At this moment, Su Bai had a new understanding of Alchemy.
She needed to immediately fire up the Pill Furnace and refine a batch of second-tier Medicinal Pills to verify it.
As for the Materials in her hand, the Foundation Establishment Pill was the most suitable Medicinal Pill.
There was no need to hesitate; she immediately started a fire for Alchemy.
Yes, start a fire.
If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they might already be able to control their Foundation Establishment Spiritual Fire at this moment.
With their spiritual power, they could unleash high-temperature flames with stable heat.
Unfortunately, Su Bai was at Body Refining Second Stage, and her spiritual power had not undergone a qualitative change, so she could not use Foundation Establishment Spiritual Fire.
"Hmph, who says you can't refine second-tier Medicinal Pills without Foundation Establishment Spiritual Fire? Today, I'll refine one for you to see!"
"Medicinal Pills, come!"
With a wave of her small hand, Spirit Medicine of the second-tier were taken out from her Storage Pouch.
Then they entered the Pill Furnace to begin refining.
As the flame temperature gradually increased, the Spirit Medicine seemed to begin to be refined into liquid.
Just as Su Bai was lamenting that second-tier Medicinal Pills were nothing special, boom!
A muffled thunder exploded out of nowhere!
The Pill Furnace exploded!
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
In the smoke and dust, Su Bai kept fanning her hand in front of her face, fanning away the surrounding dust.
"Is the power that great?"
"High-risk profession, indeed a high-risk profession."
Looking at the leaking roof above her head, Su Bai was a bit speechless.
She was about to use a Dust Removal Charm to clear away the surrounding smoke and dust when a black object fell from the leaking roof, landing right on Su Bai's forehead.
Thump!
Clang!
Touching her forehead where she was hit, and looking at the fragments on the ground, it was clear that the Alchemy had failed, and her Pill Furnace was completely scrapped.
"Is the cost of failing a second-tier Medicinal Pill this high?"
"I can't imagine how powerful the explosion would be if a third-tier Medicinal Pill failed."
She squatted down and picked up the fragments of the Pill Furnace.
Although it had exploded into fragments, if it were re-melted, the Materials inside could still be used.
After simply tidying up the surrounding area, Su Bai saw that not only was the roof leaking, but half of the door had been blown away.
She could only fix the house first, and then refine a good Pill Furnace.
She also planned to reinforce the Pill Refining Room again.
At least in the future, if the Pill Furnace exploded, it wouldn't be such a mess.
While Su Bai was repairing her house, the Formation was triggered again.
A Sound Transmission Talisman was circling outside the Formation, unable to fly in.
Seeing this, Su Bai opened a gap in the Formation, allowing the Sound Transmission Talisman to fly in.
"Who sent me this Sound Transmission?"
Actually, Su Bai roughly knew in her heart.
The only one who would still send her messages in this way was Xu Changge.
After hearing the content of the Sound Transmission Talisman, it was indeed Xu Changge's voice inside.
Once the content was finished, the Sound Transmission Talisman spontaneously combusted.
Su Bai stroked her chin.
Xu Changge said she had something going on and wanted to invite her over.
This was already who knows how many times Xu Changge had invited her.
Su Bai's answer was still "I am Cultivating, so it's inconvenient to go out."
After sealing her answer into a Sound Transmission Talisman, she directly threw it outside the Formation.
Then she continued to repair her house.
Just as Su Bai carried out all the damaged beams and tiles from the Pill Refining Room, Xu Changge arrived.
Xu Changge stood outside the Formation, floating in the air.
Her white plain palace dress revealed her curvaceous figure.
A red ribbon floated behind her.
As soon as Xu Changge arrived, she saw Su Bai's dirty little face below, carrying a pile of trash out of the house.
At the same time, she also noticed that the Formation she had once set up had now been modified in many places.
It seemed that Su Bai had made great progress in the Dao of Formation.
