Su Bai didn't care about the migration of Mortals.
It was just about establishing a few Mortal villages below Haijiao Cliff.
This was quite normal for some Cultivation Families.
Immortal Seeds with Spiritual Root Aptitude would also be born in Mortal villages.
They might embark on the path of Immortals in the future, serving the Cultivation Families.
Just like how Su Bai used to be a Spiritual Farmer for others.
Once the Mortal villages prospered, there might be Loose Cultivators working for Su Bai, helping her manage Spirit Fields and raise Spirit Fish.
This was a very normal development.
No one would refuse.
However, Su Bai was the exception.
She didn't need Loose Cultivators to work for her.
But a direct refusal wasn't good either.
So, she could only tell Xu Changge that the fishermen could stay down the mountain as long as they didn't disturb her.
This answer was a bit unexpected for Xu Changge; she thought Su Bai would readily agree.
However, looking at Su Bai's reply, it was a reluctant agreement.
Then Xu Changge brought up another matter.
"Besides migrating the fishermen, there's also the matter of Xingluo Market."
"The Song Family of Tianxing Island, the Ding Family of Taiping Island, and the Wang Family of Guan Yue Island, all three Foundation Establishment Families, will participate."
"Including me, that's a total of four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, which is enough to deal with the Qi Refining Families on the coast."
"However, if you want a better location in the Market, you'll have to come with us."
"Will you come?"
Su Bai generally understood the matter of the Market.
Xu Changge had promised her a shop.
But now that other Families were putting in effort, Su Bai, who was getting something for free, would naturally have to be a bit lower in priority.
Only after the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the main contributors, had divided everything, would Su Bai be considered.
"At this moment, I have reached a critical point in my Cultivation, and I truly cannot be distracted."
Su Bai still politely declined.
"I thought so too. Then you Cultivate well. I won't disturb you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changge sighed.
She had invited Su Bai out multiple times, but she always refused.
This time was no exception.
Xu Changge had long been prepared for this.
After admonishing Su Bai not to slack off and to Cultivate diligently, Xu Changge ascended into the air and left.
Looking at Su Bai, who was getting smaller and smaller beneath her feet.
Xu Changge felt that Su Bai had changed a little.
In the past, when Su Bai faced her, she always showed great respect and humility.
Generally, when she had a request, Su Bai would not refuse.
But recently.
Su Bai had more of her own thoughts.
She no longer treated her with the same deference as before.
Yet, nothing seemed to have happened to Su Bai.
"Is it my illusion?"
"My sister is just being a bit impatient because of her Cultivation, perhaps."
Unable to figure it out, Xu Changge could only shake her head.
She planned to communicate more with Su Bai in the future.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for a while, and their relationship might have become a bit estranged.
Regarding what Xu Changge was guessing in her heart.
If Su Bai knew, she would answer, yes.
Su Bai's attitude towards Xu Changge had indeed changed slightly.
After all, although Xu Changge didn't know, Su Bai was aware that they were already Cultivators of the same Realm.
So, Su Bai didn't need to be constantly cautious when facing Xu Changge.
Or agree to everything.
After Xu Changge's figure completely disappeared from sight.
Su Bai folded her arms and began to ponder.
"When Xu Changge came just now, she glanced at the Formation twice. It's clear she noticed that the Formation I set up had been modified, but she didn't say anything."
"This indicates that she doesn't care about this point."
"Perhaps in Xu Changge's eyes, my relationship with her is very close?"
Su Bai didn't know this.
Her only concern was to achieve Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.
As for the fishermen below Haijiao Cliff, let them develop on their own.
And the matter of Xingluo Market, from Xu Changge's words, it seemed like they were about to take action soon.
"How lively."
Ever since Xu Changge arrived at the Xingluo Archipelago, she hadn't had a moment of peace.
Su Bai looked at her small, dust-covered hands.
She casually walked to the water pool by the Spirit Field, washed them, and then shook her hands dry.
Now she had to make a new Pill Furnace.
With her current skill, Su Bai could at most make a High Grade first-tier Pill Furnace.
That should barely be enough, right?
If a Pill Furnace of this grade still exploded.
Her Artifact Refining skill would be at its limit, and she could only try her best to improve her Alchemy techniques.
It was only because Su Bai had a good body and was resistant to explosions.
Even if Alchemy failed, she could endure it.
Now Xu Changge wanted to relocate the fishermen to her side.
Then the items in Su Bai's underground Immortal Cave would have to be moved.
The Immortal Cave could be kept as a quiet place for Cultivation.
But things like Spirit Medicine had to be moved entirely to Great Wu.
As for the Spirit Medicine planted in the surface Medicine Fields, that didn't matter.
Those Spirit Medicine were growing normally; at most, the yield would be a bit better.
Su Bai checked the Formation again, then quickly ran back into the house, entering the underground Immortal Cave through a secret passage.
She dug up the Spirit Medicine inside and put them into her Storage Pouch for transfer.
Only after becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could one keep some secrets.
All who could achieve Foundation Establishment had an Opportunity.
By the time she finished, night had fallen.
She looked up at the starry sky.
She was so small in this world.
Just as Su Bai was about to recite a poem.
The starlight was obscured by dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the distance.
It was going to rain.
The Xingluo Archipelago was located on the sea, where the weather changed mercilessly.
Often, one moment it was clear skies, and the next, it was covered in dark clouds.
"Damn it! I haven't patched my house yet, it's going to leak!"
Seeing the weather change, Su Bai was no longer in the mood to recite poetry. She quickly grabbed a few wooden boards and a hammer and rushed out to repair the roof.
As Su Bai sat on the roof, constantly covering the damaged holes with wooden boards.
The torrential rain had already arrived.
In the lightning-filled, thundering night, on the pavilion of Haijiao Cliff.
Only a somewhat hurried, petite figure was constantly wielding a hammer.
In the following days, Su Bai continued to Cultivate systematically.
However, when Su Bai re-refined the Pill Furnace, she performed exceptionally well, actually obtaining a top-grade Magical Artifact level Pill Furnace.
A Pill Furnace of this grade was already sufficient for refining second-tier Medicinal Pills.
Even if the furnace exploded, there was no need to worry about damage.
With the new Pill Furnace, Foundation Establishment Pills could be refined again.
Although explosions continued to occur.
The newly repaired house had been reinforced and even had Formations added.
Thus, a full half year passed.
Su Bai sat in the hot Alchemy room, gently waving her hand.
The Pill Furnace was opened.
As Su Bai performed the incantations, which had been improved over a hundred times.
Seven Medicinal Pills flew out of the furnace, floating in mid-air.
Each one was round and full.
Su Bai's hand incantations continued without stopping.
The Medicinal Pills quickly cooled down.
One of the Medicinal Pills quickly dimmed in luster, then the entire Medicinal Pill turned black and deformed, finally turning into dust.
A Waste Pill(waste pill).
Then the luster of two more Medicinal Pills dissipated, but the surface of the Medicinal Pills was somewhat dull.
Two Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pills, capable of providing a 20% success rate for Foundation Establishment.
These two Medicinal Pills alone could sell for at least four thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
The remaining four Medicinal Pills also faded in luster but emitted a faint Medicinal fragrance.
Medium Grade Foundation Establishment Pills.
"What a pity."
Although the technique had been improved, due to the flame issue, she still couldn't successfully refine a High Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, Su Bai still had some time.
After diligent practice, it was only a matter of time before High Grade Foundation Establishment Pills, and even Foundation Establishment Pills with pill patterns, would be refined.
