business.
But Lu Hong opening the shop also surprised many.
After all, as a female Cultivator, she was also a Second-Order High Grade Alchemist.
This immediately attracted the attention of many Families in the city.
These individuals also knew that Lu Hong had a Core Formation Cultivator and a Third-Order Alchemist backing her.
They couldn't curry favor with the Third-Order Alchemist.
But they could curry favor with Lu Hong.
Perhaps with a bit of luck, they could contact Su Bai, who was her Master, through Lu Hong, the Second-Order Alchemist.
In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Su Bai and Lu Hong was that of Master and disciple.
Although it was almost that.
However, Lu Hong had never called Su Bai Master, and Su Bai only treated Lu Hong as a child she was raising.
As for how Lu Hong truly viewed Su Bai in her heart, only she herself knew.
Shortly after arriving in Heavenly Fortune City, everything went smoothly because Su Bai directly revealed her identity.
She had an Immortal Cave with a Third-Order Spiritual Vein, and the Danfu Pavilion had also reopened.
She was truly settled down in Heavenly Fortune City.
Just as Su Bai was able to Cultivate peacefully and inquire about Nascent Soul resources,
Xiao Qing, in her Spirit Beast Pouch, finally reacted.
Perceiving the Spiritual Qi fluctuations in the Spirit Beast Pouch, and the Spiritual Qi continuously gathering around.
Su Bai, who was drinking tea, paused.
Then a smile appeared on her face.
"Haha, it's finally going to Breakthrough. It's been sixteen years, hasn't it?"
"And this is a Spirit Beast with an Earthly Spiritual Root; its Breakthrough is even slower than mine."
"Without your assistance, Xiao Qing, my cultivation speed wouldn't have reached its fastest these past years."
Muttering to herself, Su Bai immediately activated the Formation of her Immortal Cave.
Then she threw out several Formation Flags, quickly setting up a Gathering Spirit Array.
She also took out many Spirit Stones.
She took Xiao Qing out of the Spirit Beast Pouch, placed it in the Gathering Spirit Array, and began to act as Protector for Xiao Qing.
Looking at the Dragon coiled up, with its eyes tightly closed, beginning to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi, Su Bai showed an expectant expression.
This time, Xiao Qing would Breakthrough to a Third-Order Spirit Beast.
From now on, she would ride it out every day.