Looking down at the busy Su Bai, Xu Changge knew Su Bai's current age.
Su Bai's background was very clear; she was born in Purple Bamboo Immortal Market, inherited her family business after her parents' death, became a Spiritual Farmer, and Cultivated her way up.
When she first met Su Bai, Xu Changge had already investigated everything.
Now, sensing that Su Bai was already at Qi Refining Ninth Layer, although her Sound Transmission Talisman said she was Cultivating, Xu Changge found that she was still doing Alchemy and researching Formation after coming over.
This made Xu Changge feel a bit anxious.
Su Bai below had also noticed Xu Changge's arrival.
The two were one tall and one short, one flying in the air, one standing on the ground.
Xu Changge saw Su Bai looking at her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Little sister, why won't you let me in when your elder sister has come?"
Hearing this, Su Bai threw away all the trash in her hands.
She opened the Formation to let Xu Changge in.
Seeing Xu Changge gracefully descending from the air, Su Bai clapped the dust off her hands.
"I just had a small accident, making elder sister see a joke."
Xu Changge didn't dwell too much on such matters.
She was more concerned about Su Bai's Cultivation.
"You are already at Qi Refining Ninth Layer, aren't you going to try Foundation Establishment?"
"The Foundation Establishment Pill I gave you is still there, isn't it?"
Xu Changge sensed that Su Bai's aura was stable, but she should have only recently broken through.
"You should diligently Cultivate, instead of wasting your time on Alchemy and Formation."
Xu Changge knew that Su Bai's Alchemy skills were quite good.
And she had also asked her for advice on the Dao of Formation.
From Shen Fang frequently coming to Su Bai to exchange for Medicinal Pills, it could be seen that the quality of Su Bai's Medicinal Pills was at least better than those of Alchemists in other markets.
So Shen Fang didn't bother to seek far and wide.
As for Formation, being able to modify the High Grade first-tier Formation she had once set up indicated that Su Bai's research in Formation was also quite good.
But these two skills were quite time and energy-consuming.
In Xu Changge's opinion, if Su Bai hadn't wasted time on these two skills, she might have already reached Foundation Establishment by now.
Xu Changge's words only made Su Bai smile freely.
The two were close in Cultivation at this time; with Su Bai operating the Breath Concealment Art, Xu Changge also didn't notice that Su Bai was already at Body Refining Second Stage Realm.
However, her elder sister cared for her so much, Su Bai couldn't appear too cold.
So she scratched her head a bit awkwardly.
"This can be considered my Cultivation mindset. After all, breaking through from Qi Refining Late Stage to Foundation Establishment might also encounter a Bottleneck. To be on the safe side, I haven't rushed to Breakthrough."
"As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it's naturally still kept."
"Elder sister, rest assured, I am naturally confident about breaking through to Foundation Establishment."
These words were not an exaggeration from Su Bai.
Before, she had at least sixty percent confidence in breaking through to Foundation Establishment; now, with Body Refining Second Stage as her Foundation, breaking through to Foundation Establishment was already a certainty.
Su Bai's words were calm, but it was not hard to hear her confidence.
Xu Changge couldn't force Su Bai either.
It was just that Su Bai had refused her invitations to her Xu Family several times before, which made Xu Changge a bit anxious.
Now seeing that Su Bai was fine and her Cultivation was steadily progressing, although the golden age for Foundation Establishment was about to pass, Su Bai's composure also put Xu Changge at ease.
Judging from her steady conduct when she was with Su Bai before, Su Bai wouldn't act without purpose.
So she mentioned another matter.
"Forget it, as for Foundation Establishment, you decide for yourself."
"I came to see you today for something else."
"I once told you that I wanted you to raise Spiritual Fish here at Haijiao Cliff."
"Now Wumu Island is gradually developing."
"I want to relocate some Mortals here to be fishermen."
"This is your Dao field after all, so I wanted to discuss it with you."
